Adopted By The Ways (Gerard and Mikey Way)

chp. 9

Then I heard a voice that I never wanted to hear out of school, coming from the table behind us and I froze when I realized who it was.... Chad, Dean and Trevor.
"Did you see her face earlier? Hahaha screaming for help ohh man that was fun... why the fuck is she so protective of that stupid guitar? What a bitch she is. She fucking hit me and kicked my nuts, bro. That hurt, but she got what she deserved....." Chad laughed with his friends.
"Do you think she'll show up on Monday at school?" Dean asked curiously.
"I don't know, but if she does, She's gonna be in a whole world of pain." Chad laughed.
"Haha... hey Chad why don't you look behind you." Trevor pointed me out. I panicked.

"Frankie, their here." I whispered to him.
"Who's here?" Frank asked.
"Bullies, the guys who cut me, there here at the table behind us." I said panicking.
"It's ok, you'll be ok here with us." I nodded. "Gee." Frank got Gerard's attention. "Their here." Was all he said and Gerard nodded with a stern look on his face
"Where?" Gerard asked.
"Behind us." Frank replied.
"Ok I see then." Gerard started. "Lexi, don't panic, your safe here with us, ok sugar?"
"Ok." I nodded.

With all the guys on alert. CC and Frank next to me, I feel a bit safe, but I'm still scared. I can still hear my bullies talking unusually louder for us to hear.
"... she is easy pickings, she ain't got any friends and no one will help her anyways... she should just kill herself the midget freak is one worthless little bitch.... next time I'm gonna make sure she won't be able to walk away." Chad bragged out loud.
I didn't want his words to affect me, but it made me fear going to school on Monday. Thank God is Friday.
I had my head down listening to Chad bragging and when I glanced up at all the guys, they all looked pissed off. I swear, if looks can kill, they all look like they can kill without any remorse. I wanted to get out of the restaurant right now.

*Beep,Beep* my phone buzzed in my purse signaling that I have a text message. I looked at my phone to see a message from my beat friend Jeremy from back home.

J:"Hey lexi, how are you doing? We miss you so much! How is New Jersey?"
Me:"Hey Jere I'm ok, I miss you guys too! New Jersey is ok. I wished u was back home with you guys."
J:"is everything ok?"
Me:"no, I'm being bullied at school."
Me:"I'll tell you about it later, I'm out at dinner right now."
J:"Ok, please be careful."
Me:"Ok I will."
J:"(((hugs))) miss you girly." I smiled to myself.
Me:"(((hugs))) miss you too dude...lol."
J:"lol ttys."
Me:"ttfn."

I then slid my phone back into my purse. A small smirk played on my lips. I missed my friends alot. I hope that one day I will see them again.

"Why are you smiling?" Gerard asked me from across the table.
"Huh... oh nothing, a friend of mine just texted me."I replied.
"Name and age?" Gerard demanded.
"Jeremy and he's 18."I answered.
"Where did you meet him?" Gerard asked.
"We were housed at the same orphanage.... he helped me cope."I answered. "We've been close since."
"How long have you known this boy?" Mikey asked.
"2 years." I answered.
"Do you like him?" Gerard asked almost accusingly.
"I'm not talking 'boys' with you and no, he's one of my best friends." I glared at him.
"Do you have any other friends in Tombstone?" Andy asked.
"Yes I do." I smiled remembering the fun times we had.
"What are their names?" Frank asked me.
"There's Jeremy, Micha, Paul, Brett, Neum, Courtney, Danielle, Shelly, Tara, Nina, Kim, Caitlyn, Raymond,  Tyler, Cassie, Darcy, Destiny, Brandon, Cathy, Cara, Caty, Heather and a few others." I named off a few of my friends.... ok 21 of them. "I'm not a loner, I just don't have friends here."
(A/n: the people I listed above are my real life friends.)
"Yes you do, we're your friends and Gerard and Mikey are your kickass brothers." Andy grinned. I smiled nodding my head in agreement.
After a little while we paid the bill for our meal and we left the restaurant and we all made our way to our car. We said goodbye to BVB. Each one gave me a bone crushing hug, which was funny to the guys cuz Andy, CC, Ashley, Jinxx and Jake picked me up and I pretty much was dangling in each hug.
"We'll see you guys later!" Andy called out to us as they walked over to their car.
We piled into the car and Gerard drove home. When we got home I decided to go to bed, it's been a long day and I was very tired. So Frank helped me up to my room where I practically fell asleep instantly once my head hit my pillow.

~☆~ Downstairs POV ~☆~
The guys all watched Frank help Lexi to her room. Gerard, Mikey and Ray all sat down in the living room turning on the tv, talking about random stuff.
"Andy said that they will be here in Jersey for a couple of weeks." Gerard announced.
"Awesome." Ray said.
"There gonna come by tomorrow to hang out." Gerard said.

Hearing a noise coming from the stairs, they looked up to see Frank coming down carrying an acoustic guitar case and he set it down in front of the coffee table before sitting down in a chair.
"Who's guitar is that?" Ray asked pointing at the case on the floor.
"It's Lexi's guitar, the victim from the fight." Frank said looking down at the floor.

Gerard got up from his seat and picked the guitar case setting it on the coffee table and opened it up. They all hissed at the sight of the guitar. Gerard, Mikey and Ray looked at he broken guitar for a while.
"I can see why she attacked her bully." Ray said breaking the silence.
"Lexi's dad got her that guitar on her 13th birthday, a year before they died." Gerard said out loud.
"That's why she said it was too sentimental to throw away." Frank pieced together.
"I have an idea!" Mikey announced. "Frank, since yours and Lexi's birthdays are coming up in a few weeks, how bout we take her to the guitar shop and let her choose a guitar, but not let her know that I'll be her present! And since she doesn't celebrate her birthday, we'll throw her and Frank a birthday party. Frank, you and Lexi are close, right?" Frank nodded. "Her birthday is 4 days before yours, so what do you think? A surprise party on Halloween?"
"I think that's a good idea." Gerard agreed.
"Ok, so when do we want to take her to the music store?" Frank asked Gerard.
"I'm not sure, but we'll do it very soon." Gerard said. "Perhaps tomorrow."
Everyone agreed and decided to go to bed.
