The rain soaked me through, but I didn’t care. I didn’t want to go back home where my father would abuse me more. He was Yet again he was drunk and I couldn’t defend my self. All I had was my love of music left. My Chemical Romance was my only escape in this harsh world I live in. Without them I don’t think I’d be able to make it.
Cemetery Drive- My suicide song. If I were to commit suicide it would be to this song. I would slit my wrist’s and take drugs and lie there, on the bathroom floor bleeding to death.
I stood up and with the little change I had I decided to grab something to eat. Before heading off I counted the silver coins and stuffed it back into my pocket. There was no point. I’d be able to get a Freddo bar and that was it. I sat back down and turned the song over. This time it was Famous last words. I stood up and stuffed my hand’s in my pocket’s and started to walk the long journey home. I kept my head down as car’s drove by, splashing water onto me. I didn’t once turn around and Yell at them for it, I just carried on. I stopped as I got to a Zebra-Crossing and waited for the traffic to go down so I could cross. When no car’s came I walked along when I heard a shout. I turned around seeing a small man- well he wasn’t that small. He was about 5’4 with black hair. He had a scorpion tattooed on his neck and the letter’s ‘O’ ‘K’ ‘O’ and ‘M’ and his fingers. I ran back across before a car drove past and looked at him. I was taller than him but I was 5’5
“You dropped this.” He said and passed me a note. I stared at it for a second and then realized who he was.
“Thank You Mr. Iero” I said and opened then note up.
“You know who I am?”
“Yes, You, Gerard, Ray, Mikey and Bob- even though he’s left- are the only thing’s keeping me going.” I read the note before passing it back “That’s not mine.”
“Where’s all the hugging and screaming.”
“I don’t do that. I’ve never hugged someone before or screamed.” I turned around and crossed over, this time making it all the way over. “Nice meeting You Mr.” I shouted as loud as I could and waved. I had just met Frank Iero… Even though he was meant to be in America… I carried on walking home but when I got to the porch I heard a loud sound that didn’t seem to good. Once again I turned around and found my self walking back to the park where I had met Frank Iero. I sat on the bench and stared down on the floor.
I’d rather be homeless forever than go back there. I was planning to run tonight but I didn’t know how. Well I had a plan I was just scared that it wouldn’t work out. It didn’t for my mom. When my mom escaped she got shot and ran over and I witnessed it all.
“Hi again.” I heard a voice speak. I looked up seeing Frank and Gerard.
“You know her?” Gerard asked, shifting his weight onto one foot.
“I spoke to her before. I thought You we’re going home?”
“Um…” I stood up and walked around the bench. “Well its nice seeing You Mr Iero, Mr Way I better go… again.”
“Mr…Iero?” Gerard sounded a bit miffed.
“Its rude to call You Gerard or Frank If I don’t know You or have Permission to call You so.”
“Where did You hear that?”
“My grandmother told me” I confessed and looked at them.
“How old are you?” This is embarrassing…
“19” I admitted and blushed.
“You look older? And thinner”
“I do?” They nodded.
“So You a big fan of MCR?”
“You’re the only thing keeping me going.” I mumbled and sat back down on the bench. “I bet You hear that all the time but this is no lie. With out You and Your music I would be dead and this is no exaggeration” Gerard and Frank looked at each for a second. I hoped that there wasn’t going to be a Frerard moment since the stare went on for over two minutes.
“Wanna’ hang out with us?”
“Sure.” I stood up. “Look’s like the rain is getting worse.”
“Your soaked through…” Gerard said and stated taking off his jacket.
“I’m Iris”
“Like the flower?”
“Um, I guess so”
“Come on before we catch our death. Also Mikey will be wondering where we’ll be.” Frank said and started walking across the park. Me and Gerard followed with out a word but every time I sneezed or sniffled I felt his gaze on me. The grass was a fresh green colour and the concrete was darkened by the rain. The smell of wet tree’s filled the air and it reminded me of good time in life before my dad started drinking. I did realized when we got to a car that we had all stopped.
“Umm… Wanna come round for a while?”
“Won’t Your parents be worried?”
“No, they won’t be.” I automatically said, hoping that no questions were asked.
“Mikey, Ray this is Iris. She’s a fan.”
“We’re hanging around a fan? Awesome!” I heard Ray say with a sound of pleasure in his voice. I looked up and smiled before dropping it. Frank opened the car door and paused.
“We haven’t got all day.”
“Oh!” I said in surprise before getting in. The car was beautiful and smelt like coffee and cup cakes. This is SO MCR Car.
“Did You get coffee?” Gerard asked as his slid inside, sitting next to me. Ray turned around and passed Gerard a Starbucks coffee and also passed one to Frank.
“We ready kids?”
“Yep” Ray turned back around and started the car before driving down the road in the rain.
Then it hit me
I was in a car with My Hero’s
I was sitting next to Gerard Way
I was sitting with My Chemical Romance
I felt dizzy and Passed out.
