Meeting Deception (Gerard Way Fanfic)

Chapter Ten

I stared in horror at the two people in the room, starting with my father. This is the same man who was labeled "crazy" by everyone. My mother, the authorities, his friends. The same man I stood up for, even though I knew how delusional he was. The same man who is standing over Lynda, with her tied up. How dare him? How could he? How could he bring me to this orphanage, the orphanage where I was supposed to be left alone? What could he possibly gain out of the traumatic experiences he's given me today, not to mention kidnapping Lynda.
Plus he turned my boyfriend against me. Or did he?

I looked over to Gerard this time. His face read regret but his eyes read nothing. I couldn't see anything in his eyes. It's as if he's just putting that face on to try to make it seem as if he regrets what he did. But if his eyes are reading nothing, then he feels nothing. No happy thoughts, no sad or remorseful thoughts. He doesn't even care.

Gerard is supposed to be my boyfriend, my friend, and he treats me like this? I shouldn't be saying how dare my father, no, how dare Gerard. After I confided in him, told him things not even Lynda knows, and he used it against me. He was plotting with my father the entire time. Because let's face it, who would ever want to be with me, with no catch? I'm counting down the days for Lynda to leave me too, just like everyone else. But Gerard of all people, someone I felt I've known my entire life, and when we do meet, he does this.

I finally realized I can't trust anyone. Nobody at all, they'll just hurt me and leave me for dead. That's how my dad knew to kidnap Lynda, him and Gerard were working together all along. But what could he possibly want, that would make him want to do this to me, to Lynda?

I stared into Lynda's eyes. Her eyes were actually filled with emotions, she was on the verge of tears. Why? Is it because She's scared, or is it because I'm actually here? Did she not think I'd come to save her? I mean she text me, to make me worry out of my mind and have to do something about it. I had to save her, she's saved me so many times.

I looked over to my father again. He had a revolting devilish smile on his face. I wanted to wipe straight off his face by punching him, or ripping his thinning hair out, or just telling him off. I wanted him to feel something equivalent to the pain that I've been feeling for nine years, nine years without an actual father, but ten for no mother, nine years of feeling alone and hopeless, nine years of depending on a random girl that found me behind a dumpster. Woe to me, I'm the most pitiful person ever. And my dad doesn't even want to help, he just wants to torture me like this. And those are the precise reasons I want to give him pain.

I was so lost in thought, even though it wasn't long since I had entered the room. My father broke my train of thought anyway.

"Did you miss me?" he asked in a sly voice that made me cringe. He hasn't changed at all. Not one bit.

My eyes narrowed at him, "As if," I spat.

He looked taken aback as I replied. In all honesty, I was too. Even though he put me through crap all these years I still missed him, I still love him. But I didn't want him to know that.

After he pulled himself together, he put a smug look on his face.

"Oh, I'm wounded," he sighed, "don't you want to see me?" he asked.

"Not like this," I whispered. He just laughed maniacally. I was so shocked, you'd think that crazy people would act more normal, and not laugh so scary like you'd see on television. I mean I knew he had always been mad, but not like this. And if he said I'm just like him, what if I end up acting like him? What if I'm schizophrenic?

I looked at Gerard. What would he think if I actually turned into my father? No, screw it. He doesn't even matter anymore, and as far as I'm concerned, he's dead to me. I've realized, that's how he knew my name in the first place. Because him and my father have been planning this whole thing, Gerard found out my name from my dad when we had first met. I narrowed my eyes at him. All this time he was supposed to be on my side, but he's just been a liar. How was my dad even able to contact a celebrity like Gerard Way? What could he have possibly said to Gerard to make him want to help him kidnap Lynda and torture me in the process?
