Why Me? (Adopted By Them)

Chapter 30 - House Of Gold

Ryan's pov.

Its been a few days since I've been in America. I feel bad, but i need to do it. I need to get away. I really did love her, I promise. I still do.

I've moved to Chicago. I'm kind of homeless and living in a home called the House of Gold. Ironic. Its okay to be there. I have my own room but not very classy for a celebrity. But on this occasion not many people recognize me. I have everything i need, but a job.

I hope Phoenix is okay, I hope they all are.

Phoenix's pov.

I'm not okay and its not alright. ( A/N see what i did there.) Anyway, its been a week since I've had that letter from Ryan. I want us to be okay but its obviously not. I just don't know what to do. I miss him so so much, my heart is aching. Karrie hasn't spoken to me since that incident we had with the strop so I've had to be productive and I've played video games with Brendon when he isn't busy. Patrick has been a little different and we are all worried about him. He needs time to figure out what he truly is.

And for me and Brendon, so far we are okay. We have been speaking a lot. I don't know if he likes me still but I don't know anymore. Matt and Taylor visit a few times. I've seen them twice this week, they're so sweet. Beth has popped in, I saw her yesterday actually and next year we will start talking about our band. Once me and Karrie go on tour with Fall Out Boy and Panic!. I just wish this never happened. I still want that hair dye and that ice cream. But me being me, sunlight hurts. Joking but outside is a dangerous place. Why go out there when I have most of the things I need in my home. Safe and comfortable. Or I could come out and say I'm a lazy shit. Which is true. Brendon and Patrick got me an amazing gift yesterday. I've waited for ages for Brendon, Patrick and Karrie to come to the living room and play it with me. It's a game Ive dreamed of since it was told it was going to be releasing soon. Okay it's Guitar Hero Live. The set list is amazing!! It has panic on it and fob on it and mcr on it and adtr and paramore and bmth and om&m yeah okay I'll stop you get it, it's amazing haha. This will be the first time me and Karrie will speak. Oh god.
I wait a few more minutes before getting up from the sofa, it's cold now. I had my warm covers on me. I walk into the kitchen wearing a Stitch onesie because stitch is Bae! I make a coffee and grab a pop tart from the cupboard. I pop it in the toaster and jump when it pops back out a minute later. I put it on a plate and carry that and my coffee into the living room. When I walk in Brendon and Karrie are having a conversation. I sit down and place my coffee on the table taking a bite from my pop tart.
"Morning." Brendon says to me.
"Morning. Well is it actually classed as morning? Because I've been waiting for what feels like 5 days now to play this game. Oh hey Patrick. Karrie." I bluntly say her name.
"Look I'm sorry Phoenix! I should never lashes out like that. I love you! Your my sister who I care for a lot! I'm so sorry." She started to cry. I look at Brendon for a minute then Patrick then I get up to hug Karrie.
"It's fine I accept you apology okay. And I didn't know how much our friendship meant to you. You think of me like your sister. That's sweet. I think of you to as one as well! Now let's all shut up and play the game!" I say standing up.
Brendon sets up the game and we start playing it. Of course we play Panic and Fall Out Boy, who do you think we are.

Ryan's pov.
It's been two weeks now and I've found a job at a local music store. Not fun but a few people recognise me from now and then. I think this is for the best. Yeah it is. I found someone new. She is okay I guess. She reminds me of Phoenix sometimes. The way she laughs is just like hers. The way she hugs and kisses me is like the way Phoenix used to. The way she dances, sings and everything reminds me of Phoenix. I still love Phoenix. God I'm such an ass! Yeah I'll go back to her. But fuck I have no money! Give it a year. I'll be back before she knows it.

~2 months later since Ryan left~

Phoenix's pov.
It's been ages and still nothing from Ryan. He has to be taking the piss. Oh well I have my family to look forward to. At least they love me and care about me.
Me, Brendon, Patrick and Karrie sat at our dining table eating dinner when a sudden thought comes into my head.
"Brainstorm right now, in the hospital when I woke up I said how's my brother. No one answered me. Well can you now?" I say to them all.
"Daniel."
I nod. "That is his name yes."
"Well I must say he is in prison."
"What! We must go visit him like now. I need to see my brother. He is my brother. I haven't spoken to him since I was in care and that's ages ago. I can't remember! Please we have to go see him." I plead.
"Fine tomorrow we can. But one thing. Only if you beat me on my own song on guitar hero." Brendon says to me.
"Oh hell yeah I will. I'm a pro at this game. Have you seen me."I say to him.
"Nope, but we will see about that." He says back.
We eat our dinner quickly and turn on the Xbox and Brendon logs on his account and starts the game. He does well missing 2 or 3 notes. Ha loser. I think to myself. Overall he comes out with a pretty good score of 25856.
"Not bad." I say to him.
I press continue on his game and he says.
"Wait who the fuck is sugarinundrr?" Brendon say.
"Oh that's my band good score right!" I laugh.
"Okay don't bother playin this song we will just go anyway."
"You sure. Sweet. Thanks Brendon." I say kissing him. I sit on the sofa turning off the game. Brendon sits next me and I snuggle in to him.
"Film?" I nod and we put on Back To The Future because it's an amazing film and I love Michael. J. Fox. He is a good actor. Maybe life without Ryan won't be so bad. Just give it time.
