I Think I Just Got Your Family Killed

Chapter 2

Gerards Point Of View

"What... Why... Who..." I stuttered, so confused. Was this girl actually insane or something? I know all girls are moody, but this was.... Something else.

She was back to her normal self in no time, "Well, the creepy guy called. He killed all of my family. So you will be dropping me off so I can get all my stuff. "

She did not trip up at all, her voice was steady and it almost sounded annoyed. Annoyed that her whole family was dead. I swear, this child is heartless. But yet... She hugged my, she shed tears.

"If you are so annoyed that they are dead, then why were you crying?"

She paused slightly, only I noticed, "Well, you see, they did things for me like chores and made breakfast, and gave me money. Who will do that now?"

Maybe I am imagining things, but I am think she was just making up excuses. Whatever, she is not my responsibility. Still, I felt a nag. She was, her family basically died for me. Even though I did not ask for help, I was the reason for their death.

She told me her address and we began to head to her house. On the way she explained exactly what the murderer had said, about changing her looks and such. And of course she also demanded a bunch of things. She even manipulated Ray into massaging her neck.  I must admit, this girl is good. I just sat and watched as she had them tend her every command, like puppies. It was sick.

I really wanted to tell them to stop, but I knew that I would look like the bad guy. After all, her family is dead. For me. I just could not get over the feeling that I was to blame for this.

It only took about two minutes to get to her house. When I saw it I could not believe it, it was the freaking largest house I had ever seen!

 She stood with her hand on her hip and growled at me, "Hey! Would you hurry up? You are slower than molasses. It is so annoying..."

I think I hated her. Not all the way though, somewhere inside me I knew I should not. She is just a girl. Something must have happened to make her this way, right? Or was she just plain mean?

And I really could not leave her like this, no family. 'Everyone deserves a home' I kept telling myself. She has a heart somewhere in there...

It really killed me to say this and I had a lot of trouble spitting out some of the words.

"This is my fault. Really is. You. Can. Stay. With. Us. Just till we find someone to adopt you. Which will be soon. Hopefully very soon." I practically screamed the last sentence.

After saying this I saw something that gave me a bit of hope. I saw pain at first, maybe she really did just want my affection in some twisted way.

Then, she ruined it.

"Duh. Of course you are. This is your fault. You better."

I stomped back on the bus in frustration and screamed for Mikey, the most calm one, to help her gather her things. He went with her without saying a word. D***, I envied his calmness. So rational.

I was not surprised to see him come out in a few minutes, lugging some very heavy looking suitcases by himself. She just skipped to the bus right behind him, seemingly unaware of his struggle with her baggage.
