Gerard’s POV:

“Gerard?” Leda called and I looked over my shoulder, I couldn’t see her in the kitchen so I headed in.

 “Where’s Leda?” I asked the girls who shrugged and pointed toward the front of the house, I nodded and walked to where Leda was standing at the front door. “What’s up sweetheart?”

I looked to see a teenage girl with purple hair and a cat cage standing there, “Oh hey Gerard, it’s nice to finally meet my big brother.” She muttered and I stared. What the fuck was she talking about? I had no sisters, I only had a brother and she was at least five years younger than Mikey!

The girl looked between Leda and I and sighed loudly, “So it seems our dad didn’t tell you about me? Wanna hear the story?”

 I swallowed, was she just some crazy ass fan? “Uh… Sure.”

She put down the cat cage, “Hmm… Where to start… Well, eighteen years ago your parents had a split that lasted four years. In those four years your dad met my mom and they made me, he stuck around until I was three before going back to your mom and obviously never telling anyone I existed.” She shrugged, “Oh, my name is Emma by the way and I’m here because my mom got pissy with me and kicked me out- she also told me some stories about how I apparently had some wealthy half brothers so I tracked you down.” She shrugged.

I stood there with wide eyes, Leda looked even more confused- she was right though, my mom and dad had separated when I was in elementary school and gotten back together a few years back. Leda was the first to speak, “Uh… Do you want to come in? I’ll help you with that…” She mumbled and helped Emma with her suitcase while I was just dumbfounded.

Mikey’s POV:

  I headed in a while after Gee and headed to the living room and paused when I saw some stranger with him and Leda… And a cat cage.

She had purple hair and was only young. “Uh… Hi?”

   “Oh… Mikey, this is… Emma, she is um… She’s apparently our half sister…” Gerard stuttered and I just stared and gave him an ‘stop kidding Gee’ look. But then I saw he wasn’t kidding.

   “Wait? What the fuck? She can’t be our half sister, mom and dad have always been together.” I muttered and looked to the girl who looked nothing like either of us. She had crystal blue eyes and a totally different face, the closest thing to me was her thin and tall build- but Poppy had that and we were most certainly not related.

   “Mikey…” Gerard mumbled and walked to me, he pulled me to the side a little. “Mikes, mom and dad split up eighteen years ago, you were too young to remember and then they got back together after four years and… Emma said dad got with her mom in those four years.” Gerard shrugged and I shook my head. No fucking way we had a sister. I shook my head with a frown before looking back at the purple haired girl and storming out the front door.

Emma’s POV:

  I had been around for an hour or so now and I felt a bit like I was intruding but at the same time I kept thinking about this as my new family. Even though I doubted any of them would accept me, this was actually my family.

Mikey seemed worse off than anyone and his- I don’t know, a girl called Poppy rushed after him. There was a backyard full of kids, a tattooed midget, afro wielder, red head and a girl with big green eyes.

Gerard seemed pretty distant and a little shocked so I was glad there was Leda who I was sure was Gerard’s wife, she was friendly and pregnant.

   “So… Are you here just to see Gerard and Mikey, or are you… Planning on staying?” Leda wondered and looked at Gerard who was sitting next to her on the sofa.

   “I would appreciate a place to stay for a bit.” I shrugged and Leda nodded.

   “We have a spare room that you can stay in for a few nights-”

   “Are you sure we’re related?” Gerard shoved in and I arched an eyebrow.

   “Your name is Gerard Arthur Way, you have a brother called Michael James Way and your parents split for four years. My mom’s name is Kelly-”

I didn’t get to finish before Gerard cursed, “I used to hear dad talking to mom about a woman called Kelly… Fuck me.” He muttered and shook his head. I guess I could see why he was questioning it so much, we had almost no similarities.

Leda nodded, “Umm… Here, I’ll show you to the guest room.” She mumbled and I nodded, she stood and I grabbed my cat cage- it had my cat, Bendigo Misha, in it. Gerard stood too and grabbed my suitcase for me before we all headed to another part of the house and Leda stopped at the door to a yellow painted room with a few boxes in the corner and a little bed.

Leda and Gerard left me to unpack but I could hear them whispering in another room, I let Bendigo Misha out and she meowed and stretched out in a cute way before sitting under the window where the sun came in and she started licking her paw. Lucky she was a good cat.

 I heard a little noise and turned to see a girl with red hair leaning against the door frame, she narrowed her eyes at me. “Are you some con artist or are you the real deal?” She questioned.

   “Not that it’s any of your business but I am no co, I am related to Gerard and Mikey whether we like it or not.” I shrugged and pulled out a stack of the CDs I’d brought.

The red head nodded slowly, “Maybe you aren’t a con artist but you sure are stirring up some shit. This family just settled down so you’d better behave for everyone’s sakes… Especially Mikey’s.” She kept her eyes on me and I nodded.

     “Why?” I stacked some Panic! At The Disco, Paramore and Fall Out Boy CDs against the wall.

    “Because an old friend just came back into our lives and Mikey found out some big news… So, a My Chem fan?” She wondered and a little smile hit her lips.

I frowned, I had one CD from the band that was supposed to be from New Jersey. I’d listened to it a bit but not much, it was Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. “I guess… They are okay.” I muttered. “Why? Are you into them?” I asked.

  The red head looked like she was about to piss herself laughing, “Sure… I’m a bit of a groupie I guess you could say, been to a few shoes, met the guys… Shagged the guitarist…”

I looked up with wide eyes, “What?” I questioned and instantly opened the booklet to look for the pictures of the guitarist- on the back there was some writing and five pictures. I looked over them, “Which one is the-” I stopped before laughing, “Man, one of these dudes looks just like…” I looked to the red head who looked expectant and my face dropped but my eyes went wide and she nodded.

Fuck.
