Why me? (MCR)

Chapter 19

*WARNING: HUGE SURPRISE AHEAD*
Gerard's p.o.v.
I had my arm around Jade's shoulder as she prepared herself to tell Siren about.... About her "problem." She sighed nervously before she began the story of it. I snuck a glance at Siren who kept her expression blank. I hope this doesn't end badly or Jade will be so fucking hurt and I can't stand seeing her hurt.

As I sat here listening as she explained her story, I realized how strong and brave she is. And also how lucky I am. But she began saying some things she didn't say earlier, how she'd self harmed after her parents died. I pulled her closer, still listening as I came to a shocking realization: I helped her through a lot of this stuff. Meaning I was one of the reasons why she stopped self harming. That was unexpected, but it felt good to know I'd helped. (Btw she admitted this, I'm not being a stuck up jerk 😋)

As she finished explaining, she looked up nervously at Siren. I noticed Frank do the same, wondering if he and his sister were fixing to be heartbroken. She turned to Frank first, "Why didn't you tell me? I've kept no secrets from you. Sure, some of the more personal ones yes, but a majority of the things I needed you to know, I told. You didn't think I needed to know my best friend did this?"

I can tell this isn't going to end well, so I grabbed Jade's hand, gently squeezing it. "Siren, it wasn't my place to tell you. If she wanted you to know, she would've told you. That's her decision, not mine." I could tell he was nervous, but when it came to his sister, he'd always have her back. Always.

"Oh so you figured that if she were to end it all I wouldn't deserve to know until after she was gone?" I was shocked at this sudden change..... This isn't Siren. It can't be. "Chill the fuck out, that's not what h-" she turned her glare on be. "Shut up jackass." My eyes widened, no way was she gonna talk to me and my sorta-family like this.

"No, I won't. You're getting mad at Jade, your best friend, and Frank, your boyfriend. Maybe she should've told you sooner, but she was afraid this would happen. So afraid of not being accepted by you after all this time. Don't get mad at either one of them, it was her decision to tell you, and Frank's right, she should've been the one to tell you. So shut up for at least one minute and try to be understanding."

She sat there for a second before looking at us apologetically. "You're right Gerard, I shouldn't be getting mad. I'm sorry you guys, I don't know what came over me. I swear that wasn't even me.... Almost like I was possessed. I had no control whatsoever." Jade looked up at me, a weird feeling spreading through the room. "I.. I think we need to get outta here." Frank said, adding, "It's not safe here anymore."

So with that, they basically just picked up and left. Thankfully, they had been thinking of moving out months ago and apparently they'd already bought a house. I rode with Jade as she followed Frank and Siren in his truck. I was amazed at how they'd just picked up and left. "This isn't the first time that's happened." I glanced at her in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, we've been acting like this lately with no explanation. It's like the thing just decided to take over. It actually made me almost kill Frank then myself. I somehow managed to stop it, just curling up in a ball beside Frank's bed on the floor."

I frowned, "It's a good thing you left that place then." She nodded, "That's what made the final decision to move."

As time went on, I noticed things were getting more familiar. When she turned onto my street, I realized she might be taking me home first. No. She was... She was following Frank's truck down the driveway of the house next door to mine. Like, literally the house right next to mine.

"You didn't tell me you were gonna be my new neighbor!" She shrugged, "This is the first I've heard of it." I smirked and hugged her, "Now I can come bother you whenever I want to." She groaned, "Great that's gonna be loads of fun." I laughed, "Shut up, you know you'd be upset if I didn't."

She agreed with a shrug and as I called Mom and told her everything that happened, I also said I was staying here. "Alright... See you in the morning I guess. Love you Gerard."

"Love you too Mom. Bye." After we hung up, Jade walked in, "You staying?" I nodded, "Yeah I just got through telling Mom." She came over and sat in the bed next to me before laying down. I did the same, turning over to face a half asleep Jade. "Night Gee -yawn- I love you."

I smiled, " Night Jade, love you too." After a few minutes, she fell asleep and as I lay there thinking, I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I want to marry Jade.

-next morning-

I woke up, remembering my realization from last night. I still had my arm around Jade's waist, who was still asleep. I really had to shower so I carefully got up without waking her up and snuck out, managing to sneak in my own house. I snuck back out then back in to their house. Too many sneak in/sneak outs.

Either way, I returned with new clothes to change into and took a quick shower. I returned, my black hair still dripping slightly. I found Frank up and dressed downstairs, so I figured I'd better ask now and get it over with. "Hey Frank."

"Hey Gerard," he replied, seeming drained. I smiled sadly, "Im sorry about what I said to Siren last night. I didn't mean to be so harsh." He shook his head, "Don't apologize... That wasn't really her. That house was possessed. She understands why you said that. Even if she wasn't possessed then I wouldn't be mad if you said that. You were standing up for Jade."

I smiled but then remembered why I came to talk to him in the first place. "Um, Frank?" He looked at me questioningly, so I continued. "Speaking of Jade... I uh... I.." Damn I can't even say it. He smirked, "You uh... Wanna marry my sister?"

I felt my face turn red, "Uhm... Yeah." He laughed, "Go ahead, I wouldn't want her with anyone else. Plus it means I get to annoy you a lot more on and off tour." I groaned, "Oh gosh that's gone be the worst thing of my life!" Teasing, of course. He smirked, "You bet."

Told you a big surprise. I can't hardly type right this morning. If there's anything wrong, that's probably why and I'll fix it ASAP. Anyway, half of this is probably autocorrect so... Sorry! Bai!
Trust me
