Harley-

"Stupid bitch!" Kyle shouts, kicking me once more in my ribs. Once again I was getting my ass kicked by the neighborhood bully.

I kind of deserved it though. I threw a rock in his window that had a firecracker attached to it. I only did that because he killed my puppy...

He had beaten me pretty badly and I'm pretty sure I had a few broken ribs. "Stay the hell away from my house next time, dumbass!"

He spat. I just laid there coughing up blood. He turned on his heel and left. Fucking finally! I slowly stood up and limped back home.

My face a mixture of blood and tears. But the tears weren't from the beating. It was from the fact that Kyle killed my six week old rottweiler..

I sat in my bedroom and held his collar. It was a grey collar with a name tag in the shape of a bone. The name Gerard was carved into it.

I named my puppy after Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance. My fucking hero. My Chemical Romance was everything to me.

They're the reason I'm still alive! I curled up on a bed with the collar and cried myself to sleep. I woke up to a loud crack of thunder.

I looked at the time to see it was three in the morning. I sat up but quickly hunched over when a wave of pain shot through me.

Fuck! My ribs! Kyle really did break a few. Once the pain subsided, I walked over to my computer. My tv was hooked up to it.

I went on YouTube and put on the song Welcome To The Black Parade. I've never felt more satisfied over a piano riff.

"When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said 'son when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?'"

I sang along quietly with Gerard. This song was just so damn beautiful! I had to whisper sing because my parents were sleeping.

During the middle of the song, a deafening crack of thunder roared through the sky's causing a power outage. My computer began to spark and electrocuted me!

The force pushed me back and I hit my back against the wall. My door burst opened and both of my parents stood there with angry expressions.

"Damn it, Harley! It's three in the fucking morning!" My mom shouted. My body was shaking from the electric shock.

My dad rushed over to me, picked me up by my hair and pinned me to the wall. "You're gonna pay for waking us up!" He spat.

"Honey, please!" My mom begged. "Shut up! She needs to learn her lesson for waking us up!" My dad shouted. He slapped me hard across the face.

I fell down from the force of his slap. He then kicked me in my broken ribs. I bit my tongue so I wouldn't scream. "That's enough, damn it!" My mom shouted, pulling my dad away.

"I think she gets it! Let's just go back to sleep." She said calmly. My dad nodded and they both left. I sat there crying.

I got up and walked over to my computer which oddly was still on. The music video had paused at Gerard holding out his hand.

Weird. I don't remember this part of the song... It wasn't the same scene when he's on the little TV either.

It's whatever. I reached under my keyboard where my razor was. I looked at the computer with tears eyes. It seemed like Gerard's expression changed.

He now looked sad. I shook my head and brushed it off as me seeing things. "I'm sorry.... I can't do this anymore! I just want to be dead!"

I sobbed. I rolled up my sleeve to my Batman shirt and pressed the razor to my wrist. Before I could move my hand, I felt something grab my other wrist.

I looked to see a gloved hand. I followed it and see that Gerard Way was reaching through my flatscreen and grabbing a hold of me!

"Don't do it...! You're too beautiful to be doing this to your body!" He said. I couldn't believe what was happening! This can't be real!

I dropped my razor from shock. I didn't take notice when Gerard reached over and touched my face. He wiped away my tears.

His hand then lowered to the collar of my shirt and gripped it tightly. I didn't have enough time to react because he pulled me forward and through the screen!

Everything went black after that....
