Adopted (a Fall Out Boy/Pete Wentz fan fic)

Chapter 20

Brandie's pov

We were all showered and stuff and hanging out in the loft. We needed to leave soon. I stood up and sighed,

"Guys. I'm leaving Tuesday morning. But I'll have the weekends off. Everyone in a month from now. Every month this weekend. We all come up here. I'll fly out so we can see each other. Deal?"

Patrick hugged me as did Pete and everyone else smiling, "Deal." Maybe this won't be so bad. Who am I kidding. It is gonna be really bad. I buried my face in the crook of Patrick's neck and he kept an arm around my waist. Pete kept and arm around my shoulder. Tears escaped my eyes and Patrick kissed the top of my head.

I held him and Pete closer whispering, "I don't wanna go."

Pete held me closer asking, "Then why are you?"

Should I tell him the real reason? No. I don't wanna mess up his relationship with Ashlee. He really loves her. I looked down saying,

"I don't wanna let my grandparents down. Or my dad." That was such a huge ass lie.

Pete hugged me and Patrick gave me a knowing look. Shit. He knows I'm lying. I wiped my tears away before smiling, "We should get going. I need to pack. And I'm sure Pete misses Ashlee."

Pete nudged me saying, "Shut up." I smiled and walked past everyone and climbed down the ladder.

I walked to my room and shut the door. I made sure all of my dad's stuff was hidden again before I made sure I had everything. I grabbed my back pack and put on my hoodie. Once I was sure I had a key I met everyone downstairs. They all went out ahead of me and I stood in the living room. All the windows and doors were locked. I closed my eyes felt a cool breeze. I wrapped my arms around my chest and I heard a smooth deep voice that I haven't heard in almost 5 years say,

"Hey Brandie Candy."
