    A year after graduation came the wedding of Skyler and Vulcan. They said their vows, in of course the emoist of fashion. The two sealed their eternal love with a kiss. Nether of their families attended, only a few ‘friends’, it was a somewhat depressing time, but it was fitting for the emos in love.

Two years have passed since the wedding, and they were on there way to the adoption centre. They were greeted by an old lady with sharp, pointed glasses. She showed them pictures of who they could adopt, then they saw a picture of three children, all with emo fringes. They signed the paperwork, and met the boys for the first time. The kids looked shocked when the found out that someone wanted to have be apart of their family, but when they saw the couple they immediately understood. Skyler asked the children “So are you triplets, or something?” Hunter responded “Yes we are identical, except for our hair, two of us have purple, but Dagger has pink.” The new family made their way to the car. Vulcan drove them all to the the house. The house was a large, brick home, with a huge yard. The parents showed the children their rooms, as well as the rest of the house.

       The kids and Skyler sat in the living room while Vulcan made dinner. Skyler, Hunter and Enzo are sitting on the sofa together, but one child, Dagger is distancing himself from the rest of the family. A month has passed, and the triplets are starting middle school, as it happens it's the same school that their parents once attended. The kids were all in the same classes too.

School finally ended, and the triplets were taking a taxi home, but the taxi driver looked scarily familiar, she was the old lady with the pointed glasses. The driver was swerving a bit, like she was drunk. Then suddenly the car sped up, and completely swerved off the road. The old lady crashed the front end of the car into a bike rack, at that moment Dagger who was only wearing a lap belt, flew out the window onto the road. Dagger was dead, he had always distanced himself from the rest, now he will always be away.  A few days later the funeral was held, they played all of My Chemical Love songs, but since his death a wave of depression washed over the family. Another week has passed, and the family took the accident to court. The old lady was sentenced to life in prison, she now spends her days behind bars.

       The family visited Dagger’s grave at the family site, he was buried beside his grandfather. Two are buried, both similar, but one was lived and didn't believe it, the other no one loved and he loved no one.
