Extra long and feelsy for the lateness.

Jessica's P.O.V

"I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter." I sang out in time with the overly loud Linkin Park song, causing Gerard to start rapping the entire verse that followed. After we stopped laughing at our terrible attempt at recreating an amazing song, semi-mature Gerard reminded me that I actually had to make a forced appearance at school in two short days.

"We need to shop for you some more braclets and band tees. There's a Hot Topic litterally 10 minutes from here. We can eat then shop. That sound good?" Gerard asked, obviously knowing my answer.

"Duh. Let's go!" I reply, running upstairs to brush my hair and trek out with Gerard into a store that sells his old band's merchandise.

Of course, Gerard was yelling for me to get my ass downstairs as I was walking out of the bathroom to go downstairs. I then proceeded to go down that massive staircase before pushing the door open and leaping into Gerard's Ford Mustang, taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of the interior of his car. Much unlike my Christian grandfathers car, this car actually had a radio that I was allowed to use and/or abuse the speakers with anything I want.

"You're obviously ready." Gerard laughed before starting the vehicle. I proceeded to pick up the aux cord.

"I don't care as long as you don't put it on a porn website while you are using my aux cord. Please. If you must watch two people explore one another's bodies, at least put on your own headphones." Gerard joked. After I had stopped laughing, I began playing music. The song selection was perfect after the joke Gerard had just made. My phone chose to play Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Off Her Clothes by Panic! at the Disco. (Plz excuse any f-ups in the song title)

*Time passes*

"Alright, we are here. What do you want to eat?" Gerard asked, looking all around the mall's large food court.

"Umm...I don't really care. Whatever you want." I replied, looking at Gerard.

"We'll shop to give us time to think. Then we'll go get whatever we agree on." Gerard declared, taking me by the wrist and leading me to the other end of the gargantuan mall to a store that was playing Pierce the Veil at an extremely loud volume.

I walked into the store with all the knowledge of what was lied before me and going to the far back of the store to find a MCR bag. Gerard's smiling face was implanted on it, along with all the other members who I met just days before.

"Gee? Gee, can I get this?" I asked, awating the reaction. He studied it momentarily before smiling the worlds largest smile and taking me immediatedly to the register.

As soon as we approached the register, Gerard dropped his head, attempting to remain undetected by anyone else, but this seemed different. It was like Gee had just seen someone who hated him. I also noticed that a salty tear was falling down his cheek. Gerard handed me the required money before walking out of the store. I purchased my shirts and quickly exited the store.

"Gerard, whats up? You seem like you just saw someone who bullied you in high school." I dumb-wittingly said to him, walking up to the bench I saw him sitting on.

"Bingo." he replies softly.

"Seriously? Who needs to be hurt?" I ask, looking in the direction of a large kiosk across from his chosen destination to sit.

"Well, well. Who do we have here? Mr. Fat Emo Boy."

"Excuse me, Mr. Douchebag. Lay off my idol." I retorted in Gerard's place.

"Move, girl." he replied, shoving me onto the bench. What happened next is hard to explain, for I have no recollection of doing it.

Gerard's P.O.V

"Move, girl." Micheal said, sneering as he pushed my fierce adoptive daughter backward into a chair. I was certain I was going to be beaten when I looked over and saw Jessica leap up. Before I knew it, Jessica was behind him.

"This is for all those years." Micheal said, prepping a punch when Jessica pulled him by the stomach, swept his legs out from under him, and then began to rapidly punch him. Mall police showed up to break up the fight. I used my "celebrity powers" to get her out of going to a YDC (youth detention center). We walked out to my car before it happened.

"I love you, dad."

OMFG SHE JUST CALLED ME DAD!!!!!

"I love you too, Jessica."

Feelsy chapters. Love it.
