Adopted by Fall Out Boy

Chapter 18: Girl That You Love

"What!" That was the only thing I could think of in this moment. In the span of two days, I found out about two relatives.

"How is that possible?" Grayson asks. "Why didn't we go live with you?"

"Your mother and father, my brother, had Grayson when they were 17. Your mom's family didn't agree with the teenage pregnancy so they were forced to give Grayson up for adoption. They moved from Texas to Baltimore and got an apartment. I lost contact with my brother for about a year. Parker was born 3 years later. I was there when both of you were born. And when Hannah died of cancer, James made it clear to follow her instructions on how Parker was to be raised by her sister. And when I was 19 I tried to adopt Grayson, but he had already been adopted by then. " He finished his story.

I was in shock. I did the only thing that felt appropriate. I hugged him. Grayson followed me. Jared bent down to hug us. I don't know how long we were like that but I heard cameras going off. We pull away and Jared wipes his tears laughing.

"We have a panel. We'll meet up later, Yeah?" Jensen asks. I nod. We walk out and join Pete and Andy outside of the room.

"Hi. " Grant Gustin says to me. "You must be Parker." I turn beet red. Oh did I mention Grant is my Man Crush Everyday? Talking isn't really an option in this moment.

"Aww does Parker have a crush?" Grayson nudges me. Grant smirks slightly.

"No-I - It's just... lets go." I give up. "You're are being mean. " I turn to the laughing males. Grant gives me a hug. "It's ok. " He takes the Flash SnapBack off and puts it on my head. "Thank you. "

"I have a interview. See you later. " Grant leaves and I slap Grayson's shoulder. "Rude. "

He just laughs and Jasper, Gray and Andy go one way and Pete and I go the other. We go to a bunch of different panels and take pictures with different cosplayers. We met Ricky Whittle, Eliza Taylor, Bob Morley, and Devon Bostick from the 100. We went to the Arrow photo shoot and got pictures with the cast. Stephen picked me up on his back and Emily complimented my eyes. I met Richard Speight Jr. and Mark Sheppard while waiting for Pete to come out of the bathroom.

Four hours later, we leave the convention early. The guys have a concert tonight and we have to do soundcheck. We meet up Andy, Jasper, and Gray at the back of the convention center where the bus is parked. The celebrities I met today followed me on the social medias and some of them gave me their numbers. Once at the venue, we changed out of our cosplay and into regular clothes. The concert was fun, it ended about 45 minutes ago. The guys were doing... well I don't actually know. Jasper and Grayson were exploring the venue. I am currently playing Monopoly on the empty stage with Zack and Marcus. Yes, I know, best bodyguards in the world.

Zack was currently winning; he owned an entire street and all the utilities. I was close in second with 3 railroads and most of the street with the red and yellow spots. Marcus was last with scattered properties and has already been accused of cheating twice. So it's a pretty good game so far, no ended friendships... yet.

"Parker!" A voice called from behind me. Dad's voice broke the argument with me and Zack. The rule book was about to come out.

"Yeah, dad?" I turn toward him. "Come on. We're about to go. "

I quickly help the two men playing the game with me put it away. I get up and follow dad out the back stage door and to the bus. Gabe runs up to me and jumps around my feet. He's growing so fast. He's almost 2 months old. I give him a quick back rub before heading to the back of the bus. I pull out my Nintendo 3DS and play Super Mario Bros.

I get a through a good portion of the game when everyone starts heading to bed. I decide to hit the hay as well. I wait for Grayson to come out of the bathroom before I go into it. There isn't really that much room in here, but what did you expect? I quickly go through my night routine before slipping on a shirt and shorts and putting my hair up. I tell everyone on the bus goodnight before I retreat to my bunk. Gabriel lays in the space my feet can't reach. Before I can get to sleep, however, my phone buzzes.

Jared: hey Parker, you're probably asleep but I wanted to ask if you'd like to meet your cousins

Me: i'm about to sleep. But aren't they in Canada?

Jared: yes, but you could FaceTime them if I gave you Gen's number or you could meet in person if you come to Canada.

Me: I'd like that a lot

Jared: Good Night Munchkin

Me: Good Night Moose

With that I slowly drift into dream land.

~Time Skip to The End of Tour~

After months of touring, it's finally time to go home. The last show was a hometown show in Chicago. It was a little sad. Who knows when I'll see Panic! or All Time Low again. I've spent my entire summer with them, and now suddenly they're gone. We're back alone in our house, a huge difference from the tour bus. It's serenity compared to the chaos of tour. And to make it worse, my 5th grade year is coming up. And I have to go to a different school because my old one had a fire over the summer and burnt down. It's gonna be harder with more work and me being the new kid. I'm going to a K-5 elementary school while Grayson will go to a 6-8 middle school. But at least Jasper is going with me so I won't be completely alone.

Dad says I need more girl friends. Maybe he's right, but I haven't found any cool ones at my school. They're all obsessed with Justin Bieber or 5 Seconds of Summer or that Jacob guy. We'll see next week when school starts.

And little did I know, that next week would be the worst of my life.

Hey guys!! Sorry for such a long wait and tomorrow is the Fourth of July so I figured I should update while I have time.

(also today is my crush's birthday so there's that too)
