Promise?

Jayden's POV

Today was the day.

Today was the day I got to go on stage and play. At a live concert. For My Chemical Romance.

Of course, it has always been a dream in the past for me. But now, it's becoming a reality. The feeling it gives me is to good to be true. I will be playing my favorite album with my favorite people in front of thousands of people. Never did I like reminding myself of my fears, but I got over them quickly once Ray and Frank reassured me that they will help me if I feel panicked or something is going wrong. They made me feel safe when I can't do it myself. They always did, but today will be different, because I will be like one of them. Playing for their fans.

Knock, knock

I turned towards the locked bathroom door and quickly gave a response. "Who is it?" I heard a shuffle from the outside and a cough. "Umm.... I-its Gee." My heart sank. I haven't talked to him since what happened yesterday. "Jayden?" I stood their frozen. I didn't bother to answer his worried calls of my name. I needed to think over what I was going to do. By the sound of his voice he is obviously sober so he wouldn't make any dumbass​ decisions anymore. What do I say to him? Do I ignore him? I shouldn't, but I just don't know....

"Jayden! Are you alright?" I heard the panic in his voice. I heard sniffing on the other side. "I'm so so sorry for what I d-did. I would never intentionally hurt you, I hope you know that. So please, forgive me."

My palms were sweaty and leaving my knees feeling like they would give up on me anytime soon. I slowly reached my fingers to the doorknob and laced them around the cold brass. I opened the door to Gerard leaning on the opposite wall, crying lightly. He was mumbling 'Im sorry' over and over again. I just stood their, watching my father cry in front of me. I didn't leave me feeling any better about myself, not approaching him in anyway saying, 'Its okay, Dad.' Not helping him or myself get better with this situation. I felt something wet on my face and realized I was now crying as well. I tried to cough as lightly as I could without him noticing, but he turned around to the sudden sound of noise. He stared at me with wide, glossy eyes. Gerard was still up against the wall, now even more emotional then when he wasn't​ staring at me.

"O-oh my gosh, Jayden I-I'm so so so sorry. I didn't actually think you w-would come out." His emotions were too overwhelming for me. I couldn't see him like this, even if I did still dislike him a little bit. I felt tears approaching my eyes and my vision was getting blurry.

"I wasn't planning on..." I let out a small giggle. "But, I couldn't see you like this. I can't have this be our father-daughter relationship." I sniffed, tears were rolling down my cheeks. He took small steps towards me, like he was hesitant. If he was asking for a hug, I wasn't going to deny it. I stepped towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He gasped with the sudden contact and didn't hug me back until he finally said, "I'm so so sorry, Jayden. Oh my gosh... I'm sorry." We stayed like that for a while, while I was listening to Gee cry in my shoulder. I didn't care, as long as I had the best family relationship back.

Once we both stopped crying, I let go of the hug and pushed him back so my hands were on his shoulders. I looked into his green eyes with speckled blue in some places that reminded me of an endless ocean.

"D-dad," my words stumbled to get out. "Do you promise me, that no matter what, you will never do that again?" Gerard immediately shook his head yes. "I would never do anything like that again. I was so stupid to treat you like that after your past. I love you, and I promise."

He said he loved me.

My father said he loved me.

My old dad never said that, and if he did, it was always when other people were around. But he never meant it. This time feels different. Something inside of me has been brought to life again. It's like my whole heart is being replaced with one that I always should have had, but never did.

I grabbed Gerard into a hug but this time, way more passionate and meaningful. He meant so much to me, but I don't think he knows how much. He saved me life from being stuck in that hell hole of an adoption house. He saved my life from my dad and Beverly with his music. He helped my life become a better one. To actually live and have fun and not to live just to suffer all the pain.

"I love you too, dad."

We heard whispers from the bunks and we both looked at each other. 'Who could it be?' Gerard mouthed. I listened closely and recognized the voice as Mikey's. He was talking to someone across from his bunk, Frank. I got Gerard's attention and pointed over to Mikey and Frank's bunks. "I think they heard us..." I whispered into my dad's ear. "Well let's get them." He whispered back. I looked over at his face and he winked at me. I held my laugh in and we both tip-toed over to a door that was behind the bunks. We kneeled down and we're listening in on their conversation.

F is Frank and M is Mikey

F: How do you think they made up?
M: I don't know, but I'm glad they did.
F: Yeah, but do you feel bad for eavesdropping?
M: I should, but I don't really.

Me and Gerard looked at each other stunned. "I will get Mikey, you get Frank." I whispered. He nodded and I got to countdown with my skinny fingers. One, two, three!

I jumped onto Mikey's bunk and attached myself onto him. He let out a scared yelp and looked up to realize it was me. I laughed and looked over to Gerard hovering over Frank.

"Holy shit, Jayden! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Mikey exclaimed. I giggled and gave him a hug, "That's my job." Frank and Gerard were talking seriously about something, me wondering what, I said, "This is supposed to be funny, not an interview." Frank looked over and eyed me and Mikey. His expression changed from serious to smiles. "Sorry, just a little talk, Pansy." The nickname made my cheeks go red, I put my face into Mikey's chest again to hide. I heard Mikey chuckling and he half whisper screamed into my ear, "You so like him."

Maybe Mikey was right.
