Adopted By Frerard ♡

So Many Times I've Lied

It's been about three months since Gerard and Frank told me I can't hang out with the only friends that I have. It's winter break now, and we are on our way to Ray and Mikey's place for Christmas. My dads told me that they have a huge surprise for me.

When we get there, I'm very nervous because I've never fully met Mikey and Ray. Frank walks right in. Though Gerard notices my nerves and stays back with me. "They'll love you, Mel. Trust me. It's okay."

"But what if they don't, dad? What if I'm just another disappointment?"

"Oh come on, Mel. If they could, they would adopt you. You're like their-"

"GEE!" I hear a man yell. Oh God. Gerard breaks free from our hug, and runs towards the voice.

"MOIKAYYYY!!" Gerard yells. They hug, then Mikey turns his attention to me. Oh shit.

"You must be Mel. Frank told us so much about you when he ran into our house as if it was his," Mikey jokes.

"Yeah, I'm Mel. Wait, why are you being so nice to me?" I ask, confused.

"Because you're like my niece. And you're super cool. I heard from Frank that you like My Chemical Romance?" I nod, and then we go in to the house.

It's my turn to open my presents, so naturally, I pick the biggest one. It turns out to be an electric guitar from Mikey and Ray! It's all red with black roses on it. "Are you going to name her?" I hear Frank ask.

"Yeah. Her name's Rosina," I state confidently. After I open all my presents, I'm surrounded by Rosina, a speaker for Rosina, also from Mikey and Ray, and from my dads, a hundred dollar gift card to Hot Topic. Gerard disappears into the kitchen for a second, then come out holding an envelope. "What's that?" I ask.

"Take a look and see." It seems that Ray, Mikey, and Frank know what's in it.

"Okay," I say, dragging out the 'ay'. I open it, and read it. I sit there in shock, and read it again. "OH MY GOD! I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!" I shriek with joy. They adopted me! They laugh, and pull me into a hug. When they release me, I do some sort of happy dance. "I HAVE PARENTS! THIS IS AMAZING!" I scream, tears seeping from my eyes. "I've got to tell my friends!" Oops. Gerard and Frank look at me.

"You're still friends with the Winchester's? What did we tell you about them, Melanie?" Frank says, his voice rising every word.

"But guys don't you see? Do you even notice how much happier I am with them? Remember how depressed I was when you first took me into foster? And now look." I wave my hands dramatically. "You just don't understand!" I cry, running up the guest room where I'm staying.

Mikey's POV

I watch Mel run upstairs in tears. I look at Gerard, enraged by his actions. "Are you insane, Gerard? Why would you tear her away from her friends? No matter how weird they are, do you really think that that's the best for her? I would never tear you away from you're friends!" I shout at him and run upstairs to see Mel.

I knock on the door. No answer. I knock again. "Mel? Mel, are you okay?" Again, no answer. I open the door, and to my horror, she's lying unconscious on the floor. Her wrist is bleeding. "MEL!" I scoop her up bridal style, and run downstairs.

Gerard' S POV

I see Mikey run downstairs with Mel in her arms. "QUICK! CALL AN AMBULANCE!" He yells frantically. Frank does so, and I kneel next to Mel.

"Please wake up. Please, Mel. Please." I start to cry. Seconds later, paramedics come rushing in, taking Mel away. I follow, but Mikey grabs my arm. "What are you doing!? Let me go with my daughter!" I scream, fighting against Mikey's grip.

MEL'S POV

I wake up to a blinding light. Turning my head to avoid it the best I can, I see my friends, and dads. "She's awake!" Anna announces as she notices my grimace towards the light. Within seconds, my dads are at my side, sobbing. I start to cry as well.

"We thought we lost you, Mel. We're so sorry," Frank musters out through tears.

"We're sorry we tried to tear you from your friends," Gerard manages.

FLASHBACK
"You just don't understand!" I cry, running up to the guest room where I'm staying. I slam the door shut and collapse. How could they do this. I bolt up, and start digging through my suitcase until I come across my sleeping pills.

I go into the connected bathroom and take apart the razor that Mikey and Ray keep in there. I walk back out and sit on the floor. I pour out a hand full of pills. I put them all in my mouth and wash them down with a quick swig of water. I then take the razor and start cutting up my wrist. I hear a knock at my door. Then everything went black.
END FLASHBACK

"Please don't do that again, Mel. You have no idea how much we would miss you," Gerard says, Frank nodding in agreement.

"I won't," I reply.

"Promise?" They say in unison.

"Promise."
