Complications(Adopted by Brendon Urie)

22. "War."

I gawked at Mikey, and he did the same back. I was star struck and he looked completely blown away.
"Holy sh-" Lindsey elbowed him in the side, "hhhizzles?" He cringed at Lindsey and he turned back to me. "That was incredible!" He walked over to me with his arms open, I stood up and gave him a hug.
"Thanks..." I blushed and stepped back from him.
"I have no words..." Gerard had a similar look to Mikey's and hugged me.
"It's not that good, I messed up a few times so it was a bit scuffed." I shrugged and Gerard passed me his phone which had a video of me playing the piano just the minute before on it. I watched it and instead of trying to listen to everything I did wrong I just let myself go and enjoyed the music.

When you're playing any instrument you can't take the time to actually listen to yourself as you're too busy playing the instrument. I'd never recorded myself playing that song, and what I sounded like surprised me. It genuinely sounded like a professional pianist was playing, but it was just me, playing a song I had taught myself in a couple of weeks.
"You are so talented." He smiled down and me and I blushed harder. "And I mean it, you are one of the most talented pianists I've ever heard, did you do lessons?"
"Well I did for a couple years then I quit and started learning songs off of guitar tab websites, sheet music, and YouTube, I taught myself a lot of theory but now Brendon helps me with some of that stuff." I looked up at Mikey, who was still processing what I had just done. "It's really not that incredible..." I smiled at the ground for a second.

Mikey took a step towards Gerard and whispered something into his ear which made him nod vigorously. "We need to get permission to do this, but we want you to record you playing a cover of every single song from 'Welcome to the Black Parade' and maybe the biggest songs from the others, does that sound good?" My eyes widened to what seemed like the size of the moon.
"YES OH MY GOD WHY WOULDN'T I?!" I attempted to jump up and down but he placed his hands on my shoulders to get me to stop, which I thought was a good idea with the cast on my leg.

The four of us had a little laugh and when we finished I noticed Bandit was tugging at Mikey's shirt.
"Uncle Moikey!" She smiled when he effortlessly picked her up and rested her on his hip.
"Hey 'lil B." He kissed her forehead and she giggled. "I'm going to help Annie babysit you tonight while Mum and Dad have their date, we're going to have so much fun, right?" They both looked at me.
"Of course!" I was low key fangirling over hanging out with Bandit and Mikey Way, but managed to keep my composure.

Gerard passed me the blu tack and told me that the picture was on his desk before leaving with Lindsey. Mikey walked over to the drawing and whispered to himself: "How many more talents does this girl have." And I replied with:
"Only one, but I sacrificed all of my redeeming qualities and traits just to be how I am."
"What is it?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Singing, I guess..." I prayed that he wouldn't ask me to sing for him, but unluckily, he did. "What do you want me to sing?" I sighed and he thought for a second.
"Can you do 'I Don't Love You'?" He pursed his lips together and I sat back on the piano stool and started playing.

He stopped me at the bridge and freaked out over how much he loved my take on the song. I noticed Bandit was looking pretty bored and suggested that we put the drawing up in her room. He nodded in agreement and she lead us to her room.

It was hands down the cutest room I have ever seen.

It was the stereotypical 8 year old girl's room, pink and purple were everywhere, on the dresser, bed, walls, desks, and hell, even her mirror had a pink frame.
"So where do you want to put it?" She jumped on her bed and pointed to the vacant spot on the wall just above the frame. I looked at Mikey and handed him the blu tack. He carefully stood on the bed and positioned it where Bandit wanted it then climbed off the bed, lifting her down after.

We all looked at the drawing for a couple seconds then Bandit hugged me.
"Thank you so much this is the best." She had her head buried in my chest and I laughed.
"No problem, if you're good today I might draw another character for the next time I babysit you." I smiled and she stepped away from me.
"Really?!" She jumped up and down and I nodded.
"What do you want to do?" I asked to both of them and Bandit suggested that we go back to the lounge room and start drawing.
