You're my what?! A Gerard Way Fanfiction

☆ A Day To Remember ☆

"Jay!"

I spun around to see, my best friend, Hailey, running towards me; her long brown hair flowing out behind her. In her hand she was holding a piece of paper.

"Hey, Hailey. Sup?"

"Sup?!" She looked at me incredulously, "The most amazing thing in the world is happening! And all you can say is sup?!"

"What are you talking about?" I laughed.

"I thought you were in love with My Chemical Romance!"

"Yeah, so? Besides, I'm only 14! They're old enough to be my 'rentals'! What does My Chem have to do with anything anyway? What's this amazing thing you're talking about?"

She rolled her eyes, and then thrust the paper into my hands. I looked down, read it, and nearly fainted.

"You can't be serious! What the hell would they be doing here?" I half screamed. Hailey had given me a newspaper article, which she had printed off the net. It said that My Chemical Romance had been rumoured to be in Australia.

"I dunno, and I don't care. How cool is this?"

"Yeah, cool." I mumbled. My Chem were one of my favourite bands, but I'd never seen them in concert; mum forbids it for some reason. I wasn't even allowed to listen to them; but that didn't stop me, of course. I checked my watch; mum had this thing about getting home by 4pm. Twenty minutes. Dang!

"Hailey, I've gotta be home in twenty minutes. Walk with me?"

"Sure!"

We reached my place with seconds to spare. I walked up my steep driveway and to my old, wooden, front door. I unlocked the door and walked in. Hailey was right behind me. The entire walk we had been making up ridiculous reasons why My Chem, if in Australia, was here.

"Mum?" I called out. The house was abnormally quiet, "Mum, I'm home!" My mother dutifully appeared at the top of the stairs. Her blonde hair was messed up, and she looked uncharacteristically nervous.

"Hi, Jadis. Good afternoon, Hailey. Hailey, I'm sorry, but I need to ask you to leave." Mum said to us.

I looked at Hailey, and she looked at me. Something was up. We both knew it.

"Is something wrong, mum? Did I do anything?"

"No no dear," I'd never seen mum as nervous and rattled as she was now. Even when I asked her about my father, she was never this uncomfortable. She flashed a glance toward the living room. What was going? It was always just mum, me and my dog. My dad had left mum when he'd found out she was pregnant with me. I'd never had a father. So who was she looking at in the lounge?

"Hailey," I whispered, "Go. I fill you in tonight on MSN."

Hailey glanced at my mum, then at me, and then headed back out the door. All our excitement about My Chemical Romance possibly being in town, had faded instantaneously.

As the door clicked shut, behind me, I heard someone cough in the lounge. My heart started pounding against my ribs. Slowly I started up the stairs; mum's anxious expression, never changing.

The second I could, I looked into the living room space. I could only see the back of the big three person couch. In the place where I usually sat, half a head protruded from the top. It was a man: a man with black hair. His hand was on the arm rest. His skin was very pale.

My breath caught in my throat. Who was he? He seemed familiar, somehow. Why was he here? Why was mum so nervous about his presence? Mum! I looked back at her. She looked exhausted. I took her hand, and she led me forward, into the lounge.
