"I'll take you. Do you have any bags?" Gerard asks.

"Yeah, do I need to get them?" Gerard nods. 

I stand and walk to the beat down car, and get my bag out of the back seat. "Is that your car?" Gerard asks.

"Not necessarily mine, but I'm claiming it as mine." I say as I walk back to him. He takes the suitcase out of my hands, and starts walking. Eventually we get to a decent sized two-story house. 

"Mom, I'm home!" Gerard yells as we walk in the house. A small woman with blonde hair appears in the living room. 

"Gee, who's this?" She asks. She seems like a nice woman.

"Mom, this is Skylar, she's new at school. Skylar, this is my mom, Donna." Gerard says. 

"It's nice to meet you, Skylar."

"You too." I say awkwardly.

"We'll be in my room, Mom." Gerard says before starting to run up the stairs. I follow him. He walks into the last room at the end of the hallway. 

"This is my cave." Gerard says while sitting my suitcase down. There is a bed, a small TV, and a desk. The desk has lots of comics and drawings on it. 

"Nice." I say. It's definitely better than my room at Dad's. 

"Okay, we literally just met thirty minutes ago, so how about we play twenty questions?" He says. 

"I'm okay with that." I say. 

"Hang on a second. You can sit down on my bed, I'll be right back." He walks out of the room, and is back in literally ten seconds.

"Skylar, this is my brother, Mikey." Gerard says. Mikey shoves his hands in his pockets.

"Nice to meet ya, Skylar." he says. 

"Same." I say.

"Okay, let's play!" Gerard says while jumping onto the bed. His head ends up in my lap, and we are all laughing.

"Okay, so, how old are you?" Gerard asks first.

"Seventeen." I say.

"Fifteen," Mikey says.

"Eighteen." Gerard says. I figured he would be about seventeen or eighteen. 

Before I know it, I am being told about the time Gerard was chased by the cops for punching a wall. 

"It was ridiculous! I literally just punched a wall, and next thing I know, I'm being chased by three cops!" Gerard laughs. 

"Well, I once got suspended for joking with one of my friends. I called her an idiot, which was very common for me to say." I remember that so much. I got in so much trouble at home. 

"That's ridiculous!" Gerard exclaims, and Mikey laughs. My stupid phone starts ringing. 

"Hang on a minute." I say while answering.

"Hello?" I ask. The number was my dad's.

"Skylar, I'm so sorry. I promise I'll never hurt you like that again." He says. I consider it. But words can lie. I hang up the phone.

"Guys, I should probably get going." I say. Mikey pouts.

"No, you're not staying in the streets of New Jersey. You can stay here." Gerard says. I don't object. 

"Okay." I say. Maybe I did find someone that cares about me.
