Adopted (A Fall Out Boy FanFic)

3

Guess who's back?

ME!

Tell a friend xD

•Courtney's Pov•

"I knew. I knew it was impossible surviving Christina's bullying without self-harm." I heard someone sob.

I stirred and opened my eyes.

My eyes widened when I looked at my wrists to see that they were exposed, I sat up and struggled to cover them up.

Tears ran down my face as I saw the pained expressions on the boys faces.

"I'm sorry." I sobbed and burried my face in the palms of my hand.

I felt a pair of strong arms gently wrapped around my small and petite figure. These pair of arms belonged to Pete. I sobbed into his chest and apologized repeatedly.

"Shhhh. It's okay Courtney." Pete sobbed even though he was trying to calm me down.

"No it's not." I cried.

Pete pulled away from the hug but his hands still rested on my shoulder, holding me at arms length away.

"Look, I know why you did it. No need to apologize because I know exactly how you feel." He whispered.

Andy, Patrick, and Joe was now sobbing quietly as they listened to our conversation.

I felt Pete's hand reach out to cup my chin and gently forced me to look into his eyes that was filled with concern and sadness.

"Listen to me Court. You are a very lovely person. I can tell that you've been through so much shit in your life. These scars proved it. Don't be ashamed of them. They show who you are." Pete whispered.

I gave him a weak smile before giving him a long hug.

"Thank you." I whispered into his ear.

"Stay strong, Courtney Allison Wentz." He whispered back.

I smiled at the mention of my new name.

"There's that smile." Pete chuckled.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"We're almost at the hotel." Patrick answered.

A few minutes later, we arrived at a fancy hotel.

Fans flooded the lobby as the boys got out of the car. The bell boy took my luggage out of the black SUV and went inside the hotel.

I followed closely behind the boys so that I wouldn't get mobbed. I was about to enter the hotel when someone gripped my arm tightly.

"Sorry miss. Can't go in there." A tall, muscular man sternly ordered.

"I'm Courtney Allison Wentz. Pete Wentz adopted me." I answered back.

He rose his eyebrow at me and reached for his walkie-talkie.

"Hey, we got a Courtney Allison Wentz here saying that she was adopted by Pete. Ask one of the boys, will ya?" He

"Yeah. Joe said yes. Just send her up man." A bored voice from the talkie aswered.

"Sorry about that. Follow me please." The tall man said.

I nodded and followed closely behind the tall man.

When we reached the penthouse of the hotel, I can hear voices shouting from the inside.

"Where the hell is Courtney?!" Someone yelled, I think it was Pete.

"I thought she was with you!" I think Andy yelled back at him.

"You lost her?! How the hell can you lose a 14 year old?!" Patrick yelled at both of them. I can imagine him throwing his hands up and pinching the bridge of his nose in anger.

"Guys, relax. She's at the lobby. Someone just asked me if we really adopted a Courtney Allison Wentz." Joe sighed.

I sniggered along with the tall security dude.

"I think I should get inside before they call the national police." I laughed.

"You should kid. I'm Jake by the way. See ya 'round." The tall dude waved and walked away.

"Bye!" I yelled as he entered the elevator.

I opened the door to the penthouse and yelled,

"STOP ARGUING GUYS. I'M HERE AND I'M OKAY."

"Told ya." Joe smiled.

"Courtneeeey!" Patrick yelled.

He ran to me and crushed me in a bear hug.

"Patrick! Control yourself!" Andy yelled.

I chuckled as Patrick immediately let go of me and he mumbled an apology.

"So, what are we gonna do today?" Joe questioned while he plopped down the big comfy couch.

"We have a gig with Panic! tonight at 8:00." Patrick smiled.

My heart beat accelerated a thousand times faster than usual. I grinned to myself, remembering what I told Carter before I left.

"Don't worry bro. When I get adopted by them, I'm gonna tell them to call Panic! and adopt you."

"Watchu thinking 'bout Carter?" Joe smiled.

"Um. Nothing. Just thinking about Carter." I smiled back.

"Oh. Don't worry. She'll be fine." He reassured.

Silence followed shortly after Joe spoke.

For what felt like hours later, a knock on the door disrupted the silence.

"I'll get it." Pete chuckled.

Pete got off the couch and walked towards the door.

I took my phone out of my pocket and checked some messages.

"Courtney?" Pete called out.

"Yeah?" I answered without looking up my phone.

"There's someone here who would like to meet you!" He called out again.

"Who?" I answered and looked up. When I did, everyone was gone.

"Um. Oh...kay..?"

I got hesitantly got up and walked towards the door.

"Pete? Andy? Joe? Pat?" I called out and no one was there.

That's odd.

"BOO!!!" Someone yelled.

I screamed and I was pretty sure I jumped 3 feet off the ground.

"Oh my god!-Your face!-Priceless!" Patrick laughed.

"Not funny!" I pouted.

And that just made them laugh harder.

"Sorry Court." Pete snickered and wiped a off a tear.

I frowned and crossed my arms.

"Aww. Sorry baby girl." Pete pouted and wrapped his arms around me.

"Fine. Anyway, who's this someone that would like to meet me?" I asked Pete.

"Meeeeeee!"

Oh my god.

There he was.

Casually standing there and running both of his hands across his hair, attempting to be sexy.

And let me tell you, it was working.

Like hot damn.

Standing right in front of me,

Please give a round of applause for

BRENDON fucking URIE
