Scared ~ Adopted by the Way's

12: Cemetary Drive

Kira~
After Christmas, we headed home to get ready for a New Years Eve party and for my birthday. I was a New Year's Eve baby and actually, I was born at 11:57pm on December 31st, just a few minutes before the countdown to New Years of 2000. I had spent most my time putting away my new things and getting ready for the party.
Gerard was having band members over (whoop de doo) and I was having Dean and Lizzy over.

I hadn't really talked to Dean about what happened between us but I knew that there was something. It was the day before my birthday and I was mentally preparing myself for a house full of people. And not just any people, my idols. I heard a knock on my door and I turned my chair to face the door.

"Come in!" Dean walked in, wearing his famous maroon beanie.
"It's your favorite character!" I rolled my eyes and gave him a hug.
"I'm only on season four of Supernatural, Dean," I poked his shoulder and went back to scrolling the famous world of Tumblr.

"Are you excited to be seventeen?" I looked at Dean.
"Yeah, until you turn eighteen in March." Dean stuck his tongue out at me.
"Not my fault that I'm older by nine months," I sighed. "So what did you get?" I thought back for a moment.

"Some clothes, a new journal, some art stuff, a cover for my laptop, some more film for my polaroid, a blanket from PINK, a couple pairs of converse, and a couple pairs of vans," I swiveled my chair. "You?" Dean thought for a moment.
"Clothes, CDs, a new tv since April broke mine," I laughed at the thought of his eleven year old sister breaking his tv. "A watch, some beanies, and a couple posters." I smiled.
"Well, I'm gonna nap. Wanna join?" I grabbed my blanket off my chair and jumped onto my bed, curling up into a ball.

"Sure." Dean took off his jacket to reveal a Twenty One Pilots hoodie and took off his shoes before getting under the covers. He wrapped an arm around me and I fell asleep quickly.

"Kira! People are here!" I looked at my outfit quickly before heading downstairs. I was wearing some leggings, a Sleeping With Sirens shirt, and a bunch of bracelets I found in my box of bracelets. I had my hair tied up into two French braid with my bangs down and I had the slightest amount of makeup on. I grabbed my phone and went downstairs to where Gerard was answering the door.

Pete Wentz, Meagan, and their two boys walked in, holding a couple wrapped boxes.
"Hello! You must be Kira!" I nodded and Pete handed the boxes to Gerard. "Well happy birthday, and I'm sure you know who I am." I nodded and grinned. Gerard led them to the living room where I went to the kitchen to see how Lindsey was doing.
"Hey, Mom," I popped my head in. "How you doing?"

"I'm doing well. Are guests here?" I nodded.
"Just Pete and his family." Gerard called for me and I walked to the front hall where Gerard was standing with fucking Vic Fuentes and Kellin Quinn.
"Hey! Nice shirt!" I looked down at my shirt for a second before looking up at them and grinning.

Soon, everyone was at the party and I was sitting between Frank and Lizzy while Mikey was telling them about how I had to wipe frosting on Bandit's mouth to keep her from talking while I was making cookies and then she tried to take the entire can of frosting. We ended up throwing frosting everywhere.

Gerard was pissed, needless to say, and Donna just started laughing and helped us clean. After awhile, everyone was getting food and exchanging fun stories until the doorbell rang again.
Lizzy followed me to answer the door and I opened it to show Dean, holding a bouquet of roses.
"Hello, birthday girl." I smiled and gave him a hug before letting him inside.

He followed me into my living room when everyone stared at him.
"Guys, this is Dean, he's one of my best friends." Dean waves and stared at everyone before I pulled him to the couch and sat him down by Mikey. He already knew Mikey but not as well as he knew Gerard and Frank. Everyone was still talked when Gerard came in, carrying a bunch of presents.

"Since it is someone's birthday and there is people here that brought her presents, I think we should have Kira open them." I sunk back into the couch while everyone brought me their presents. Dean went into the kitchen for a few moments before coming back. I opened Vic's present first which was actually a new guitar.
"Awesome, now I can retire Fabi and save it to teach Bandit how to play!" I gave Vic a hug and handed Gerard the large box.
