I do not own My Chemical Romance or any of the people in this story. Most of the characters are real-life people, with a few original minor characters, (ex: Kiya the coffee girl) 
The plot line is my own and if it mirrors another story line, it is unintentionally done. 
I do not intend to romanticize suicidal thoughts, self-harm, addiction, abuse, etc. All of these things are very damaging and I am in no way trying to make them attractive characteristics. This story is intended to be more about healing, getting away from these things, and finding closure. I'm sorry if it seems like I am romanticizing or encouraging self destruction, this is certainly not intentional.
