"See, the thing about me, Gerard, is that I get too attached to things. And when the things leave my life, I don't know how to deal with that. And so, if you want to leave, that's okay. You'll be okay. But the thing is, I won't be." Tears clawed at my eyes, and emotion clutched my throat, so my words sounded strangled, pained. "Linds." I couldn't look at him. "Linds." He repeated, louder, and captured my wrists in his pale, slender fingers. I looked at him, his face lit only by the moonlight, those hazel orbs boring into mine so intensely that I'll never forget that one moment. "What?" "I will never, ever leave you. Because if I did, I don't know how /I/ would deal with that." ~ Lindsey Ann Ballato. Gerard Arthur Way. Two unique individuals living in 1994 Belleville, New Jersey, both with their own quirks, talents, insecurites, passions, inspirations and—as it seems to Lindsey—problems. But when the two meet, could these problems fall away and be replaced with wonderful times and wonderful feelings? And in the midst of all of this, there is the problem of young Frank Iero falling for Lindsey himself. And what on earth is that scarecrow doing in the middle of the playing field? ~ A tale of love, loss and belonging, TheGhostOfYou's latest creation comes with a moral lesson. Things are not always as they appear; and you should never read a book by its cover. Because there might be something beautiful and lifechanging in that book. But you never know until you've flicked through all the pages. (Note: This is all complete fiction. I do not own any of the characters in this story, they are based on the wonderful members of My Chemical Romance and Mindless Self Indulgence.)

My writing has since improved, but I'd rather not edit and correct all these things for the sake of looking back on how much I've grown and changed, writing-wise. Thanks for your understanding!
