A/N: Several things have been altered in this story; such as record labels and personal relations. Chad Gilbert bears no existence in Hayley’s life, Gerard’s marriage is falling apart, light bashing is included, the Rockers are one big family and Tommy Mottola is the spawn of the devil (although that already is a solid fact…).
PS: it’s based solely on fiction, almost none of its events have actually taken place.
Warning: the story gets dark and somewhat twisted as it progresses.
Summary: in a world where corruption is the dominant constructor, manipulation is needed to keep it spinning, and the ultimate weapon is the media. Ignorance prevails among the masses, and that is exactly how it’s meant to be.
