Gerard’s POV
I pulled out of the mall parking lot and onto the main road. I reached down and turned on the radio. I still couldn’t believe that I had met up with both of my daughters in one day, and that Amy said that I was the one that left them. I don’t know how that works in her mind, but she seems crazy to me.
“So…” I heard from beside me. I looked over and smiled at my youngest child. She smiled back at me. She was so beautiful, so was her sister. I don’t know how I managed that.
“So?” I knew she wanted to say something but she seemed like she was almost afraid to.
“How have you been?” she asked me. “Like, what’s new in your life?”
“Well, we just moved back here. We just got off tour… Have you ever heard of a band called My Chemical Romance?” She smiled broadly and shook her head. I’ll take that as a yes.
“Well, we were touring for about two years straight, and now we are on a two year brake,” I paused.
“Wait, you said ‘we’, and you’re wearing a ring. Are you getting married?” she asked me in less than two seconds. I smiled, thinking of how I should tell her.
“Yes, we are getting married.” I said.
She nodded.
“Are you hungry?” I asked.
She nodded again.
We got food and were now driving down my street. I wasn’t going to say anything about who I am engaged to; I don’t know how she was going to take it. It’s not like I’m ashamed or anything, I just don’t know.
I pulled in my driveway, shutting the car off. Danni grabbed the food and I grabbed the stuff I had gotten in the mall. I walked into the house, sitting the stuff in a chair and I heard the shower running.
“Um, just make yourself at home and go ahead and eat. I’ll be right back,” She nodded and sat down on the couch. I went up the stairs and into the bathroom.
“Hey, babe? Are you almost done?” I heard a mumbled ‘yes’.
“Well, I’ve got food and also a surprise.” I heard a mumbled ‘OK’ and I left.
I went back downstairs and grabbed my burger. I asked if Danni wanted anything to drink, and I went to get some pop. I went back into the living room just as Frank walked out of the bathroom.
“Hey,” Frank said as he walked towards me. He looked at Danni and then looked back at me with a confused look. Danni smiled, stood up and introduced herself.
“Hi,” she smiled, shaking Frank’s hand.
“Hi,” he said back to her.
“Is this the surprise?” he asked me quietly. I just lightly smiled.
“Frank, this is my daughter, Danni. Danni, this is my fiance, Frank,” They both just looked at me. Danni had this ‘oh’ look on her face, and Frank looked confused. I had told him about my kids before.
“This is her?” he asked me. I shook my head and he smiled.
“It’s nice to meet you, Danni. Your dad talks about you a lot,” he laughed, so did Danni.
Nikki’s POV
I walked down the stairs and saw my mom and Josh sitting on the couch. I didn’t look like they were talking so I walked in and sat down on the couch next to my mom. She smiled at me, “So, what do you want to do for Halloween tonight?”
I sighed, “Probably just sit here and do nothing… like we always do.” I laughed.
My mom smiled, “That sounds like a good idea to me.”
Josh nodded, “Sitting at home with my wonderful family sounds like a great idea."
I nodded and looked out the front window. I could see little kids with their parents as well as some teenagers that were walking around, probably with their friends. I hoped that maybe I would see Danni and some of her friends walk by. I knew she wanted to go out this year, but mom and Josh weren’t going to let her because I was going out.
We sat in silence for a few minutes and then the phone rang. I grabbed it and looked at the screen. It was Stevie. I answered it and ran upstairs to my room, “Why did you call the home phone?” I asked.
He laughed, “I tried your cell phone, but no one answered.”
“Oh… I must not have heard it ring.”
“That’s okay. I just need to hear your voice.”
I smiled, “You’ll be able to see me tomorrow.”
“About that…”
“Stevie?” I asked, concerned.
“My dad said that he wanted to stay one more week…”
I could feel the tears building up, “But, I really need to talk to you in person…”
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“I… umm… Do you remember what happened when you were over here last?”
“Yea, how could I forget?”
“Well, you remember how the thing broke and that I said I was going to go get tested?”
“Yea… Did you get tested yet?”
“Yea, yesterday and the results came back positive.”
Silence.
“Stevie, I don’t know what to do… You are the only person I’ve told…” I paused, “I’m just so scared.”
“Umm… I’ll see if my dad will let me come home tomorrow… Oh my god, Nikki, I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry. It’s just as much my fault as it is yours.”
“Hold on… I’m going to go ask.” I heard the sound of Stevie and Jared’s voices. I couldn’t tell what they were saying, but it didn’t sound good, “He said that I could come back. I’ll have to leave now to catch the plane though.”
I smiled, “I love you, Stevie.”
“I love you too, Nikki.”
I hung up the phone and lay down on my bed. I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.
