It was 7pm. I knocked on her door.
LynZ opened it.
“Hi…is Bandit home?” I asked, still half crying.
“No…she went with Gerard to the CD store. Whats wrong?” She asked, eyeing my bag, the bruises on my body, and my puffy eyes.
“Can I come in?” I asked.
“Of course honey.”
She led me to the couch and we sat down.
“What happened?” She asked me.
“Well…my dad…he beats me. And…when I went home, he pushed me on the floor and kicked my ribs. And kicked me once in the head. He um…he killed my mother too.” I felt tears coming on again, and I wiped my eye.
“Alex, that’s terrible. You can stay here for as long as you need to.”
“Really?” I asked.
“Yep.” She smiled.
“Thanks.” I smiled back.
“Bandit should be home soon. We have a guest room that you can do whatever you’d like to.”
Wow. I wasn’t expecting them to take me in like this.
I smiled and she led me up the stairs to it. It was across from Bandit’s room.
“Wow…” I gasped. “It’s so much bigger than my room at home.”
“This is your home. Well, for now.” She said and smiled.
“It’s so awesome.”
I started unpacking my bag and put my clothes away, and LynZ went back downstairs.
In the guestroom, or my room, there was a queen sized bed, a stereo, 2 nightstands, a vanity, and a desk.
It had more stuff and a bigger bed than at my house.
If my dad were here….
Wait.
My dad.
Fuck.
I ran down the stairs.
“LynZ?” I yelled.
“Yeah honey?” She asked.
“Um…could you call 911 on my father? I don’t want him coming here and trying to hurt you guys…”
“Of course.”
She walked over to the phone and punched in 911.
It rang a few times, and we both sat on the couch.
“911, what’s your emergency?” I heard the man on the phone ask.
“Hi, my daughter’s friend just came over with a suitcase full of things. Her dad beats her and killed her mom. Will you arrest him?”
“And what is the address of the man in question?”
She said my address and they asked her name.
“Lindsay Way.”
“Do we need to take the girl to a foster home?” the operator asked.
I shook my head as much as I could.
“No. She’ll be staying with us.”
“And what is the name of the man?” The operator asked.
LynZ looked at me.
“Fred Walker.” I mouthed to her, and she said it to the operator.
“Alright. Police are on their way.”
She hung up and I sighed a sigh of relief.
“Want some hot chocolate?” LynZ asked me.
“Okay…”
She went to cupboard and took out four mugs.
“In case Bandit and Gerard want some.” She said and smiled.
At that moment, Bandit and Gerard walked in the door.
“Mom! Look! I got the new Panic at the Disco CD!” Bandit said, and showed her mom before seeing me at the table.
“Alex…what are you doing here?”
I bit my lip.
Gerard sat in the seat next to me.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“Um…” I said looking down at my hands.
Why was it so easy to tell LynZ what happened?
“I…uh…my dad beats me and he killed my mom so I’m staying here.” I said quickly.
Gerard and Bandit looked shocked.
Gerard leaned over and hugged me.
Don’t go crazy fangirl. Don’t go crazy fangirl.
He smelled like coffee and cigarettes.
He released me and I smiled.
Bandit came up to me and quickly hugged me, then sat on my other side.
“Alex…I’m so sorry. But I’ll always be here for you, I promise.”
She smiled and I smiled back.
Gerard looked at the two of us.
“I have some news.”
“Yeah dad?” Bandit asked.
“Well, #1, MCR is going out on the road for a reunion tour.”
He paused and looked at me.
“Oh, I’m not gonna scream. Not until I get into my room.” I smiled.
He smiled back.
“And we’d like Disenchanted to open for us.”
Bandit and I looked at each other and screamed.
Suddenly, I heard police going by to my house.
“Well…that took long enough.”
One police car drove into the driveway of the Way household and knocked on the door.
Gerard looked at LynZ.
“I’ll get it.” He said.
He went over, and opened the door.
”Hello, are you Mr Way?” The police asked.
“Yes, I am. Come in.”
He opened the door wider and the police stepped in.
I was nervous about what was going to happen to me.
Would they take me from Gerard and LynZ?
LynZ walked over with the cups of hot chocolate for me and Bandit, and set them on the table.
“Sir, Mr Walker has been arrested for child abuse and murder. He likely won’t be getting out anytime soon. Which one of you is his daughter?” He asked, looking at Bandit and me.
“Me…” I squeaked out quietly.
“I’m sorry, but you’ll be needed to be taken to a foster home. You can’t just move in with these people.” The police said.
“Excuse me, she’s staying with us.” LynZ said.
“You can’t make that decision. Who do you think you are?” He asked.
“LynZ Way, former bassist of Mindless Self Indulgence. And my husband, he is Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance.”
The police gaped.
“Well then…if you two are famous…I suppose I can let it slide.”
He smirked and walked out the door.
Me and Bandit high fived.
No foster home for me.
“That police was an asshole.” I said. “But I’m glad my dad was arrested.”
But I had a feeling this wasn’t the last I’d see of my father.
LynZ opened it.
“Hi…is Bandit home?” I asked, still half crying.
“No…she went with Gerard to the CD store. Whats wrong?” She asked, eyeing my bag, the bruises on my body, and my puffy eyes.
