“What?” Bandit and I screamed in unison.
“Alex, we put you up for adoption because we weren’t sure if we could handle 2 babies. Once Bandit and you were a few weeks old, we totally regretted it. But we figured we’d never see you again…so we moved on.” LynZ said quietly, gripping a coffee cup.
“I don’t even…” I said.
“The first time I saw you I knew I had seen you before. But I didn’t really put my finger on it until LynZ brought it up.” Gerard announced.
Bandit squealed.
“I always knew I wasn’t an only child!” She looked over at me and smiled.
Gerard reached over and put his hand on mine.
“We feel so bad you were put with the worst family possible.” He said, shaking his head.
I looked down.
“Can I go to bed?” I asked.
“Yeah, you have school tomorrow.” LynZ said.
I nodded and walked up the stairs.
I climbed into bed, not bothering to change out of my black skinny jeans, white tshirt and black scarf.
I fell asleep until 6 the next morning.
I rolled over and stood up, then looked in the mirror.
I was paler than usual, my eyes were red and I was sweating.
I walked downstairs.
“…LynZ?” I said.
She turned around.
“Yeah honey?” She asked.
“I…I think I’m sick.”
She titled her head and came up to me.
She put her hand on my forehead.
“Yeah…you have a fever. Come on.”
We walked upstairs together, and she got a pair of pajamas for me.
“Put them on.”
I walked into the bathroom and changed, then came back out.
I went to the bed and lied down. She tucked me in and I smiled.
“…Can I call you Mom now?” I asked softly.
She smiled and nodded.
I hugged her.
“Where’s Gerard?” I asked.
“Went to the coffee house with your uncle Mikey.” She said.
She stood up and walked away.
“Wait!” I said.
She turned around.
“Yeah?”
“…Did…did the rest of MCR know about me? That you put me up for adoption?” I asked.
“Yeah…Cherry, Lilly, and Bandit didn’t know though. Ray, Frank, and Mikey knew.”
“Oh…okay…”
I lied down and fell asleep.
When I woke up, Gerard and LynZ were in my room.
“Hey.” Gerard said, and smiled. “Feeling better?”
I nodded and looked at the clock. Noon.
“I have a headache though…”
“Go back to sleep.” Gerard said, and put his hand on my head.
I lied down again and fell asleep.
My nightmares about my parents had stopped.
But I still felt unsafe…
At least I knew where I belonged now.
