NOTE: All of the characters look like they did in the "Revenge" era. Only, Frank has hair like he did during the "Parade" era. Andy looks like he did in the video for his band's song, "Knives and Pens"
Okay…let's start…
"Helena, wake up sweetie!" said my mother.
"Errg…" I groaned while throwing the covers off of me. I searched through my wardrobe to find something to wear. I chose my black Linkin Park tee, red Green Day hoodie, black skinnies, and red converse. Oh, I'm sorry, I haven't properly introduced myself yet. I'm Helena Perry. I'm sixteen and (if you haven't guessed already) emo. I've got shoulder-length black hair with fringe and side-bangs.
I walked over to my bathroom and got changed. I put on my lip-gloss, eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara and ran out of the room. I went into my bed room and grabbed my iPod and ran downstairs.
"You look great, 'Lena," said my mom. She didn't care about what others said, as long as I was happy and got good grades.
"Thanks!" I said. I grabbed a pop tart and headed out towards the car. Eventually, Mom, Dad, Mollie, and Gregg came out.
We started to drive.
You see, I hate going to my Grammy's house. She's a nice woman and all, but I've always been bored at her house.
We finally arrived.
"Sweetie!" said Gram while walking towards me.
"Hey, Gram!" I responded.
"Come here, I need to talk to you,"
"Um, okay?"
She pulled my to the side and started to talk.
"Now, I know how you're always bored with your mother's conversations with me. I'm sick of seeing you constantly tedious! I brought you a new skateboard; it's in the kitchen on the table. There are a few boys that come around about your age, they are amazingly nice and I think you could be great friends with them! I'll talk to your mother and come out every once in a while to see if you've met them yet. You are not leaving this house without meeting them! Okay, is that clear?"
"Yes!" I ran inside and got the skateboard off of the counter, Pushed the ear buds of my iPod in my ears, and started to skateboard. I closed my eyes for a small bit and came into a crash with somebody.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention," said the figure as he helped me up.
"No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have been listening to music," I said.
The mystery person held his hand out to me.
"Frank Iero." He said.
"Helena Perry," I said with a smile and shaking his hand.
"Are you new here?" he questioned me.
"Actually, no. I'm just visiting a family member. I'm Amanda Swift's granddaughter."
"Mrs. Swift is your grandmother?"
"Yup!"
"Wow, so…um…anyway. My friend and I are hanging out at my place, wanna come?"
"Yeah! Just let me get my cell!" I ran inside.
"What are you doing?" asked Gregg. He was so nosey.
"Grabbing' my phone then going' to a friend's house," I responded quickly.
"And who exactly is this friend?" asked my mother, who, too, happened to be nosey.
"Frank Iero…"
"Who is that? Do I know them? You are not going to a stranger's house!"
"Oh, relax, Abigail. Frank is a sweet boy from down the road. They'll make great pals!" said Gram. Did I ever tell you how much I loved that old woman?
"Uggh….be home by 5." Said my mother.
I ran out of the door and back to Frank.
"Hey!" I said.
"Hey, I'll lead you to my place," he took my five houses away from Gram's and three boys were in the front yard.
"Hey, guys. This is Helena Perry, she's Mrs. Swift's granddaughter." Said Frank. A slightly taller boy with straightened brown hair, glasses, and an Anthrax tee shirt stood up and walked over to me. If it wasn't for the shirt, I would have sworn he was a geek.
"Hi! I'm Mikey Way, this is my brother Gerard and our friend Ray Toro," Said the boy. The others waved and smiled.
"Hi," I said.
We all talked for a little while, then my mother came over.
"Helena Perry, you need to get back. It's passed the time I said," she said strictly. She was stiff.
"Yes, mother," I said. I exchanged phone numbers with the four boys and went home.
*5 HOURS LATER*
*STILL HELENA'S POV*
My cell phone started to play the tune to "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day. I knew exactly who it was and picked up immediately.
"Hey, Andy!"
"Hey, 'Lena. I was wondering if you would wanna come to the mall with me tomorrow. Hot Topic just got in the new Anthrax album and I've just got to get it!"
"Sure! Meet me at my house at 1 PM, okay?"
"Yup! I gotta go, bye,"
"Bye,"
*NEXT DAY*
*AT MALL*
*HELENA'S POV*
Andy and I walked into Hot Topic and picked up some stuff. We got us each a copy of the Anthrax album, Green Day shirts, Linkin Park shirts,
I bumped into a slightly tall object.
"Sorry! I wasn't-oh, hey Helena!" Said the man.
"Hi, Frank!"
"What are you doing here?" asked Gerard.
"Oh, just getting the new Anthrax album with a friend. They're in the changing room right now,"
"Hi, 'Lena!" said another person.
"Hey, Mikey!"
"Getting the new Anthrax album, I see…" said Ray.
"Yup!"
Andy emerged through the door from the changing room.
"Oh, hey, Andy," I said, "these are my friends Mikey Way, Gerard Way, Ray Toro and Frank Iero. Frank, Gerard, Mikey, Ray, this is my best friend, Andy Biersack."
"You're Helena's friend?" asked Frank.
"Yeah…why?" asked Andy.
"Well…you seem more like a couple…"
I blushed. I think Andy did too, but I didn't know any better.
"Well, we gotta go." Said Frank, "Bye Helena, bye Andy." He kissed my cheek.
They all left and I stood there full of shock.
Andy stared at me with wide eyes.
I went to check out, still in shock.
We left Hot Topic and walked home.
It was pure silence ever since Frank kissed me.
Andy decided to break it.
"Who was that guy? Your boyfriend or something?" Andy whispered.
"No, just a friend. If he was, I would've told you before anybody,"
"Whatever…" said Andy.
The rest of the walk home was just like after the kiss: pure silence.
We reached my doorstep and my mom opened it.
"Hurry up, you need to get- oh, hello Andy!" said my mother. Andy was the only friend I knew that my Mom approved of. Yet…I don't know why.
"Bye, Andy," I said.
"Bye," he responded blankly.
I went up to my room.
I suddenly realized some thing
I was in love.
Not with Frank.
Not with Mikey.
Not with Ray.
Not with Gerard.
But with my best friend since preschool.
Andy Biersack.
*ANDY'S POV*
God damn it! How does Helena not know I like her?
I grabbed a pillow and threw it at my wall. I ran my hands through my hair, wondering how to deal with this.
Was she dating Frank? No, she wouldn't keep things like that from me. Why would she want that little midget, anyway? I sat on my bed and decided to go to sleep.
*THREE AM.*
*STILL ANDY'S POV*
I woke up. I had dreamt about Helena. This is how the dream went:
We were in school. It was the day before prom. She ran up to me and had tears streaming down her eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"F-F-Frank rejected me…" she stuttered out between tears.
"It's okay I'm here, I always will be,"
"Do you promise?"
"Yes,"
She smiled.
"Do you want to go to prom with me?" I whispered.
She nodded her head and hugged me.
*DAY OF PROM*
*Dream world*
*Andy's POV*
We were dancing to "I Caught Fire" by The Used.
I leaned in, so did she, right before our lips touched…
That's when I woke up. These dreams have been going on for weeks now.
Definitely, too long for me.
I honestly, didn't know how to et myself out of this mess of a potential "Love-Triangle".
Well…there was that one option….
Of telling her.
