Chapter 4! Enjoy!

SCARLET'S POV:

I woke up the next morning to Gerard shaking me. "Scar, hey get dressed were going to the hospital to see Frank, Jamia, the twins, and Miles." At the mentioning of the new baby, I jumped out of bed and pushed Gerard out of my room so I could get dressed. I grabbed an Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt, some black skinnies, combat boots, double chains, and a studded belt. I put on some eyeliner and walked out of my room to straighten my black hair. When I was done with that, I brushed my hair and put on some deodorant. "Done," I said leaving the bathroom. "MOMMY! DADDY! SCARET! I'M UP!" I heard Bandit yell from waking up. I went into her room to see her sitting on her little awesome looking Killjoy bed and rubbing her eyes. "Hey B!" "SCARET! Carry me!" I laughed while picking her up and going downstairs.

"Morning girls," LynZ said. "Morning mom." I put Bandit on the table and Gerard handed me some pancakes. "OK! So the plan is we eat, then we go to the store and buy some baby clothes and go to the hospital," Gerard said sitting down. "Got it!" LynZ and I said.

*SMALL TIME LAPSE! HOSPITAL!*

I was sitting in Jamia's hospital room holding Cherry and Lily while they were looking at their new baby brother. "You want to hold him Scarlet?" "Yes please!" I said handing Cherry and Lily to Frank. I sat down in a chair beside Jamia and LynZ handed me Miles. "Hey there little dude, welcome to Life On The Murder Scene, thats what our uncle Ray said to me," I said laughing, Ray especially. "You're going to be a real ladies man when you're older," Frank said to his son. "Just like his daddy," Jamia said smiling. "I just want to squish him but I can't because I'll break Miles!" I said looking at the baby in my arms in awe. Everybody laughed and I handed Miles to Gerard. My phone started buzzing and I stepped outside to answer it.

"Hello?" 'SQUEEEEE!' "TJ, dude what the heck you blasted my ear!" 'Sorry Scar! I'M HYPER!' "No kidding! Well, I'm at the hospital right now so I'll call you later." 'OH NO! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HONEY BEE?' I sighed and asnwered to my hyper boyfriend. "Jamia gave birth yesterday to a boy, his name is Miles, I'll tell you later bye!" Before he could respond I clicked the end button and went back inside the room. "Who was that Scarlet?" Christa asked. "My boyfriend, he was hyper just now." "Oh haha," she smiled and looped her arm through Ray's. After an hour at the hospital everyone started leaving. "Well, bye Jamia, Frank, Cherry, Lily, and Miles!" I said waving to the Iero family. We all left the hospital and made it home in a few minutes.

I went to my room and landed on my bed with an 'oof.' I closed my eyes for a few minutes until I felt someone land on top of me. "Hi Scarlet!" "Hi TJ," I said rolling to my side and TJ falling off me. "So how was Miles?" "Adorable! I took a picture of him, look!" I showed TJ the pictures of me holding Miles on my iPod and I showed him anothr picture of just Miles. "He looks so much like Frankie!" "I know right?" TJ and I were just sitting there on my bed in silence looking at the picture for a few minutes until he spoke up. "I need to tell your parents that I'm here..." I gave him a look and said, "How'd you get in the house then?" "The window where else would I come in," he had a straight face and went downstairs to say hi to my parents.

I got up and started going down the stairs when I heard TJ. "HI MR. AND MRS. WAY!" "JESUS TJ! How'd you get inside?" I heard Gerard say. I stepped into the living room and I saw Gerard and LynZ holding eachother in fear. "Scarlet's window," he said smiling. "Scarlet, did you let him through your window?" "Nope, I don't even know how he came in! I thought you guys let him in!" We all looked at the smiling TJ and we shook our heads. I noticed TJ's clothing wich was a black and white striped t-shirt with black sleeves, some black skinny's, and converses.

"So since I'm here, can Scarlet and I hang out?" "Why ask? Just go," LynZ said laughing. "YUSS!" TJ grabbed my hand and ran out the door with me. "TJ where are we going?" "MY SECRET HIDEOUT!" "And where is that at?" "The park, just come with me!" We ran into the park and he led me past the plaground into a small little forest type place. We stopped in front of a big tree and I looked up to see a tree house. "My secret hideout! found out about this a few days ago! No one uses it anymore." TJ said climbing up the ladder. I followed him until we reached the top, TJ opened the little door and we both went in. When I climbed in, my jaw nearly came off. There was a desk, posters on each wall and ceiling, comic books, records, a record player, and bean bags. "This is so freakin' cool!" I said.

"I know! Well, these posters are old! Look at the bean bags and the posters, they're from the 80's to the 90's!" I looked around and sat on the old bean bag. I looked at the records and they were bands like The Misfits, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Flag, etc. "I don't know any of these bands," I said. "What?" TJ said looking at me in shock. "I mean I know who they are, but I don't know any of their songs." "You have to atleast know a few Misfit songs!" "Scream?" "Yeah then you know who they are," TJ said relieved. I sat on a bean bag and grabbed a comic. "I don't know any of these comics, OH WAIT IS THAT THE CROW?" I picked the comic up and I nearly cried. "AAH! IT IS!" "The Crow?" TJ asked tilting his head in confusion. "HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CROW? ERIC DRAVEN DUH!" I opened the holy book and started reading.

Before I could read one word from the holy comic, TJ's phone started ringing wich scared me. "Hey mom, what? NO WAY?" I looked at my dude and he was doing a little dance. "OKAY! BYE MOM! I'LL BE HOME IN A FEW!" TJ clicked the end button and he picked me off the beanbag. He was jumping around and I had trouble seeing. "Dude, what was that all about?" "OF MICE & MEN CONCERT TICKETS DUUUDE! WE'RE GOING TO SEE THEM LIVE!" "We?" I asked confused as TJ put me down. "Yeah, the tickets came today with a signed poster,cd, and backstage passes from the band! I won a contest on their website." "And you're taking me?" "Yes!" TJ picked me up and spun me. "Wait, that means I'll see Austin Carlile! AUSTIN!" I squealed. "Hey, I'm WAAAY better looking than him, k?" "Yes, I know TJ don't be hatin' though," I said laughing as TJ put me down on my feet.

We left the tree house and TJ put me on his back. "PIGGY RIDE!" I yelled getting weird looks from people passing by us. TJ and I laughed when some preps yelled out freaks and when the group got pissed off. We made it to TJ's house and he opened the front door with me still on his back. "MOM I'M HOME! AND I HAVE SCARLET ON MY BACK!" "HI MRS. JONES!" "THE TICKETS ARE IN YOUR ROOM TJ! AND HELLO SCARLET DEAR!" Mrs. Jones yelled from the kitchen. TJ ran up the stairs and I had to hold on for dear life. He opened his door and jumped on his bed. "TICKETS!" "AAH!" I fell off of him on the bed and he grabbed the envelope that said his name. TJ ripped it open and behold the backstage passes, tickets, cd, and poster were sread out on the bed. I grabbed the poster ever so gently and I sniffed it. "Smells like Austin." "Creeper!" "Shut it TJ, just let me be," I said almost crying like a fangirl.

"I smell better than Austin," TJ mumbled while getting up to close his door. I rolled my eyes and looked at the cd which said 'The Flood.' "TJ, dude stop being so jelous it's not like I'm going to leave you for Austin. And he's like WAAAAAY older than me!" I said wrapping my arms around TJ's waist. "Blegh." "And if I wouldn't be dating you if I wanted to date Austin, I love you more than anything." I gave him a kiss and I felt him shudder. He was blushing and wrapped his arms around me. "It would take alot more kisses for me to believe you," he said smiling. "You have to earn them!" I said running out of his arms. He chased me around the room giggling until we tripped. TJ fell on top of me and smiled. "What do I get for cathing you?" I pecked his lips and we got up. "So when is the concert?" "In june, I don't want to wait that long!" I rolled my eyes. "We can wait TJ." "UUUUGH!" I rolled my eyes and laughed.

*TIME LAPSE! JUNE*

Well, it's june now, Bandit's 3rd birthday party was fun, and the Of Mice & Men concert was coming up and so was my birthday. I was on twitter when I saw Frankie's tweet about Miles. It said '#TwitterTimeCapsule Dear Miles, at 2:15 june 2, you threw up on my neck and it dripped down my back. Uncool bro, cut it out. XoDad.' I chuckled to myself and looked at my new phone. It was a touch screen but I could flip it and it had a keyboard. I got up from my bed and went downstairs. I bumped into Gerard, who dyed his hair AGAIN and apologized. "No apology, but have you seen Bandit? I was playing hide and seek with her but she is nowhere to be seen!" I looked past him and saw a movement in the curtain by the window. I pointed in her direction and Gerard smiled. He went over to the window and moved the curtain aside but Bandit wasn't there.

"Strange," I said. We looked around the house and we couldn't find her. "Okay, I'm getting worried. WHERE'S MY BABY!" Gerard panicked."We didn't check the bathroom," I said. We went to the bathroom and Gerard started looking around. I went to the toilet and opened it to see Bandit giggling. "Dad, I found her," I said with a weird expression. "Whe-oh my god." "YOU FOUND ME!" Bandit exclaimed getting out of the toilet dripping wet. "What were you doing in there?" Gerard asked my little sister. "Hiding daddy," Bandit said giggling. Gerard had a horrified and wanting to laugh expression and told her to take off her oversized t-shirt and get into the bathtub. I chuckled and left.

I went down the stairs again and found LynZ on the couch. "Hey mom," I said sitting next to her. "Hey Scar," she said flipping through channels with her mouth open. I smiled and closed it for her. "Thanks," she said turning her head and smiling at me. "So, TJ would be here by now. That's strange that he isn't here yet." LynZ said to me while raising an eyebrow. "I know! I wonder why, he'd tell me though." I thought of places where TJ could be and I instantly thought of our treehouse. "I'm going for a walk in the park," I said getting up and opening the door. "Okay! Be safe!" LynZ yelled as I closed the door. I felt a wave of sadness for some reason and I ran to the park. I ran into the small forest and found the tree house. I climbed up the latter and opened the door to see TJ crying and holding a knife. "TJ!" I ran up to him and slapped the knife out of his hand.

He was sitting on the beanbag with tears falling down his cheeks but expressionless. I cupped his face and made him look at me while I was on my knees in front of him. "TJ Nathaniel Jones! Answer me god d*mmit!" "He's gone Scarlet, he's gone," TJ said choking on a sob. "Who's gone?" "Nathan, my best friend he died, he committed suicide yesterday, he put a note on a safety pin and stuck it in the skin of his finger when he hung himself." "I'm so sorry TJ," I said hugging him. "The note said that he couldn't take the bullying, he felt so invisble, so alone, and that no one cared, Scarlet I CARED! I told him so many times but it didn't mean sh*t! I feel like I was the reason for him dying!" "You're not the reason TJ," I said wiping his tears that kept falling. "I found the knife and I thought about killing myself too but I couldn't do it, I would never do it Scarlet, I can't!" "I love you TJ but don't you ever think that you are the cause of a death or to kill yourself and scare me to death!" "I'm sorry Scarlet," he whispered while looking at me with tears in his eyes.

"It's okay TJ." "Would you come to his funeral with me?" "Yes, but I have to ask my parents." "Ok." TJ's tears were almost gone and I kissed his cheek. "I would usually say let's go out for ice cream but this is a sad occasion, so what do you want to do?" I asked hugging him. "Mope around all day." "If you want, let's go to wherever you want to and mope." "My house?" "Sure." We got up and left the tree house. I held out my hand but TJ wrapped an arm around my waist and laid his head on my shoulder instead. People were giving us looks but we ignored them. We made it to TJ's house and I couldn't help but look at the orphanage. TJ opened the door and we went inside. "TJ honey? Is that you?" Mrs. Jones came out and she had a frown. "I'm really sorry TJ," she said comforting her son. "It's not your fault mom," TJ said letting go of me and going to his room.

"Hello Scarlet, you already know the house rules, make yourself at home if you need me or Mr. Jones we'll be in the living room." I nodded and followed TJ. I closed the door and found him laying in the middle of his bed crying and holding a picture of him and Nathan. I laid down on my back next to him and held him while he cried. "Sssh, it's okay," I said rocking TJ. My phone buzzed and I took it out. It was a text from Gerard. 'Hey, where are you? LynZ said you just ran off to the park.' I responded to the text while looking at TJ. 'TJ's best friend died yesterday, he's bawling dude, I might be home late oh and TJ wanted me to come to the funeral with him.' After a few seconds I got a response. 'You can go, he needs you Scar, see you later.' I put my phone back into my butt-pocket and stroked TJ's hair. He was choking on sobs and made my whole neck wet with tears.

"I ruined your Slipknot t-shirt with my face water! I'm sorry!" TJ cried even more and I rocked him again. "You didn't ruin my shirt TJ." I sat up a little with TJ still in my arms. "So Scarlet, can you come to the funeral with me?" "Yes, I can come when is it?" "This friday." I nodded and TJ rested his head on my chest.

TJ'S POV:

I fell asleep to Scarlet's heartbeat and I started dreaming. "You couldn't save me! Worthless piece of sh*t! I killed myself because of you!" Those words kept repeating in my head and I woke up. I saw Scarlet curled up in a ball next me asleep and we had a blanket over us. She stirred a little and I stroked her cheek. I moved her so her head would be laying on my pillows and I got up to leave my room. I closed the door and went downstairs. "Hey son, how are you feeling?" My dad asked. My mom slapped his stomach and hugged me. "Ow." "Is Scarlet asleep?" She asked me. "Yeah, I'm not going to bother her. What time is it?" "Six thirty." I looked outside and it was getting dark. I figured Gerard would want her home so I went back to my room. I opened my door and went over to my sleeping girlfriend. "Scar, Scarlet wake up," I said shaking her a little. She poked my face and rolled on her side. "Sleeping beauty wake up," I said kissing her lips. "Okay, okay I'm up! She said sitting up and stretching.

"How do you feel?" She asked looking concerned. "Still sad." "Oh, well I felt my phone vibrate alot so I have to go then," she said yawning. "That's why I woke you up, I'm taking you home." "Oh, okay then." We got up and left the house. I carried her on my back and she fell asleep again. She was snoring softly on my shoulder and I smiled to myself a little. I had the empty feeling still but having Scarlet with me made me feel better. I made it to her house and walked right in. "Mom and dad #2 I'm home!" I yelled. "TJ?" Gerard asked coming into the living room. "Hello Gerard, I brought Scarlet home for you," I said. "Thank you TJ." Gerard took Scarlet off my back and I smiled.

I was about to leave when Gerard called me. "TJ, I'm sorry," he said giving me a sympathetic look. "Yeah," I said wanting to cry. Gerard gave me a nod and I left wiping away a few tears. I walked home crying my eyes out. I was getting weirdstarred but I didn't care. When I got home, I went to my room and cried myself to sleep.
