Chapter 7

Gerard

"Faith's gone" I heard Frank say, and my heart stopped.

"I'm on my way over." I said and wrote a quick note for Mikey and leaving it on the counter. I just said that Faith was missing, I went to Frank's to help find her, and for him to stay here just in case Faith had walked over.

God I hope she's okay, I thought as I drove to their house. I went right in, and Frank was sitting on the couch crying. I went over and hugged him.

"We'll find her Frank. I promise." I said. "Did she leave any clues to where she went?"

"I didn't notice." Frank said sheepishly.

"I'll look." I got up and headed toward the kitchen. The first thing I saw was a note taped to the fridge labeled 'Frankie'. "Frank. Get your ass in here." I yelled.

"Yes?" He said running in.

"How could you miss it?" I said. "It's right there, with YOUR name on it." I said, making him feel stupid. I needed to. He missed something so obvious.

He pulled it off the fridge and read it.

"She said she was tired of being a bother to everyone, and wanted you to be with someone who could love you better."

"Wait… love me better?" I asked him.

"I don't know what she means." He said. I knew he was lying, but I didn't press the matter.

"I'm going out to chase her down. See where she might have gone. I am going to find her, even if it kills me." I said and left Frank alone. I kept on the search almost all night, and didn't find anything. I tried her cell for like the 100th time. Please answer. I begged silently. Finally I heard a voice pick up on the other end.

"Hello?" I heard, the voice sounded like she was crying?

"Faith?" I asked, hoping to god it was her.

"Yeah… Gerard?"

"Yes. Baby please. Where are you? We are all going crazy."

"I am going to be where I can't bother anyone anymore." She said and I heard a click. She hung up. I parked my car and just tried to breath. I almost started crying, I can't believe I was losing her. I didn't know what the problem was. So I just drove back to Frank's. That's when I saw the note on his door saying he went over to Raven's to try to see if she knew anything. So I drove over there.

Frank

I decided after what happened yesterday, Faith might have went to Ravens. I hope she did. That way we could say she was safe. I knocked on the door, and she answered right away.

"Oh Frank. I thought you were my dad." She said laughing. "He's supposed to be coming by today along with my mom to pick me up to take me to my aunt's house. But we can hang till then. Come on in."

"Okay thanks." I said following her inside. "I was wondering if you have seen Faith. She ran off this morning, something about being a bother, and how she wanted Gerard to be with someone who could love him better."

"No I'm sorry Frankie. I could help you look if you want me too. I mean this has to be my fault. I told her before I told you about… you know…" She sighed.

"Hey don't blame yourself. We'll find her. It's not your fault." I said, really missing her. We stared at each other and it lead to a lot more. We ended up shutting ourselves in her bedroom for hours.

Finally when we both came out, a room of people was waiting. I saw her father, Mikey, and Gerard. They were all staring at us. I am pretty sure I turned bright red. Raven had looked like she just wanted to hide.

"Frank… your sisters missing, and you're here… sleeping with your girlfriend?" I heard Gerard say. I could tell he was pissed.

Raven

I was so glad that me and Frank had made up. We spent all day together. If you know what I mean…. When we went out of my room, I got so embarrassed. I saw my dad, Gerard, and Mikey. Mikey and Gerard had looked pissed. I really hope it wasn't at me.

"Frank… your sisters missing, and you're here… sleeping with your girlfriend?" Gerard said, and he sounded pissed.

"It's my fault, Gerard. Me and Frank broke up yesterday, and I called him here. He came over only to see if Faith was here. Then shit happened." I looked back at Frank. He mouthed the words 'Tell Gerard' So, I added "Gerard can I talk to you alone for a minute."

"Sure whats up?" He said as I led him into the kitchen.

"Gerard. Remember our night together? On Halloween? When we made a mistake?"

"Yeah…" He said softly.

"Well, I'm pregnant, and it's not Frank's." I whispered.

"You're Pregnant?!" He shouted.

"Hey lower the volume a bit. I didn't tell my dad yet, only you and Frank." I said panicking. Too late. Everyone heard him. My dad came in first, followed by everyone else. Frank being last.

"I'm sorry baby but did I just hear Gerard say your pregnant? Please tell me it's Frank's. No offense Gerard, but you're supposed to be with Faith."

"I am with Faith, sir. But apparently this is my fault… I'll take responsibility for my actions, and if it is my child, then I will do whatever I have to." Gerard said, and hung his head.

The Next Day

Faith

I had no idea where I was going, I just kept walking. I somehow ended up back in my neighborhood. I was passing my old house when I saw that the neighbors had sold. Standing outside of the house was a girl. She had long, vibrant red hair with bright purple highlights. She wore awesome jeans and a red top that had cut offs at the shoulders and continued down as sleeves. She also wore red converse. She looked amazing. Seeing as she was technically my neighbor, I went up to introduce myself.

"Excuse me, but I live next door, I'm Faith." I said and smiled.

"Angel." She said and nodded, noticing my pregnantness. "What idiot guy got you pregnant?"

"My… boyfriend" I said after a minute. Angel looked at me surprised.

"You look cold. Come on in." She said and led me inside. "You coming?"

"Sure.." I said and looked back at my old house and sighed. We went inside.

We talked for hours. We had a lot in common and got along great. It was perfect; I had made a new friend. We made plans to see each other the next day, and I walked outside, only to find Frankie and Gerard waiting for me. I freaked out, and tried to go back around Angel's house. Too late, they saw me.

"Faith Iero, what the fuck? You ran away, and didn't answer your god damn cell phone. Do you know how worried we've been?" I heard Frank yell. I just stared at him, turned around and walked away. I wasn't dealing with this. I just want to be happy, and he won't let me be.

Angel

I was waiting outside, just watching. Not sure of what to do, I just moved into my first house on my own. I decided just to people watch. Suddenly, a girl came up. She had long black hair with red and blonde in it. She was wearing black skinny jeans, a black and silver striped top, and a black vest. She was obviously pregnant.

"Excuse me, but I live next door, I'm Faith." She said as she smiled gently. She looked like she was nervous.

"Angel." I said and nodded, deciding to ask who got her pregnant, she looks no older than me and I'm 17. "What idiot guy got you pregnant?"

"My… boyfriend" She said after a minute, I looked surprised because it took her longer to answer. Maybe there was some relationship problems.

"You look cold. Come on in." I said and started heading inside. I paused and turned back to her. "You coming?"

"Sure..." She said and looked back at her house and sighed. We went inside.

We had a lot in common. Same type of music and a lot of the same television shows. We both loved to be random, and just have fun. It was amazing. Suddenly, I noticed the time and I had to update my latest fanfiction, so I made up some excuse and she went home. I sat back on my couch and I looked out my window. There appeared to be an argument going on. Faith was out there, and she was starting to walk away. She looked so sad, like she was just broken. I sighed as I saw her heading out to the woods behind my house. I got up to go and open my back door and yell for her to come in. She's pregnant and the cold and snowy weather would be horrible for her. I yelled for her to come in, and she listened.

"T…Thanks so much for this… I owe you Angel."

"Don't worry bout it girl, here is your room." I said turning on the light in my guest room. "Just make yourself at home, you can stay for as long as you need to." I said heading back downstairs to return to my fanfiction. I just started typing up Naruto fanfiction when there was a knock at my door. I sighed and got up to answer it.

"Hello?" I said looking at 3 guys standing by me. One was short, and looked a lot like Faith. He had the same hair colors as her, and highlighted the same way as her. The next was a tall guy who had light brown hair, glasses, and a Dawn of the Dead shirt on. He must be freezing, yet he's also really cute. The last was about in between them in height, and he wore all black. He had jet black hair that was the longest of the group. He had sort of a gothic emo look about him.

"Hi, I'm Frank. This is Mikey and Gerard. I saw my twin sister Faith come out of your house earlier, and I was wondering if you knew where she is going to now, or if you know why she ran away." I sighed, and was glad I knew the cute guys name now.

"Come on in." I said, taking my place back on the couch and shutting down my laptop. "Faith came by and introduced herself when she saw me outside, we talked to get to know eachother a bit, but that's all. She is upstairs if you want to talk to her. I offered her a place to stay because she's pregnant." I said and reopened my laptop and started typing. Gerard and Frank went upstairs, and Mikey stayed downstairs.

"Mikey,y ou aren't going up to see Faith?"

"Not my place." He said.

"Why not?"

"I got dragged here by Gerard and Frank. Frank's her brother, and Gerard's her boyfriend. She's just my best friend, but I don't want to get involved right now. I mean I love her, but she didn't run away because of me."

"Grab a seat then and explain to me why she ran away." I told him, I was sincerely curious. He sat next to me.

"Well, her problems started about 2 months ago when she found out she was 2 months pregnant. She didn't tell anyone right away though, besides her best friend at the time Raven. Then at her and Frank's birthday, my brother and Raven had stayed the night. All of them were drunk, and me and Ray and Bob went back to mine and Gerard's apartment. Next thing I know, Faith came over crying. So, when I talked to her… she explained how the night before was a disaster. She walked in on Raven sleeping with Gerard, and she somehow slept with Frank. Before I could really answer, Gerard came in and apologized to her. She took him back and they were fine till 2 days ago. We were having our Christmas Eve party, and she didn't speak to Gerard at all. She left early and said she was going to bed. We all woke up, and she was gone. No one knew what happened, except she left a note saying she was tired of being a bother, and that she wanted Gerard to be with someone who could love him better. We went to Raven's yesterday to try to find her, and it came out that Raven is pregnant. Since she and Frank also admitted to not being active, it came out to be Gerard's kid and that Raven had told my girlfriend Alicia, and Faith that she was pregnant with Gerard's kid before our Christmas Eve party. So she ran away because of it." Mikey explained, and sighed at the end of it all.

"That's pretty fucked up." I said after a few minutes, only to be sure he was done.

"It is. But Angel…"

"Yes?"

"You know you're very pretty." He said, smiling slightly.

"Why thank you…" I said and blushed. Mikey was very cute, too bad he has a girlfriend, he coulda been boyfriend material.

About 10 minutes later, me and Mikey were getting to know eachother, and that turned into a makeout session. I didn't know what time it was, but suddenly I heard someone go *ahem* and we broke apart and looked. Faith was pressed to Gerard by his arm, and Frank was behind them rubbing Faith's shoulder. I blushed and looked away.

"Mikey I thought you had a girlfriend." Gerard said.

"I do.." He said as he looked down.

"I thought someone said they were faithful in relationships." Gerard said and glared at his brother.

"I thought someone was the same way as well, but they slept with their best friends girlfriend." Mikey said and glared right back at Gerard. Faith looked pissed. She pushed Gerard off her, and started running at Mikey. Frank and Gerard grabbed Faith's arms.

"I'm gonna kill him." She yelled and Mikey hid behind me.

"No you're not, he may be a little bit bitchy right now, but he is still my brother. You can't kill him. Just settle, breath and relax and I might let you have a cigarette." Gerard said, and Faith relaxed.

"Fine. I won't kill him. Give me one." Faith looked at him.

"Give me a kiss first."

"Fine." She agreed and kissed him.

"There you go." He said and handed her one, and his lighter.

"Angel! Do you care if I smoke in here?" She asked, her mood a bit better.

"Not at all, go right ahead." I smiled, as she lit up. Me and Mikey looked at eachother.

"I guess I'll be seeing you around." I smiled at him.

"I guess so." He smiled back and hugged me goodbye, kissing my cheek as he pulled away. "Bye Angel."

"Bye" I said, slightly blushing.

Mikey

Gerard and Frank dragged me out of Angel's shortly after our kissing scene. I don't know I mean, sure I haven't been feeling the same about Alicia lately. I think it's cause I might still have feelings for the first girl I loved, Faith. I glanced over at her, walking with Gerard's arm around her and sighed. I shook my head. I did somewhat cheat on Alicia. Maybe it was time I broke up with her. I would love to give it a shot with Angel. I smiled goofily to myself.

A few hours later

We were all sitting around Faith and Frank's pool. Faith had fallen asleep on Gerard's lap. He petted her hair as she slept.

"Do you really like Angel, Mikey?" He asked me, and sighed.

"I think I do. I mean we talked and got to know each other, and we get along great. I mean sure we just met, but I think I want to try with her." I said after a few minutes.

"Don't do anything else with her until you clear everything up with Alicia. I hurt Faith in the way you will hurt Alicia. It isn't worth it, and plus if you claim to be Faith's best friend, you know it would destroy her to see one of the only few friends she has outside us guys hurt because you cheated on her. If you want to, just break up with her. It's much easier. But do it in person. Be nice and gentle about it. Try to not worry about it." Gerard said, I could tell he meant it.

I sighed and got up, and just walked home. I didn't know what I wanted to do. Did I want to stay with Alicia even though I was unhappy, or try something new with Angel. I knew what I wanted, and went over to Alicia's apartment.

"Look Alicia… I'm sorry. I just can't do this anymore. It isn't working out. I would love to still be friends, if you want to be. But for now, I'll just go." I said to her, and left her apartment.

"Before The Storm"
(Miley Cyrus feat. Jonas Brothers)

I know this isnt what I wanted,
Never thought it'd come this far,
Just thinking back to where we started
& how we lost all that we are

[Nick:]
We were young & times were easy,
But I could see it's not the same.
I'm standing here but you don't see me,
I'd give it all for that to change.
And I dont want to lose her,
I dont want to let her go.

[Chorus:]
[Miley:]
I'm standing out in the rain,
I need to know if its over,
Cause I will leave you alone.

[Nick:]
Flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm

[Nick:]
And with every strike of lightning

[Miley:]
Comes a memory that lasts

[Miley:]
Not a word is left unspoken as the thunder starts to crash

[Miley:]
Maybe I should give up

[Chorus:]
[Miley:]
I'm standing out in the rain,
I need to know if its over,
Cause I will leave you alone.

[Nick:]
Flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that I'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm

[Miley:]
Trying to keep the light from going in

[Miley:]
And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart.
We always say a heart is not whole without the one who gets you through the storm.

[Chorus:]
Standing out in the rain, knowing that it's really over- please don't leave me alone
Flooded with all this pain, knowing that I'll never hold you, like I did before the storm

A/N: Okay, so I know people are going to hate me for picking a Miley Cyrus song, it just kind of fit to explain both sides of Mikey's and Alicia's breakup. Angel is based off of a friend I have on here/real life check her out… NoLessThan3 I also have a link in my profile for my new facebook page. Check it out. For now, peace 3 xoxo HD
