The Point of it All
Summary
Oh but no one can stare at the wall
As good as you, my baby doll
And you're aces for coming along
You're almost human after all...
I like to think that I am strong. I've put up with my alcoholic father for six years, and my unreachably distant mother, and so far I haven't taken to self harm, I haven't been institutionalized, and I haven't even once reached for help. The truth is, though, I am broken. And at some point, I have enough, and try to run away without a second thought. Brave, perhaps a better decision than sticking around until I get beaten to death, but so incredibly stupid I find it laughable now.
I'm not sure how my life would have turned out if Gerard Way hadn't given me those shoes, or if I hadn't run away and ended up at his house on 0012 Cemetary Drive. I don't know if I want to know- most likely I would be dead a lot sooner than I would be now.
*Inspired by the songs The Poison- The All-American Rejects, The Point of it All- Amanda Palmer (duuuh), The Ghost of You- If You Don't Know The Artist Then What The Hell Are You Doing Here, and One Foot in Front of the Other- Emilie Autumn. Also, blargh I suck at summaries. Please tell me I haven't scared too many people off yet, omitting the fact that this is not a Frerard, a rarity amongst the fandom (I mean, not to say that I dislike Frerard...). Still reading? Awesome. I started writing this in seventh grade (yeah, a 12-year-old who could write anotomically correct sex scenes? Terrifying!), and since then, it's gone through many incarnations on many different web sites, and now I daresay that this is the best version. And if you don't think it's that good, then SHAME ON YOU. I tried, and therefore no one should criticize me!

Characters
Atropine Alvarenga
Born June 8, 1988, 14 years old. (You know, if we're paying attention to genetics here, it leaves us all wondering how the hell an Ellen Page lookalike became the spawn of Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall.)
Helena Alvarenga
Born October 5th, 1972. 31 years old. (When you scroll through Shelley Duvall's Google Images page, half of them are usually her in hysterics. U ok, Shelley?)
Wayne Alvarenga
Born May 23, 1959. 44 years old. (I find it worth mentioning that the MCR single for Helena came out the same day as The Shining. I refuse to see this as a coincidence.)
