Gerard's POV

I remember being in a band was easier. All I had was Matt. And this song I wrote called Skylines and Turnstiles. It was about the event that happened weeks ago. Things couldn't be worse. Rain is getting progressively worse to where she was partying every night and doing heroin or cocaine, weed, or anything else. She's even doing pills. All I have is a drummer. I suck at guitar. And the bass. Mikey, and Frank are in collage. Frank is in a band and I have no fucking idea where Ray has been. I've tried calling him over and over and no answer. Until today. I got a phone call and answered it immediately. "Hello?" I asked hopefully. "Hey Gerard sorry for not answering I've been busy. What's up?"

I sighed, "Ray things are bad. I'm trying to form a band again. All I have is Matt and I suck at guitar and bass. I mean, I would have Rain be in the band as bassist but she's getting worse. And Lindsey is in Mindless Self Indulgence and Mikey is in collage. I'm freaking out man. Please can you join the band?" I pleaded desperately. "Fuck, I'm so sorry Gerard, I'm in a band as a drummer. Sorry man." "Well thanks anyways." I said hanging up. I rubbed my eyes and sighed. I was crushed. He was my only hope. And now, I wasn't going to be in a band and the cartoon people would make fun of me. I felt like breaking down but I couldn't. "Alright Matt, let's do this again." I said standing up and grabbing the mic.

We finished the play and we sucked. Badly. Matt's garage door opened to reveal Ray. He smiled. "I was never good at drums anyways. I'm in." He said walking further in. "Oh thank you so much!" I hugged him tightly. "Anything man." I smiled widely. "So, let's hear that song." I nodded and showed him the song track.

I arrived into the driveway and got off. Pete's car was here. I furrowed my brow and walked to the door. Just outside of the door I heard crashes and screeching. My eyes went wide and I quickly unlocked the door running in. Rain and Pete stood in front of each other. Rain's arms were crossed and she looked pissed. Her eyes were red and mascara was running down her pale cheeks. Pete was pretty angry himself. There was plates on the ground smashed and lamps and the couch was flipped over. Pete's shirt was torn and his arm bled and had teeth marks in it. Rain was wearing a crop top, skirt, no shoes, and her face was pretty beat up.She had a black eye and busted lip.

What the fuck happened? They just stood there, pissed. Breathing heavily and staring into each other's matching eyes. She blinked before I cleared my throat. Rain snapped up and her eyes partially softened. "Hey Gee-bear." She said softly. "Hey Love. What's going on?" I asked slowly dropping my keys. Pete spun around and looked at me. "She was at a fucking crackhouse! I came here to collect all of her drugs and pills. Then she attacked me! You know she has vampire teeth!" "Yeah so does Mikey, that shit hurts." I said remembering the time I tried to touch Mikey's Star Wars special edition DVD. I shivered. "Rain," I said slowly backing away so she wouldn't murder me.

"Let Pete take the drugs. He's right. This has gone to far, you need help." Tears filled her eyes as quickly as when Mikey bit me. "How can I get help! I'm broken Gerard. NOTHING CAN FIX ME!!!!! These things, help. They take the pain away. My depression goes away when I do them. Everything is better. This is my escape route." She sobbed. I knew it's bad when your only escape route is either killing yourself, getting drunk or drugs. "We can find you something else that can help with the pain. Other than drugs. You can't just do this to yourself Rain. You're hurting everyone. Especially yourself." I said going closer. She sobbed and I took her into my arms.

I looked at Pete and nodded slightly. I mouthed, "Run for them." I slowly traveled my hands to Rain's thighs and picked her up. "GET THEM PETE!!!!" I screeched. "FUCK YOU!!!!!" She screamed biting my own arm and I dropped her to the ground. "Fuck!" She scrambled up and tackled Pete. He dropped the bags and powder flew everywhere. "NOOOOO!!!!!" Rain shouted rushing to the powder and trying to save it. As she did this, I grabbed her and held her back looking at Pete and nodding. "Let go of me!!!" She squirmed. I held her tightly this time as Pete collected the bags and threw them into the toilet one by one. I made Rain watch. She moved and fussed, "GIVE THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!" She cried. When Pete finished, I let her go and she charged at him.

She hit his chest and sobbed, "THAT WAS THE ONE PURE HAPPINESS IN MY LIFE!! OTHER THAN GERARD THAT WAS MY HAPPINESS!" I couldn't help but smile at the fact I was one of her pure happiness. "Shh." he murmured trying to get her calm. She crumbled to the ground in sobs. She pounded her fists into the ground screaming. "Maybe when you're sober! You could find happiness in something else other than drugs!!!!!" Pete screeched. "WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU GET OFF MY BACK!" She screamed. I stepped in, "Promise us you will quit. Or at least try to get sober. Try to stay clean. Please." I pleaded tears in eyes. She looked to the ground and was lost in thought.

She bit her lip and looked up. More like glared. "Okay, I promise. I'll try to get sober. And clean." I smiled, "Look me in the eye." And she did. She repeated her promise and Pete said, "Starting now." He left the room to search everything. I watched Rain before saying, "Now, stand up and brush you teeth. Brush every last taste of drugs off your tongue and teeth. It will help." I informed. She sighed and stood slowly. She took her toothbrush and started to slowly brush her teeth as I watched. She then flossed and rinsed. She spit it all out before standing straight. "All clear." Pete informed. "I've gotten every pill and drug out of here." He said. I smiled and turned to Rain. "Your rehab starts now." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair and hugged me, "Thank you. I wanted to do this, I needed this. I was just in denial."

I nodded. "So, rehab starts now?" She asked.

I nod.

"Yes, rehab starts now.
