What's Wrong With Me

Nikki's POV
After about 3 or 4 songs I felt a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see it was Miss B. I took out my head phones and looked at her. "The meetiings are starting. Go stand in line." She said. I stood up and put my phone and headphones in my pocket then walked over and stood in line. I knew I wasn't going to get adopted so I don't understand why I'm here. After a couple minutes families started walking in. They went down the line and picked the child they wanted to meet. After about 6 families passed I couldn't take it anymore. They all looked at me in dusgust. I ran up stairs and headed for my room. On the way up I heard the front door close signaling either someone got adopted or another family just came in. I finally reached my room and slammed the door shut then went oer to my desk and began to draw in my journal. I was drawing a Dad. That's all I've ever wanted. A dad to take care of me. Who would hold me when I'm scared. That's all I've wanted since I was a little kid. I heard a knock on my door so I got up and opened it then sat back down atmy desk and continued my sketch. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see someone I thought I'd never see. It was Gerard Way. "Hi.. You okay? I saw you come up here and you looked pretty upset." He said. I looked over to my journal and closed it. Realizing thatby accident, I drew him. "Um... I.." I couldn't talk. "The other families didn't want you did they?" He asked leaning down to my eye level. I shook my head and my eyes welled with tears for the first time since I came here. "They just glared at me and walked on." I said. He hugged me. "It's okay." He said. "What's wrong with me Gerard?" I asked. He looked at me. "Nothing is wrong with you Hun. It's them. They just don't realize how unique people can be and they don't understand so they stay away from it... Wait did you just call me Gerard?" He asked. I smiled slightly and nodded. "You're a fan?" He asked. "Yeah... MCR is my favorite band." I said. He nodded and smiled at me. "So you know my name, what's yours?" He asked. "Nikki. Like Nikki Sixx." I said. "Cool. So Nikki, I'm looking for someone. Someone special that can be apart of my life. A kid maybe... How would you like to be my daughter?" He asked. I gasped and looked at him. "Yes... Please." I said jumping up and into his arms. He held me and twirled me around. "Let's go downstairs." He said. He set me down and we went downstairs. I led him to Miss B's office. I kmocked on the door and heard her reply with a 'come in'. I opened the door and we sat in chairs accross from her. "Hello Nikki, who's this?" She asked beaming a smile at me. "Hi, I'm Gerard Way." He said shaking her hand. "Hello Mr. Way." She said. "Oh please call me Gerard." He replied. "Ok Gerard, how may I help you this lovely day?" She asked. "Well I'd like to adopt Nikki today." He said smiling. "Okay, and I assume you've done an interview already?" She asked. "Yes Ma'am." I said. "Okay, here is the paperwork, while you do that I'm going to go help Nikki pack her things if that's alright with you." She said kindly. "Of course." He said. I stood up and begn the walk to my room. Miss B right on my tail. Once we were in there I closed the door. "Nikki this is so wonderful you're finaly getting a.dopted!" She beamed. I gave her a sad smile. "Yeah.. I guess." I said. "What's wrong Dear?" She asked. "I'm getting adopted... But that means I have to leave you." I said looking down. "Oh Sweetheart it's okay, you can come visit me anytime you like." She said hugging me. A few tears went down my cheeks as I nodded. We pulled away and she began to help me pack my things into 2 suitcases, my backpack, and some boxes. I put my clothes in 1 suitcase, my electronics the other, my school things were left in my backpack, and my bedding, pictures, and posters into 2 boxes. After we were done Gerard came up with the paperwork in hand. After he gave the paperwork to her she hugged me. "I'll tell Brittany to help take your things downstairs. Just give her the non-breakable thing. I know she's still gonna be miffed with you." She said leaving the room. Speaking of her I almost forgot. I walked over to my desk and grabbed my journalputting it into my backpack. When it was zipped the she-devil walked in. "What do you want me to take down?" She asked. "The suitcase on the left and the box on the right please." I said. She picked up the box and began taking them downstairs. I grabbed my backpack and suitcase and Gerard grabbed the last box. "Thank you." I said to him. He nodded and we decended the stairs. Brittany was standing by the door with my things and Gerard lead us to his car. We put everything in the back.I then turned around and Brittany was heading back inside. "Hey Britt!" I called. She turned around and walked back to me. "I'm sorry I blew up at you earlier." I said sheepishly. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gone into your room... But I had a good reason.. I knew you don'tlike people seeing your journal and one day I snuck in to see what was in it. At first I was disturbed. But then I was stunned. The deeper into it I got the greater your work got. I just thought someone else should see how great it was. So I left it on your desk on purpose. I showed Miss Blanchard because I wanted her to see how good they were." She said looking down. "You know, you could've just asked to see what was inside instead of sneaking into my room." I said smiling."Yeah. I realize that now. Just do me a favor?" She asked. "What is it?" I asked. "Never stop sketching. You're great and if you continue on the path you're going you'll do great things in life. That's why I was always giving you shit. I knew the more shit I gave you the less you'd ever give up. I'm sorry I was so hard though." She said. I nodded and hugged her. "Listen, I'll be back in a few days to visit. When I come back I want you to go with me some where no one but me and Miss B have been. Okay?" I said. She nodded. "Here." I handed her my skateboard. "I don't use it anymore. I mainly just use my longboard. I want you to put this to use. If you want you can sell it and get a better one. Or even get a longboard." I said smiling at her. "As long as you're by my side an you teach me, I will." She said holding it to her chest. "By the way,I admire you for being true to yourself. Not giving a care what people think of you... You have great taste in music. And to be honest.. I hate these clothes. I just wear them so I can fit in." She said. "If you don't like them, don't wear them. Sell them and buy what you want." I said. She nodded and looked over to Gerard who was walking towards us. "You ready to go kiddo?" He asked. "Hold on I forgot something." I said. He nodded and then got into the car. I ran inside and to Miss B's office. I went in and gave her a hug. I'll be back whne I can to visit.... I love you Miss B." I said. Tears welled in her eyes. "I love you too Nikki." She said. I released her from the hug then left and got in the car with Gerard. It was a 20 minute drive to his house. He actually didn't live that far away from the orphanage. That would make things so much easier to visit!
