Dear diary...

"Gerard Way, do you take Lindsey Ballato to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage?"
"I do." He said while smiling at her broadly
"Lindsey Ballato, do you take Gerard Way to be your wedded husband, to live together in marriage?"
"I do." She said while giving him the sweetest look I've ever seen.
"By the power vested in me by the State of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride"
They both kissed, there was something poetic about the ceremony itself. It wasn't a big fancy wedding but it was were most of us belonged; backstage, after a big show, where the magic usually gets set up. They approached the few people there to be able to greet them, apparently no one had idea this would happen. Mikey was hugging Gerard and Frank was greeting Lynz.
"Hey little misfit"
"Congrats, Lynz, I've never seen any of you so happy"
"He's thrilled isn't he? I'm so glad you came"
"I would never miss the wedding of my partner in crime"
"I love you so much, thank you for introducing us. I mean, if it weren't for you we wouldn't be together"
"I never thought this would happen but I'm so happy for you two, I'm not crying because I'm freezing but I hope you have a great time together"
"Yeah, we're going to LA and afterwards probably London. He's excited about it, sounds like a perfect honeymoon place"
We talked for a while until Gerard came along and hugged her.
"Mrs. Way, are you ready for your flight?"
They both smiled and left the venue holding hands. As I watched them go away I couldn't hep to think about my situation. I mean, I knew it was TOO early to think about marriage but... Things were actually pretty good. Living together these past few weeks had been a very enriching experience. For example, I learned that he doesn't like oregano on his pizza or that his coffee can't have more than tree tea spoons of sugar, that he snores when he has nightmares and as soon as he wakes up he doesn't even say good morning but pees immediately. Yeah, that last one was a hard lesson. I woke up before him and was undressing myself to get in the shower. He ran in the bathroom and peed in front of me, apparently he didn't see me. Awkward? Yes, very much.
"Honey?"
"Yes?"
"Shall we make our way home? My family is already waiting for us" he said while kissing my cheek
"Sure, I'm a bit nervous but let's do this"
"Come, my love"
"Hey..."
"Yes?"
"No never mind, Frankie, let's go"
"Sure?"
"Yeah babe, let's go I'm freezing"

After a two hour drive we finally made it to Belleville. He parked in front of a cream coloured house, it had several types of flowers growing in the front lawn they looked like they were extremely taken care of.
"This is my mom's place"
"Is your dad coming?"
"Yeah, he said he'd be here by midnight, I think it'll be a nice evening"
"Do you think she'll like me?"
"She'll love you, she's seen us in Kerrang together"
"Oh boy... We were all over each other on that issue"
"Not that one, we've been having articles on that magazine ever since we started dating. Apparently, they saw us having dinner the other night, in the nice Italian place I took you. Remember?"
"Really? No privacy, huh"
"You're dating the amazing Frank Iero, what did you expect?"
"Amazing? Pffff"
He grabbed my hands and kissed me passionately.
"Ok yes, amazing indeed"
He laughed and took a glimpse at the house
"Let's go in, I'm freezing"
He opened the door for me and grabbed my waist as we made our way to the front door. Before we could touch the door knob a sweet looking woman with hazel eyes opened the door enthusiastically.
"Paco, you made it!" Said the woman while hugging him, "is this the beautiful young lady with you in that magazine?"
"Yeah mom, this is Alex"
"Good evening, Mrs. Iero"
"Oh, call me Linda. It's so nice to finally meet you, I've heard about you non stop!"
I blushed immediately and pressed Frank's hand due to extreme nervousness.
"Come inside, lovebirds, it's freezing outside"
As we made our way inside, I could see several family pictures hung across the main hall. Most of them looked like a younger looking Frank and a few wedding pictures. It was weird because his parents were divorced.
I had stayed behind looking at the pictures, Frank had gotten inside the kitchen. Voices and laughter were heard from the distance.
"Son! It's so good to see you! It's been so long, we haven't seen each other since Houston, right?"
"Yeah, dad, uhm... I want you to meet someone"
I hurried myself inside the kitchen almost stumbling upon my own feet and smiled shyly.
"This is -"
"Alex Myers, the granddaughter of great Matthew Myers"
"What?" Asked Frank as he looked at me perplexed
"Uhm, yes, my grandfather is Matthew Myers."
"The greatest drummer I've ever seen, how's he doing?"
"He's great, him and my grandma are living in Cairo right now"
"Wow, tell him Anthony Iero says hi"
"I sure will, sir" I said while I smiled at Frank's dad
"So, kids, Linda over here told me you're dating. Is that true?"
"Yeah, we've been seeing each other since warped. In fact, the day after you left, she replaced a fellow guitar player and I met her"
"I hope Paco here didn't give you a hard time, he sometimes is too eager about stuff"
"Oh not at all Mr. Iero, Pa-Frank has been great with me these past few months"
We talked for a few hours about my musical side of the family, they told me a few slightly embarrassing Frank anecdotes and we had Christmas dinner. I felt really tired, the wedding and the long drive from back and forth had worn me out completely. As soon as I finished dinner and helped Linda with the dishes I excused myself and fell asleep in the guest room they had for me. Everything turned out better than expected, Frank's family was very nice to me. I think I actually fit in with them.
I took my clothes off and put on one of Frank's band shirts. I wrapped myself on the comfy bed Linda prepared for me and fell asleep.

Frank's P.O.V.:
Alex had gone to bed quickly, I couldn't blame her. I could tell she was really tired, usually when she gets sleepy her eyes start to itch. She looks like a little girl when she rubs them.
I stayed up because I felt the need to talk with both of my parents, I needed some alone with them.
"Mom, dad, I need to talk to both of you. Would you mind going in the living room?"
"Sure, son, is something wrong?" Asked my father while sitting on the couch next to me
"Well... These past months I've been living with Alex and I really like her. I know it's soon and probably the fact that Gerard got married got into me but... I want to ask Alex to marry me"
My mom stood up and gave a strange look, "Frankie, this young girl loves you and I can tell you love her too but... This has happened before"
"Mom, it's not the same situation, I was 19 back then and..."
My father had a blank stare, "we know Lisa's back"
"Yeah? So?"
"Frank, you don't get it, she'll never leave you two alone. I think it's best-"
"Don't fucking say it dad, I love Alex"
"Sweetheart we know you do but you aren't a safe person to be around"
"What do you mean? We've been okay these past few months, I mean... She only attacked her once"
"What?" Asked my father as he stood up
"Lisa sorta kidnapped Alex after I finished touring"
"See, she's not safe with you"
"She is... I'll take good care of her"
"Just like your niece?"
"That was different"
"Frank, she left the continent because of Lisa. What if she pushes Alex to do the same?"
"Yes, sweetie, I think you should end things with Alex. You guys will never be left alone, you're both big rock stars now"
"I won't end things up with her, I'm marrying her whether you like it or not"
"Okay, do it then, but only under one conditional"
"What is it?"
"Lisa has to be sent away to Asia, I won't let that young lady wander around America and harm your sweet and caring girlfriend"
"Okay, I'll send her away"
"Get a restriction order and press charges, Alex is now like a daughter to me. I want to make sure both of you will be okay"
"I know dad... I will take care of everything"
"Frankie, sweetie, you know what this means right?"
"Uhm..."
"I expect grandchildren soon"
"Mom!"
"Your mother's right. We want to see you two have a calm prosper life, like we once did"
"Guys... You're divorced since I was 4"
"Yeah but before that things were different, weren't they Linda?"
"Sure they were, Anthony. Your mother was such a pain sometimes... That old lady never let me do things my way..."
"Linda, she was just concerned about me like any Italian mother"
"Oh, Anthony, please! She-"
"Okay guys, I'm leaving you two alone. I'll go check on Alex. Good night"
They didn't even hear me, they started bugging each other about their life before they got divorced. They weren't one of those couples who had a shitty divorce, they looked like best friends or even siblings arguing about silly stuff just to bug each other.
I walked inside the guest room, the door wasn't closed. I peeked through the gap.
"Hello, Iero"
"Bert."
