The Paper Kingdom
Summary
Jessie Iero had no idea what she was getting herself into when she agreed to help her cousin, Frank, with a "musical project." Before long, she's a permanent replacement for the drummer in the struggling band My Chemical Romance. Not only that, but she is beginning to fall for the introverted, cold-hearted lead singer, Gerard Way.
gerard
Gerard Way loves his best friend to pieces, but asking a stupid teenager to fill in for their drummer is conclusive evidence that Frank was dropped on his head as a child. The girl is seventeen, how could she be expected to be in the band full time? And how could Gerard be expected not to fall in love with the beautiful little twat?
The intertwining tale of two people who share not only a love for making music but also a secret love for each other.
I do not own any of the members of MCR or any celebrities that'll pop up here and there (though I wish I did!) I do, however, own all original characters and the plot line.
