Gerard's pov*

Another family?.. Oh joy!.. What's this?.. 37th times the charm?.. Don't make me laugh.
Don't get me wrong though, Maggie TRIES.. But no one out there wants a fucked up head case like me living with them.
There!.. I admit it!.. I'M FUCKED UP!.. But it's not exactly my fault, ya know!?.. It's those bastards 9 years ago that did it for me.. They royally screwed me over.. Destroyed any chance I had of a normal, happy childhood.. Or life for that matter.
I KINDA remember my family, like bits and pieces of a dream.. I remember my mum's long blonde hair, always a mess.. Her pancakes on a Saturday morning, and dad singing in the shower while she cooked them.. And I remember Mikey!.. He used to follow me around and get under my feet and steal and break all my toys.. But what I wouldn't give to see him just one more time.
Maggie tried to find out where he was last year, but he'd been moved around a lot too, though not as much as me, and she couldn't track him through the system.. You'd think there was some national computer database or something, wouldn't ya?!.. Some way to for social workers to find specific kids.. But no!.. Apparently not.
This new one, Linda, was it? Is a single mum with a son just a bit older than me, from what I can gather.. I don't have a great track record with other teenagers.. There was Lucas, who thought I was deaf, and spent three weeks shouting down my ear.. Then there was Kyle and Maddison, the twins, who thought it hilarious to beat the shit out of me every time their parents went out the house.. Oh, and after THEM, was Robert.. And I'd rather not talk about him, thank you very much.
There have been others, far too many to name, most of which I can't even recall now.. ALL of which hated me, of course.
I don't have great expectations for this move, even if Maggie does, guess we'll see tomorrow.
I am the freaky little kid who doesn't talk and doesn't eat and won't let anyone touch me.. I'm that weird kid in the back of the class who everyone avoids, unless it's to kick my head in.. I'm THAT kid!
Oh, by the way, cos I don't think I mentioned.. My name's Gerard, Gerard Way.. And I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna make it to 15.
Welcome to my SHITTY life!..

Notes

Hi there chipmunks.. How you all doing?
I actually have a good excuse for disappearing for the last week.. I was in hospital.. WITH NO INTERNET!!!... It was torture!.. That and the 6 operations, and only being allowed to eat jello, and well.. I was on the brink of madness, and have now, FINALLY come home, and have about a thousand updates to read!!.. But I didn't waste my time in there.. I wrote several chapters, and even began a new fic, so now I'm back, from outer space.. (sorry!) and really excited to get back to this.
Please comment, stay safe, and peace out babies!
