Changes (Gerard Way Fan-Fiction)

“You know, you don't have to go. Just stay here with me and Leila. We'll find you a job and a house and what ever you need to keep going. Just please, stay.” was everything I heard even though there was so much noise around us.
I always hated airports, they stand for leaving and not coming back for a, for my liking, too long amount of time. “You know I would if I could...but I can't. My parents...” I started but was cut off by Leila which was holding Mex' hand tightly.
“Your parents shouldn't do that to you!” she yelled, tears running down both her cheeks. A weak smile made its way onto my face. In some ways, she was right. I lived in England for my entire life and now, with 17 years, they make me move away from my old life. America. An other thing I always hated. Even though I've never been there and never met one of them I don't like Americans at all. These people and their patriotism, only hearing it makes me sick.
“I know Leila, but think about it that way. I'm 17, there is one yeah of school left and then...” I began to speak and made my way over to her, embracing her into a bone crushing hug which lasted much of short “...I will come back and we'll be together forever. Us three.” I motioned for Mex to join our hug which he did. There we were hugging each other and crying like there is no tomorrow. I can't help but think about how wonderful it is to have someone around you who actually cares. And hell, I don't even dare to doubt that those two people here do care.
I met Leila in first grade. We didn't come along pretty well at first. I used to pull her hair until she was crying and didn't say sorry afterward. But no matter how mean I was towards her, she always forgave me. There were times where I kept asking myself whether she is even my friend and where I was sure that I didn't deserve to call such a wonderful person my friend but I guess I accepted it throughout the years. Best decision ever.
“You need to call us as soon as you arrive.” Mex mumbled into my neck which made it hard to understand him but I got it anyway. “Of course I will, silly.” I answered while letting go of both of them and ruffling through his dark locks.
I met Mex when Leila and I started High School. He was a lonely but adorable kid. Always helpful and always nice. Well, that was until Leila and me became closer with him. It came out that he is a sarcastic, artistic, sometimes sadistic, cocky bitch but hell, I love him exactly because of that. It was hard to come along with him at first because he kept snapping at us and all and but we soon learned that this was just how he is. He is also a very dedicated guy. Fuck with me or Leila and you will gain a fist in your face.
“Ty, I really don't what to interrupt this “good-bye” but we gotta go.” my mum said from behind me, placing her hand on my shoulder soothingly. I closed my eyes and let out a deep sight. “Alright Mum, one second.”.
Leila, Mex and I shared a very last hug for a god knows how long time. By then, I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. “I gonna miss you so much, guys.” I whispered. We separated ourselves from each other and Leila kissed my head softly “So will me, Taylor. Now go and never ever forget us.” she whispered back which made me smile immediately. She always knew what she was supposed to say. “Good bye, love.” added Mex with a kiss on my head, similar to Leila's and let go of me.
Turning around, there were my parents, waiting for me with a suffering smile on their faces. I knew that they didn't want to do that to me but they had no other change. I was clever enough to know this. Three months ago my Dad got an offer from his boss to work in New Jersey. The money he would earn is twice as much as he earns now but my Dad being my Dad said no because of me and my education. I was the one who said that it was okay because I was well aware of the fact that we had no money, even though Mum and Dad tried their best to hide it. So, he ended up accepting the offer and here we are. Cases in our hands and as ready as one can be leave his or her old life behind to start a new one on the other side of the planet.
I turned around one last time and waved my two best friends in the entire world good bye: “Until we meet again.” I whispered and disappeared in the long hallway towards the plain which would be bring to my new home.
Jersey was rainy as hell that day which made me feel at home immediately. In the end of the day, I'm still from England. The taxi ride was pretty quiet except from Mum being super excited now and then and lasted about an hour. My Dad didn't say anything at all.
As we arrived in front of our new house, I was stunned at first. It looked beautiful! There were flowers all around and almost the entire house was covered in green. The mat in front of the front door said “Welcome Home!” which made me smile slightly. “Here we are!” Mum yelled while practically jumping out of the car. “Do you like it so far?” Dad said, approaching next to me and placing his arm round my shoulder. “Judging the book by its cover, I'd definitely say yes.” I said which brought a smile onto his lips. My Mum was the one with the keys and opened the door without even bothering to bring the cases. I guessed, that this would be mine and Dads job later.
As the front door opened we were greeted by a small hallway which ended in a giant room which seemed to be the living room. The room had big windows which made every lamp unnecessary. There was a couch and a television already, plus some other smaller furniture. “Go, chose your room, darling.” said Mum, pushing me slightly. Revealing the stairs to my left, I gave Mum a questioning look: “Upstairs?”. She didn't responded, instead she just nod and made her own way to explore the new home, closely followed by Dad.
Leaving the stairs behind only within seconds I stood in front of an other hallway, two doors and each side and one in the very back. Deciding that the first one the left side should be the first one, I opened the door and found a quiet tiny room. “I hope there are bigger once.” I muttered to myself, already knowing that this wouldn't be the chosen one. The next door I opened was the one opposite the room I just saw. A bathroom. I wasn't going to live here, as well. “At least, I hope so.” I added jokingly. The next two rooms had the same size. The walls were an ugly yellow and the lack of posters and pictures made them seem dull and boring, but I was going to change that anyway, as soon as I decided which one should be mine.
There was only one room left which was the one in the far back. When I opened the door I wasn't greeted by a room as I expected, but by more stairs leading upwards. After having an inner monologue with myself about whether I should really climb those stairs up as well because I was a lazy-ass, I decided that I should do it, just in case there is something super awesome up there... . And hell, was I right!
As I reached the top of the stairs, I saw a wall right in front of me, only leaving about one and a half meter space, almost like an other tiny hallway. On each side of the hallway-like thing was room, separated from each other. Two rooms in one?! “This is so going to be mine.” I whispered to myself because I liked talking to myself, as one can already guess. The left room included sink which was good because so I could get ready more easily in the early mornings of hell..I mean school. The right room was separated again by a wall which made the one half almost seem like a cave. This was an awesome place for the bed. One couldn't get more privacy. My parents had to go around three edges to finally reach the bed which is always a good thing, as every teenage boy and girl knows.
I didn't even had to think twice about which room I'd chose. Instead I was already thinking about how I could paint the walls and anything while I made my way back down to where my parents where.
“Hey.” I greeted them, still smiling from ear to ear. “Looks like someone found her room?” my Dad said. “Hell yes. The attic it is.” I answered while checking the yet empty fridge. They didn't answer immediately which didn't concern me too much. “But Ty, you're gonna be so far away.” Mum whined and pouted her lower lip. Sometimes I wonder who actually is the child in this household. “Mum please!! It's SO amazing up there!” I yelled, pouting my lip just like her. My Mum and Dad gave me a glare: “This isn't fair, you know we can't resist those puppy eyes!” Dad yelled jokingly. “Is this a yes?” I asked overly curious. “Sure, whatever.” Mum mumbled and waved it away as if it would be nothing. I squealed in excitement and hugged the both of them immediately. “Thank you!” “It's no problem.” Dad said, patting my back soothingly.
For the rest of the day we planed how we were going to use the weekend. It was Friday which meant that I had two and the rest of today straight to make my room look pretty. While Dad and I went shopping and by shopping I mean buying colors and tape and everything you need to paint a room, Mum went meeting the new neighbors.
I ended up painting my room in a nice, dark red, light gray and a bit black here and there. Didn't want the entire room to seem like a cave, only the edge with the bed which found it's final place one day later, Saturday. The painting was done within hours, thanks to Mum and Dad and the furniture was slowly but surely filling in the emptiness. The deep red couch in front of the black wall looked awesome and the flat screen on the other side wasn't bad, as well. My aunt gave it to me as a goodbye-present.
Sunday, the furniture had found its final place and left were only my painting and posters which would give the room a bit more charm. The painting I decided were good enough to hang on my wall were placed all around my desk, while all the posters of various bands were placed around my stereo-sound system, my baby.
And that was it. My overly awesome room was done besides some unimportant, small things but I could do that later. The rest of the day consisted of helping out my parents with some furniture and stuff like that but besides from that video-games and music. Mainly, both of it at the same time because fighting The Sleeper as the Nameless Hero while Avenged plays in the background is more than epic, let me tell you that.
Around 9 pm I packed my bag for school the next the. I couldn't help but feel nervous about it. Knowing no one in school sucks, it already did when I started High School and that's when no one knows no one. This time, I'm going to be the only one being all on her own...hell, I'm going to be such a looser.
It's not like I have any anxieties or anything but I'm a awkward kind of person I guess. Like, if someone tries to talk to me and I don't know what to say after a while, I'd sure as hell come up with the “nice weather today”-question. That's the kind of person I am. I like music, video-games and comics. I hate big amounts of people and I like to be on my own. For example, I love the idea of living alone one day. Not with a boyfriend or whatever, just me and a cat maybe. I don't talk much but I can talk to people even though reluctantly most of the time. I pretend to not hear people talking to me by putting on my headphones, even though I sure as hell can hear them. I role my eyes about thousand times a day and am annoyed by almost everything. So yeah, I'm going to be on my own here for a while, I guess. Maybe that is the reason why I never made a friend after I met Mex? Maybe.
My ICE of thoughts was cut off by someone opening the door. “Taylor, are you in here?” Mum whisper-yelled. What time is it that she whisper-yelled? “Yeah.” I answered. “I still can't decided whether I like that your sleeping place is that hidden or not.” Mum said jokingly while making her way towards me. I chuckled in respond. “I sure as hell do.”
“Well, I just wanted to say good night. It's getting late and you should go to bed. Tomorrow's school!” she clapped her hands in an attempt to act overly excited. After a sarcastic answer and a kiss on the cheek I told her good night as well and prepared myself for sleep.
Not long after, I felt my eyelids go heavy and before I knew it, I was asleep.
