It was currently one in the morning. Alexia was sat in Gerard's room as Donna talked to Mikey and Gerard.

She knew she shouldn't have, but she eavesdropped.

"What do you mean?" Gerard asked

"I mean... Your father is moving out" Donna said flatly "I'm not having him in this house if he's going to act this way, and besides he made the decision first."

"I'm sorry..." Mikey choked "Micheal this is not your fault. Sure you got mad but HE didn't have to take it that far."

"Mom he wouldn't have gotten angry If I had just kept my cool!" Mikey sobbed "Mikey. Dad didn't have to pin you down like that" Gerard intervened...

This was all Alexia's fault... Or so she thought...

If she hadn't of moved in, Mikey would still have his work. Don would still be living there and generally, they would just be better off and happier.

Quietly she stood up and walked into her room, careful not to draw any attention. Quickly packing her things she wrote out a note to mainly Gerard.

I'm sorry... This was my fault... If your parents hadn't of adopted me you guys would still be a family... Mikey wouldn't be suspended for defending me or grounded for hitting me, he'd still have his project and Donald would still have a house to live in. All this happened because I came into your lives... But that's okay. I'm gone and you all don't have to worry anymore, You can all forgive each other and work things out... I'm sorry I caused so much trouble... I should be fine... But if I'm not, well... Oh well.

Stay safe xx, Alexia.

She heard the conversation still going on and so she snuck back into Gerard's room and place the note on his pillow.

Deciding it'd be pointless to go back into her room she opened Gerards' window and threw her things down, before crawling out herself and climbing down the tree. Jumping over a fence she proceeded down the sidewalk and away from where she caused the most trouble.

Meanwhile. Gerard had just found the note she had left and was all but sobbing

"Fuck, Mom!" He shouted, in panic "She just left" Mikey said from his brother's doorway "Whats wrong?" Gerard looked up, tears in his eyes "Alexia..." Mikey's face fell "What?!" He came closer

"She ran away, Call Mom, I'm going out to look for her!"

"Gerard! its 1amyou cant go alone!"

"Shes fucking out there alone, Mikes. Fuck that I'm going after her. Fucking call Mom!" Gerard rushed out tears in his eyes.

He picked up his phone and clicked on Franks number


"Hello?" Frank grumbled sleepily "Fucking wake up, Alexia is missing" Gerard almost sobbed. This alerted Frank "Fuck, okay I'll call Ray see if he can help find her too" Frank rushed

"Thank you, Frankie"

-

Alexia looked around the area she was in, in utter defeat. and she was starting to think this was a bad idea... But then she remembered all the shit she's caused and kept going. She walked so far that she ended up in a terribly bad neighborhood.

Swallowing thickly she looked around,

"Hey kid" A voice grunted behind her, she turned around and waved "Give me your fucking money" He ordered, She shook her head "Cant talk eh?" she shrugged and looked down "Yes or no"

"I can talk" She whispered

"Good, now give me your fucking money"

"I... I'm broke..." She sniffled

"I'll give you 10 seconds to run before my knife enters your abdomen."

Her eyes widened and she was off again.

-

"She's not answering her phone!" Gerard sobbed out, Frank and he had met up and they were now driving all over trying to find her. "Gee, breathe, We'll find her" Frank reassured, even though he wasn't sure himself.

"Did she say why she did it?" Frank asked, "She said it is because she thinks she's broken our family apart." Gerard sighed "But she fucking didn't and now she's gone and I should have kept an eye on her I could ha-" "Gerard, you were talking with your mom, you couldn't prevent this, she couldn't have prevented this Mikey couldn't have prevented this. This was Alexia's decision" Frank snapped. "And I'm not saying this is Alexia's fault either. I know how dark your thoughts can get, She got over stimulated and her fight or flight kicked in."

Gerard looked out Franks window, trying not to cry.

then his phone started ringing.

"Hello?" He answered his phone "Gerard?" Mikey asked, "Fuck, Mikey did you find her?" There was a sigh from the other end "No but I called mom and she called the cops. I also called Pete who called Camila and Colson." "Fuck okay..."

-

Alexia was now in an even worse spot than before, she was currently cornered by three, very large, very scary looking men.

"C'mon kid, We know you have something. Mommy and Daddy's old possession, Money, valuables... Your virginity. Your choice pumpkin" One of the men purred, She shook her head and cowered further into the corner "You give us what we want or we kill you" A chunkier man growled raising his gun "Pl-Please" She sobbed "I hav-have nothing, I've never had anything... Ever." She cried... She was seriously regretting coming this way.

"Fucking get her, The man with the gun ordered, She let out a scream as the guy grabbed her. She could have sworn she saw head lights but it was probably false hope.

The pistol was placed to her forehead "Do you still not have anything to give us" tears rolled down her cheeks "I swear" She sobbed "STOP!!" A voice practically screeched, she didn't dare move though "Please... Don't shoot" Gerard screamed, the guy gave a sick smirk and cocked his gun making Gerard and Frank's heart hurt, Frank felt as if he were going to be sick and Gerard was on the verge of passing out.

"She doesn't have anything to give, Except her life'' the guy with the gun sneered.

"I will give you money if you let her go" Frank bargained.

"Give us the money AND my buddy gets to fuck her" Alexia all but threw up at his words... This couldn't happen... They wouldn't let that happen.

"All the money in my wallet" Frank offered, trying to get her out of this

"All of your money, From both of you, If we approve of the amount you've given us your little cum bag walks away safely if it's not enough we shoot her, but wont kill her. If you decline this offer, it's her Forehead... Your choice"

Gerard sobbed loudly, covering his face with his hands

"Shoot me instead" Gerard pleaded, Praying they would listen

"That's not the deal gay boy. You either leave here broke and her alive or with money and her dead. Only options."

Gerard finally collapsed in a panic attack knowing there was no other way out of this "Something. Anything" Frank pleaded.

"You have ten seconds to make up that faggot mind of yours before you have a dead whore on your hands. The guy warned and Gerard practically screamed out a sob, handing his wallet to Frank "F-F-FOR FUCK SAKES PLEASE, FRANKIE MAKE A DECISION!" Alexia pleaded with so much desperation.

"FUCKING THREE!"

Frank rushed his wallet out.

"TWO"

"HERE!!!" Frank sobbed, panicking "PLEASE, FUCKING PLEASE" He gasped out, holding out about 200 dollars in his hand, the one holding Alexia released her and the guy with the gun took the money. Frank grabbed on to Alexias arm and yanked her towards him "Too bad, 100 short"

No one had time to think before a bullet had entered Alexia and she collapsed with a scream "NO!" Frank shouted as she fell to the dirty ground and the guys fled.

Gerard let out a heartbreaking sob and doubled over, shaking. "Alexia, Fucking look at me"
Frank pleaded, Applying pressure to the gunshot wound that entered on her side "I-I'm so-so-so" "Shhhh, Stop. Save your energy. Just concentrate on keeping your eyes open."

"Gerard fucking pull it together, get us to the hospital" Frank demanded while lifting Alexia up"

"Fra-Frank" He sobbed "Do you want her to fucking die!" Gerard shook his head quickly and pushed himself up off the ground.

"Ca-Call Mikey. Te-Tell him to Ca-" "I'm on it, Calm down and drive"

Alexias eyes started to drift close, Frank took notice "Ay, Eyes on me, Don't lose it, Lex, Don't you dare fucking lose it"


"Lose what?" Mikey answered, "Fuck, Mikey, call your mom, It's Alexia, She got shot."

Mikey's heart stopped "She fucking what?!"

"Eye's open, Fuck Lexy please" Frank pleaded "FRANK WHAT HAPPENED WHATS GOING ON"

"GERARD DON'T FUCKING WORRY ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT SHES DYING! I'll explain, meet us at the hospital, Call fucking Donna!" Frank hung up swiftly and applied pressure to Alexias wound again.

"I ca-can't" She mumbled, closing her eyes "OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES NOW!" He shouted.

a few seconds later there were flashing lights in the rearview "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE PULL OVER GERARD, WERE RIGHT THERE, THEY CAN FUCKING FOLLOW US!"

"I WASNT PLANNING ON STOPPING" Gerard shouted back with just as much panic.

Making a sharp right turn into the parking lot, the cop followed suit.

"Fuck gee licen-" "Always have it on me get her in there now!" Frank nodded and rushed inside.

"PLEASE" Frank choked "I NEED HELP PLEASE!"

"I'm sory Frankie" Alexia sighed before finally going limp, just as a doctor came around "Shit, NEED BACK UP" "Sir what happened" Frank swallowed thickly "She got shot" She nodded

Seconds later Alexia was whisked away.

Frank then let the full effect hit him and he collapsed in a fit of tears and uneven breathing.

-

"I needed to get my sister to the hospital, That's the only reason, She got shot, I swear, I couldn't let her fuckin die, Pl-please" Gerard pleaded, not being able to stop the sobbing now.

"Who shot her" The officer questioned

"So-some guy, he... He wanted money, it... It wasn't enough"

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

Gerard shook his head

"My friend... He would know..."

"Which friend"

"Fr-Frank, he's in there"

Gerard leads the officer into the hospital and over to frank, Who answered the questions as good as possible.

"Thank you, gentlemen, I will do a follow up later, My condolences."

---

"Where is she?!" Donna sobbed as she ran into the hospital "She's in surgery, Sh was responsive just before they took her in" Frank informed "Oh god... I should have had her out in the living room, Mikey told me what was on the note, It's not her fault, I've been thinking of kicking Don out for a while now... Oh my baby"

Gerard stood up and hugged his mother, who hugged back tightly "Wheres Mikey?" He sniffled "Calling everyone to tell them where she is, He should be here with in the hour."

Gerard nodded "I'm sorry momma... I should have kept an eye on her" Donna shook her head "I should have had her with us so I could ressure her it wasnt her fault" She sobbed...

-

"Where is she, Is she okay? Fuck tell me she's okay?" Mikey choked out when he got to the hospital. "Still in surgery."

"Whos here for... Alexia... Way?"

Gerard's head snapped up and he briskly walked over, the others following behind

"How is she" He nearly sobbed out

"Alive, Stable." They all nodded.

"Can we see her?" the nurse frowned, Not quite yet. We will let you know when. I'm so sorry that this happened. If any of you need someone to talk to, there is a confrence room and we can set you up with someone."

They all nodded and watched her walk away.

None of them spoke, they all sat in silence, praying that she'd be okay.
