It was cold and dark, she laid on her bed, she didnt bother to get up and grab a sweater. It was warm outside but the house was chilly.

'I must have turned the heat off,' she thought to herself.

She didnt really see the point of having heat in the house when there was only one person in the house. This place used to be a lot warmer, it used to be filled with laughter and light but in a matter of one week, it has turned in to a cold cave with no light and no laughter. Just tears of anger and frustration. She felt her life ending a week ago, when she got an unexpected and unwanted call. Everything was over, just in 5 minutes. She shouldn't have answered the phone. She should have ignored it, then maybe she wouldnt be laying on her bed wishing she was dead. She played that one day in her head over and over again.

Flashback*

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Nadia Walker?"

"Yes, it is. Who is this may I ask?"

"This is Jim Light, I'm in the police department of Vancouver, I'm very sorry to inform you Miss Walker, but your parents have been involved in a terrible car accident."

"Oh dear god.. Oh my god.. Are they ok?" She asked as she tried to control her shaky hands.

"No, I'm afraid not, They were both dead at the scene. I'm very sorry, someone has gone to your house to pick you to bring you to the hospital. She should be there very soon."

Nadia didnt respond.

"I'll see you when you get to the hospital Nadia." Then he hung up the phone.

Nadia dropped the portable phone that was in her hands, her eyes were wide, and was staring off to space. She tried to put together all the words she had just heard but failed. Tears started rolling off her cheeks, she didn't know what to do. Then the doorbell rang.

She slowly walked down the stairs and answered the door.

"Hi, you must be Nadia, I'm Shannon, I'm here to take you to the hospital."

"O.K." Nadia responded, putting her shoes on.

"Im very sorry about your parents. We'll get you in to foster care right away." Shannon tried to comfort Nadia.

Nadia walked towards the car without responding. The car ride was awkward and seemed to be too long. When she got to the hospital, she was greeted by Jim.

"Where are they?" Asked Nadia, ignoring Jims words.

She was led to a room with two beds. She slowly walked over to the first bed and lifted the white cover. It was her mom, laying on the bed, she looked so peaceful. Then Nadia walked over to the next bed. It was her dad, he almost looked like he had a smile on his face.

*Back*

"Well, at least they got to go together." Nadia whispered to herself, snapping out of the thousand thoughts running through her mind.

The phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hi Nadia, this is Shannon. I have some things to go over with you. Could we meet? I can pick you up in about 15 minutes."

About 25 minutes later.

Nadia was now sitting at a coffee house with Shannon. She used to actually enjoy sitting at this coffee house but now she felt uncomfortable with Shannon sitting across from her.

"We can't let you live by yourself because you're only 16. You dad's will had stated that everything he owned would go to you and your mom. Since your mom passed away as well, you get everything he had saved up. You could sell the house because you are now the owner, take the savings he had in his bank account and put it toward your school or anything you want. I have a family I want to introduce to you. I think you'll like them."

"I dont see how you think I would like them. You barely know anything about me.."

"Well, Ive been doing this long enough to be able to figure it out just a bit."

"Alright. So are they going to adopt me?"

"If you decide that you like the family and they like you, then yes, thats basically what will happen."

Few months later..

"Nadia! Wake up man! Time to go to school!"

"Shut up Mike."

"You have to go to school! Youll be getting out of school in few weeks. You dont want to miss your classes now!" Mike said as he pulled at her arm.

"Fuck you." Was Nadia's respond.

"Nadiaaaaa!" Sean came running from his room.

"Im up! Shut up you fuckers! Now get out so I can get ready." Nadia yelled at the top of her lungs and sat up on her bed.

She had met the family Shannon was talking about, and she really did like them, there was something about the weird and nice parents and amazingly nice and funny boys that she really liked. Her new parents, Sandy and Joel traveled a lot, leaving Nadia and her 3 new brothers at home for the wild parties they threw. She hasn't gotten around to calling her new parents mom or dad but she really did like them and she knew that they all cared about her a lot and she felt like she is really their family.

"K, I'm ready to go now."

"No breakfast?" Mike asked, holding a box of Nadias favorite organic cereal.

"Nah, not too hungry, plus, I don't have much time."

"Alright, but make sure you buy some lunch."

"Haha, ok." Nadia laughed at how Mike was like a mother, telling her to buy lunch. Mike cared about Nadia, he wanted her to know that they all love her like a sister.

"Let's go Nadia" Joey called from the door.

"Bye Mike!" Nadia said as she walked out the door with Sean and Joey.

After school, Nadia waited for Sean and Joey to pick her up. Nadia wanted to stay at her old high school, even though it was a little far from her house.

When she got home, she looked for Mike. She found him in the basement. They had their own studio in the basement and Mike and his band often recorded in the studio. Mike was playing his guitar, it was his song on his bands new album.

"Sounds good Mike."

"Thanks,"

"Are you going on tour soon?" Nadia asked as she sat down next to him.

"Yeah, it's going to be awesome, the other bands are all my friends."

"Really? Thats good."

"Yeah, some of them are coming out here to stay with use for a few days actually. Then we're all going to catch a flight to LA together. They want to relax before going on tour."

"How long are you going for?"

"About 3 months."

"Shit, thats a long time. I'll be so bored without you!"

"Aww, well, we're going on warped tour in the summer, you should come on tour with me."

"Really? You'd want me to go with you?"

"Yeah, it'll be awesome, and maybe you can be our merch girl, it's hard to find someone you can trust with all the money you know."

"Yeah. I would love to do that When are your friends coming?"

"In like 3 days. I should have told you but I've just been lost lately."

"That's fine. Can't wait to meet your "famous" friends.Haha.. Do I know any of them?"

"Haha, yeah you know who they are. You're going to love them."

"Who are they?" Nadia asked with a huge smile on her face.

"You'll see."

Chapter 2

Nadia was exctied to find out who Mike's friends were.

3 days later

Ding-dong. Nadia heard people walk in to the house, her heart was beating fast, she was nervous to find out who they were.

"I wonder who they are." She whispered to herself as she walked out of her room and made her way downstairs. When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she could see her brothers and the other guys hugging and saying their 'hi's. There was about 12 guys in her living room, but she couldn't see any of their faces, so she walked up closer.

"Hey Nadia," Mike grinned, "These are my friends, you guys, this is my little sister, Nadia."

Her heart skipped a beat as they all turned around to look at her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Holy jesus christ."was all she could say..

"Hey Nadia," someone stuck his hand out.

"........H..Hi." She shook his hand, trying to control herself.

"I'm Gerard," he said smiling.

"Yeah..I know who you are..haha.."She blushed as she pulled her shirt down a bit, trying to cover her MCR belt.

When the next guy came up, she wished she hadn't worn her favorite shirt today.

"I'm Bert. But I think you know that already."

"Yeah.I do."She felt her face burn up as she looked down at her 'Bert is my homeboy' shirt.

Then all the other guys came up to her. She coulnd't believe it, she was ACTUALLY meeting her favorite bands! They were standing infront of her, in her living room.This was better than a dream come true!

"Man, I need to take a breather..holy shite." She walked outside for a minute.

"Hey, Nad, you alright?" Sean asked as he stepped outside with her.

"Yeah, it's just a little overwhelming.."

"Haha, yeah I know. We knew you love them so much and we didn't want to make you nervous for so long, that's why we didn't tell you."

"I'm glad you didn't. I don't know how I would have handled it if I knew."

"Let's go back in. Relax, it'll be fine, they are really nice guys." The 13 of them spent the whole day together, they all got along great, especially Gerard, Bert and Nadia. The three of them sat there watching 'The Phantom of the paradise'(my favorite movie!) and sang along to every song on the movie.

"So, how old are you Nadia?" Bert asked.

"I just turned 17 not too long ago."

"Are you going on tour with us?" This time was Gerard.

"No, I have to go to school, but I think I'm going on tour with Mike in the summer."

"Cool, you'll have fun with us." Bert said as he put his hand on hers.

'Oh dear, I think I'm going to faint..Ahh' she thought to herself as she tried to keep a straight face.These guys were her favorite singer, she listened to their music everyday, she never thought she would get to meet them, let alone hang out with them all day!And it was hard to believe how nice these guys were.

There was definitely something special between Bert and Nadia, but she doubted the thought because of the 'age' difference.

3 days later..

"Mike, I'm going to miss you so much man."Nadia said as she hugged him.

"I'll miss you too. I'll call ya lots."

Few days with the guys just flew by, but they have all become great friends with Nadia. They all had a lot of time on their hands, and didn't really feel like going out much and getting chased by the crazy bitches in Vancouver, so they stayed at home, watching movies and talking, which let them learn a lot about each other and become close friends in just a few days. Nadia hugged all the other guys good-bye and it was finally her time to say good bye to Bert.

"Bye Bert, I had so much fun with you and Gerard. I'm already excited about summer."

"I had a lot of fun too." He said and lightly kissed her on the cheek, causing Nadia to blush. Chapter 3

That night

"Hello?" "Hey Nadia! Let's go out tonight." It was Steph on the phone.

"Umm... where?

"There's a party at some girl's house."

"I'd rather go to a show man."

"No, we go to a show every week, let's go party it up with some cute boys. Come to my house at 9."

"Fine." Nadia responded and hung up.

The party was better than Nadia had expected, it was helping her get Bert off her mind.

"Hey, you want a drink?"A stranger offered her a drink.

"Hmm, sure why not."She said as she took the cup from his hand. He had a weird smile on his face but she ignored it.

'This shit tastes funky..I wonder if he drugged it.'She thought to herself.

"What is this?" She asked the guy, not being able to figure it out by herself.

"Some stuff my friend made. It's just a bunch of drinks together , that's why it tastes a little weird if that's what you're thinking. It's quite strong, so it'll get you drunk pretty quick , but don't worry." He smiled again and offered her another drink.

After a few more drinks she thought she had enough, but the drinks kept coming and she kept wanting more. By midnight, she wasn't feeling well at all. She got up and tried to walk but failed horribly then she fell down to the ground. When she opened her eyes again, it was morning and she could see bodies all over the floor.

she laid there on the floor for a while trying to think of what happened the night before. But she couldn't think of anything excpet the guy with the drinks. Then she heard footsteps coming toward her.

"Hey, you alright?" It was the guy from the night before.

"No, I can't really remember what I did and my whole fucking body is aching."

"Well, try and get up and you can take this."He said, showing her a white pill.

"What is it?"

"It's just like tylenol." He said and helped her up.

"Thanks,"she took the pill from him.

"My name is Will, I told you that last night but I don't think remember that."

"I'm Nadia. Did I tell you that last night?"

"Yeah, you did. Wanna know what else you did?"

"Hmmmm yeah I do. What the hell did I do?"

"Well, you got in a fight with some girl because she said Spongebob was annoying and you kicked the living shit out of her. You walked in to the kitchen and broke like 5 plates, that's why you have the cuts on your hands. Oh, and you got some guy to slap you in the face like 20 times and you just sat there laughing. Then you passed out."

"Well, I do love Spongebob, but I don't remember any of those things you just told me." She looked down at her hands and realized that she really did have cuts on her hands.

'Well, I guess that's why my hands hurt so fucking much when I woke up..and I guess my body hurts becuase of the fight.'She thought to herself, still looking at her hands and then seeing the bruises on her arms.

Then she realized that her arms were slowing becoming numb, she couldn't feel the cuts on her hands anymore, she pinched herself but felt no pain.

"what the hell did you just give me? Why am I becoming numb?"

"It'll make you feel better, just calm down. I have to go now, see you around." Will said and walked away.

Nadia was moving her arms and she kept hitting herself but she coudln't feel anything.

"Oh my god, what is happening to me?"She panicked, trying to get up from the couch she was sitting on.

"Nad! you ok?" Steph was running toward her.

"Holy fuck, Stephanie, I can't feel anything...Help me." Nadia was still trying to get up.
