Chapter 1

*Chasity's P.O.V.*

It has been three days since I've woke up and I can't still believe that I have been sleeping deeply for one and a half years.

I just finished my last session of examination and the doctor said that this day will also be the day they'll remove the bandage around my face. I really feel like the accident messed up my face to an unimaginable extent.

"Hey, is the examination over?" Chris finally came back from buying some food for me.

"Yeah. So, what's the food?" I asked I've been eating like a pig last three days and I don't even care.

"Just a salad to keep to healthy." He said, putting the food down on the table beside me before kissing my forehead. "I'm really glad you're okay now." He said.

I can see the happiness in Chris' eyes. He must be so worried every day for me and I'm feeling guilty for giving him that torment. He continued to prepare the food for the both of us and when he was done, we were both eating on my bed.

"Chris? Can I ask you something?" I asked while I took a bite.

"You're already asking little sis, so go ahead." He answered.

"How are we...you...able to pay all this? I mean, a year and a half stay in a private room in a hospital, with all these examination and reconstruction of my face. How?" I asked with full of curiosity. I never had the chance to ask him this and I really want to know. I know we had a lot of financial problems now, we have so many debts and everything and I'm really curious on where he got the money to pay all this.

Chris put his food down and sighed.

"Chasity I know we have so many financial problems and everything. I know you want to save our house, but I can't save you and that house at the same time. Chasity I'll be willing to do anything just to save you. I mean, that house is important, but you're much important. Someone found out our situation and he helped with everything, we're off the hook on every debts and he gave enough money to pay the bills and for us to start a new life, but it cost it our house. I'm very sorry, little sis." He explained with so much guilt on his face.

I honestly felt guilty for asking him, I know it was a hard decision for him, but I'm thankful for everything he did. I put my food down too and hugged my brother.

"Thank you and it's okay. Also, I'm sorry for all the problem." I said sincerely, he hugged me back.

"Let's forget that now, at least I finally have you again." He said , giving me a smile of relief.

"But who helped us? I wish I can meet him someday." I said.

"He said he doesn't want because he doesn't want to be known as a hero or something, all I know is that his name is Chase." He said.

"Well, wherever he is...I'm thanking him with all my heart," I said.

I and Chris continued to chat about normal things after that, he updated me with everything that happened around town and everything. I really did miss a lot, but I'm planning not to waste any more time. The moment I get out of here, I'll be doing everything I want.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Chirs immediately opened it and my doctor walked inside.

"Good morning, Mr. and Ms. Parker! I have some good news for you." He said excitedly. I sat on the corner of my bed looking at him with a smile. "You're allowed to go home tomorrow and I will take off the bandage in your face now." He added.

"That's good news alright!" I said to him excitedly.

"But be warned that you will look a lot different this time. The accident was too harsh on your face, but don't worry, we have reconstructed it perfectly." He said with a proud smile.

I never really thought of it that way. Having a new face is something weird and not all people will have this chance, I feel like I've been given a chance to restart everything with this new face.

He began to unwrap my head like a Christmas gift and I let him do it. My face felt cold the moment the bandage was removed. I looked up at my brother who was staring at me with awe in his eyes.

"So?" I asked nervously at him. The doctor gave me way towards the mirror. I took in a deep breath before standing up and finding the courage to look in the mirror and I myself am shocked to what I am seeing.

I look so much different. I ran my fingers on my face not knowing who's standing behind this mirror. This feeling is so weird...I feel like a stranger to my own self.

----------------------

"Finally, Home Sweet Home!" Chris said the moment he opened the door to our new home.

Our new home is on the 15th floor in this condominium in Illinois. It was a decent place with new furniture and appliances inside. It was roomy and cozy too and I could get used to this kind of place.

"Tell me honestly, Chris. How much did this Mr. Chase gave to you? It's like were rich as fuck!" I said in awe. Chris just laughed at me while putting our things down.

"Um...more than he bargained for?" he answered and that answered made me stopped moving. I looked at him and he somehow he stopped moving too.

"Oh my gosh! Fall Out Boy! I haven't heard them for a year...do they have a new album now?!" I asked excitedly. I'm a big fan of the band and it's been a year since the last time I heard their music. I'll probably spend a day just listening to them again.

Suddenly, Chris walked to me and laughed.

"Still, after all that happened, you're still a big fangirl of them." He said innocently.

"Who wouldn't?!" I answered with a giggle.

"I'm really glad you're okay now." He said and he hugged me. I really like his brotherly hugs like this.

"Thank you for taking care of me, big bro." I said to him sincerely. We pulled back and he patted my head while smiling.

"I'll do everything just for you to be safe, princess." He said.

I can't be more thankful for a brother like him.

*Patrick's P.O.V.*

"Hey, good morning." Elaine greeted me the moment I walked inside the kitchen. She was cooking breakfast for the both of us.

"Morning." I said, going next to her kissing her cheeks. We've been living together for months and I think this time, I might make this work.

Elaine is not like before anymore maybe the reason behind that is knowing what her stepbrother had done to her and to us. She was claiming all the blame, she never stopped asking for forgiveness back then and the stress had hit her hard...causing her to lost her baby. She also admit to me that it wasn't really mine, but I never made a lot of fuss about it. I just told her that I'll take care of her from that moment and that she needs to change her ways from then on.

Of course, I and the boys never blamed her. She wasn't a part of any of this, for all I know she was just used too. Maybe that's the reason why she changed and she really did. She became a person that I could lean on. She became a lot more kind, sweeter and caring. This is why I think things are going to get better between us.

"Fall Out Boy is getting out of the 'break' today right?" she said, trying to light up the mood.

"Yeah. As they say make it easy, say that never happen...so here we are denying everything." I said lowly. I sat in front of the table as she served the food.

"Hey, everything will be fine. You and the boys are the ones who said to delete it. It only hurts you, almost half a year is enough for thinking over it." She told me.

"I hope so...me and the others are still wrecked. I don't know if being together again...as a band will make this better."

"It will. Surely, that's what she would want. She'll probably hit you all with drumsticks if you all continued to be apart. Patrick, re-establish Fall Out Boy, your band doesn't have to end there. You, yourself said it...don't dwell in it...it will slowly kill you in the most painful way possible." She said to me while holding my hands.

I looked at her and smiled, she really did change...but not even her can take the memories away...can't take this urge away to restart from the beginning...from the moment when Chasity came into my life.
