The First And Possibly The Last

    Gerard Way sat on the empty stage, his legs dangling from the edge and his blue suit and tie drenched from the rain that came just after the concert had concluded. He ran his hair through his red-dyed hair and stared at the dye that was left on his hand, it looked like he had wiped a person off the face of the Earth. Gerard sighed, he reached into his soaked blue jacket and pulled out his phone, the man started surfing the internet using Wi-Fi from a nearby house. Nothing new. Gerard decided to play some of his music. Some of his songs from Hesitant Alien played, he hummed along to Action Cat and mumbled some lyrics to Brother.
    Brother ended, and a familiar tune started to play, it made Gerard hold his breath. The thunder rumbled throughout the location which the man was set in; Gerard stared at his phone, taking in the title of the song from his past.
    The Light Behind Your Eyes.
    Gerard heard his past self sing to the lyrics that held such deep meaning and hidden messages that kept the listeners going, fighting even. He held the phone to his head and gazed up at the grey clouds overhead.
    "I'd be lying if I didn't say..."Gerard sang quietly, he let the singer, past Gerard, finish the lyric. The song reminded him of his old brothers; when My Chemical Romance was an idea in action, not just an idea that was played with for a short period of time then just forgotten.
    "And if they only knew what I would say if I..." Gerard sang a bit louder, gaining a sense of confidence in his chest, he climbed to his feet. "...could be with you tonight, I would sing you to sleep...never let them take The Light Behind Your Eyes....". Gerard started to sing over the instrumentals, he still sang quietly, but he just wanted to hear himself. "I'll fail and lose this fight; never fade in the dark. Just remember: you will always burn as bright."
    Gerard made the volume on his phone to be even louder, he sang with all of his heart. He forgot about the sound of rain hitting the ground, he forgot the sound of distant thunder, all Gerard did was listen to himself sing. He was driven to tears when he knew that the song was going to end. Everything came to an end, but sometimes, an ending can be faked.
    A light chuckle was heard from behind Gerard, he turned to see a small little girl with a phone pointed directly at him. She jumped up and down when she saw him staring at her. Gerard noticed a design on her oversized T-shirt: A man and a woman, blood covering their faces, eyes closed and facing each other, both leaning in for what seemed like a kiss. The cover art for My Chemical Romance's old album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. The girl squealed with delight and ran to Gerard, she jumped, making her poofy, black Tutu bounce up and down,"Gee!" Was all the girl said, she smiled with her teeth showing. Gerard smiled, he kneeled down on both of his knees,"Hey, what is a beautiful, small, little cutie like you doing here by yourself? You know that it's raining, right?"
    The girl stood on her toes,"Yeah...I do. My mommy and daddy told me that I could come to meet you! I've been waiting in their car for the raining to stop, but they got mad at it and said I could meet you now! Mommy told me to wear my favorite shirt for your show, so I did! Also, Daddy told me to get my CDs signed, I even brought my marker!" She reached into her sock and pulled out a Sharpie marker. "I love your work with My Chem-eye-cal Ro-o-mance, so I brought three CDs that had your past songs in them! Will you please sign them, Gee?"
    Gerard stared at the three CD cases in the girl's hand which also held the phone that she had used to take a video of him singing an old song,"Sure, give 'em here." He extended his hand. The girl smiled, handed him the marker and the three CDs, and waited until he was done signing them with the black Sharpie.
    "What's your name?" He asked.
    "My mommy says that my name is one of your songs! Helena!" The girl stated proudly. Gerard handed them back to her and smiled,"Go back to your parents now, Helena, we wouldn't want to keep them waiting."
    She shook her head,"Can I have a photo with you? And--and...my Mommy and Daddy are bigger fans than me! They would love to meet you, too!" Gerard thought about it, this girl loved My Chemical Romance just because her parents loved them too, if her parents never loved them, then Gerard wouldn't have met this girl. He looked at the old CD cases that were scratched and broken, he assumed that they were originally the parents', they gave them to the girl who loved the old idea of My Chemical Romance, and she kept them.
    "How long have you been a fan of My Chemical Romance, Helena?" Gerard asked. The girl bit her lip,"As long as I've been alive!" Gerard chuckled, she reminded him of Bandit. He reached for the phone, the girl didn't object as he took it from her hands and turned it on. The lock screen was a picture of the Danger Days album, he smiled,"What's the password?"
    The girl smiled,"2-0-1-9."
    Gerard nodded and inputted the code, the phone unlocked, he smiled at the background when he saw one of his old quotes: "Stay beautiful. Keep it ugly." The girl smiled into the camera when Gerard said "say 'Oh, Frankie'!"
    "Oh, Frankie!" She repeated. The photo was taken, the girl was handed back the phone,"Will you come see my Mommy and Daddy now, Gee? They would love it!"
    Gerard clicked his tounge,"Yeah, lets go see your Mommy and Daddy, Helena."
    Sometimes, the ending is faked, but even if the ending is real, there will always be others to make it seem like a beginning.

((Woah, that last sentence made absolutely no sense what-so-ever, I'm sorry. This short story was inspired by a certain video by a YouTuber of the name MysticWolfMusic! Hopefully I spelled their name right...it would certainly be awkward if I didn't. I left their video up there in the clouds, don't look up there at the actual clouds, I'm sorry for misleading you. Check out their other works! There's a mash up of BMTH and MCR titled 'How Real Friends Dissappear', I strongly recommend it! See you! *WOOSH*))
