I do not listen to Fall Out Boy but this is pretty awesome. This story is so unique. Your use of Fall Out Boy is different and I like that. I love the kind of mysteriousness that lingers throughout the plot. Great job. :)
Wouldn't really call it a house actually While I can see this is derived from a specific way of speaking, it's not actually speech, and should be written as such. 'I would wouldn't call it a house, actually' being the correct way.
The first and second paragraph would do better if they were connected, as there isn't actually a topic change to cause the paragraph. Also; wow, that's a odd thought. I can honestly say I look at a building and think 'oh, a serial killer could live there' in a serious manner. As a matter of fact, serial killers only go uncaught be being absolutely genius; they often blend in and avoid run down places to escape suspicious. Still, I can't count on everyone knowing these specific things about serial killers, though I can see exactly where this story is going.
'Ryan and I' being the grammatically correct way of saying 'me and Ryan'.
The part where she is saying she wants Pete's band to play - the sentences don't flow. Their simple block sentences, add in some sentence joiners and you have yourself flow and a complex sentence, bonus marks on english exams I have to say.
Her father's mood swing is extremely unprecedented. Think rationally on how a human would react to such news; you'll find it very hard to actually wring a reaction this like. Review how realistic characters and their responses are. I'm sad to say that so far it's very common of fandom stories, especially with this slight disconnection to reality.
Dale has a ridiculous over reaction, especially for her age, consider the advice I just gave about her father and also apply is to her.
Pete writes the lyrics with Patrick in Fall Out Boy, I can't say if you're going for and accuracy in this, though.
was having a minor crush this is incorrect use of 'having'. With the word crush you 'have' 'had', present tense being 'have' or 'harboring' rather than 'having'.
This entire review is based off the first chapter because heterosexual stories scare me. Good luck with this piece, and feel free to message me with anything regarding this comment; keep writing<3
