Too Good to Be True

"So is there anything we should know about your brother?" Gerard quizzed, shoving his hands into the plain black hoodie that shielded him from the below freezing air. Heh, welcome to Scotland.

"Yeah, Tommy, isn't it?" I couldn't help but smile widely knowing that Frank had remembered our conversation. But once I remembered another part of that conversation, which I was hoping he'd forget...

"Well, he's 7 years old, and like Frankie said, his name's Tommy," I smiled at the guys, and continued to drag my feet along the path littered with glass bottles and used cigarettes. "Oh, and he really really loves you guys." The guys raised their eyes in surprise, but nodded approvingly.

"Is that so?" Ray asked, and I nodded.

"Well, sort of. The Killjoys. He's in love with the Fabulous Killjoys, and will not doubt recognise you guys." I read their expressions as a mixture of amusement and confusion. "To him, you are four superheroes who make "the coolest ever songs"." I explained, and Gerard laughed.

"That should be fun! I take it he knows all of the songs from Danger Days?" I nodded enthusiastically.

"Yep, every one. Every word. His favourite is The Kids From Yesterday, though. I sing it to him to help him sleep and forget all this shit."

"All what shit?" Mikey asked, causing me to stop in my tracks. I didn't say that, did I?

"What? No, I never said shit-" Frank gently pulled me to the side, and sighed worriedly.

"This is the second time. What's going on Hailey?" I looked into his eyes, full of fear and worry. From the corner of my eyes I saw Mikey, Ray and Gerard come closer, confusion clear in their faces.

"Can I tell you...later?" I whispered. "Like, when we're...in America?" I tried to think up the best plan on the spot. He nodded slowly, and eventually smiled.

"You promise?" I nodded, and he took my hand, and we continued to walk. Well, that was until my phone rang. I excused myself and walked a little behind them, allowing me some privacy.

"Hello?"

"Well hello there gorgeous!" I smiled widely. Iona.

"Hey, is it still ok to come over?"

"I was just about to ask you that!" Tommy's here, and Matt too, but i'm just popping out for a bit. Don't worry! I'll be back at like 2!" I nodded, although she couldn't see. "Hold on Tommy! Sorry! Two seconds Hailey!" With that, her voice disappeared, but several others filled my ears.

"So what was that about?"

"What's wrong with her brother?"

"I don't know, honestly, but I think it's affecting her too."

"What!? Wait, is that not the rape thing?"

"Mikey! I doubt her 7 year old brother was involved in that!"

"But still Gee, it's a possibility. But by her reactions I don't think it's that. It's something more...I don't know, it's like she's shrugging it off, like it's no big deal. I think-"

"Hey! I'm back! Sorry about that!" I flinched a little in surprise, having been listening to the boys' conversation.

"Uh-y-I-It's fine!" I finally managed to get it out. She only laughed.

"That's me away out. See you in a bit, a'ight?" I could practically hear her winking.

"You got it. Bye!" With that I hung up, and jogged forward to link arms with Frank.

"Hey, who was that?"

"Iona," I said smiling. I was very tempted to ask about their previous conversation, but it was risky.

"Wait a minute...isn't this Iona's apartment?" Frank asked, pointing towards the hazel door we were talking towards.

"Flat, and yeah." I stopped again, realising I hadn't explained that I had moved out, and in with my best friend. Well, how could I without telling them about my parents? "I'm-uh-staying with her for a few days. My parents are on holiday," I prayed that the excuse would work, and thankfully they all nodded in understanding. Even Frank.

"Here we go then..." Mikey whispered, although loud, as I turned the key in the door. I pushed it open and Iona's tiny but welcoming living room was revealed.

"Honey i'm home!" I called out, tossing my keys on the coffee table. I turned around to see all of them had their eyebrows raised, me laughing.

"Who else is here?" Ray asked, looking around. I shook my head and beckoned them into the kitchen.

"Just Tommy and my friend Matt. If i'm right-"

"I'LL BE OUT IN A SECOND!" I heard Matt call from one of the rooms.

"If i'm right, he's on the Xbox," I continued, amused. "And Tommy is in his room playing with his toy cars,"

"Toy cars. Ah, childhood," Gerard commented, and I nodded, opening the fridge. I motioned to the fridge to ask if any of them wanted a drink, but they all shook their heads.

"You can guess the car I got him for his birthday," I said, smirking at the answer in my head.

"I'm going to go on a long shot and guess Ford Trans-am?" Ray suggested. I laughed and nodded, walking back out into the living room. Matt's door opened.

"Hailey, why can I hear-" He stopped in his tracks, completely frozen. "M-m-m-my-"

"Matt, My Chemical Romance," I motioned to the guys. "Guys, my friend Matt," They all locked eyes, speechless, until Gee spoke up.

"Have we...met?" The memory struck me. It was the night I had went to see them for the first time. The time Derek showed up. The night we kissed...

"Yes!" I blurted. "The night of the concert, remember?" This memory caused mixed emotions, but Frankie eventually stepped forward, offering his hand.

"Frank Iero, Hailey's girlfriend," Matt's excitement was replaced by shock. He looked at me, eyes wide and eyebrows raised.

"You go out with the rhythmn guitarist of My Chemical Romance!?" He explained, causing everyone to giggle, He scoffed, before shaking his hand. "Matthew Williams, but call me Matt. Hailey's best friend, and Tommy's uncle."

"Hey!" I exclaimed, and he just laughed. I flopped down on the leather couch as the band and Matt made their introductions. Once they were done, I began the conversation. "Hey Matt, how's Tommy doing?" He nodded towards the last door on the hall.

"Just messing about with his Trans-Am," he shrugged, and then looked back at the band. "He loves you guys by the way!"

"We heard," Gerard laughed, and I got up from my seat. I put my fingers to my lips, motioning for them to be quiet. They all nodded, and I walked to Tommy's door, knocking once and leaning in as far as possible.

"There might be something outside your door, but you just, never know..." I sang quietly, and the door flung open immediately.

"IF MY VELOCITY STARTS TO MAKE YOU SWEAT THEN JUST DON'T, LET GO!" Tommy had a massive grin on his face. MCR's songs always did that to him.

"AND IF THE HEAVEN AIN'T GOT A VACANCY," I continued, moving into his room.

"Then we just, then we just, then we just, then we just GET UP AND GO!" We sang together, and impersonated the guitar, jumping around the room.

"HI HAILEY!" He shouted, and hugged me tightly.

"Hey kiddo! There's some people I want you to meet..." He looked up at me in awe.

"Really? TAKE ME! TAKE ME!" He stretched out his arm for me to take, and I did. Most people would have commented on how childish he was acting, but it meant he was happy, so it was fine by me.

"Now, you know you have to be your best behaviour, right?" He nodded, and skipped along beside me, turning around the corner and out of the door...

"Oh my..."

"Tommy, meet-"

"OH MY GOD IT'S THE KILLJOYS!" He cried, and the boys laughed, Tommy ran straight up to them and looked up in awe at Gerard. "PARTY POISON! IS IT REALLY YOU!?" He nodded, grinning.

"Sure is, kiddo," He ruffled his hair, causing Tommy's face to light up.

"WOW! AND FUN GHOUL!" He walked up to Frank, who was smirking. "AND KOBRA KID! AND JET STAR! WOW!" He seemed completely fazed, and spent about 5 minutes looking up at his heroes. I watched like a proud mum, with my arms crossed. I watched Frank kneel down in front of him.

"So I heard you like our songs?" Tommy's face lit up again once more.

"YEAH! THE DANGER DAYS SONGS ARE AMAZING! I love Vampire Money, but The Kids From Yesterday is my favourite!" He exclaimed, loving the fact that 'Fun Ghoul' was kneeling in front of him. Frank turned to smile at me, and I walked towards them. "OH! I'LL GO AND GET IT!" Within seconds he had sprinted over to our room (Since Tommy had 'moved in with us', he moved into the spare room and I slept on the couch, although my stuff was in the room too).

"I love that kid already," Mikey chuckled, and I smiled widely. I opened my mouth to reply, but Tommy had come running back, carrying a square piece of plastic.

"LOOK! SEE?" I saw him hold the Danger Days album proudly above his head, causing the guys to grin. "Hailey for it for me for my 7th birthday!" I smiled down at Tommy, to see him grinning back up at me. But when I looked up, I managed to catch Frank staring right into my eyes. It was the kind of look that melted you inside. And then of course, I felt a tug on my batman tshirt.

"Sis, I think Fun Ghoul likes you!" He whispered enthusiastically into my ear once I had bent down. I had to try not to giggle, and only nodded, with a cheesy grin on my face. His eyes lit up. "OH FUN GHOUL! DO YOU GO OUT WITH MY SISSY!?" I couldn't help but chuckle as the boys giggled, and Frank even blushed a little! He blushed!

"They do, Tommy," Gee said, before Frank could say anything. I began to dread his reaction....

"OH THAT IS SO AWESOME! WOW! FUN GHOUL IS GONNA BE MY BROTHER! AND SO WILL THE OTHER KILLJOYS!" He gasped loudly, and began jumping around. "AND I'LL BE A KILLJOY TOO! ATOMIC KID, STOPPING BETTER LIVING FROM TAKING OVER THE WORLD! PEW PEW!" He began jumping around, and I had to stop him from knocking over Iona's TV.

"You know, we have an idea..." Gerard announced after a small discussion with the guys.

"Yeah?" I asked, curious.

"Mind if we take out Atomic Kid for the day? We've got some plans..." Frank winked, indicating that there was more. I nodded in understanding, and looked to Tommy for and answer. Of course, he was none other than speechless.

"Yes..." he barely breathed out, and Mikey grinned, walking up to him. "KOBRA KID! CAN I RIDE ON YOUR BACK!?" I went to protest, but Mikey seemed to oblige.

"Of course kiddo!" He instantly kneeled down so that a buzzing Tommy could jump onto his back. It struck me just how amazing they were to their fans, no matter what age.

"We'll speak to you later!" Ray called, as Gee, Mikey, Tommy and himself left Iona's flat. I nodded, and turned to see Frank come towards me.

"So what are the plans, Fun Ghoul?" I let my mouth twist into an amused smile, and he did the same.

"We're having a party!" My eyes lit up.

"Another one!?"

"Yep! And if you're up for it, our flight for New Jersey leaves tomorrow morning..." I didn't need any time to react, I simply jumped into Frank's arms. "I take that as an 'okay' then?" He laughed, and I squealed.

"You can take that as a Hell Yeah!" and we both laughed. Once the laughter had died down, we looked into each other's eyes once more. I sighed with contentment, and he pressed his lips onto mine. It was short, but still made my entire body tingle.

"Invite as many people as you want. Iona knows. We're going out to get some stuff for it today," He smiled. A thought struck me, and I gasped.

"What about Tommy?"

"Well, it's not up to me, but I was thinking he could stay until about 7 or 8, and then stay with someone?"

"Yes! I remember him asking if he could stay with Johnny tonight...it's perfect! So when will I see you again?"

"At the party, tonight. It'll be here, so you've got plenty of time to get ready." He kissed my cheek, and turned to walk out of the door, but I wasn't finished yet.

"Hey Frank!" He turned around, expectantly, and I smirked. "Sexy or Sassy?" I joked, and I saw his eyes widen, but sparkled with amusement once he had caught on.

"Go for Sexy. Gerard doesn't need competition," He winked once more, before leaving. I tried desperately to contain my amusement, a million tumblr posts springing back to mind. Once I had heard his footsteps going down the stairs, I began laughing uncontrollably. Who could blame me, though.

It was only a few minutes before Iona walked in, grinning.

"You ready girl?"

"We've got a party to get ready for," I grinned back.
