《Adopted By My Chemical Romance》Chapter 5

Jade came down the stairs with Frank following behind her just as Lyn-Z and Bandit came through the door.
"My little Bandit!" Frank shouted as he saw her. He ran past Jade and picked up Bandit. Lyn-Z came up to me and kissed me before smiling. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder.
"Who are you?" Bandit asked when Jade came into her view.
"This is your new sister Bandit. Her name is Jade and she's sixteen." Frank said to Bandit. He put Bandit down. Bandit walked cautiously over to Jade.
"I'm Bandit Lee Way. I'm six years old." Bandit said.
"Do you want a hug?" Bandit asked.
"I don't mind a hug but sure you can have one." Jade answered. Bandit latched onto Jade's waist and slowly Jade returned it. I saw something poking out from her sleeve.
"Hi Jade, I'm Lyn-Z." Lyn-Z said with a smile. Bandit went over to Mikey and Ray and sat on their laps.
"Hi." Jade replied quietly with a small wave and a smile. Her and Frank went and sat down on the bean bags. Jade lent into Frank's chest.
"Do you want to order pizza?" I asked Lyn-Z.
"Yeah of course." She answered with a smile. She kissed my cheek and went into the kitchen. I sat down on the couch near Jade and Frank. I picked up on the thing poking out of her hoodie again.
"Hey Jade what's that?" I asked pointing at the white material that covered her wrist. She instantly pulled down her sleeve as she looked at me in horror. Frank bit his lip like he knew something.
"Oh, i-it's n-nothing." Jade stuttered.
"Can I see then?" I asked. Jade shook her head. I frowned.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because it's my body and I can't trust you if demand to see it." Jade replied angrily. I looked into her distressed eyes and sighed.
"I only want to help you Jade." I said.
"Well I don't want you to help me." Jade hissed before disappearing to her room.

I sat between the toilet and the cupboard in my bathroom with my headphones in. What if he found out? What if he found out? He'd only send me back. He'd get rid of me like everyone else did. I rested my head on the toilet seat and closed my eyes whilst "Hold On Till May" by Pierce The Veil echoed in my ears. I rubbed my wrist where I had my new cuts. It was slightly itchy.
A knock came on the bathroom door. I took my headphones out and paused my music.
"Jade, it's Mikey. Pizza is here and Gerard wants to talk to you." The voice said.
"I'm not hungry and Gerard can fuck off." I replied.
"You have to eat Jade and Bandit wants to see you." Mikey said.
"Then you can fuck off too." I shouted back through the door.
"Let me in Jade. Please." Mikey begged.
"I'm not in the mood Mikey. Please just go away." I said.
"I'm not going anywhere Jade. Please just let me in." Mikey pleaded. I lifted my head off the toilet and shuffled a bit to open the door. I swung the door open to the 5'10 monster standing on the other side of the door. Mikey sat down opposite me.
"Come on you've gotta come eat. I know your pissed off at Gerard but he hates it when people are pissed off with him." Mikey said.
"I'm not hungry." I replied as I looked at my hands.
"When did you last eat?" Mikey asked slowly.
"Why does it matter?" I asked.
"Because we don't want you to be ill missy." Mikey answered.
"The last time I ate something was this morning at breakfast." I lied. Mikey looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
"Now who are you trying to fool here? I'm not my brother or Ray or Frank who are dim witted idiots so tell me when did you last eat something?" Mikey asked.

"Three days ago." I sighed. I pulled on my sleeves again.
"What are you trying to hide?" Mikey asked suspiciously.
"Nothing. I'm just self conscious." I answered with a smile.
"Okay. You need to come eat something." Mikey said.
"It will make me fat. You don't understand. I want Frank." I replied.
"Why Frank?" He asked.
"Because I trust the midget." I answered with a smile.
"I'll get Iero for you but I'm telling Gerard that you haven't been eating." Mikey said. I shook my head.
"You can't." I said. Mikey tilted his head to the side.
"Would you rather me tell him or him getting angry about secrets that are being kept from him?" Mikey asked. I nervously bit my lip ring.
"He should read my file." I answered.
"Gerard never bothers with that type of paperwork." Mikey replied as he got up.
"I'm telling him." Mikey said. I nodded. Mikey walked over to my bedroom door and opened it.
"By the way Iero is really fond of you." He blurted on the way out of the door. I got up and closed the door behind him with a smile on my face. Frank likes me?

About 15 minutes later a little knock came on the door. I turned down the tv a little before shouting come in. I grabbed my hoodie and pulled it on. Gerard and Frank came into my room and sat on my bed. Gerard had a plate with a some salad and one slice of pizza.
"You're going to eat this." Gerard said.
"I told Mikey I'm not hungry. I'm pretty sure he told you that." I said with a smile.
"He's also scared that you have an eating disorder." Frank said.
"Have you read my file yet?" I asked.
"No. I'm going to hear everything from you because I'm your dad." Gerard answered.
"What do you want to know?" I asked.
"Anything about you." Frank answered.
"I'd rather not." I said.
"Then at least eat something please." Frank begged. Gerard looked at me pleadingly. I shook my head.
"I can't eat it." I said as I looked at the plate in front of me. I bit my lip so hard a little bit of blood came out. I put my head in my hands.
"It will make me fat." I added. I pushed the plate away.
"It won't make you fat. This much won't make you gain weight. I promise." Gerard said. I looked at Frank for confirmation.
"He's telling the truth. It will be okay." Frank said. I hesitantly picked up the pizza slice and took a bite of it. I swallowed as I became guilty of eating. I slowly carried on taking bites until the whole slice had gone.
"I don't want the salad." I said.
"Please." Gerard begged. I picked at the salad until half of it was gone.
"I can't eat anymore and I'm tired." I said.
"That's okay. Baby steps. Come down and say goodnight to everyone then you're free." Frank said. Gerard took the plate as Frank took my hand. They took me downstairs where there was a sickly smell of greasy pizza. I tried not to make a face.
"Frank. I don't like the smell." I whispered.
"It's okay. All you need to do is tell everyone goodnight." Frank replied. He squeezed my hand before letting go.
"Everyone I'm going to bed as I'm like really tired so night." I announced. Ray, Mikey and Lyn-Z murmured a goodnight as Bandit hugged me and Gerard kissed my forehead.
"Frank I need something to sleep in." I said before heading up the stairs.
"Look in my closet in my room. You're welcome to sleep in there tonight." Frank said with a smile. I nodded before heading up the stairs one last time.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
