"I can't believe you're making me do this!" I yelled, flinging my hands in the air.
"Momma," yelled the child sitting on the couch, blue eyes sparkling.
"Maybe you should stop complaining. Look, this tour is a big deal for us. You're the lead singer; you have to be there. Put aside your fucking differences with Hayley Williams and pack your stuff. Okay, Envy?" the guy flicked his blonde hair from his eyes.
But she's a bitch.
"Momma," the child yelled again as he hopped up and down, dirty blonde hair following his movements.
"Don't curse around my child, Wrath," I said, putting my blonde hair up in a ponytail.
"Come on, sis!" Wrath whined.
"Momma," the child continued to yell.
"What is it, Gerard?" I asked, stooping in front of him.
"I wanna go on tour wif you and uncky Wraf."
My own child is against me?
"Hah, your own child is on my side," Wrath pumped his fist in the air.
My body straightened back up and turned to him. "Look, I'd love to go. There are two problems, though. One: I hate Hayley Williams and she hates me. Two: Who is going to take care of Gerard while we perform? I can’t leave him alone."
"We can ask Lust to come."
"She's our sister, not our nanny."
We can't stress her out anymore than she already is.
"But..."
"Auntie Lust is commin!? Yay!" yelled Gerard.
"What is Auntie Lust doing," asked the girl coming down the stairs.
"You are coming with RxN on tour to help take care of Gerard," answered Wrath.
"You don't have to," I added quickly.
"I'd love to come help. Plus, I have to be there to support my favorite younger siblings."
"We're your only siblings," I said.
"So does that mean we're going?" asked Wrath.
I sighed. "Sure."
Damn it.
"Yes! I'm going to call Damien, Edward, and Ella!... and Mr. Wentz, to confirm our attendance."
Wrath skipped away.
Fruit.
"So why don't you want to go on tour?" asked Lust.
"Hayley will be there."
"Who is Haywey, Momma?" asked Gerard.
"A really mean girl that Momma can't stand," I answered, picking him up.
"No!" he said in disbelief
"Yes!"
"Is she going to be my new mommy?"
What?!
"What?"
"Well, you wike girws and Haywey is a girw... so are you gonna marwey her and make her my new mommy?"
Why would he...?
A laugh escaped Lust's mouth before she covered it with her hand.
Lust...
"No, sweetheart. Hayley doesn't like girls."
"Oh," he said, dejected.
"Where does he get these things?" asked Lust, obviously amused.
"I blame you," I put Gerard down. He immediately ran to the kitchen.
"Me?!" she laughed lightly.
"You're poisoning my child's brain."
She smiled and tilted her head. I looked at her.
"What?" I asked.
"I still can't get over it."
"Get over what?"
"I always thought I would be the one to have a child first. I mean, I am the oldest and, with a name like Lust, it's almost destined to happen. Plus, I'm the straight one."
"Lust, I was raped."
And I'll never forget that...
"And you were only 15," her eyes filled with sadness.
"And you were molested by our father while growing up. Can we drop it?"
"No. You know you're a good mother, right?"
"Sure."
Gerard ran back into the room holding a blue box. "Momma, can I have this?"
"Depends. What is "this"?" I asked.
"Macaonni."
"Macaroni? Okay."
His body jumped up and down, then ran back to the kitchen. My feet followed him.
"I want macaroni, too," complained Wrath.
Since when does he eat?
"Well make your own," I snapped, pouring the contents of the little clear bag into a bowl.
"Can you make it for me?"
"How hard is it for you to make Kraft Macaroni?"
"Very hard."
Sigh. "Fine."
He smiled.
"When are we leaving?" The macaroni was placed in the microwave.
"In four hours."
My head jerked toward him. "When?"
"In four hours... Well, technically three hours and fifty-six minutes."
"And you're just telling me now?"
"Don't worry, I packed your and Gerard's stuff."
"What if I had said no?"
"Well, you wouldn't have because I would have kept bugging you."
"You are so annoying."
"I know."
The microwave beeped and the bowls of macaroni were pulled out.
"Cheese," I commanded.
Wrath placed the cheese packs in my open palm. I ripped open the packs and poured them in the bowls. The spoon was used to stir the cheese in.
"Did you tell Lust?"
"I told her before I asked you."
"You planned this all behind my back?" I handed Wrath a bowl.
He shoved a spoonful of macaroni into his mouth. "Mmhmm."
"You are such a nerd."
I placed a bowl in front of Gerard.
"Macaoni!!"
"Yes, sweet heart, Macaroni."
Gerard picked up a spoonful of macaroni and tried to shove it in his mouth like Wrath only to have it end up in his lap. Gerard gasped.
"Momma, it fell!" he yelled.
"Wrath, clean it up," I said.
"Why me?"
"Because he was copying you and I have to go check our bags."
"Fine," he grumbled.
