To The End

He held me so close to him, so close I could feel his heartbeat, so close that I could hear his breathing, so close my lips can touch him. “Will you be my boyfriend?” he asks me. I squeal and nod my head frantically. He chuckled and pecked my lips making me do a huge ass smile. I didn’t want to let him go, but we can’t stay here forever. Finally, he let go of me and settled me onto the ground. I stared at him smiling. He returned the favor and we linked our hands together and walked back to the car. He opened the passenger side for me, what a gentleman. I climbed in the seat and watch him walk around the car to the drivers side. He sat down and looked at me. His eyes were in a haze, like if he’s in a dream state. I didn’t care, he looked happy. He put the car in drive and we slowly made our way down the stretch of road once again. I slept so comfortable for the first time without any fear or worry. I woke up and noticed I was lying down, in the backseat. I moved and rubbed my eyes to wake up. I stretched and swung my legs over the seat. I looked around and noticed we were in front of a little store. I squinted and rubbed my eyes once again. I yawned and scooted to the door and opened it.

The door made a squeaking noise and it was pretty loud. I clenched my jaw to get it to shut up, it was densely quiet out here. I finally made it out and closed the door. I stretched again feeling better now that I wasn’t on my back. I looked around for Gerard, nowhere. I’m guessing he’s in the store, so I made a little trip to the store. I walk in and see Gerard standing there paying for something. I quietly walk to him and sneakily wrapped my arms around his waist. He flinched and turned around and seen it was me. He smiled and gave the cashier some money, who gave us a dirty look, bastard.

So we walked out hand in hand with the bag Gerard had in his hands. I have no idea what he bought so yeah I can’t tell you. We got to the car and he opened the door for me, again gentleman! I pecked his lips before I sat down. He smiled and closed the door before walking to the drivers side. He got in and handed the bag to me. I furrowed my eyebrows and took it.

“For you,” he says to me. I smile and open the bag. I gasped and pulled out a pair of skeleton gloves.

“These are so fucking cool!” I yell making him laugh. I jump into his lap and kiss his face. He squints his eyes and tries to calm me down. “Oh thank you Gee!” I say hugging him, practically squishing him to death. “Gee?” he finally says. I let go and look at him feeling my cheeks flame up. He smiles and kisses me before setting me back in my seat.

I put on the gloves and admired them, they are so fucking cool! “ I love that you love them,” he states. I pull a huge grin and instantly knew this guy is going to be awesome. I don’t know him that well, but I feel like I do. He started the car, I taught him how to hotwire a car. I smile at him and face out the window as we head to the city still, getting closer by the hour.

“ Frankie,” Gerard finally says after like an hour of comfortable silence. I look at him and wait for him to speak out. “I .. um… wanted to tell you… uh..” he starts out. I stared at him intently, knowing I’m making him feel uncomfortable, so I stop and face forward and wait for his words to form.

“I wanted to let you know, that I honestly,” he says but stops once again. “What Gee?” I finally say. He glances at me and smiles real quick. “I honestly really like you, but I don’t know you that well, so I want to ask if you could take it slow,” he finally spits out. I smile at him and I hear him take a deep breath.

“Of course,” I answer. I then hear him sigh of relief.

I then face forward and squint to see what is ahead of us. “Poison what is that?” I ask pointing ahead. He also squints to see. “I… I don’t know.” We both struggle to see what is it, so he speeds up a little faster to find out what it is. We finally got closer and slowed the car down, then we completely stopped and see a car in the middle of the road, its turned upside down. My first instinct is that someone is hurt and I need to go help them. “Oh my god! Someone is probably in there!” I unbuckle my seatbelt quickly. I then felt Poison grab my wrist. I turn and see fear spread across his face. He shakes his head and stares at me begging me to stop. I give him a confused look.

“Poison someone is probably in there, we need to help them,” I explain. He shakes his head no again and pulls me back into my seat. I was wondering why he was so afraid and why is he telling me not to go help them. “They do this all the time, just to catch us rebels,” he starts, that’s when it clicked.

“Oh, no need to explain, I get it,” he smiles at the fact I understand what he’s saying. I settle back into my seat as Poison starts to put the car in reverse. He slowly backs the car up at a safe distance. He then switches to drive and steps on the gas. The car speeds up really fast and I hang on to the door for dear life. The car goes faster by the minute and we zoom past the “wreckage.”

As we past it, I turn around to see behind us and for sure, there they were shooting at us. I was so glad Poison was with me or else I would have been caught. I turn back to him and smile. “Thanks,” I say. He smiles and continues driving. I lean back in my seat and stare at the stretch of desert. I doze off once again.

-Malefic City-

I wake up to bright lights and cars and people everywhere. I quickly sat up in my seat and stared out the window like a little kid, amazed at what I’m seeing.

“Good Evening my sleeping beauty,” I hear Poison say. I turn to him and smile, he smiles back at me. “We’re finally here,” he states the obvious. I stare at the bright colors, the different people, their masks, the symbols and everything about this place is bright and everything! I smile and wave at random people, they wave back at me. I chuckle and look back at Poison. I see he has his mask on. I pout and I’m disappointed I cant see his beautiful face.

We stop at a streetlight and Poison reaches into the backseat and pulls out a mask. “Put this on,” he tells me. I obey and check the mask out, it looks like a Frankenstein or some weird face. I shrug and pull on the mask. I feel ridiculous. I feel like a little kid on Halloween.

I look at Poison and he starts cracking up. I pout and punch him in the arm. He continues laughing at me, “your so cute with that mask,” he says to me. I smile and blush, luckily this is covering my face.

We drive for about another hour as I gaze at all the different stores and stuff, I notice as soon as we got deeper in the city, there were a lot of minions and everything seemed to be a shade of gray and white. I didn’t like it, it looked plain and ugly, so different from the other part of the city.

As we got deeper and deeper in the city, I noticed Poison’s attitude changed. He was more cautious and overprotective, I already knew why. I then felt a hand on my head and I turned to Poison, he was pushing me lower into my seat. “get down,” he whispers. I nod and sank down in my seat. I noticed he was driving slower than the speed limit. I started to get scared because I have no idea what is happening. He then made a motion for me to sit back up and saying it was okay.

I quickly slid back up and looked at him with questioning eyes, well that’s stupid of me, he cant see my face with this mask. “Ghoul, I need you to get in the back seat,” he says quietly. Why is he speaking so low? I then realize I need to start using codenames again. I didn’t care I felt cool. I climbed in the back seat and he instructed me to lay down on the floor and so I did. He told me to be quiet and stay low, I was so curious to why I was doing this, it was killing me! I then felt the car stop and my heart was beating really fast. What is happening? Why are we stopping? Questions ran through my head constantly. I then hear a man’s voice.

“Hello, sir, may I ask for you registration please,” he says to Poison. I’m guessing he showed him his ID. “Thank you sir, you may pass,” he says. I look up and see one of those white masks that the minions wear and I started panicking. “Ssshh! Its me!” Poison says. I sigh of relief. “I thought they got you, sorry,” I answer. He chuckles and shakes his head. I felt my cheeks flush again, that was embarrassing.

I have no idea how long I have been back here, but long enough for my back was hurting me. “Poison can I get up now?” I whined again. I’ve been whining ever since I got a cramp in my back from the stupid middle thing on the floor. “I said no not yet, I’m sorry, we still got a few ways to go,” he answers again. I groan and laid my head back down. I stared at the same ugly gray ceiling in the car and connected all the spot stains into a picture. That’s how bored I was, I was using stains to play connect the dots. I felt my eyes get heavy, gosh I’m so tired of sleeping, but I can’t help it, I’m so god damn bored! I then felt the car jerk to a stop. I hit my head on the seat. “Ow,” I say quietly. “Sorry,” I hear Poison say to me. The car started moving again, I sigh and start fantasizing about me and Gerard. What? There is nothing else to do.

I finally felt my eyelids close and I drifted off to sleep……..

“FRANK NO!!” Gerard yells at me. He isn’t wearing his killjoy gear or his mask. He looks like himself, band shirt and black pants with chucks. I felt myself falling and I caught his hand. He caught me and tried to pull me up. “Gerard don’t let me go!” I screamed frantically. “I wont… trust me,” he says. I stared into his eyes and saw a glint of fear, yet his smile said otherwise, he was smirking at me. It was a frightening one, almost a sneer. I felt my heart stop, why is he looking at me like that? He pulled me up, but not all the way, he pulled me enough for his face to be close to mine. I felt his breath on my face. Then his lips smacked against mine and he was kissing me with only lust, no love. I tried to pull away, but he wasn’t letting me. He kept kissing me sloppily, I groaned and whimpered, begging him to stop. He wasn’t allowing it, he shoved his tongue into my mouth, exploring it. I screamed into his mouth and tried to pry him off. He then stopped and looked at me with no concern in his eyes, only evil. He sneered at me again and pulled his mouth to my ear. I felt hot tears run out of my eyes. “You were only a good fuck,” he says to me. I felt my breath get caught in my throat and I was getting choked up with tears. He pulled away and smirked at me. I felt my emotions get pierced with hurt. He laughed at me and let go of me. I screamed and felt myself falling, I watched him laugh at me and he just watched me fall. He let go of me….

I woke up screaming and I felt someone cover my mouth. I frantically moved away, but realized it was Poison. He was coming after me, he then grabbed hold of me again. “Ssshh! Sssh! Its okay I’m here don’t be scared, please be quiet,” he begged. I sighed of relief. I felt tears pour out of my eyes. He was wiping and cradling me, I realized we were in an alley way. I finally stopped from freaking out and looked at Poison. “Why are we in an alley?” I ask him. “I was going to get caught because I had you in the back seat, so I abandoned the car and carried you here like five minutes ago, before you woke up screaming,” he tells me. I felt bad, “Sorry,” I apologize, he just caresses my cheek. “No need, it was just a nightmare,” he tells me. He’s so sweet.

We sat there the next ten minutes, being as quiet as possible and trying to figure out what to do or Poison was trying to figure out what to do. “I cant have you like this around here,” he says to me. We then see a minion walk past the alley. We froze in our spot and it turned to look at us. It pointed and shouted something to someone, FUCK! I felt Poison tense up and stood up, grabbing on to my arm. He pulled me after him and he wasn’t running away from them, he was going head on with them. What?

He lets go of me and attacks the first minion that saw us and pulled his mask off. I then see another one come at us, I ran at him and attacked him, also pulling off his mask. We knocked both of them out.

“Here,” Poison hands me one of the masks they had on. I looked at him and took it. I pulled off mine and held onto it still. “But I like wearing this one,” I tell him while pouting. “I’ll get you another one, please put that on,” he tells me. I was disappointed, but did what I was told. He ignored my brat attitude. I pulled on the mask that I was to put on and felt amazingly weird. He looked at me and I see he put on the same mask on again. Its all white and it had red lips with black matted hair. It was fucking hideous to be honest. But if it was on Gerard, I drooled. He then grabbed my arm again and pulled me after him once again. We casually walked out of the alley, like nothing happened after we discarded the two minions with weapons we could probably use, I still had my gun though. I follow Poison through alleyways and ladders, we jumped on rooftops which I almost shit my pants. Poison had to assure me he would catch me if I fell. Which I hesitated because of that awful dream I had, what if he let go of me? Luckily I made it across and we were still running through little hidden paths and more alleys. I’m guessing he knows this city because he seems to know where he’s going with these shortcuts. He finally stopped in front of a building, I think its our destination, but I’m not so sure. He turned around and grabbed me by my shoulders. I gasped as he pulled me close to him. “Listen to me Frankie, do not trust anyone in here, they may seem friendly and helpful, but do not I repeat Do Not trust them, only me, you understand?” I nod and felt my heartbeat speed up twelve times faster. He nods and then lets go of me, he walks up to the huge door and does a secret knock.

Someone opened the door and didn’t even bother peeking their head out. “Name?” it spoke out loud.
“Party Poison,” he answered, the person who spoke peeped its out quickly and was grinning wildly.

“Poison! Holy Motherfucking Shit! Your Alive!” I noticed it’s a woman and she looked about the same age as us. She jumped onto him and hugged him tightly. I stared at the woman intently and felt a pang of jealousy that she hugged him like that. She then turned her attention towards me. “Who’s your friend?” she asks him. He smiles at her and sets her down. “This here,” he walks to me and wraps his arm around my waist, “ is my boyfriend Fun Ghoul.” I felt a smile tug at my lips and saw her face turn from happiness to more of jealousy. I smile, that’s right, my boyfriend.

“Oh! how lovely!” she pretends to be enthusiastic and happy for him. When I know for a fact she’s not.

“Guys! Poison’s here! Along with another human!” she hollers. Um.. I’m have a name bitch. I see like nine other people walk out and come to greet us. “Come,” Poison says to me tugging at my arm. I follow him and he kept his hand on my arm making sure I wont leave his side. I smile and glance back and see the girl glaring at us. I do a little victory dance in my head.

“So you know there names, from left to right, line up guys so he will remember,” Poison says. I see them line up for me, I feel like I’m being treated royally. “You can take off your mask now, we all know what we look like and they deserve to know what you look like,” Poison tells me. I nod and slowly pull off my mask. I hear a couple girls gasp. I wipe my face because I’m pretty hot right now from running and jumping and having that on your face, ugh!

“So we call each other by the last part of our alter ego names,” Poison explains to me. I noticed that a while ago honey. “ like I said from left to right, this here is Lightning, Fever, Frenzy, Death, Sade, Night, Izzy, Pumpkin, Flea and last but not least, Beats,” he says, so the jealous girl’s name is Beats. I’ll remember that for sure. I wave to everyone and smile. “Guys this here is Fun Ghoul,” he announces to everybody who I am. “Hey! that’s cool!” Frenzy says to me. “Thanks,” I reply. I see like three girls eyeing me, I felt uncomfortable. If I remember there names correctly, I think its Sade, Izzy, and Pumpkin and Beats is a girl to, but she’s death glaring at me. The others are all guys. “I’ll be back,” Poison says to me and walks away with the guys. I just stood there with the girls. I do a small smile and wave awkwardly. They walk toward me and they all had toothy grins, except Beats.

“So your Fun Ghoul I see,” Izzy says to me. I nod and felt myself sweating from nervousness. “Your cute,” Sade blurts out. I felt my face flame up. “You single?” Pumpkin asks me. “Uh…I’m taken,” I answer, I see their faces fall. “Yeah, taken by Poison,” Beats says with disgust. “I wouldn’t know why he would be interested in you,” she says. The girls gasp and look at her with a shocked face. “He’s gay?” Izzy asks her. “Yeah, apparently now he is,” she says disappointed. They look at me and back at Beats. I have no idea what is going on, but I could care less. “ He was mine,” Beats says and walks towards me. Whoa! They went out with each other. “ and I will stop at nothing to get him back,” she hisses. She gives another death glare and I see her face soften into a smile, I turn around and see Poison coming. I turn back to Beats and she walks past me with a face of disgust and shoved my shoulder a little walking towards him. I clinched my fists really tight, ready to knock her out. I don’t care if she’s a girl, I lost respect for her already. The girls were a little flirtatious but I didn’t mind, since I’m gay.

I turn to face Poison again and I see Beats with her hand on his arm, feeling it. She was talking to him about something and he was allowing her to touch him. I felt another rush of jealousy run through me, adding the fact that they were together, but Poison wants me, right?

I turn away ignoring it and walked toward the girls. They smiled at me, “Hey don’t worry about her she’s a bitch,” Pumpkin says to me. I gave a surprised face, “yeah we don’t like her, but we don’t show it, or say anything so no problems will start,” she explains. I nod and understand her, she’s like me.. Chill. I’m starting to like these girls. “Hey,” Izzy whispers to me. “we can help you, you know,” she offers. I gave a her questioning look and I see Sade’s smile light up. “With what?” I ask. “If she’s trying to make you jealous and surely Poison knows she’s doing it on purpose, maybe we can make him jealous,” Izzy explains. Sounds like a good plan, but sounded quite mean. “Its okay, maybe some other time,” I respond. They nod and we struck up another conversation about fruit. Don’t ask me. Fruit was pretty interesting.

After like five minutes of talk about fruit, I felt hands wrap around my waist. I turn around and see its Poison, I smile and held onto his hands. “Hey,” he whispers in my ear. I just didn’t answer him. He kissed my neck and I giggled.

“Aw!” they girls say out loud. I felt my cheeks flush with red. He let go of me and pecked my cheek before walking away. “you made me feel nervous,” I whisper to them. They laugh at me, “I like you your funny!” Pumpkin says. I smile, these girls are cool. I turn around and see Beats glaring at me. I winked at her and walked to Poison. Oh this week should be interesting.
