The World Is Ugly But You're Beautiful To Me

Sarah's POV

Swirls of black danced in my head. My head is pounding. The pain. Memories flash backs from that night. Kisses. Hitting. Punching. Fighting. And plain fear. I try to snap back into reality.
I wake up to voices softly talking.i slowly open my eyes to see what is going on. I try to prop myself up with one elbow but I'm too weak. I look around at my surroundings. It looks like I'm in small apartment. I start to panic inside. Did I go home with anyone? Was I drunk? What the hell??
I see a group of guys my age talking. They are all piled on the couch. One guy is smoking and drinking and the other three are just nodding and responding as they all talk. I try to let my eyes adjust to the dark room. It only had a small lamp illuminating the room. I look closely. It looks like the band I saw!
"H-hello?" I say softly. I see all heads turn to my direction. They all come racing by my side. I hear some 'thank god' under their breathes. I run my fingers through my sweaty sticky hair. I probably look like shit right now. I examine their faces. One has a fro another with short brown hair with a beanie on with glasses hanging from the tip of his nose. Another with black hair (A/N think of frank's hair from the revenge era) with a lip and nose ring. Also another I think he's the lead singer...he has jet black greasy hair that hung over his pale face. They are all hot oh dear god and I'm all shitty looking great way to get a guy I know right! (catch the sarcasm)
"What happened?" I say while taking a deep breathe. I'm preparing for the worst. I grip my shirt a little tighter.
"Well some asshole was trying to rape you back stage and we tried to save you but the fucking cunt threw you on the ground," the lead singer said in a low growl.
"Yeah if it wasn't for Gerard seeing you guys...well we all know what could've happened," the guy with the fro says with a sigh. So the lead singer's name is Gerard. Gerard. That name matches with him perfectly.
"Oh sorry we didn't introduce ourselves! I'm Ray. That's Mikey," Ray points to the guy with glasses," that's Frank," he points to the short guy with the piercings," and that's Gerard," he finishes saying.
"I'm Sarah," I say quietly. They all nod. I rub my forehead and sigh. "How long have I been out?" I ask.
"Hm about maybe 3 hours," Frank says. "It's ,let's see," he glances at the stove for the time "it's 3:47 a.m." he shrugs.
"I need to go to the restroom," I say nervously.
"Oh ok the restroom is down the hall second door to the right," Ray says.
I attempt to get up and I collapse on the floor. I feel my cheeks getting red and warm. I'm so stupid I forgot how weak I am. So attractive falling on the floor face first.
"You okay?" everyone says and starts to panic.
"Yeah I guess so," I mumble. I feel a weird taste in my mouth. I place a finger in my mouth. Yup just what I thought. Blood. Ugh stuff keeps getting worse and worse.
"Here I'll help you to the bathroom!" Frank says with a warm smile.
"I got it Frank," Gerard says while picking me up 'bridal style'.
"Whatever," Frank mumbles under his breathe. Gerard takes me down the hall which takes like 2 seconds since this is a small ass apartment.
"I'll clean you up hold on," he says while placing me on the bathroom counter. he then tries to locate some tissue. He takes out the tissue box from the shelf and yanks off the tissue hanging off. I flinch when he presses the tissue in my mouth. "It's okay," he whispers. After he's done patting it he throws the tissue to the trash bin. He misses. I giggle.
"You missed!" I say to myself giggling.
He chuckles. "So?" he says sassing me. "Let me get you some clothes," He says stepping out the door and closing it with a soft 'click'. I kick my feet as they dangle from the counter. Gerard comes back with some clothes in his arms. "Here, why don't you use the restroom and change yell if you need help," he then furrows his eyebrows. His eyes widen. "Um not in a pervy way um yeah I mean I can help uh never mind," he then slips out of the bathroom. I sigh. I fall/jump off of the counter. My legs start to wobble like noodles but I hang on to the towel rack to steady myself. I proceed to using the restroom and getting dress. I slip on the oversized black sweats and a black tee. I put my messy purple hair in a tighter bun. I'm still somewhat confused. Ok maybe it's bad to hang out with guys you barely know. I'm still so naive. I look in the mirror above the sink. I have smeared black eyeliner everywhere. I dig in my pant pocket. I find my phone and... yes! I put eyeliner in there! I reapply the eyeliner so I won't look like shit woo ^-^)/) I open the door an collect my old sweaty clothes from the floor and head out.
I stand in the entry of the living room. The guys were playing video games except Gerard. He seemed nervous or worried.
"Um," I whisper to get their attention. The guys all scream "one minute" as they vigorously press the buttons on the controller. Gerard rolls his eyes and gets up and walks towards me. My heart skips a beat when he looks me in the eyes.
"Sorry about them. They probably won't get off of that game for hours." He says. He runs his fingers through his hair and gives a small sigh.
"I guess I should walk home." I say shuffling my feet. I really should be getting home I mean I'm probably getting on there nerves.
"Hell no! it's 3 a.m. and we are in New Jersey!" he says flashing a worried look on his face.
"Oh it's okay I'll call a cab or something I think I brought money," I say digging in my pant pocket. He places his hand on my hand.
"It's fine. You um could stay here you know." Yeah sure look where that got me last time I trusted a stranger.
"Well it's not that I don't like you. I mean you seem cool but it's just I don't know you too well." I say great I sound like a bitch. I bite my lip.
"Oh yeah, well I can at least drive you home or pay for your cab" he says.
"Um well-" I get interrupted and see a running Frank coming my way. Oh dear god. He gives me a VERY tight hug.
"I won!!!!! Ha!in your face Mikey and Ray!!!" Frank screams in my ear. He pulls away and proceeds to his victory jumping. Ray and Mikey hand him 5 dollar bills. I guess they bet.
"Whatever," they both mumble. I feel my cheeks getting warm and red from Frank's hug.
"Hey guys Sarah is about to leave," Gerard says with a hint of disappointment while he pours some coffee in aplastic cup.
"Yeah," I say looking down at my feet.
"Noooo don't go!!" Frank says in a whiney voice. What the fuck I barely know him and he's missing me? xD
"Yeah Sarah don't go. You can spend the night here if you want," Mikey says.
"Nah it's fine I'll call a cab," I say while dialing my phone.
"The address is 3405 cemetery drive," Gerard says.
"K," I repeat the address to the cab company. "Ok they'll be here in like 10 minutes," I say.
"Awww why do you have to go. You make Frankie cry," Frank says and pouts like a two year old. I giggle. Frank is so immature.
"Well we are going to get ready for bed make yourself at home." Ray says with a smile.
"Thanks," I whisper and sit myself on a couch. I pretend to be busy on my phone so I won't bother them.
"I'll get your blankets and pillows!" Frank says as he scurries off to the rooms in the halls. He comes back like 2 seconds later with a shit load of blankets. "Let's make a blanket fort!" Frank says while throwing the blankets on the couch and jumps around the room.
"Hell yeah!" they say in unison. This is them getting ready for bed? they are acting like two year olds having a sleepover. Frank runs around with a blanket tied around his neck like a superhero.
"Bitches can't tame me!!" Frank says.
I can't help but laugh. After they build their fort my cab is here ready outside.
"Well my cab is here. Bye I guess thanks so much for everything,"I feel a pang in my chest that I'm most likely to see these guys again. They seem pretty cool. They're all fun and hilarious.
"Let me walk you out," Gerard says.
"Wait Getard! Group hug first!" Frank says. I turn my head to see guys running towards me. They all pounce on me. Okay so I'm pretty tiny I'm 4foot 9 and I weight less than 100 pounds so of coarse I'm going to fall. I fall to my knees as they all still hug me tightly.
"We'll miss you!" they all say. After that sad episode and a couple farewell waves Gerard and I head out.
" I hope you have a safe trip home," he says as we walk downstairs. He opens the entry door to the apartments for me. We walk slowly to the cab.
"Oh I forgot! what about your clothes?" I say gesturing to the clothes I was wearing.
"Keep it it's fine. I don't need it. "
I nod.
"Thanks again," I say awkwardly. I shuffle my feet.
"Here," he says opening the door for me. "Here's some money for the drive there," he hands me a wad of cash in my palm.
"T-t-thanks but you've already done enough fo-" he interrupts me by placing a finger over my mouth.
"No please it's fine," he removes his finger. I step into the cab.
"Bye," I say as I reach for the cab door's handle to close the door. I feel a slip of paper in between my fingers. I look up to Gerard but he was gone. I close the door.
"Where to?" the cab driver says.
"Oh um 986 Gotham drive," I say. I pull out my phone to shine the light on the paper.

Paper: call me we should meet up again~g xoxo
His number was messily written on the scrap sheet of paper.
I feel a smile spread across my face. I lean back and watch as we pass by the street light posts.
