Clearwater [Mikey Way]

And just as the sun is going down and the activity staff go home, Mikey and I snuck out to meet up with Sammi and her friends.

As we walk I turn to him.

"Wait, Taylor isn't coming is she? Because no offence but I don’t like her and I will probably cut her." I say, earning a bored glare but not a mean one.

"No. She won't be there. She doesn’t know I still hang out with Sammi and the other guys other than a few little conversations every now and then so, let's keep this our little secret, okay?" He asks and I nod.

"Cross my heart and hope to die." I say and draw a cross over my heart with my finger, earning a chuckle from him.

"You know, you're not that bad. You just come off all scary and dangerous but you seem okay." he says, obviously choosing his words carefully after the incident in the cabin.

I chuckle and shrug.

"If you're nice to me, I'm nice to you. Hence me punching you. You were being a prick." I say and he smiles slightly

"Yeah. Sorry about that." he says, scratching the back of his neck with a cute, shy smile on his face.

I chuckle and look around. "Where are we actually going? And wont we get in trouble for sneaking out?" I ask, chewing on my bottom lip.

He just chuckles.

"I know where we're going. And you don’t exactly seem like the type to care whether or not you get in trouble at a music camp." He says and I roll my eyes.

"Just don’t get us lost. And I don’t. You seem like the type, though." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Not really." He says and I chuckle.

"Yeah. Bull-Fucking-Shit you don’t." I say and he gives me another bored glare

He's about to answer back when he's cut off by Sammi running over and throwing her arms around me with a grin on her face.

"Awesome. You made it!" She cries and I give Mikey a terrified look while he just smiles, shaking his head.

After a while, she lets go and drags me and Mikey into the forest.

All I think is Oh Great. I'm gonna be murdered at music camp.
What a way to go…

But no.
She doesn’t kill us and instead, I'm dragged up a ladder nailed into a tree and up into a massive treehouse with walls covered in posters of a few different bands and music blasting.

My eyes skim over the walls and a grin spreads across my face.

"This place is sick." I say to Sammi as she drags me over to a group of three guys and about four girls and pulls me down to sit on the floor with her.

She tells everyone my name and most of them actually recognize me.

Turns out word of my little stunt with Taylor this morning got around quickly.

I smile and nod my hello to them before I'm bombarded with questions like "Have you been to jail?! We heard you did." and "What's it like in court?!"

I just smile and answer their questions politely.

No point getting mad at them.
It's not like they're being little assholes about them.

Just by the way, I've never been in jail.
That's why I'm here in case you didn't get the message.
Yes I've been to court.
And holy fuck it's scary.

Sammi rolls her eyes and manages to get them to shut up before introducing them to me.

"Okay. So, these are the guys. Ray, Bob and Frank. And these are my sisters-but-not-really Alice, Tamara, Sage and Jade. Sage and Jade are sisters, though. They're the twinnies!" She says hyperactively, making me smile.

I give each of them a nod and that’s when Gerard comes and sits down, pulling Sammi onto his lap.

She squeals slightly but leans back on him.

I chuckle at them and roll my eyes.

Whether they admit it or not, they're a thing.

"We got booze yet?" One of the girls, Sage I think, asks.

I grin even wider. "You guys have booze here?!" I asked excitedly and I hear Mikey chuckle from behind me and he takes a seat next to me.

"Whenever someone can get their hands on a bottle of tequila or something." He says. "Did Patrick say he definitely had it?"

Alice nods "yeah. I spoke to him before. He said he had them and that Pete managed to grab a couple of beers too." She says, earning a cheer from nearly everyone in the room, including me.

"New girl likes drinking. Therefore I like you. Welcome to the sister hood. We have slaves, see? That one's a chair." Tamara says, pointing at Gerard.

I giggle slightly and notice Jade giving me a look.

"Wait a minute, do you play anything good or are you just here because you play the fucking flute or some shit?" She asked, earning a soft slap from her sister.

"If she played the flute, Magda wouldn’t have roomed her with Mikey." She says and Jade makes an "oh" face.

"Oh yeah. Hehe. Anyway, do you play anything? Or sing? Because we need a singer and another guitarist for our band and you seem like someone who'd be pretty good in a band." She says and I smile.

"Yeah. I can play pretty much anything and I sing." I say and she breaks out in a grin.

Actually, Sage, Jade AND Alice do.

"You've stolen their fucking hearts. Impressive." I hear a new voice say.

I turn and see four new guys.

One chubbier one with glasses and a fedora
One short one with black hair swooping over one eye
One with hair and A LOT of it.
And another one covered in tattoos and with long red hair.

Sammi gets up, grinning and running over to them, hugging each one before dragging them over.

Okay, I know I say that she drags people a lot but that's literally what she does.
You don’t have to walk because she will just drag you along the ground by your hair.
… okay arm.

"Missy!ThisisPatrick,Andy,JoeandPatrick--I MEANPete!" She says at warp speed. "Make friends or die!"

I give her a funny look before looking Patrick, who was up front, up and down.

"hey, aren't you the girl that made Taylor shit herself? That was awesome. The slut had it coming." he says and Mikey calls "Hey!", obviously hearing it too. "I get enough of that from her."

Patrick just chuckles and flips him off. "You know your slut is going to be insulted here. And it looks like we finally found someone brave enough to say it to not only her face but her boyfriends as well. Welcome to Camp Clearwater, Missy." He says with a cute smile.

I smile back at him and salute him the same way I did to Sammi.

He smiles and calls Pete over "hey! He does that too." he says as Pete does almost the same thing except licking his fingers twice before.

I chuckle and high-five him before walking back to the circle and sitting down again.

I thought Mikey would have sat with me again but no.
Patrick sits down next to me instead.

Not that I'm complaining, you know.
He's cute.

Sammi suddenly sits on Gerard again with a glass of something in hand.

I give her a look and she takes a sip before passing it to me.

"It's just tequila and something else. Tastes alright." She says and I shrug, taking a sip.

It's not too bad but its booze so meh.

I take another sip before passing it to Patrick.

"I'm borrred!" A slightly drunk Pete complains before holding an empty beer bottle up. "Spin The Bottle!" he yells, gaining looks from everyone else.

"What are you 12?" Gerard asks, also a little tipsy.

"Yup. Turning 13. Now shut up and get in a circle.' Pete demands and we all agree with a huff.

He's still grinning as he puts the bottle down in the centre of the wonky circle we formed.

"Who's spinning first?" He asks and I sigh, raising my hand.
I'm pretty ballsy like that.

"Okay! Oh, and I'm changing the rules. Whoever breaks the kiss first loses. I'LL BE TIMING THIS SHIT AND THERE WILL BE A PUNISHMENT!" he yells with a devious smirk and I just sigh and facepalm.

"No. Fuck you. I didn’t sign up for that." I say and he just grins and shakes his head.

"Too bad. Spin." He says and I roll my eyes and give it a good hard spin.

I probably did spin it way too hard because it just keeps going and going and going before it finally stops dead.

Dead on the dork that wears a knit cap in the forest.

Dead on Mikey.
