So Long And Good Night
Chapter -1-
Lydia POV
"I can't take it anymore!" I scrunch my hair into my hands and sob wildly. It was in the middle of the night, I had no cell- It died when i got here.Sitting up against a tree crying my droopy eyes out. I was a wreck. This is better though, than that town. Even my mother hated me. The thought of going back just made me cry more.
What is my purpose? Why am i here?
No one seems to like me anyway. I guess suicide without anyone knowing will cause less harm to my sister. I regret leaving her, but its for the best- really. My mum loves her, and im a piece of trash to her. One day, She wishes to be a singer and dancer. We would secretly go into my room and rock out to My chemical romance- ahh the joys. Atleast she was going to be happy.
So anyway, I've been walking for the past 2 days to get here, ontop of a hill under a tree, crying into my hands. I had a small bag with me, with my money. I figured i would need money to actually get somewhere. I sat under the starry sky and thought of what my sister said to me one day.
**Flashback**
"Lyd?" Prim asked me. It was the middle of the night, I was in my room, crying about my mum. She had a fiance that battered me to deat, and today he gave me a kick to the stomach and a punch to the face.
"Yeah?" I cried.
"What happened?!" She sighed, looking at my lip, which was bleeding.
"Gary Happened," I sniffled.
"Come on, let me clean you up," Prim smiled, leading me to the bathroom.
Prim was the bestest sister ever. You would think she hates me, but for some reason she says she loves me, even though we are totally different, and mum hates me.She got a cloth and put it under the cold water. She placed it on my lip, and i winced at the pain, though I got used to it. She got a plaster and placed it on the swollen lip.
"There," She smiled, proud of her work.
"I don't think the plaster will stay on," I yawned, looking in the mirror. My Long, black hair was laying lifelessly and my eyes had dark circles around them and to top it off, my lip was turning a dark purple.
"Don't worry, one day we will run away, run away from here!" Prim laughed.
"My Chem quote?" I smirked, thinking of Bulletproof Heart. We both chuckled and sat on my bed.
"Look at the stars," She was mezmerized by the sight, so i looked up to see thousands of glowing balls in the sky.
"Its beautiful," I smiled.
" Make a wish, its supposed to come true," She grinned.
"I could wish for alot of things," I sighed.
""Don't worry Lyds, it will get better, trust me," She got off my bed and walked to the door.
" I gotta go, ill see you tomorrow," She whispered, sneaking back to her room.
I looked up to the stars once more and wished.
"I wish that things will get better," I sighed, rolling under my covers and going to sleep.
**Flashback End**
"Make a wish hm?" I sobbed.
"I wish that things would stop! Everything! I need help now, I have nothing! I left my sister for her good, and this is what life repays? Sitting under a tree in the freezing cold?!" I shout, but I guess no one heard, and if they did, they must have thought i was some mad woman. I curled up under the tree, and started breathing slower, then i fell asleep.
=The Next Day=
I woke up to birds chirping lightly, and the sun rising. I've never seen a sun rise before. It was truely beautiful. I got up, and my legs were stiff from walking all this way. I brushed my hair with my fingers, trying to get as many knots as possible out. I grabbed my bag, and started walking again. My tummy grumbled, so I walked down the hill and tried to find the nearest starbucks. Yes, starbucks. Starbucks coffee was my life, and i really needed a coffee right now. I had bought £300 with me, because i haven't had the chance to spend it, so i think im good with money.
I walked a little into town, people walking round giving me death glares and they don't even know me.
What is society today?
I saw a starbucks, finally. Outside, there was a big van parked outside. I couldn't see what was on it, because i drew my attention to getting unto the shop and getting my coffee. I walked in and order my coffee. The cafe was half full, so there was a few spare tables. I sat at the window table, trying to get away from as many people as possible. I sat down, getting my hand mirror out and my eyeliner. I quickly applied some, trying to be as discreate as possible. I finished and put it away,and started drinking my coffee.Bliss.
Then a familiar face came into my view. He had black hair, just touching his shoulders, and he was wearing skinnies, with a hoodie and drinking coffee.
No. Its can't be.
I look to his left and see another familiar face, Mousy brown hair, with a beanie and t-shirt with skinnies on too, and trainers that looked pretty old.
Holy fucking crap.
I just stared in shock. Its not them.... is it? Unless they have like- twins.
"Damn it," I muttered, spilling my coffee on the table. They all immediately looked over.
HOLY SHIT HOLY MOTHERFUCKINGBUTTCRACKGOD. ITS THEM.
"Excuse me? You dropped it girl, clean it up," The rude waitress sneered at me asif i was a piece of shit.
"Oh- im sorry," I looked down an grabbed some napkins, wiping the mess up. I heard laughs and sneers from all over the cafe, then i heard footsteps coming towards me.
"So the emo decides to turn up here? You are unwanted here, back the fuck off, this is our place, not yours," The boy laughed evily, kneeing my stomach. I fell to the floor in pain and looked over to the group of men, who stood there in disbelief. Then one of the men, walked over to the boy, and punched him in the face. Everyone went silent, and i silently cried into my sleeve.
"Are you ok?!" The man said, shocked.
"I-ithink so," I sniffled, groaning at my stomach. I looked up and confirmed my suspicions... its them.
"Come with us a second," He smiled, leading me to the table.
"Im Gerard, this is Mikey, my brother, Frank and Ray, friends of ours," He grinned.
"I'm Lydia, and you probably know that I already know you," I chuckled, showing Gerard my T-shirt.
I had a My Chemical Romance t-shirt, with a black hoodie covering it.
"Oh," Gerard Blushed, scratching his neck.
"So what brings you here to this deserted place?" Mikey asked me, bringing up a conversation.
"uhm... I ran away from home," I looked at the table, still in shock that I had met the one and only, My Chem.
"Why?!" Frank stared at me in disbelief.
"Long story, basically-" I got cut off when Gerard started speaking
"Maybe we should talk about this in the tour bus, people are staring,"
"Yeah, lets go," Ray nodded, and we all walked out of the shop and into the tourbus. It was warm, with sofa's everywhere and the most heavenly scent i had ever smelt.
"So, explain woman," Mikey giggled.
"Well, My mum hates me, my school hates me, my stepdad hates me, and the only person who actually likes me is my sister Prim. I got badly bullied in school, and i don't want prim to suffer either. Also i get countlessly beaten by my stepdad and i was a piece of shit to my mom," I finished, looking down. Everyone went silent, and then Gerard spoke.
"That must have been really hard, im sorry," He looked asif he was about to cry.
"Do you have anywhere to go?" Frank asked.
"Nope, just me," I sighed.
"hmm," Frank smirked, looking at the others. They all were doing some kind of telepathic thing, and i had no idea of what they were doing.
"Uhm... Guys?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Lydia, would you like to come on tour with My Chemical Romance as a backstage guest?" Gerard smirked. I was speechless, literally. Words wouldn't come out of my mouth.
Are you guys sure? I don't wanna cause trouble..." I replied.
"We are very very sure," Mikey smiled cheerfully. Unable to get words out, I just nodded and They all cheered.
"WOO! Wait... Do you have any spare clothes? You spilt coffee all over yours," Gerard asked.
"Uhm, no i don't," I replied, looking at my stained t-shirt.
"SHOPPING TIME!" Ray squealed, nearly bursting my ear drums. I giggled and then realised.
"But I don't have any money," I sighed.
"But we do," Mikey winked.
"So, you come into a cafe, Gerard punches a man, picks up a random girl off the street, then offers her to stay," I smirked.
"Yes because we are SO kind," Gerard stuck his nose up to make him look like a guinea pig trying to reach the water bottle. I giggled at the thought.
"I DO NOT LOOK LIKE A GUINEA PIG!" Gerard pouted.
"Oops, i said that outloud," We all burst into laughs.
"I like this girl," Frank breathed.
"Well, there aren't many shops around here, i think we saw some on the other side of town," Mikey shrugged.
"Lets go!!!" Ray squealed once again. I gave him a death glare. He suddenly went quiet.
"Gee, she scares me," Ray sniffed. I rolled my eyes.
"and you scare us, with that unbelievably high squeal," Gerard smirked."Your balls dropped yet?"
"Now thats a fucking deathwish," Ray shouted, chasing Gerard around the bus. I burst into laughing fits, whilst Mikey walked in stunned.
"Uh, guys?" Mikey stuttered.
"GEE ASKED ME WHETHER MY BALLS HAVE DROPPED," Ray pouted. That just made me burst into more laughing fits.
"Anyone actually noticed there is now a guest in our bus? especially a girl?" Mikey sighed. The pair of children stopped running around and nodded.
"Yes mother Mikey," Ray muttered under his breath.
"Anyway, I told the bus driver to take us to the nearest mall, and that was 5 minutes ago, so We have time for...." Mikey stopped, and Gerard gave him a glance.
"COFFEE!!!!" Gerard shouted, running over to the mini kitchen.
"Want one Lyd?" Gerard called. He used my nickname. HE USED MY NICKNAME.
Stop fangirling Lydia, you have no chance anyway.
"Fuck," I muttered under my breath. "Sure," I looked up and smiled.
"Ok, and why did you say fuck?" Gerard raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, nothing," I shook my head.
"uh- ok," He said, focusing on making the coffee.
We were all sat on the couch talking about random things. Turns out Ray thinks unicorns are real. I had to agree on that one, and we all eventually got everyone else to believe they were real. Also, apparently Mikey is like the mother around here, and the incident that happened with ray and Gee happens alot.
"COFFEE TIME!" Gerard shouted, making us all flinch. Gerard handed me a mug, which was warm and made me feel at home. I took a sip and it was heavenly.
"This coffee is better than starbucks," I looked at Gerard, who was blushing.
"The coffee master," Frank winked at Gerard.
"The sass master also," Ray smirked.
"Too sassy for you," Gerard clicked his fingers. We all giggled.
"Guys, we are here," Mikey said, motioning to the door.
"I can't take it anymore!" I scrunch my hair into my hands and sob wildly. It was in the middle of the night, I had no cell- It died when i got here.Sitting up against a tree crying my droopy eyes out. I was a wreck. This is better though, than that town.
