I'm Taking Back the Life You Stole

Once everyone had settled into their economy class seats on the plane, Miki started to fidget. She sat in the middle seat, with Bert to her right and Sami to her left. She was terrified of heights and plane rides were never her favorite thing to experience. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, squeezing Bert's hand tightly. "Jesus, Miki!" He snatched his hand away. "You're gonna take my fucking hand off." Miki sighed and through the corner of her eye, saw Sami roll her eyes, "Babe I'm sorry... I'm just nervous. Did you bring anything?" He nodded and pulled out a small bottle. "Oh yeah. Here, this'll make you stop flipping your lid." He deposited two small pills in her hand and sat back. "Thanks, baby." Miki murmured and quickly swallowed the pills.

Four and a half hours later, Miki woke up to Sami shaking her gently. "Hey darlin'. We're here," Sami grinned and jumped up from her seat. Miki blinked and stood up slowly. Sami laughed and watched her, "You okay? Whatever he gave you must've been pretty strong." Bert rolled his eyes and grabbed Miki's hand forcefully, "She's gonna be fine. Let's go."

They exited the plane and grabbed their bags from the baggage claim and were met by an older looking man with a large sign that read "The Used". "Guys, this is us." Quinn said and nodded towards the man. They loaded their bags into the trunk of a sleek black limousine and settled into the backseat of the vehicle.

Miki eased her hand out of Bert's grip and gazed out of the windows at the city and nudged Sami, "Isn't this beautiful?". Sami smiled and laid her head against Miki's shoulder, "I love it. I've always wanted to visit New York City." Jepha laughed and looked over at them, "It's pretty great, but not as great as you think it's gonna be. I'm sure My Chem will show us a good time." Miki nodded and turned back to the window.

Miki tuned the rest of the conversation out on the hour long ride to the hotel they would be staying in and stared out of the window. Somehow, the lights and people seemed to ease the anxiety and nervousness she felt about meeting five new people while also impressing them and keeping her shit together. Sami had already assured her several times before that everything would be fine but Miki had her doubts. From interviews she'd seen and the way Bert and his bandmates spoke of My Chemical Romance, she thought they seemed like pretty decent guys, but that did nothing to ease her mind. Sami, on the other hand, was beside herself. She loved making new friends and having new opportunities to travel, party, and have fun.

The limousine finally pulled up to the front of a very nice hotel and stopped. The driver directed them to go inside the lobby, check into their rooms, and let the band know they made it. Miki grabbed her bag from the trunk and walked inside and watched as Bert checked them into their rooms. Once they got to their floor, the group congregated into Bert and Miki's room and relaxed onto the chairs and loveseat. Bert grabbed his phone and dialed Gerard Way's number and grinned at Miki, "Here goes,".
