With that I hung up the phone. I started packing in left overs and snacks from the cupboards into my bag then I heard a fumbling at the door. ”This is the Jenkins house. Poor girl must be traumatised about her parents. Well we have to clear out the stuff so we can auction the house at noon tomorrow”
I bolted out the kitchen to my room. I pried open the window and started to climb out. Oh shit my I pod! I scrambled back in and lifted it off the floor then slipped out the window closing it behind me. I ran as fast as I could out to the street back to where I belonged. Out in the street.
I woke up under my willow tree with my head off the pillow and my doona all twisted and dirty. I sighed and sat up. I must not of slept a wink last night because it just day break. I then checked my phone for the time. 5:00pm! This isn’t day break! Its sunset I slept through the whole day! I picked up my phone and used my secondary camera to put on my makeup and fix my hair then I pulled on a pair of black skinny legs, a singlet and my converse. Food time! I opened the leaves from the tree to come out. My chemical Romance is doing another show! How come I didn’t know about this? I ran across the park to the Shannoks theatre and lined up. “Sorry love tickets are sold out.”
“What that’s impossible I HAVE to see this show!”
“No I’m sorry but you can’t”
He then pulled the curtain down on the ticket booth and closed the doors. I walked away slowly then felt someone holding my arm and I spun around “Oh my gosh! You’re Alkira aren’t you?”
I nodded and looked at the typical girly girl in front of me. “ALL of my friends follow you on Tumblr and the whole school knows about you.”
I smiled and started walking away slowly. “Do you mind taking a photo with me?”
I slowly nodded and smiled at the camera lens when she took the photo. “Thank you so much! My friends would be so jealous I met you!”
With that she scampered off into the theatre showing the security guards her ticket. Just for that split moment I wished I was her and I wished that I was in that concert. But the thing is I don’t know if it would ever be the same now because, well, I have their number and they have mine and I know that their fans of mine. MINE. It was just so… weird thinking about it that way. I mean I would sit at home reading fan fic and making up my own fantasies about me being in a similar situation. But living it, it just feels so UN natural. I took another look at the theatre when I head fans screaming out Save Yourself I’ll Hold Them Back with MCR. I looked down to the ground and shed a tear. That was one of my favourite songs by them. I pursed my lips and wished they performed this song when I went yesterday. I sat down in the gutter and found a piece of glass and cut gashes in my wrist. I had no point of living. I had nowhere to go and no one cares about me. Not anymore. Then the glass hit my nerve and blood poured everywhere on the pavement. I could feel myself getting dizzy and light headed. The whole world seemed to spin around me then I started to fall back. That’s when everything went black…
“Sweet heart? Sweet heart?”
I could hear someone trying to talk to me the voice sounded so familiar. Yet it felt like I’ve lived with his voice forever. “Darling please look at me.”
The voice I finally knew it. It was my dad’s. It worked! I’m finally dead. It’s so peaceful and it feels like I’m floating on a sea of clouds with my father’s voice talking to me before all this shit started. Before he was an alcoholic. Before him and mom got into drugs. Before I got into drugs. “Alkira!”
I opened my eyes to reveal red hair flowing past his ear and the left side of his hair tucked behind his ear. His dark eyes looking insanely into mine. His fingers were entwined with mine and his breath was warm against my skin. This man was not my father. I sprung up trying to get away. I didn’t know where I was or who I was with. Everything was scaring me. “Help! Help!”
“Shhh Alkira what’s wrong it’s okay you don’t have to worry your safe with us.”
I looked down at the king sized double bed I was lying on the at the man I was talking too. I knew that there were other people in the room but I couldn’t see anyone clearly. I looked to and from everyone trying to make out who anyone is. “I’m scared.”
“It’s okay sweet heart. Come here.”
I looked at the man unsure and put my head in his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. I then noticed I had bandages soaked with blood around my wrists. “You do know who we are right?”
I looked straight into those dark eyes. I’ve seen them before. I’ve dreamed about them and I think I just fell in love with them. “Alkira, its Gerard! Please tell me you remember us.”
Of course it seemed a lot clearer now. Of course it’s Gerard! I then noticed that the people standing around were Mikey, Frank and Ray. I let go of Gerard’s arms and looked at everyone. “It’s us sweet heart your safe now.”
“Where am I?”
“That doesn’t matter right now what happened to you!”
“Just please tell me where I am.”
They looked two and from each other and Frank took over from where Gerard was sitting. Frank the grabbed my hand “You’re in a hotel right near where we found you.”
“How did you even manage to get me?”
“Well at the end of the concert fans started screaming and shit so we went outside. Then we saw you. We couldn’t believe it Alkira .So we got the security guards to send the fans back inside whilst us boys carried you to a hotel and checked us in. Why where you even bleeding in the first place.”
“I tripped.”
Lies. “You tripped?”
I knew they didn’t believe me so I tried to put on a brave face and sit up. “Yeah I did, my wrist must have broken the fall.”
“Right.”
I looked to and from them. I could feel my smile fading. Anyways my parents would be worried I’m not home so I better leave.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to stay for the night? You could trip again. We can call your parents if they’re worried.”
“NO!”
They jumped back and starred at me. I cleared my throat. “What I meant to say was, I don’t want you going out your way for me. I hate people doing stuff for me. I guess its cause I feel like burden or something. Anyways thank you very-very much for taking care of me.”
Gerard jumped up but Ray pushed him back down and gave him a look as I left the room. I walked out the doors and into the lobby. I knew exactly where I was now. This was the most expensive hotel in Victoria! I can’t believe I was staying here. I never even dreamed I would check into this hotel let alone with My Chemical Romance. I walked out and back across to the park. I slowly walked up to my tree and opened the branches and stepped inside to reveal my doona pillow and duffle bag sprawled out across the floor. Why did they even have to save me in the first place. I was alright I was fine with dyeing. Why? I sighed and looked for my iPod. Oh crap I think I forgot my hand bag in the hotel and it has my iPod in it! I quickly got out of my doona and opened the branches to get out. “Glad to see you’re at home safe with your parents.”
