Love Is A Fire, and It Burns Down All That It Sees {Joey Jordison Romance}

Chapter 26: Cure For a Heartbreak From The Crossdresser

When I finally finished I got out and saw Twiggy in the kitchen reading a magazine.
“watcha reading?” I asked
“oh...just an article that you wrote on that one goth magazine” he said showing me the magazine making me giggle a bit
“hungry?” he asked
“nah, I’m actually tired”
“oh well you can take my room—I’ll just sleep on the couch”
“thanks”
“no prob—but if you need anything, anything at all—even a shoulder to cry on—call me!”
“ok” I said laughing as I left to go to his room. I lied down on the bed and sighed. How could Joey and my own father do this to me? I just wanted to cry all night but at the same time I wanted to kill Joey for making me feel this way. The thought of it just made me cry. Then minutes later I heard a knock. I quickly sat up and sniffled a bit
“yea?” I said
“hey its Twiggy, can I come in?” came Twiggy’s worried voice
“er—yea” I said as he opened the door and came in
“hun are you ok?” he asked sitting next to me, I didn’t say anything
“you wanna talk about it?” he asked
“no…I just wanna die” I said crying some more
“no! don’t say that! Theres people who really care about you, and would be sad to see you go away like that” he said hugging me
“yea I know” I said sniffling as I calmed down
“don’t worry things will get better… I promise” he said kissing my head as he held me in his arms
“besides…. Maybe you heard wrong, or maybe they didn’t mean to say it in a bad way and you probably understood wrong” he said running his fingers through my hair
“yea…MAYBE” I mumbled
“get some rest kid…and tomorrow I expect to see you with a smile!” he said letting me go to stand up
“fiiiine!” I said faking an angry tone while he left. Then after that I sighed and lied back down in bed pulling the covers over me. It felt good to talk to someone instead of doing something stupid like killing myself. Tomorrow I’ll just pretend like this shit didn’t happen, straighten some shit up with my dad and kill Joey! Well not literally but I’ll do something bad to him! then its off to the bar with the guys and dancing with the girls—then some more chaos! I thought to myself with a smile as I fell asleep. The next morning I woke up to someone knocking on the door
“come in” I said in a raspy voice and sat up as Twiggy came in with a tray of food
“morning!” he said cheerfully with a huge smile
“er…morning” I said returning the smile but gave him a weird look
“what? I thought I’d bring you some breakfast to start off the day” he said bringing the tray to my lap and sat next to me
“who are you and what have you done with my uncle Twiggy?!” I asked
“what?” he asked laughing I shook my head
“eat!” he commanded as he took the fork and used it to stuff a pancake into my mouth making me laugh
“ok ok Twiggy—I think I could do it myself” I said taking the fork away from him
“alrighty then—oh! Theres someone here who wants talk to you”
“what?! Who?!—don’t fucking tell me its my dad or Joey”
“no don’t worry its Ginger”
“oh! Thank god!...... well bring him fucking in!”
“right!—GINGER!!!”
“HELLO!” Ginger yelled as he kicked the door open
“fuck Ginger! Do you have to kick the door open?! You’re gonna wake Acey, Ben and their bitches!” Twiggy said
“oh right—sorry!” Ginger said quietly as he also closed the door quietly
“Ben has a girl now?” I asked
“yup—they met last night at the club” Ginger said
“yea they moved to fast if you ask me” Twiggy said
“well as long as hes happy” I said
“speaking of happiness and bitches—how are you love?” Ginger asked sitting on my other side
“pretty fucking crappy” I said
“so I’ve heard—I’m sorry” he said hugging me
“well Ginger told me something that I think you should hear” Twiggy said
“ok?” I said
“ok so everyone heard about the fight between you your dad and Joey—cuz of Wednesday of course—so I got pissed and decided to go investigate cuz that just doesn’t sound like something your dad or even maybe Joey would do” Ginger started
“ok and the point is?” I asked
“ok so I went to go find your dad and talked to him—and I did and he explained the whole thing! They weren’t really doing anything bad”
“what the fuck are you talking about?”
“well how can I explain this?—well he didn’t have anything to do with yours and Erics break-up and he hated to see you so sad when you two broke up so he made Joey be your boyfriend—”
“that’s fucking terrible!”
“bitch! I’m not finished!”
“fuck! Alright hurry up man whore!”
“man whore?!”
“yes—man whore”
“wa—”
“can you two shut up! October be quiet and listen!—Ginger finish up!” Twiggy said
“ok ok—so your dad only made him do it cuz he knew he had a thing for you and he thought you two would make a good couple—and he only did this to make you happy!” Ginger said happily
“……he sent you didn’t he?” I said
“no! dude if you don’t believe me you can ask him yourself if you like!”
“fine then I will!” I said laughing
“ok then!—MAAANNSSONNN!!!” he yelled as the door slowly opened to reveal my dad coming in
“hey” he said
“umm—we’ll just leave you two alone!” Twiggy said grabbing Ginger’s arm and dragged him out of the room, and then there was an awkward silence.
“sweetheart I’m really really sorry!” he finally said
“I didn’t know what to do and I really didn’t want to see you unhappy…” he continued
“why did you do it? why Joey?” I asked quietly
“because I didn’t want you to be sad cuz of Eric and I knew Joey liked you—more than a friend—since he saw you at Ozzfest”
“I thought he said hes never seen me?”
“he just said that—but the truth is he did see you its just that he was to fucking nervous and scared to talk to you, so then after you and Eric broke up, I encouraged Joey to be with you cuz I knew him better and longer which meant that I did actually trust him with you……plus I knew that you had a thing for him too”
“wait!—how’d you know that?!”
“I saw the way you looked and talked to him when we were back home—it was VEEEERY obvious that you liked him as well”
“oh”
“so do you forgive me? I’m really sorry hun—and you know I would never do anything to hurt you cuz you’re my only daughter and I love you”
“of course I forgive you dad—I love you too!” I said hugging him as I felt small tears stream down my face
“just promise me you’ll never do anything like that again! It really hurt me” I said looking at him
“of course I promise!” he said wiping a tear away and kissed my forehead
“so are you gonna take Joey back?” he asked
“of course I’m not!” I said giggling
“why?”
“cuz I’m not sure if I should believe that he has feelings for me”
“well he does—at least give him a chance”
“dad, right now I’m really pissed off about what happened—and for now I need to be alone, and if he still does actually love me then he has to prove it and show me that he does actually love me”
“well alright”
“and don’t tell Joey about what I just told you—I want him do this himself with no help”
“alright then” he said rolling his eyes and took some of my toast
“well I have to go and call Dita, I’ll see you later—oh and Wednesday and Elizabeth are outside, they wanna talk to you” he said getting up
“well tell them to get their assess in here!” I said
“ok then—love you, bye” he said kissing my head and took one of my pancakes and stuffed it in his mouth making me laugh and then he left, and in seconds Wednesday and Elizabeth came right in
“October! How are you?! I heard everything! I’m sooo sorry!” Elizabeth yelled running towards me to hug me
“Elizabeth! Fuck I am so fucking sorry for leaving you at the library last night!” I said hugging her back
“bitch! Its ok!” she said sitting next to me and took some of my food
“ooooh pancakes!” Wednesday said taking one and shoving it in his mouth
“great! The one time that Twiggy actually cooks breakfast and gives it to me and it all goes to waste!” I said shoving some scrambled eggs into my mouth
“wow—Twiggy did this?! He cooked?!” Elizabeth asked
“yup” I answered
“shit dude—I never knew he could cook”
“I didn’t either” I said laughing as her phone rang
“I’ll get it!” she yelled answering it
“hello?!...heeeeey!....yup hold on!” she said then looked at me
“I’ll talk to you guys later—its Ruby!” she said giving Wednesday a kiss and then she left
“I’m so happy that you two are together” I told him
“thanks” he said chuckling
“so are you ok about the whole thing last night?”
“well kinda now…now all I want to do is kill Joey”
“interesting…well then I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping and cause chaos around the ship with me?”
“wellll ok!” I said happily as I drank some juice
“sweet! Well I’ll wait for you in the living room while you get ready”
“ok” I said as he got up and left closing the door behind him, then I set the food aside and quickly got out of bed and changed into the clothes I wore yesterday since I was still at Twiggy’s, then I tried fixing my hair and removed my smeared make-up and went out to where Wednesday was who was talking to Twiggy, Acey, Azrael, Ben, and an unfamiliar girl.
“hey Wends ready to go?” I asked
“hey hun why aren’t you wearing your make-up?” Twiggy asked
“eh” was all I said as I shrugged
“wanna use mine?”
“nah its ok”
“oh October! I want you meet my girlfriend!” Ben said excitedly
“October this is my lovely bitch—I mean girlfriend Amii—Amii this is one of my bestest friends October!” Ben said.
“we’ve known each other since high school and I found her last night and thought 'what the hell! I sure as hell' didn’t want to lose her again so I went over to her and the rest is history!” he said proudly. She had piercings on eyebrow, labret, tongue, nose, naval, ear x16, hips and as for tattoos she had Slipknot logo on upper left arm [say hello to AmiiJordison from Quizilla] I smiled and walked over to her
“hello!” I said shaking her hand
“hi! So you’re Marilyn Manson’s daughter! You must be really lucky to have him as a father” she said shaking my hand as well
“yup…lucky” I said giggling a bit, trying not to remember what happened last night
“alrighty then! We’ll see you guys later! We’re gonna go shopping!” Wednesday said grabbing my arm so we can leave
“oh! Hold up!” Twiggy said quickly getting up and ran to his room then came back in seconds with a black bag
“here take this just in case” he said handing it to me
“thanks?” I said taking it and looked at for a bit
“no prob babe!” he said kissing my head then sat back on the couch and with that Wednesday and I were off to lord knows where we were going.
“so where are we going to shop at?” I asked as we entered the elevator
“oh you’ll see!” he said with a grin as he jumped at one spot
“Wednesday!!!”
“fine! Fuck I wanted to surprise you but, we’re gonna go to a costume place”
“WEDNESDAY! That’s fucking awesome!” I said hugging him as the doors opened then we ran out and he led me to the costume shop. When we got there we immediately started looking around and picked out some outfits to try out
“so Wends, what was the point of coming here anyways?” I asked from the dressing room while I was changing
“well, I decided that I should let you pick one out so you can keep it” he said from the dressing room next to me
“really?”
“yup—Elizabeth was supposed to be here as well but who knows where shes at now”
“cool” I said as I finished and got out of the stall
“how do I look?” I asked as I saw Wednesday also come out. I was wearing a goth lookin ballerina outfit while Wednesday was wearing a cheerleader costume
“you look ok—how do I look?” he said twirling around
“you look ok as well, but maybe we should spice it up—what do you think?”
“hmmmmm—oh! I know! We should get matching costumes!”
“fucking great idea Weds! But of what?”
“oh oh oh I know! Stay here!” he said running off, and in a few minutes he came back with 2 costumes
“here I’ll wear this one and you wear this one!” he said throwing a costume at me as he ran into the stall
“ok” was all I said as I got back into the stall and changed. Then we both got out of the stalls at the same time
“shit! You look fucking sexy!” we both said to each other at the same time as we laughed
“that’s it we’re taking these!” he yelled
“fuck yea!—oh wait! I have to get these shoes!” I said grabbing a pair and strapped them on
“ok! Oh!—WE have to get wigs!” he said looking at them
“ok!” I said picking one out and put it on, while he did the same.
“there! Now we look hot!—now lets go pay!” he yelled
“yea but we should get Elizabeth a costume too!”
“of course! Wait here!” he said running to get a costume then he came back
“ok got it now lets get our shit and pay!” he said as we went to get our clothes. We went to go pay, and the clerks were nice enough to give us a bag so we could put our clothes in and walk out of the shop wearing our costumes. Once we finished paying we walked out of the shop with our heads raised high.
“ooooh I wonder what Twiggy has in this, and why he gave it to me” I said looking at the small bag he had given me
“well open it up!” Wednesday yelled
“ok!” I said opening it find a shit load of makeup
“well isn’t that nice! He let me borrow his makeup!” I squealed
“just what we fucking need! C’mon lets put some on!” he said grabbing my arm again leading me into the girl’s bathroom
“um Wends, we’re in the chicks bathroom—you’re a dude” I said
“well they don’t know that! See!” he said twirling round making me laugh as we started putting some makeup on. After that shit we went around the ship just wandering around and talking while people just gave us weird looks, but we didn’t care
“so…how are you taking the whole Joey and dad thing so far?” he asked
“well I’ve already forgiven my dad, but not Joey”
“well…Joeys not really a bad guy you know”
“hmmm”
“it wasn’t his fault and he does care about you, you know”
“Wednesday, my dad explained everything—I know already but I’m just not sure if I want to take him back…if he cared for me he would show it to me…but for now I just wanna be single for a while. I've been through two fucking heart breaks in less than a week in this fucking ship.” I said as he nodded
“hey lets go drink!” he said changing the subject
“ok!” I said finishing up my makeup.
"Perfect!" Wednesday said as we looked at ourselves in the mirror. We were dressed up to look like drag queen nurses in pink and red wigs with exagerated makeup and 6 inch platforms! We laughed and ran out of the restroom to the nearest bar we could find. Then when we got there I saw Joey from the window making me freeze.

“whats wrong?!” Wednesday asked chuckling
“Joey” was all I said
“oh shit! Lets go some other place then”
“no! its ok…I’ll be ok—lets go” I said as I led him into the bar.
