Linkin Undead (Hollywood Undead FanFic)

Nicknames

Last day of school until summer vacation

Year 1999, Jorel's sophomore year.

~Jorel~

Everyone was watching the clock. Aron, George, Matthew, and the others were by my side. It felt a bit funny without Mike in school, since he was a senior he got to graduate a couple weeks before school ended. Chester and him haven't been close as before, which was weird since we never really knew what was up. The clock hit 2:59. Everyone started the countdown from 60.

I wore my new Misfits shirt that I got for my birthday from Jordon with my grey jeans. People got up and ran to the door, watching the clock. George and Jordon joined the group. George decided to go to school the rest of his senior year. The teacher stood up, staring at all of them. He was a cool guy. Never once did he give a sh*t about me going and skipping the class. He'd know about it to. I guess the guy just got me.

"3...! 2...! 1!!!!" Everyone screamed. Jordon and George scooped me up and held me in the air, carrying me down the halls. The teachers all watched as they all ran down the corridor. Students flooded the commons, trying to get out of the door.

All 6 of us were one of them. Without noticing, Jordon and George rammed me into the doorway, bashing my head against the door, giving me a head rush. It felt like the whole world was spinning. I'd be fine in a couple seconds.

They set me down in the courtyard, and I fell flat on my butt before I could focus on things. I heard Tian's voice. She was standing in front of me, and Dominique were talking to the other guys.

"Are you okay?" Tian giggled, sitting criss-cross Apple sauce next to me.

Her hair was longer with purple tips. Her eyes were still a beautiful chocolate color. We were a bit different, honestly I didn't see her with me. I was too scraggly looking, too depressed. I looked Emo. Who would want to date someone who looked that way?

"Yeah. I'll probably have a goose egg, but I think I'll be fine." I gently brush my hair out of my face, feeling my head. There was already a bump.

You may have already guessed by now. I have a hopeless crush on Tian. Nothing could work out between us, it was just so obvious. My heart sank a little bit more just thinking about it. Was it depression taking over me? Or my insecurity?

My depression was so bad that I had to take pills for it. They didn't really help at all, so I haven't took them today. My mom was buying them for me, which made me feel guilty that she had to buy pills that hardly worked.

"Sleep over at my house bitches!" George exclaimed, making me jump slightly, "Who's up for it?!"

Everyone raised their hands except for me. I wanted to go home and lock myself in my room. Being around people just made me feel worse. A quiet dark room was something that I enjoyed. Sleeping was another thing that was fun. Dom took my hand and raised it up high. Tian grinned, then decided to embrace me while rocking me vigorously; basically shaking me. Dominique smiled widely, slowly wrapping my arms around Tian. I felt a blush come to my cheeks. It felt nice to get a hug once in awhile.

"How are we gonna fit them in the house?!" Dominique asked curiously.

George smirked at his sister, "Oh, you'll see.."

I lay sprawled out on the love seat, watching Dylan and Tian play Mortal Kombat. Everyone picked who was going to win. Everyone knew it was going to be Tian, since she already beat half the guys in our "championship".I was probably next, which I was definitely up for. Tian was interesting. Who wouldn't want to pay attention to her?

Mike was coming over. It took him awhile to get to Johnny's since it was across the city from his house. Chester.. I haven't heard from him ever since he graduated and went away for collage. Mike's heard some from him, it wasn't exciting things exactly. It was just about how he was in this class and blah, blah, blah. Who the hell cares about that sh*t? Only Parents.

"It's your turn J." Dylan called over, slightly groaning a bit since he lost.

Tian was grinning. I slowly got up and sat next to her on the floor, looking up at the TV. The controller was hooked up to the Play Station, and the PS connected to the TV. Cords strung everywhere on the television for no reason. For instance, a yellow cord with nothing plugged in to the other end hung from the back of it, a red one tangled up with it.

I chose my player, and the game started. Surprisingly, I was really into the game. Tian, well, she was possessed by it. Her character punched me in the face twice, and I watched my character's health slightly go down.

"J! J! J!" She exclaimed, "J-Doggy! Jorel!!"

"J-Dog?" I chuckled, kicking her green guy in the face. I forgot his name.

"Johnny 3 Tears, Da Kurlzz.." Dominique pointed at the others while saying their nicknames. Interesting.

"FunnyMan." Tian slurred. Her character was done with.

"Finish him!" The video game shouted. Ti's person seemed to be dazed. He spun around while stars floated around his head. I smirked, and punched her guy powerfully, and he was done for.

"Player 2 wins!" The television announced.

Tian sighed and kicked her legs. Everyone cheered, making me laugh.

"Oops..?" I look over at her, actually smiling.

Flash forward

~Mike~

"How about, 'Lincoln Park?'" Chester said, swinging in his wheelie chair.

It was actually a pretty good idea. We wanted to change the band's name so badly, because "Xero" was a name we came up with when we were finishing high school. It was our chance before we could get some record labels. Brad was on his slow computer, typing in the name.

"Nope, it's not going to work.." Brad sighed, turning to us.

"Try 'Lincoln park' with no 'O' and 'L', replace that with an 'I'." I suggested, and we all went to look at the name.

"Do you think they will accept that?" Rob turned to me, who was devastated by the name.

Linkin Park.

It looked awesome. Way better than "Lincoln Park". I felt like jumping for joy in that moment. I'm such a genius! People are definitely going to buy the album, and talk about it, "Have you heard of Linkin Park?" "No.." "Well, you better listen to it! It's frickin' awesome!"

I just let this run in my head for a couple more minutes. People will probably buy the album, since Chester has been in the band Stone Temple Pilots. Who doesn't dig that?!

"And that's how we get a record label." Brad turned to us, making us know that the name was sent and all of our info.

"Whoo!" I hollered, and everyone laughed.
