Life on the Murder Scene || Gerard Way Horror Romance

34: California Dreamin'

Juliette's POV:

It was early in the morning and our day of travel! I was so excited that I barely slept and I expected to be quite grumpy but it was the complete opposite. It was 5 am. I got dressed in something cute but comfy.

Everyone brought their luggage to our house and waited for the Uber there. Everyone was quite tired and kinda moody. I could understand why though.

 Let me give you an example of what happened this morning: Frank was sitting on the couch taking up the entire thing. The rest just sat in the dining room eating. I couldn't bother eating because I didn't have an appetite. I kept running all over the house making sure I have everything and packing my carry on, which was my red backpack covered in band patches. I guess me making noise and running up and down the stairs annoyed Frank. "Will you calm the fuck down? Jesus Christ..." he said as I walked past him for what felt like the 100th time. "Excuse me mr. attitude? Sorry I'm not fucking miserable this morning!" I groan annoyed. "You're running all over the place! Up and down, down and up. It's too much noise." He rolls his eyes crossing his arms. I scoff at him, "Rat bastard." I hear Gerard sigh before he says, "You two stopppp. It's too early for this shit." 

We all get in the Uber Black and while on the way to the Airport which was about an hour drive Mikey decides to get an attitude with me. MIKEY! Of all fucking people! 

Gerard was in the front next to the driver, I was sitting in-between Frank and Mikey. Mikey was by the window. Ray sat next to Frank but there was a space in-between them so we could access luggage from the seats in the way back. Confusing, I know. 

I was looking out the window because what else was there to look at? "Stop staring at me." I was confused on who he was talking to at first, "I'm not staring at you!" I got defensive. "Yes you are!" I just hear Gerard sigh and shake his head. "Was not! I was staring out the window." Mikey rolls his eyes. 

We get to the airport and I rush out of the car first accidentally hitting Ray in the face with my backpack. I fell a tug on my bag, "You hit me!" I'm now face to face with Ray. "Sorry! I didn't mean to!" He lets go and I stumble out the car. 

I immediately pull out a cigarette and take a drag. "Can I have one?" Frank asks. "No. Go away." I stick my tongue out at him. He reaches his hand into my back pocket and take out my pack to take my last cigarette. I accept defeat and let him take it. 

~^~^~^~^

We had to wait at the airport until 10 am because our flight go delayed, everyone just sat on the floor sleeping until then. We boarded our plane at 10:30 and I sat next to Gerard, I got window seat! Hell yeah! 

"Doing okay sugar?" Gee kisses my temple and pats my thigh. "Yeah, I'm ready to nap I think." 

Our flight was about 5 hours so when we got to LA is was about 2 pm. (I'm not good with time so I couldn't tell you if the times where right bc I have zero braincells!) 

I took a pretty good nap and was awoken by Gerard shaking me awake. We get off the plane and right when we leave paparazzi is shoving camera's in our faces. We get escorted to a private loading area where we're greeted by a big tour bus. 

We hop on and get taken to our hotel which was about a 30 minute drive from the airport. 

I find me a comfy spot to sit, "So I assume we're all in a better mood now?" The all look at me for a split second with no response, "Guess not!" 

We get to our hotels and get situated into our rooms. Obviously Gerard and I share a king sized bed, we have time to nap so I get undressed to my underwear and bra immediately. "Getting undressed without me?!" Gerard whines getting in bed with me in his boxers. 

~^~^~^~^

I was woken up by movement in the bed and whispering. I still felt Gerard in my arms so I turned on the bedside lamp. Frank and Ray?! They we're standing on the bed and taking pictures with a disposable camera, I pull the covers up trying to hide everything. 

"Smileee!!" Frank yells. "Go the fuck away! You're so fucking annoying!" I throw my pillows at him. "It's time for dinner, get up fuckers!" 

"Then get out so I can change!" I shoo them away into their room and put on my clothes from earlier. 

Right across the street was a small restaurant so we decided to sit and eat there. While waiting for the food I say, "Why were you guys so cranky this morning?" 

"Because none of us fucking slept, we were up all night packing." Frank says taking a sip of his beer. "Whose fault was that huh? Waiting the day-of to pack? Who the fuck does that?" I scold them. "Mind your business.."Frank looks away from me. I'll take that as a win for me.

Noelle's POV: 

After my experience with Juliette in the basement I didn't know what to think. My mind had been all over the place, I tried sleeping most of the time but it was quite hard to get fully comfortable to do so with my wounds. 

I hadn't seen anyone in days. It was lonely, I can't lie. Until today, I heard a bunch of running around the floor above me. What are they doing?

I fell asleep. 

I woke up a few hours earlier to having my cage opened. I shook in my spot waiting to see one of them, I had realized that the people I was kidnapped by were Gerard and his friends. It was no use escaping considering they'd easily be able to find me and hurt me. I wasn't totally stupid. 

I look up to see an unfamiliar face with black hair staring at me. "Who.. are.. you?" I ask my breath shaky. "Andy." He said with a sinister smile. This Andy guy drags me out by my hair and sits me in the chair. 

He was tall and sat right in front of me on the floor. He pulls out a box of cigarettes, was he not going to hurt me? I eased up at his presence, he stares at me while taking a few hits of his cigarette. He takes the cig and ashes it on my skin, burning me and not pulling away for what felt like minutes. I screamed in pain. 

He smoked that entire box and burning my body with each one. My body covered in burns, I cried out to God. 

Why is he not listening?
