Black Dahlia

Hear Me Now. Ch.3

y,n chapter.

      I slipped off my wet shirt and kicked my shoes off to get off my pants. pants. I sat my suitcase on my bed and opened it. I felt my heart bang with guilt as I looked at Max's bible. Sighing I sat it beside my suitcase on the bed, quickly I pulled on dry white button down and dry black jeans. I sat down on the edge of the bed to put my shoes back on. I tied them quickly and jumped up walking over to the door. Heading down the hall to the stairs I felt out of place as my eyes ran over pictures of all the guys smiling and having a good time.

(Quick Note, your character only owns white long sleeve dress shirts and black jeans. along with a few pairs of sweat pants.)

   Walking down the stairs I could hear them talking. "He seems nice." Jorel said on one of the couches in the entertainment room. "I have to get him to a new psychiatrist so we can get his meds." Johnny said from somewhere further in the room. "What kind of medicine?" Dylan asked looking somewhere into the room. I shifted awkwardly on the stairs feeling bad for eavesdropping. "Anti depressants, anxiety and something for his night terrors I believe." Johnny said walking into view. I took a deep breath before walking into the room.

    "Heya kiddo." Johnny said with a smile. I waved awkwardly before sitting down beside Jorel. "Do you only own dress clothes?" Jordan said looking up from his game, Danny glanced away from the game as well to look. I nodded slowly, "yes.." I said softly looking at my hands in my lap. The room stayed silent a moment before Dylan broke the silence "You'll get lots of new clothes." He smiled over at me I looked into his eyes. He felt like a brother. 'Like Max.' I thought before smiling over at him.

   I ran one of my hands through my still wet hair. "Teeth to kill for." Matt said from across the room. I chuckled, looking down at my shoes as a light blush dusted my cheeks. "So 20 questions?" Johnny asked handing me a mug of something. I sniffed it, my nose wrinkled up as the sent of hot chocolate hit me. I forced a smile on my lips as I took a drink. I gagged before choking it down. Everyone looked at me weirdly, I sat the mug on the table.

   "Um ask away I guess?" I said shifting awkwardly in my seat. "What's up with the whole coco thing?" Dylan asked, I looked over at him a smile twitching at my lips, "Repressed hate for chocolate." I murmured. "Okay, noted." Johnny said. "You can ask any of us whatever you want now." Danny said sitting cross legged. "Um... I've heard some of your songs but what's your stage names?" I asked looking down at my lap. Johnny laughed. "Johnny 3 tears" "Danny." Danny said chuckling. "Funny-Man" Dylan said in a deep voice I looked at him wide eyed.

   "Da Kurlzz" Matt said taking his beanie off shaking his hair around.

"J-Dog" Jorel said with a smile. "Charlie Scene!" Jordan yelled reaching for his belt. "DON'T SCAR THE KID FOR LIFE YET!" Danny yelled hitting the back of his head. "But.. but.. " Jordan laughed rubbing the back of his head. I smiled looking at their goofiness

  

     "Did you know your parents?" Jorel asked my smile went to a hard line as I glared at the floor, instantly all the repressed hate filled my body. I laughed coldly as I remember what happened to them in the end. "Yea, I knew the sick fuckers." I spat. Looking up at a shocked room. I froze hand flew to my mouth. I sat wide eyed afraid I did something wrong. "Damn kid.." Matt murmured. "I'm sorry.." Jorel said softly. "I'm.. Sorry. It's just.. never mind.." I spoke quietly.

    "Do you like Chinese?" I asked Danny looking at his face. His eyes looked concerned and sorrowful. "Yes." He said a smile on his lips but not his eyes I sighed knowing I ruined bonding time. Jordan cleared his throat. "I bet you're a lady killer, How many girlfriends have you had?" a smirk on his lips. I swallowed anxiety filled me. 'What..What if their homophobic.. Oh God.. I'll just answer simply..' "Honestly?" I asked with a chuckled pretending to count in my head while Jordan nodded. "Well there was this one.. and these three.. none." I murmured.

   "No way." Dylan said sitting behind Jordan. "True, none." I smiled softly. "We need to get this Kid a girlfriend." Jordan muttered. Everyone laughed. "Okay, I got one for everyone, are Homophobic?" I asked my heart rate sped up. "Nope." they murmured in sync. I felt a weight lift from my chest. "Wait.. Does this mean you're Gay?" Jordan asked sitting perfectly up right staring into my soul, "I'm.. pansexual.." I murmured awkwardly.

   "That's awesome!" Matt said getting up and sitting down in front of Johnny. "Really, on my feet?" Johnny asked Matt as he relaxed on Johnny. I chuckled at their banter. "Johnny you said I was perfect for the job.. what's that mean?" I asked looking over at him and Matt. "Oh, you're gonna be doing like merch modeling for us when we go on tour." I grinned secretly excited. "I have another question" Jordan "Ask away sweetie." I said in a high pitched southern female voice. The guys chuckled. "Boyfriends?" I face palmed, Jorel reached over an patted me on the back.

    "A few, I've also had gender fluid partners and gender queer partners." I murmured shifting in my seat to cross my legs. "all these things..." Jordan muttered rubbing his temples. "Are all over Jordan's questions going to be about my personal life?" I asked Dylan. They chuckled nodding. I sighed looking up at the ceiling. "Oh great and powerful Jehovah give thee your strength." I murmured looking at everyone.

"Are you a virgin?" Jordan asked looking at me creepily. "Dad..." I asked looking over at Johnny. Laughter filled the room before Johnny shrugged. "I.. I plead the fifth.." I murmured as I covered my face ashamed  "Awwww he's still pure." Danny murmured smirking. I shook my head but not wanting them to know the story. "Y,N can I talk to you real quick in private?" Johnny murmured in my ear. I felt my heart rate speed up. Fear..

   I nodded getting up following Johnny. He led me upstairs to my room. "If you don't want to answer you don't have to but.. are you a virgin?" He asked looking into my eyes, reading my soul. "no.." I whispered shame filled my voice. "It's okay if you're not. You are a teenager y,n." Johnny said placing his hand on my shoulder. I shook my head, "It.. it uh happened when I was a little kid before the murder.." I shuddered as the nights flashed in my head.

   "What?" Johnny asked he sat down on the edge of my bed. I sighed knowing I said to much and knowing now I had to explain. "When I lived with my parents everything was okay until one day my mum got into a car accident with a drunk driver. after that my dad would drink.. and some nights he would..." My voice broke out as shame and anger mixed in my voice. "But one night I was in bed when dad came home from the bar. I hid under my bed as I realized a man had followed dad in.. He shot dad in the face 5 times before finding me." I murmured as I felt happiness air inside me.

   "The man left me at the orphanage. No one in my family stepped up to claim me all the years so I stayed there till you came along. I'm not even from California, I'm from Michigan." I finished, taking a deep breath. "You've had a hell of a life kid. Sorry for making you talk about it." Johnny said with a sad smile. I walked over to him and hugged him tightly. "It's not your fault some people are cancer of the world." I murmured as his arms held me tightly. "I'm still sorry you had to go through that.. Son."
