The World is Ugly (MCR Fanfiction)

6. Fuck The Rules

"Since Cyanide here was not honest about no one knowing and her going into the city alone...She will be stripped of her killjoy status until further notice."

My stomach dropped. I didn't think he would go this far. I thought maybe Dr. D would force me to join a group or even make me volunteer at The Canteen, but not this! Being stripped of your killjoy status was basically, being forced to quit fighting dracs and in extreme cases...getting sent back in to Battery City.

"No! I just got her back and I'm not gonna lose her again!" Ghoul shouts standing up.

His face was curled up into a sad expression. His Hazel eyes that were always filled with happiness, were now filled with anger and despair. I want to run over to him and give him the biggest hug I could but I can't.

"Im sorry Fun Ghoul. You know the rules, she needs to be punished." Dr.D said trying to be empathetic but it really just looked like he was a douche.

"Fuck the rules!" Ghoul said throwing a folding chair at the wall. It hit the wall with a thump and broke off a leg.

I knew exactly how Dr.D wanted me to react. He wants me to beg and maybe even cry. He thinks he is all mighty and powerful. He wants people to worship the ground he walks on, but I sure as hell will not. I'm too stubborn I guess. As much as I want to cry and beg, I wasn't going to.

"Ok. I did break the rules. I accept my punishment." I said looking straight into Dr. D's eyes.

It took all my willpower not to start crying and run over to Ghoul just like when I was little and I had a nightmare. He would always calm me down when I cried. He would play his guitar and sing me to sleep. I miss those days.

Everyone in the room looked shocked. Including Dr.D. His face dropped. Has no one accepted their punishments before?

"What?" Ghoul said walking towards me. I was just hoping he wasn't gonna throw another chair.

I took a deep gulp of air and wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans. My hands were shaking and my heart was pounding. I didn't want to lose Ghoul. Not after I had just made up with him. But I did break the rules and it was only fair.

"I broke the rules...I need to be punished."

Dr. D rolled his wheelchair over to me and Ghoul. Party and Neon were sitting together in the corner holding each-others hands and continuing to whisper. Adrenaline was sitting right by them, a single tear dripped down her face. Dr. D glanced from Ghoul to me with a empathetic look.

"Well...I think we can make an acceptation, just this once." Dr. D said.

A metaphorical wave of relief almost knocked me to the floor. Can I stay?

"What?" Ghoul said, his eyes started to light up with hope.

"She admitted to her mistakes, and she seems truly sorry. Maybe she can just volunteer a couple times with Adrenaline at The Canteen." Dr. D replied.

Wait?! What?! I can stay!! WOOOOO!!

"Really?!" I said excitedly.

"Yes. You and Adrenaline can volunteer here a couple times." Dr.D said.

Ghoul came over and wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him as tightly as I could. I could stay with him. I wasn't gonna be forced to leave and never see him or Party again.

"Well since you guys couldn't come yesterday..." Dr. D began and Ghoul broke the hug to look at Kobra and Star. They were standing in the corner of the room together whispering about something the whole time.

"I told people that you guys would be here tonight to perform,so are you up for it?"

Ghoul and Party looked each other grinning slightly before Party spoke.

"Of course! I don't think Cyanide has seen us play our new songs."Party looked at me and smiled. A genuine smile. Something that is rare for Party. He usually tried to hide all his emotions. Even if he was happy.

He was wrong. I have seen them play. Last time I was at The Canteen, they played a couple songs and one was about the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W unit of dracs. I usually come here listen to them perform with Cyanide hiding somewhere where they couldn't see us together. Then of course when Cyanide and them left I would get so drunk I could barely walk a straight line. Good times.

Adrenaline gave me a look. It basically was are you gonna tell them or I? Her eyes were puffy and red, from crying. She must have been silently crying that whole time, and she finally stopped.

"Well... I've seen you guys perform here before." I said looking down.

"What?"Ghoul said as a wave of confusion washed over him.

"Sometimes Cyanide and I would come here and watch you guys together. You know...On a date." Adrenaline said with such confidence that it surprised me, but in a good way.

"Wait?! You two are dating?!" Party shouts standing up.

Shit. I forgot he was drunk and probably didn't remember too much of last night.

"Yup." I said.

Adrenaline walked over to me and stood right beside me and grabbed my hand. I squeezed it back.

Party looked really confused, while happy, and shocked all at once. Thats the best way I can describe it. Did he accept us? Or are we gonna have to date in secret and just lie? Ugh my brain hurts. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through my arm. I gasped at the sudden pain and grabbed my arm, letting go of Adrenaline's hand. It felt as if someone had stuck a hot poker into it, and was twirling it around.

"What is it?" Ghoul said coming over to me.

Everyone looked really worried. I don't want them to worry, I don't deserve it.

"Nothing, It just hurt for a second." I said trying to smile through the pain.

Man my arm was hurting again. I know it wasn't gonna heal overnight but why was it hurting so much?

"It doesn't seem like nothing..." Ghoul said.

"Its fine, Just hurts a little. Nothing a little painkiller couldn't fix." I said.

Ghoul looked toward Dr.D who nodded and wheeled himself over to a cabinet in the other corner of the room. It wasn't a very big room. It had a cabinet in one corner and Kobra and Star in the other. Dr. D opened the cabinet and started digging through it. After a minute of searching he found a small pill bottle. He brought it over to me.

"You can have this...it should help with he pain."

"I'll take it when we eat lunch." I said trying to disguise the pain in my voice.

"Ok well let's go eat! Then we have to perform!" Star said running out of the room.

Yay food.
