This chapter of Concert Gigs and Guitar Picks is dedicated to both the earthquake victims in Japan, even though it was a while ago, and to My Chemical Romance, who announced the fact that they're breaking up yesterday. I owe my life to those guys. I will be doing a tribute fanfiction to them as soon as this one is finished. Look out for it, I'm thinking about calling it Disenchanted. It'll most likely be a Gerard Way love story because when I was 11 I thought I was madly in love with him, and stalked him, so I would actually have an idea about what I'm talking about. G'night Killjoys, Dr. D has to go~

"We're going to Japan!"

"I know!" 

"This is gonna be awesome!"

"Konnichiwa!" tons of laughing. 

"Doitashimaste!" More laugh. We're too excited!

"Hey, where's Sixx?" I ask, after the laughing finally dies. 

"She's asleep, I think. We'll be at the airport soon. Somebody should wake her up," 

"Is it just me, or does she seem... different?" Jinxx asks. 

"She's acting more and more like everyday is her last with us," CC notes. 

"Yeah," I agree quietly. A month into the tour, and we're going to Japan. We're in England now. Sixx has been on edge since we got here. We've continually assured her that she's safe, but she's still really worried. 

"Hey," Sixx calls into the living area. "I'm taking a shower. Anyone need the bathroom?" she asks. Nobody does. "Okay," she says, and goes about. CC gets up. 

"Where ya goin?" Jake asks. 

"To get my phone," CC says in a clipped tone. 

"That was... abrupt," Andy remarks. 

"Something is wrong," I say stupidly. 

"Is it his girlfriend?" Jake asks. 

"Maybe," Jinxx replies. We all fade into a comfortable silence. I put my earbuds in. 

Welcome To The Jungle. 

Sixx

All of the days in intense heat in the tropics has bleached my hair a dirty blond. Really intense sun. My hair is blond, and short. I cut it up to my jaw. The guys flipped shit over, and I quote, "how amazingly epically ninja" it is. Yep. They love it, and so do I. So, I finally finish voluminizing it, and go out into the bunks to find  very sad looking CC. 

"CC? Are you okay?" I ask quietly, sitting next to him on his bunk. 

The boy can barely force his lips to move when he says "yes," 

"Obviously, you're not, so talk. Is it your girlfriend?" 

"Yeah," he sighs, looking up at me. There are tears in his eyes. 

"Did she leave?" he nods. 

"I love her, Sixx," 

"I know," I say, opening my arms to receive him in a hug. He leans into my embrace. "Hey, chin up," I say to him, remebering the vision of that girl vividly. "You'll have someone a lot better soon," 

"There's no one better," he mumbles. 

"I promise, there is," 

"There's no one like her," that triggers a vision. I see the girl with the ice blue and white hair again. She's marching across a stage, graduating from high school. The vision switches to the crowd. There they are, the guys. Each has his girlfriend, except CC, who's girlfriend is on the stage, and I notice Ashley has a dark haired beauty on his arm. Damn, I really will never see them again.
