Dedicated to Marilyn Manson

by xadelinx

*Marilyn's P.O.V*

She's different alright. I could see it in her eyes, the way she looked at me. Her face showed love, but her eyes showed hate, or was that regret? Ever since I formed Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, she's acted distant, almost bored. My band finally scored a 2 year record deal and she doesn't even congratulate me.

Here we are, sitting in my room, lit by candles. My parents are gone for the weekend, and all she does is smile at me shyly and starts to text someone. Wow. So much for trying to set the mood. I breath in and ask, "So, who are you texting?" She looked up almost annoyed and rolled her eyes. "A good friend." How detailed. I started to tap my fingers on the wall, letting my mind drift to my band.

Who was Marilyn Manson? He was still evolving. What image did I want to show through him? Will the band make it? What about our first album? I want to focus on society. A portrait. A Portrait of... April's sweet melodic voice pulled me from my thoughts. "He's a guy." "Who?" "My good friend." I could see where this was going.

"What wrong with you Brian?" "Marilyn," I corrected her. "What ever! That's a girl's name for crying out loud!" She stood up. "Please don't go." I stood up, my platform shoes made me stumble. I haven't gotten used to the bastards. I fell into her a pinned her to the wall.

"I-I love you." I leaned in to kiss her. I couldn't loose her. A sharp pain in my cheek made my eyes fly open. She'd slapped me. "You freak. I hate you!" No. There was so many things wrong with those two sentences. She stormed to the door, but stopped at the thresh-hold. She sighed and turned to face me. "Brian, I shouldn't have said that. It's just you've been so odd lately. Different, and not in a good way. I don't know if I still like you. I just don't know anything right now." She turned and left, closing the door behind her.

Me, different? Look who's talking. She doesn't like me back? God! Why is she like this? She acts like a total bitch and then goes all soft. Maybe that's all she is.
