Toxic Dreams (A MCR/Killjoy Fic)

Chapter 9

"Thanks boys. It looks nice." I said. I looked out the window at the freshly painted car outside. It was painted red and purple with my symbols on it. A lighting bolt on the hood and a big red X on the trunk.

"No problem. And I'm sorry about....." Ghoul couldn't finish the rest. I think he was just scared of talking about you know who around me.

"It's fine it's fine." I said.

"It's not fine." Said Party. I looked at him, straight in his eyes. I could see that he knew I wasn't OK. And, I'm really not OK, I promise.

"Don't you think I know that! Im in so much pain and the guilt is eating me alive because, I knew I couldn't protect her like I wanted. And now she's gone and I couldn't save her. And hell, I had only knew her for a week and she stuck to me. She reminded me of my brother so much, and she made me feel like I was closer to home than I've ever been since the fires. And I couldn't save that." I said. The whole room had gone dead silent.

"I'm sorry I brought it up.." Said Ghoul.

"Hey it's OK," I felt a tear fall from my eye. "It's not your fault. Its no one's fault exept for the ones who killed her." I said.

More silence followed. I wiped my eyes and smiled.

"Well, I think I'm gonna finish this pack of cigarettes. It's about time I'd have one. I'll be back soon." I said. I stood up and walked out without another word.

Party Poison's POV

"Oh nice going Ghoul! Now you made her feel bad!" Complained Jet.

"I didn't mean to! I didn't know she was gonna respond like that!" Retorted Ghoul.

"What do you mean you didn't know? I'm sure you would have felt the same way!" Yelled Jet. Kobra, who was sitting on a stool at the counter, got up and smacked the fighting Killjoys in the back of the head.

"Would you both shut the fuck up?!" Screamed Kobra, irritation visible in his tone.

"No!" Yelled  Ghoul and Jet simultaneously. That lead to all three to start screaming at each other. I got up and walked out to find Jinx. They would just make up later anyways like they always do. I looked around, trying to find her until I saw a stray piece of ash fall onto the ground. It came from above me, so I looked up and find a pair of black combat boots hanging off the roof.

"Hey Jinx!" I called up to her. She looked down and me and gave me a small wave.

"Mind if I join you?" I asked, hoping she would say yes.

"Sure. Why not?" She said. I found the ladder to climb up to the roof and crawled over to her. I let my feet dangle of the edge along with hers.

"I'm sorry about Ghoul, he can be a idiot at times." I said.

"He's fine. He was just curious is all." She said.

"Kobra was trying to get him and Jet to stop fighting, but I don't think it's working.." I said. She chuckled and tapped her cigarette once again.

"They'll make up." She said. I nodded and we fell into silence until I finally decided to speak.

"So, Jinx, where does the name Toxic Jinx come from?" I asked.

"Well, Toxic because, well, toxic things are dangerous and should not be touched or else it may harm you. And Jinx because a Jinx means you get bad luck, so it means that you get bad luck when your around me." She explained.

"So, does that mean your gonna give me bad luck?" I asked cockily. She smirked.

"Not unless you want me to." She replied.

"Maybe some bad luck wouldn't be a bad thing.." I smirked.

"Are you coming onto me?" She asked.

"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." I said. Smooth Party, real smooth.

"Don't become Ghoul. I can't have two, I can only handle one." She laughed. I laughed with her. More silence followed. She finished her cigarette and I noticed the sun was going down and night was approaching.

"Well, maybe we should go inside. It's getting dark. And you know what they say, move your body when the sunlight dies." I said.

"Whatever.." She smiled. Her smile caused me to smile back at her.

But how could I not?

Sorry for the short chapter today. I'll probably update again today if I have nothing to do.

Remember

Keep Your Boots Tight
Keep Your Gun Close
And Die With Your Mask On If You've Got To
