Her & I

3

We decided to get stuff from my hotel room and her friends house such as clothes, money, and other essentials, in other words we went back to New Mexico. "Let's move to Sana Monica, we have nowhere else to go." Rey said after getting her clothes and stuff from her friends house, I replied "Okay, why not. Do you have black nail polish?" I asked wiggling my fingers, she laughed and nodded her head yes "I was joking." she looked at me "Too bad I'm gunna paint them tonight." I smiled and she turned on Green Day. We finally got to the hotel I was staying in and I got my stuff, but left all the meds, extensive amount of alcohol, and knives. When I walked in I felt all the emotions I was feeling when I was going to kill my self only a matter of days ago. I got in and out quickly. I got out to the car and kissed Rey feeling better and not suicidal. I laid down holding her hand and fell asleep, but without the tortuous nightmares and feeling like there was no hope. It was cold when I woke up so I put on my hoodie, closed the hood around my face, and went back to sleep. I woke up to Rey shaking me because she was tired. We were halfway through Arizona so I was going to get us to California, but first I stopped at the gas station and bought a ton of Arizona Tea and food. "I don't have your phone number, you need to give it to me." she said when I got in the car, she looked over and her eyes lit up when she saw the Arizona tea in my hand "You better have gotten me one." I pointed to behind my seat "I got a few cans." she smiled and reached for one. "So what's your number?" she asked again, I responded "555-400-0713, but don't tell any fans." she looked at me "If I told younger me that I was going to be with Gerard Way, the guy who basically saved my life, for more than an hour & even kiss him I would've laughed and dug the razor blade deeper in my skin." my jaw dropped "That's horrible! But how exactly did I save your life?" she looked at me then the thousands of stars above us "Your music, your art, how you weren't afraid to show how screwed up you are. My Chem saved me, Sleeping With Sirens & Panic! kept me going, FOB NSN polished me off." she pulled a fuzzy Nightmare Before Christmas blanket around her and laid down. I was speechless, I never been told how I saved someone I love. She mumbled " I'm gunna go and change." I nodded "I think I'll do the same." I said pulling away and going to a parking space. "You first ma lady." she grabbed a bag and one of my hoodies "Am I now your hoodie provider?" I asked and she nodded her head. She came out ten minutes later in a tank top, shorts, glasses, my jacket tied around her waist, and her hair in a messy bun, but most shocking to me she had snakebites & tattoos. "Just the thought of needles makes me cringe!" she rolled her eyes, I grabbed sweats from my bag "I gotta get out of these jeans, I promise I'll be quick." When I came back out and Lying Is The Most Fun... was playing as loud as possible, I ran over and jumped in the car and kissed her cheek "I'm glad my music & art saved your life because you saved mine, the day we met I was plotting how to kill myself but here we are now." I pulled her glasses off her face "Your blind, but do I look good?" she laughed "Yes, now give 'em back and let's go." I drove down the highway while Rey slept curled up on the seat hugging a Star Wars pillow.
