Gerard's POV
We spent the whole night driving. It's early in the morning now and Rookie's sleeping. She looks so pretty like that. The way the sun hits her eyelashes is beautiful. Well I'll let her sleep.
I blush thinking about what happened last night. Rookie Iero actually kissed me. Score! I'd never forget it. I kiss her on the cheek and climb out of the car. I start walking to see if anything is out here. I hear footsteps approaching me. I turn quickly and pull out my gun. It's only Rookie walking with her arms crossed, as if she's cold.
"Good morning, cutie." I say and put my gun away.
"Jeez, you scared me!" She says.
"Just making sure it wasn't BLI."
"Better safe then sorry, I guess." She nervously laughs.
"What's wrong?"
"A lot of things, my brother, running away, and well- what if BLI finds us?"
"Don't worry bout it, they don't want you, they want me. Plus I think I can handle 'em."
"I think I can too." She pulls out a gun and flips it in the air before catching it with a proud smile on her face.
"Where'd you get a gun?!"
She puts it in her back pocket "Frank had two, and I decided if I was going to be hangin out with you guys, I'd need one." She shrugs like it was nothing.
Gosh she was even more adorable now. Stay calm Gerard. Control yourself! "How had I never noticed that before?"
She laughs "Don't ask me."
"Come on, let's get to the car."
We walk to the car and Rookie hops in the drivers seat.
(You're going to want to remember this part for the future)
"Um, what are you doing?" I laugh lightly.
"Driving." She replies.
"Are you sure you want to?"
"Gerard," she sighs "Of course I do. You're.... To slow."
"Rookie, I don't want to crash the car-"
"You don't get it..."
"Huh?"
She leans over and kisses me on the cheek "Better catch up Gee."
My face turns red and I'm a bit confused as she starts the car.
We drive around until we come to a diner (A/N: think about the one in the Na Na Na music video)
We park the car and go in.
We look around and I hear something crumple.
I look over to see Rookie trying to silently rip down 'Exterminate' signs of the guys and I.
I love her.
We sit at the counter and a couple of minutes later I hear someone walk up to us. I put a hand on my gun in my pocket, just in case.
"Nice seeing you again." I look up to see a guy working for BLI smiling evilly at me with a gun at Rookie's head.
No, no, no, no, no. "Get away from her." I take the gun out of my pocket.
"Nuh, uh, uhh." He shakes his head "You move, I kill you... and her."
Shoot. Now everyone that's with me is in danger.
Suddenly I hear a gunshot go off. Rookie, no!
To my surprise, Rookie stands up, gun in hand, pointing it at the man who now has a bullet hole in his leg "You didn't say anything about me moving."
He reaches for his gun and she kicks it towards her and picks it up, now pointing two guns at the man "Nuh, uh, uhh." She shakes her head mockingly "You move, I kill you." She smirks before shooting him again and dragging me outside.
Great. I love her even more. Nice. "Wh- what? How?"
She blushes and flips both guns "Ah, nothing to it."
"Wow. I should probably get you back to the house, huh?"
"Are you kidding me? No way! You said we're running away, and I expect you to stick to your word."
"Ok then, but, if I'm going to bring you with me, we're gonna need to change your look, y'know to disguise you from BLI."
~~~~~~
We come across an abandoned/beat up hair salon "This should do the trick."
We walk inside and I wipe off a dusty chair for her to sit in and grab a pair of scissors. I looked at her long, beautiful brown hair.
"I'm going to hate doing this." I sigh.
"What?" She asks.
"Don't move." I do my best to snip away her hair till it's just above her shoulders.
Nope, still looks like her.
I spot a bottle of blue hair dye in the corner. I pick it up and notice that it's slightly empty, but it'll work. "How do you feel about the color blue?"
"Favorite color. Why?"
I dye her hair and take a step back. The blue brings out her eyes, and she looks as beautiful as ever.
"Shoot." I snap out of my thoughts.
"What is it?"
"They know what you're wearing. Once they see you, they never forget."
"Gerard I killed him."
"No offense Rook', but he wasn't dead, trust me. Plus there's never only one of them somewhere at once."
"Ok well, I mean I guess I could just swap out my skirt for my jeans?"
"Huh?"
She points to the ripped jeans she's wearing under her blood red skirt.
"That'll do."
She admires her new look. Her once long brunette hair is now bright blue and cut to her shoulders, her bangs and single small braid making her look adorable, and with her leather jacket and ripped blue jeans she definitely looks like a Killjoy.
"What about you?" She asks "Don't you gotta change your hair?"
I really like my hair. But for Rookie's safety, I guess I'll change it. I cut it a bit shorter and dye it a brighter red.
I look outside to see the sun starting to set "Let's hit the road!"
