The Noose (A Perfect Circle/Marilyn Manson Fanfic)

Making Friends

They pulled up a few blocks later at a dark cultured looking club called 'The Cell'

"That's friendly" I laughed.

James pulled me in the dark corridor and I looked around at the dark rustic designs and I noticed some of the paintings on the walls.

"Omg. these are Marilyn Manson's paintings guys. Look!" I walked over and gawked at it.

"Even better. Look who's here? Jeordie!!" James called out and I whipped my head around.

I froze. No fucking way. Sitting in the biggest corner of the room, surrounded by guards was Marilyn Manson and Twiggy.

James casually began walking towards them and I stammered. Billy placed a hand on my shoulder. "you ok?" he questioned.

"uh yeah" he held out his hand but I shrugged it off and walked behind James.

"hey guys!"

"James Iha!" Twiggy bounced out of his seat and ran into James. a gust of air hit me in the face. awesome.

"Hey!" Manson waved while continuing to sit.

oh man. "This is Maynard's girlfriend, Cara." James gestured towards me and before I knew it I was being hugged.

"welcome welcome lucky lady. I wish I was dating Maynard. he's got some nice fake hair" jeordie laughed.

"Twiggy. I'm jealous" I heard Manson joke.

Twiggy finally let go of me and my face was stuck in a smile.

"Come. drink a beer with me. drink and be merry" Manson waved me over.

"I'm more of a tequila person myself" I smiled.

"ohhhh! waiter. fetch this woman the good shit" he hollered.

"it's ok. I'll go get us a round" I proposed and then turned towards the bar.

Twiggy took his place next to Manson and Billy and James sat across from them in chairs.

"She's a little young and chunky for our friend Maynard. don't ya think twigs?" Manson stated outright.

"well she must be doing something right if Maynard decided to start seeing her. especially a fan." Twiggy looked towards the counter where I stood.

"probably amazing in bed. I've heard them" James laughed. Billy hit him in the gut.

"interesting" Manson stroked his chin.

"She has an infectious personality" Billy requited.

Twiggy grinned. " I can see that"

everyone hushed as she made her way back to the table. "here you go guys! drinks on me!" I smiled and Twiggy pulled me down to sit between him and Manson. I blushed.

"come on everybody! shots!" I yelled and placed shot glasses in front of everyone. I pulled out the bottle of tequila I got and poured.

"this girl didn't get a drink! she got the entire bottle" Manson placed his arm around me. "Twiggy. we must make her our new best friend"

"already there!" Twiggy winked at me and I handed everyone their shots.

"how'd you get this?" James asked.

"I have tits" I stated plainly.

Manson and Twiggy laughed hysterically. we all downed our shots and I poured some more. we stayed at 'The Cell' til almost 5 am.

"we better go guys" James finally spoke.

"yeah. this girl still needs to unpack." I said.

Twiggy grinned and kissed my cheek. I turned beet red.

"we'll be in touch." Manson handed me a card with his number on it. "we're friends now. so don't leave us hanging"

"I won't. promise." I smiled at him and leaned into him to give him a hug. he seemed surprised then pulled me in tighter, letting his hands linger on me for a bit.

Billy pulled me up over Twiggy and we were in our way home. I looked back at my new friends.

wow. so this is my new life?
