Child • Jøshler

chapter twenty twø

"Where the hell did they go?" Brendon groaned after almost a full hour of Tyler's and Patrick's absence.

"It's not only them" Pete added, shaking his head as he pointed at the spot Andy was sitting on until now.

Brendon continued to groan repeatedly, stomping around Patrick's bedroom and actually hoping to knock something over now.

"Hey, careful" Pete warned, quick enough to catch an action figure of Patrick's. He narrowed his eyes at Brendon in a way to tell him 'You know what happened last time', to which Brendon immediately pouted and looked down. Josh tsked and went over to Brendon, just because he needed a person to hold him.

Brendon smirked, hoping every other teenager with problems is dying of jealousy because he has himself a Josh and they don't.

Pete adjusted the fake vampire teeth onto his teeth. He touched the very top of one fang with his finger, sighing. It wasn't nearly as sharp as the fang he used to have. Sometimes, he'd really miss being a vampire. Then again, he was overly happy he wasn't considered a 'child' anymore, they w-

He stopped himself from those retrospective thoughts, exhaling through his mouth. He really loved his current life, the last thing he needs is for memories to become present time.

He took his large cape as the last thing to fulfill his outfit, happy with the looks of the vintage shirt and oddly comfortable trousers.

"If I were you" Dallon came up begind Pete, making him turn quickly "I would regret my fashion choices so damn much"

Pete smiled ever so widely "I do! I regret, believe me!"

Then, Pete's smile dropped and his eyes widened. Everybody looked in his direction, scared.

"Guys, we forgot to dye my hair!" Pete whined, pulling the end of his cape up to his face and burying his face into the incredibly soft fabric. He faked sobs as everybody let out annoyed 'ugh's.

"You're crazy" Josh commented "Who the hell dyes their hair only for Halloween's sake?"

"This motherfluffer" Pete dropped down the cape to once again hang from his back and pointed both index fingers at his own face.

Brendon waved his hand "Let's just dye his hair and make him that 2005 emo hairstyle and let's gooooo"

...

Brendon, Josh, Pete and Dallon arrived to the overcrowded school party their school held for Halloween. Their peers only cringed at them, to which Brendon rolled his eyes every time.

"I should've gone naked" Brendon said, crossing his arms on his chest.

"Here we go again" Josh sighed in an annoyed fashion, while Dallon's eyes lit up at Brendon's words.

Brendon readjusted the dirty robe that was tied around his hips to protect private parts; actually this close to tearing it off himself and showing the world the demon cock they deserve to see and have nightmares about.

"Hi, pussies"

The unusually small group of theirs all turned around in a sudden at the sound of Andy's voice. Josh shook his head and laughed at the sight, Brendon smirked overly suggestively, Pete only laughed and applauded and Dallon shook his head in a disappointed way; which oddly fit his outfit. Pretty Dallon.

Andy winked, turning around himself to show off his French maid costume. It was short, it was tight, it was girly, it was sexy. And it looked amazing.

"You're nuts" Pete said, putting his hand out for Andy to hold it and they started to dance around together, getting lost in the crowd along with Pete's laughs.

"We're so gay" Josh shook his head, sighing and facepalming when Brendon made finger guns at him.

"I really thought they'd bring a live band" Dallon commented, pointing over at the large speakers which played mainstream songs at high volume.

Brendon placed his palms beside his mouth, looking up and shouting out "Play My Chemical Romance!"

"Don't be too hopeful" Josh said, walking over to the table filled with sweets, followed by both Brendon and Dallon "They wouldn't play quality music if you paid them to"

Pete and Andy returned, laughing like the idiots they are and stuffing their mouths with chocolate already. They two danced still, but the others seemed highly not-entertained.

Suddenly the music stopped.

Everybody started to whisper, making a huge forest of murmurs.

"What the hell?"

"What's going on?"

"Hey, play the music!"

"Who turned it off?"

"What's happening?"

Bass.

"She says she's no good with words, but I'm worse"

The five boys turned to where the entire crowd turned. There was actually a small stage set up in the middle of the school gym where the party was held. And behind the mic stand, a familiar face; the makeup didn't make him unrecognizable.

"Patty!" Pete's face lit up and he pushed through the crowd to get to the front.

"Wow, that's hella impressive" Brendon said, taking a random chocolate candy off the table and walking over to the crowd that was getting bigger every second. The crowd was jumping and enjoying the band.

Andy pointed at a white sheet hanging above the band; the words 'Fell Out Kids' sprayed all over it in various colors.

Josh smiled at Patrick who winked at him. Patrick was wearing a ruined suit, going as a zombie. Tyler was hidden behind his red gas mask, focused on his bass. Joe had a mummy outfit, and even though it wasn't perfect, it looked great. Andy went as a Frankenstein monster, perhaps using too much green makeup.

But all in all, they looked like a gang of freaks - they looked goddamn amazing.

Nobody could stop themselves from dancing, the song was just so good.

"Dance, dance, and these are the lives you love to lead"
