Jadis

I was surrounded by darkness; suddenly disturbed by someone thrashing around next to me. I opened my eyes, to see what was happening. Dad was lying beside me, tossing around in the large bed. He mumbled my name, then yelled it. Tears ran down his cheeks.

"Dad? Dad! Are you okay? Wakeup!" I called.

"What? Oh my god, Jadis! You're alive!" Gerard cried, as he held me tightly to his chest.

"Of course I'm alive! Is that what your nightmare was?"

"Nightmare? It was just a nightmare? Oh thank god!" He sounded relieved. Slowly, he released me.

"What happened? You seem quite distraught over it. You were thrashing around, calling my name, and I think you were sobbing." I could hear the worried tone in my voice, but I made sure my face gave no evidence of my anxiousness.

"It's just sleeping in a strange bed, gives me nightmares." He mumbled, stumbling out of the bed. He shuffled over to the small kitchen space, and disappeared from my view. I could hear the muffled voices of Mikey and Gerard talking, but couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Instead I lay back down, and boiled over the issues at hand.

Press, fame, rejection, scandal, Hailey. ARGH! I thought I don't wanna think about this!

I slid out of the bed, walked over to the corner and knelt down, in front of my bag. I pulled out my laptop and USB, then strode back over to the bed. As my computer booted up, Gerard walked out, grabbed his own bag, and then, once again, disappeared, into the bathroom. I plugged my USB in, and started working. I opened up a story I had started writing, but then thought I wasn't really in the mood. So instead, I picked up a wireless internet signal, and started surfing YouTube. I downloaded a few clips; opened Windows Movie Maker, then busied myself with my creation. I quickly sent mum an e-mail after a few minutes, then continued with my job. After about fifteen minutes, Gerard loomed up in front of me. About five minutes earlier, Mikey had left to see the others.

"Watcha doin'?" He asked distractedly, as he sat down beside me. I guessed that his mind was racing at a million miles an hour. He had plenty to plan for, and plenty to worry about, unfortunately.

"Nothing much. I hacked someone's internet, and went on YouTube. Downloaded a few clips, and am now putting the finishing touches on my masterpiece! Do you wanna see it?" I told him excitedly.

"Sure. What is it?"

"Random My Chemical Romance clips, what else?"

"What else, indeed." He muttered, and then focused on the screen. It was a bunch of clips put together, to make a video clip for their song, Mama. When it ended, he turned and stared at me in disbelief.

"What? Is it that random?"

"That's way cool! How did you do that?" He asked, flabbergasted.

"I'm a nerd." I said proudly.

"I wanna see!" Mikey's voice said. I looked up from my laptop, to see him walking over to the bed, where Gerard and I sat. I played it for him, and at the end, he had the same expression as Gee.

"Will you two stop looking at me like that? It's creepy!" I told them putting my hands up, as if to protect myself from their stares.

"I wanna be able to do that!" Mikey said, like a little kid. I laughed.

"It's really simple."

"Hello, I'm an oldie here!" Gerard chimed in.

"Show them later, we've got a plane to catch." Ray said, slamming the door behind him as he walked in.
