White Rose

Chapter 7

"You're what?" Taylor asked as I tied my shoes.

"I'm hanging out with Louis today."

"Harry, I don't think you should be hanging with such a creature."

"He's sweet." I spoke with a shrug.

"He's a snake. He'll bite you when he gets the chance. He's just playing you."

"Taylor, I'm a big boy. I'll be fine."

"I don't think you will be."

"Taylor." I spoke annoyed. "I can handle him. We've talked. I'm just trying to keep him at an arms length."

"Alright." she nodded. "Well I hope everything goes well."

"It will."

She nodded and kissed me.

I smiled at her as we disconnected our lips.

"Alright, well, I'll see you later Tay."

"See you later Har."

I then walked out of my room that she decided to stay a little longer in.

I made my way up to Louis' room.

When I knocked, he opened the door.

"Harry." he half smiled, come on in.

So, I did.

"Where's Zayn?"

"At some girls house."

"Oh, okay." I nodded not wanting to hear the details. "So, what are we doing today?"

"I'm introducing you to the man himself."

"No."

"Yes." he nodded. "We are watching Marilyn's music videos."

"Oh lord bless my soul."

Louis smiled and got his laptop and walked into his room. So, I followed him and sat on his bed with him.

"We will start with the Sweet Dreams song."

"Okay." I nodded.

When he hit play I wanted to grab a bible.

"What is this!" I yelled.

"Art." he answered.

"You can't be serious Louis?"

"This was back in the 90's. Everything was scary. Marilyn's chilled out a little now, not much, but some."

"This is horrifying." I said pointing to the motion picture.

"I know." he nodded. "I still get creeped out. But, it's great."

"Sure."

"Okay fine. I'll show you something more chilled out. Maybe I'll show you the newest song he's released?"

"Okay." I nodded.

"He's almost 50 btw."

I nodded.

He played a song called KILL4ME.

When the music started it was actually kind of good. Even when he started singing, it wasn't bad. The words were scary, yes, but the tone and the vibe were nice.

"See?" Louis asked. "He's a cool artist. He changes his style and sound like Madonna."

"Oh, I like her."

"Of course you do."

"Okay, something next?"

"I'll play my favorite song, The Dope Show."

"Of course that'd be your favorite song."

"Just listen to the words."

So, I did.

"There's a lot of pretty, pretty ones who want to get you high. But, all the pretty, pretty ones will leave you low and blow your mind. We're all stars now in the dope show. We're all stars now in the dope show. They love you when you're on all the covers. When you're not, they love another."

"Wow." I spoke.

"I know."

"That was deep."

"I know."

"The music video may be creepy and out there, as well as his look and his voice, but the meaning... the meaning is something needing to be worth talking about."

"You're getting it Harry."

"Getting what?"

"He may look like a bad guy, but he speaks truth. He's here to make you listen. Shocking people seems to work. It makes them listen."

"Next?"

"Coma White."

"What's that about?"

"About ruining a girl's perfect little life."

I nodded and he played it.

"There's something cold and blank behind her smile. She's standing over an overpass in her miracle mile. 'Cause you were from a perfect world. A world that threw me away today..." Marilyn song out. As I listened to this one, it really hit me and I teared up from the video and the emotion in his voice.

"Are you crying?" Louis asked after it was over.

"No." I said hiding my face.

"It's okay. It's a lot to handle."

"It is."

"We can stop for today then. But, your homework is to go home and watch every Marilyn Manson music video and I'll give you the interviews to watch that will open your eyes on him and his views."

"Are you sure this is all worth it? That he's all worth it?"

"I wouldn't be here today and wouldn't be me if it wasn't for him. Just do it. Do it to see how to live freely and stop being such a tight ass."

"Okay." I nodded. "Now, I should head out."

"I'll see you soon."

"See ya." I waved.

When I walked out and shut the door, I took a deep breath. I shouldn't have agreed to any of this. None of it is right. I wasn't taught to think like this and to listen to such grossness. My life is going to end with this man and this music. Mark my words.
