Aaaaaaaaaaaaand time to resume the story. Btw the lyrics in this are the ones I mentioned earlier and also written by me. Hope they don't suck but whatever.
********************************************
I drive through the night as Nora held onto me. I end up stopping and parking on some random street. Nora hops off and shivers. I get up and put my leather jacket around her shoulders.
"So where are we going? You don't happen to have a secret base here in vale do you? If so that would be awesome. Is there a pool table there? Or a kitchen because I could go for some pancakes right now."
I laugh a little," No I don't have a secret base here in vale. I just wanted to walk around away from.....them. So let's go see where the night takes us."
"Okay,"we start heading down the street,"so what's with the tattoo on your wrist? What does it mean? Is it the symbol of a super cool secret organization? Can I join?"
"I wish. Maybe we could start a secret organization, but not as creepy and cancerous as the illuminati. And the tattoo represents unity in diversity in a small tribes language. They are on an island off the shore of Menagerie I believe. I am thinking about getting another tattoo. Another symbol that represents loyalty on my chest is what I'm planning. "
"Cool. Soooo, um, there's no way to avoid this but what happened at beacon?"
"When I was six the Belladonnas adopted me. Eventually they grew to abusing me and I had to live in the shed. Eventually when I was seven I ran away. Met a woman named Rosemary Scarletina who helped me. She fed me and gave me some supplies. She couldn't adopt me though because of financial reasons though. So I went on my way and stowed away on a plane. I had no idea it went to Vacuo though. Then some guy called Vulcan took me in. He was a weapon smith. He made Truth and Perception here. Vulcan trained me, but wasn't exactly a shoulder to cry on or anything like that. And he died when I was thirteen, three years ago."
"Well I guess it is a good thing you're going to Beacon now. Because jnpr will be there for you. Or if you want I can be your shoulder to cry on. You know so your kickass, leg breaking bounty hunter reputation remains intact."
"Thanks. Now I hear some singing from there,"I say pointing to a building,"so let's go there." We walk in and it's a bar with karaoke. The guy on stage is okay, but is waaaaay too drunk to be any good. We take seats in a booth, Nora right next to me. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath.
"Do you sing? Or play the piano? Or the guitar? Since you said you only had time for music."
"I play the guitar, piano, and trumpet. Also I write my own music........and lyrics" I mumble the last part.
"What was the last part?"
"What last part?"
"After you said you write your own music, you mumbled something. "
"Promise you won't tell?" She holds out her pinkie too me. I wrap my pinkie around hers and she does the same to mine. "I write my own lyrics. It's just that all of the lyrics are personal so I keep them to myself. And I don't want anyone to hear me sing soooooo yeah."
"Awwww you're shy. What if it was just me, then could I hear you sing? Pleeeaaaassssseeee?"
I leer at her before sighing," maybe later."
"We're at a karaoke bar, why not now?"
"Because there's people here."
"But they don't know you and won't see them ever again. And they're drunk~ They wouldn't know better."
"But-" she starts giving me puppy dog eyes and pouts. Don't do it Dustin. Don't give in to the adorableness. Just need it too stop. It's like my soul is crying right now. "Fine."
"Yay!" I slowly make my way up to the stage. Flipping through all of the songs none of them interest me so I grab a guitar off of its stand.

You act like your so innocent
I guess it's killing with a smile
Laughing in a graveyard
Where is your halo now?

Im pissed but you know this
Did you ever care?
The slings and arrows is death
But at least it doesn't lie
Pain tear right through me
I wanna love, I wanna die
You wanna fight, who survives?
I'm just a little depressed
You're just a little shit
We're both bound for hell
There you go, Killing with a smile
But I rushed it, gave a sin a chance
Sorry I gave a damn
You took your chance
I'm loosing my mind
I don't know why
Jekyll left the room
Your my serum
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die
Why can't I die?
Tears start forming in my eyes. Now I'm focused on singing and playing, as if I'm alone.
I'm a dead man walking
Got no pulse to save
I'm back for blood
Pull out a shotgun
Cuz I wanna see you try
Bloodshed and bulletholes
I let you in and I'm gonna kill someone
Is it me or is it you
Let Russian roulette to choose
I know I'm going to hell, you are too
Got no love with my pain, see red again
Call me mr.Hyde, you made me this way
Fuck it all, you're going down
I need blood, I need it now
I'm just a dead man now
Why can't you kill me?

You act like your so innocent
I guess it's killing with a smile
Laughing in a graveyard
Where is your halo now?

What happened to empathy?
I want it too all go away,
I don't want any of this rage
We have our scars, I fucked up
Why did I open up?
Never seen me drown before
Blood in my lungs
Got no breath you whore
Fuck it all, don't want no more
Break me down
slit my throat
Bullet in my head
Let me drown
Break my bones
Just kill me

You act like your so innocent
I guess it's killing with a smile
Laughing in a graveyard
Where is your halo now?
Your halo now,
Your halo now,
Your halo now,
So just let me drown

I put the guitar down and walk back to the booth, wiping off the tears. Nora has tears in her eyes and hugs me. "Was I any good?"
She nods, still has her face buried in my chest. "And this is what I meant by emotional and private. If it would help, next time I'll dig a love song or whatever. But hey, it's my past. My future still hasn't been made so, let's make it a good one. And you said something about wanting pancakes so let's go find a diner or something open that sells them, okay?"
She releases me from the hug and drags me out of the bar, nearly sprinting. "Don't rip my arm off Nora!" I chuckle
"Then speed up, cuz I want some pancakes."
"But I want to enjoy the night, not rush through it." She turns around and picks me up bridal style, startling me so I let out a squeak. "Put me down Nora!"
"But pancakes!!!! We have no time!" She carries me to my motorcycle and makes me drive to the closest diner that's open, which I found from my scroll. We have a pretty good time. I let Nora drive my motorcycle to Beacon while I stay out a little longer to do things I'd hate for her to do like drink.
