Cherry Bomb [Killjoy-My Chemical Romance fan fiction]

Gunshot

The rest of the ride is quiet as we glide along the rocky roads. Every once and a while I catch Kobra looking at me from the corner of my eye. I have to admit is he hot, but I can't let looks get the best of me. I've only just met these guys. What if he's an ass? So I just sit there quietly enjoy the warm air that gets blown through the open windows. After what feels like a half an hour I ask "So, where exactly are we going?"

"We have a base about another 20 miles up ahead. We'll take you there and let you get settled." Party explains from the front not taking his eyes off the road. I nod even though he can't see me. My eye slowly droop as we make our way across the desert. I feel exhausted. I woke up early for work and its not even 9 in the morning yet and its already been so eventful. I eventually lean back in my seat and shut my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I awake to someone faintly calling my name. I open my eyes only to find the car has stopped and everyone was getting out of the car. I blink getting use to the light and stretch my arms out in front of me. Party is leaning his head into the back of the car. "Rise and shine Cherry. " He says smirking at me. I smile shyly and get out of the car. "Welcome to Casa de killjoy." He says walking towards a colorful diner. I rub the sleepiness out of my eyes as I make my way into the diner. It was covered in colorful paintings and an American flag. It had records lying about and papers spilled everywhere. "Excuse the mess Fun doesn't know who to clean up after himself." Jet says smirking at Fun.

"Hey I just get to caught up in other business to finish the stuff I as working on." Fun remarks.

"Since when did taking a nap count as business." Kobra said quietly and everyone laughed. I felt like I let go of a breath I had been holding. I finally felt at ease. I barely knew these people but I felt free. I could finally be myself. I could start drawing again, maybe learn an instrument, and finally take down Korse. I felt a smile creep onto my face. It's been a long time since that has happened.

"Kobra show Cherry to her room. The empty one in the back can be hers." Party says to him as he picks up scattered papers everywhere. Kobra waves his hand, signaling me to follow him as we make our way past the kitchen of the diner and into a back room.

I follow Kobra farther into the back of the diner. While doing so I get to admire his back side. Hey, I may have been sheltered for the last 5 years of my but that doesn't mean I don't know what a really nice ass looks like. I smirk to myself at my comment and stop behind Kobra.

"This is your room, for now." He says very monotone like, moving the breads that are used for a door.

"Thanks", I say giving him a smile, walking past him and into my new room. I stepped into my new little room and it was perfect. White walls every where. Just waiting to be painted and decorated. There was a little bed pushed up against  the far wall. and a closet right next to where we had walked in. It was located in the back of the diner behind the kitchen. Close to all the food. Yum.

"You can decorate it however you like, we always have room for more creativity here." He says with an ever so small smile. He's not so bad, just shy and quiet. I wonder whats going on inside that head of his?

"Thank you again. It's perfect." I said smiling looking back at the room. Kobra says something quietly under his breath and I look his way giving him a questioning look. "Did you say something?"

"Nothing." He says. I nod softly and the room becomes quiet. We stand there in awkward silence until he breaks it with a cough. "Well I better get going, I'll let you settle in and you can come out when your ready."

"Okay...and again thank you. All of you guys, I thought I was gonna be stuck inside those white walls forever." I let out a little laugh to easy up the tension. He lets out a little laugh too rubbing the back of his head.
