Gerard POV
I had told the guys about talking to Cody and they had all just smiled. "Sweet. When do we get to meet her? Cause she seems pretty cool. I mean she basically saved from being eaten alive by screaming fan girls.", Frank said as he shuddered at the thought. I even shuddered, screaming fan girls were my worst nightmare besides needles.
Yeah sure I'd love to get a tattoo, but I was deathly afraid of needles. Just the sight of them made me freak out. They would have to knock me out just to get one and near me. So I stick to permanent markers.
Finally it was 1pm and I knocked on her hotel room door. I gasped as she stepped out of the room. She looked amazing. Cody had redone her makeup and was now wearing jeans with a low cut 'Do or Die' shirt and a My Chem hoodie.
She rolled her eyes and said "Trying to catch some flies?" I smiled and said "Nice hoodie. Where to?" She looked at the ceiling and said "Up? To the roof I mean."
"Do you know how to get up there?"
She smiled and said "Yeah, but were not suppose to be up there."
Confused I said "Then how do you know how to get up?"
She blushed saying "When I get bored I sneak around. I wanted to see the stars, like I did with Ni..Nikki, so I found a way up to the roof."
Her eyes started to tear up after mentioning Nikki so I went up to her and hugged her. She wrapped her arms around me and I said "It's okay. Would you like to talk about it?" She nodded from inside my grasp and said "On the roof. Follow me." I let her go and followed her up the stairs to a door.
I tired to open it only to find it lock. I heard Cody laugh and say "Step aside Gerard there's only one way in." Then she pulled out this key looking thing and stuck it in the key hole. She moved it around and suddenly the now unlocked door popped open.
She smiled at me, took me hand, and led me to the middle of the roof where a blanket was laying. Then she sat down as I said "Cody where did you learn to do that?"
I sat down next to her as she said "Nikki taught me how to when I locked my keys inside my house." Her eyes started to water again as I said "Cody uh.. Who's Nikki?"
Tears started falling down her face as she said "Nikki was my best friend. She was more like my family then my own family ever will be."
She had started to really cry now so I brought her into a tight hug and said "What happened?"
She held onto me saying "She killed herself a couple of weeks ago. Died of an overdose."
I tried to think of something to say and only came up with "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I need to get over this. I just need to face the fact that the only who had ever cared about me and was there for me is dead. I am utterly alone in this big blue world."
I looked at her straight in the eyes and said "Look at me. Your not alone. I'm here for you I care about you don't you get it! The reason I'm with you right now is because because…… I Love You."
She smiled softly while looking down at her fingers. I held her tight as she whispered "You know Gee, when I first saw you my heart stopped. I love you too."
I smiled and said "Okay now it's time to play 'Get to know each other'. Favorite color?"
She laughed, leaned into me, and said "Okay. Uh…. Black, red, and white. You?"
"Black and red. Movie?"
"Nightmare Before Christmas and Avatar."
"You and Frank will get along great. He loves Nightmare before Christmas. Avatar was pretty good. I have to say The City of Lost Children. Band?"
"Cool we'll have to watch it. Oh and My Chem, of course."
I laughed and said "Besides us."
She thought for a moment and said "I don't know. I like Black Veil Brides, Fall Out Boy, uh… Green Day, and uh.. a lot more. What about you?"
She started laughing as I answered "Besides myself? Smashing Pumpkins, Iron Maiden, and uh.. Green Day. What are you scared of?"
She stopped laughing, shuddered, and then said "Needles."
"Bu…but!"
She stopped before I could say anything else.
"I know what your going to say. How can I get a tattoo if I am deathly afraid of needles. Your gonna think its weird, but its just so happens that I can calm down just enough to get a tattoo by listening to My Chem. Yeah listening to you guy's music calms me down just enough."
"Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. Okay now I have one more question for you."
"Yeah Gee?"
"What's so wrong with your life that made you cut?"
She froze as I pulled her sleeve up her right arm. She had done a good job at trying not to make them noticeable. I mean they were just little white lines now, but I had noticed them. She grabbed her arm from my hand and held it to her chest.
Then she said "Used to. I don't anymore. I haven't for a year. And since you must know the only reason I stopped once because I met Nikki. She was just as bad as me; maybe worse, but we made it through together. I was still cutting and Nikki was still trying to get me to stop. Then I found My Chem. You guys saved my life literally. No joke you guys were the reason I stop cutting. You're the reason that I'm still here, but I still felt like shit sometimes. My parents didn't really even know who I was since they were never around to raise me. They were always off on a vacation or at their house in England for work sometimes 4 years at a time. I never saw them and after I had almost committed suicide, that was before My Chem, they would just pay me $1,000 a week to make me shut up or something. They even began to spend longer time periods out at England until I barley knew what my parents looked like. I was miserable, lonely, depressed, and worthless until you guys and Nikki came along. Their you got you story."
I looked at her and said "You have me now. Your okay now. Come on let's go meet the guys."
She shook her head and said "Wait! You can't tell anyone what I told you! Please!"
I nodded and said "I promise that I won't tell anyone. I just have one more thing."
She turned around to say something, but I leaned in and kissed her. Then I whispered in her ear "Will you go out with me?"
She nodded and kissed me back. Then we walked down to go see the guys hand in hand.
