I Don't Care ~ Fall Out Boy

Epilogue

Laptop.

Yes, I am looking at my laptop.

Okay, that was weird.

I checked the time on my phone by my side, and shook my head.

It was 2:38 in the morning, meaning a whole minute had passed since that little excursion.

I got up slowly, and my eyes widened as I stared down at my… attire.

Jeans, yellow Keds, black and yellow tank tops, and a black jacket that I loved so much off of the PacSun website.

I jumped in front of the mirror, grinning as I realized how badass I looked with that Jeremiel doing his thing and looking deadlier than ever.

I was about to spin around, but stopped short when I realized the back.

There were two huge ass gashes cut between my shoulder blades.

Oh well, nothing a little thread couldn't fix.

I grinned, flipping my hair back as I (once again) threw out another awesome pose.

I swear, America's Next Top Model had nothing on me.

"Ah, I love my job." I sighed.

Ping!

That little sound from my laptop echoed throughout the room, and I raised an eyebrow.

I collapsed on the side of my bed at the next instant, reading over a new instant message.

KrazyWithaK: I had the weirdest dream.

My eyes narrowed.

Mad Ink: Rlly? Dnt tell me u fell asleep while talkin 2 me!

KrazyWithaK: No! No! I swear! But it was the COOLEST dream ever.

I gnawed on my lower lip.

Mad Ink: *rolls eyes* Ok then, lets hear it.

KrazyWithaK: Ok so, u were in my dream, and we were in the Maximum Ride series! The last book, actually! We fought, and kicked ass, and at the end I kissed Iggy.

She thought it was a dream. Just a dream. I could and would work with this.

Okay, let's give the most Madi-like answer.

Mad Ink: Omd u dream abt me?

KrazyWithaK: It wasnt JUST u, jeez. Only u wuld say somethin like that.

Mad Ink: Well, it IS a legitimate ques. Do u smoke w/o me, Claire?

KrazyWithaK: Plz, just tell me if it was a dream. It felt so real…

I sighed deeply, and let my smart side do the talking. The last thing I needed was for someone to be in danger.

Mad Ink: Yea, u'v been out 4 a while. Im surprised I got a reply all

An awkward pause descended on the chatroom.

Mad Ink: I think imma turn in. night.

KrazyWithaK: Night

I clicked the 'x' button, and flipped the screen down on my laptop and placed it on my beanbag. I reached around and flipped off my lamp, darkness enveloping the room.

I settled into my bed, and sighed.

This was something that was becoming routine, a new life I knew a little more about. At what costs, I was willing to find out.

But for now, I was the Rogue. A scoundrel that no longer belonged in one world, but three, and many more that I'd yet to have discovered.

One day, perhaps.

"Psh, Hollywood my ass."
