I Want to Go Outside

Clarissa’s pov
Jimmy drove his car into town, I marveled at everything. At times he would look uneasy, but other times he looked happy. I smiled at the world around me. It was all so much better than pictures. Jimmy took me to walk around for a while, parking his car then took hold of my hand. I was having so much fun as we walked through the empty park, until Jimmy decided it was time to go back. A thought came into my head and before I had time to think the plan all the way through I picked up large branch while Jimmy’s back was to me, then slammed it against his head to knock him out.

“Oh my god.” I gasped when I realized what I had done.

Quickly I dragged him to the sidewalk. I didn’t know how to drive so I did the first thing that came to my mind. I hailed a taxi and got inside, with Jimmy who was still knocked out.

“Is he okay?” The cab driver asked.

I nodded, “Yeah, he just got drunk and passed out.”

The man nodded and I quickly said Las Vegas, out of the first thought that came to my mind. The man gave me a weird look but didn’t argue. The ride was silent except for the sound of the radio and our breathing. Jimmy could sure sleep a long time. He didn’t even wake up as the man drove up in front of a hotel in Las Vegas. I marveled at everything again, and then charged it on my dad’s credit card.

“Come on.” I grumbled, dragging Jimmy into the rundown hotel.

The hotel attendant didn’t ask questions as I dragged him inside. Quickly I charged a suite on my dad’s card then took the key, and lugged Jimmy up to the room. I slammed the door then collapsed on the bed. Jesus he was heavy. Out of fear I checked his pulse to make sure he was still breathing then looked around for something to restrain him. I found a pair of handcuffs and the key to them.

“Sorry Jimbo.” I mumbled as I snapped the handcuffs to one of his wrist and the other to the metal stripper pole that was attached to the floor and ceiling.

Quickly I took his cell phone and turned it off, taking it away from him, with his wallet as well. Smiling to myself I ran out of the room making sure to have my key. I walked along the streets and even went shopping, spending my dad’s money but not too much. There was so much to see in Las Vegas, more than in HB. On my way back to the hotel a man approached me but he wasn’t just any man, he was Gerard Way.

“Gee?” I asked.

He nodded and stepped forward to show that he no longer had short bleach blonde hair. Taking my hand he kissed the top of it then grinned.

“What are you doing out of your cage?”

I looked down at my feet.

“Did you sneak away?” He asked.

I nodded, knowing I had been caught.

But instead of scolding me he smiled, “It was bound to happen eventually. Now tell me are you alone?”

I shook my head no, “Jimmy’s with me.”

“Would you mind if I came up to visit you two?” He asked.

I shook my head, “It’s okay but I kind of knocked Jimmy out.”

Gerard took hold of my hand and we walked up to the room. I unlocked the door and once we got in Jimmy’s eyes opened and boy did he look pissed.

“Clarissa!” He yelled at me.

I looked down at my feet, hiding behind Gerard. Gerard placed a protective arm around me.

“Watch your tone, James.” He hissed.

I watched as Gerard shut the door and hugged me to his chest.

“You’ve been deprived of your freedom for way too long, I’m here to change that. When I’m done you’ll be able to see the whole world.” Gerard promised taking a hold of my pinky with his.

“Don’t hurt him, please.” I looked up into his hazel eyes.

Gerard nodded, “I won’t.”

After that I don’t know what happened, all I knew was that now I was in an airplane with Jimmy who was tied up even more, Gerard, Frank, Mikey, and Ray.
