Wings of a Butterfly

Chapter 2: Killing Loneliness

I got out of the taxi and paid the driver then got my suitcases, bags, and boxes out of the car.
I took all my belongings into my house. The house was nice and there was a home phone.

Perfect.

I didn't have a phone since in Finland most phones are shitty in quality and most things Americans have don't really exist in Finland like convertibles and other things.
I grabbed the home phone(Thank fucking god!) and dialed Lauren's number.

1 Ring.....2 Rings.....

"Hello?", answered Lauren with an obviously "you just fucking woke me up from a great dream so you better have a fucking good reason why" kind of voice.

"Well, hello to you too, kusipää!!!!", I said obviously irritated.

"Oh, sorry.I thought you were... nevermind. You in America or still on the plane?", Lauren asked.

"I'm in America at my house.", I said.

"Cool.Hey, I'll have to hang up. See you tomorrow?", Lauren said.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow.", I said and Lauren hung up.

I went into my empty room.I went into the kitchen and saw my boxes labeled "BEDROOM".
I grabbed them and took them into my room and then went back to the living room.
I grabbed the paint cans full of beautiful, rich black liquid. I looked into my suitcases and duffels to see if I found my PJs. Once I did, I put those on and went into my bedroom.I started to paint the bedroom.

*1-2 hours later*
The room had just finished drying. I pushed my bed frame, which had arrived about 30 minutes ago, and set it into the corner.After that, the mattress. Oh, Boy this is going to be a long night. It's only 8:00 P.M so I have enough time.

*12:00 A.M*
Finally, finished unpacking and putting my furniture in the right place. Great, I can now go to sleep.

*Next day*
BEEP!!! BEEP!!! BEEP!!!
I woke up groaning. I looked at my digital clock and saw it said 6:30. Great. I got out of bed and made my way to the kitchen.

I made some coffee and some waffles then grabbed my colored pencils and paper. I sat down on my couch and started on the outline of the face of my "uncle" Ville Valo when there was a knock on the door.

I groaned then stood up and walked over to the door to see Lauren and some men with cables and tools behind her.

"Come on in boys. We've got a lot of work to do.", Lauren said. Some men walked over to the flat screen TV I now had while the rest of them walked over to the basement.

The guys with the TV were drilling holes into the walls and connecting the wires to the TV. Next, they walked over to my bedroom and to the Flat screen I had there and they started drilling holes, connecting wires to the TV.

"All done, Miss.", the guy's voice boomed.

"Thanks, Frank!!", Lauren said.

The guys from the basement came up.

"The water, electricity and heating are in action.", one of the guys said.

"Cool!!! Thanks", Lauren said. She paid all the guys and they left.

"We have to go to the mall, Devyn.", Lauren said. "Um... Sure. Why not?", I said.

I went to my room and changed into some cut up jeans, GNR Crop top, black Vans, a black leather jacket, some bracelets, and makeup.I grabbed my house keys and left with Lauren.

*10 MINS later*
We arrived at the mall. Lauren had parked her car and then we went to the mall.

"We should get you a phone first.", Lauren said.

"Ok, let's go?", I said. Lauren pulled my arm in the direction of the phone store. We went in and looked at the phones.

"This one!!! An iPhone 4!!!", Lauren exclaimed.

"Yeah!!! Sure!!!", I said. We paid for it and set it up. Lauren entered her phone number and a few other people's phone number.

"Here! I put in some of my friends in case you need anything.", Lauren said. "Cool.", I said.

She left to go to another store. I walked by a few stores till I found one store that caught my attention.

They were playing a song called.... Scissorhands (The Last Snow) by a band called Motionless in White. I loved this song.

I walked into the store and was immediately greeted with a lot of darkness. I looked around and found band t-shirts, jewelry, belts, dresses, sweaters all of those types of stuff. I grabbed a few things and accidentally bumped into a guy a few inches taller than me.

"Sorry! I'm such a klutz!", I said.

"No, No.It's not your fault.I wasn't looking where I was going.", the shy guy said.

He had black hair, piercings, and he was wearing an outfit I would wear if I were a boy.

"What's your name, darling?", he said.

"My name is Devyn. How about you?", I said picking up my items from the floor.

"My name is Ricky. Here let me help you.", he said. He grabbed a HIM shirt that had fallen from my arms and a Nightmare Before Christmas blanket.

"Cool, I like these things. HIM one of the best bands ever and The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the best movies ever.", Ricky said.

I smiled.

"Well, I beg to differ. HIM is one of the most awesome bands ever and The Nightmare Before Christmas is a great movie. A classic basically.", I said.

He smiled then said,"Well, I have to go. See you around?"

I hesitated then said, "Maybe".

We said our goodbyes and I went to pay at the counter.
