Their Sweet Chemical Romance, chapter 1

Nicky was walking alone in the dark, going nowhere. She was by herself in New Jersey for the first time. She dug through her purse, trying to find her mirror.

Her makeup was perfectly put on. Fake eyelashes, abnormally long, but they looked surprisingly real. Metal grey eyeshadow and black eyeliner. Shiny, light pink lipgloss.

She looked flawless and had nowhere special to go. She heard someone walking behind her. She turned around and saw an attractive looking guy with a black hoodie, hood pulled over his head, casting a shadow over his face. He was walking slow, but passed her. She wanted to say something; he looked familiar.

"Hey, do you know where I can find the nearest store? I need cigarettes," Nicky said, half lying, although she really could use a cigarette.

"Ya, I know where there's a store, but it's a pretty bad area. Here, have one of mine," the guy said as he handed her a cigarette.
"Oh, thank you," she said as he lit it. "I'm Nicky," she said as she extended her hand.

"My pleasure. I'm Frank," he said as he pulled off his hood.

"Frank. Frank Iero?" Nicky said, trying to hide her excitement.

"Yes. Haha, I love your hair. It's nice," Frank said.

"Aw, thank you. You're sweet," Nicky said, blushing and looking down at her black stilleto shoes.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking...how old are you?" he asked as he looked at her from top to bottom.

"Haha, I'm 22. Let's walk," Nicky said.

They began to walk. Frank put his arm around Nicky; he saw she was shivering. It started to rain.

"Shit! Come on, let's go in before we get soaked," Frank said as he held Nicky's hand and led her into his house.
