And with that, he left the room. Leaving me alone with my thoughts. This was too much to take in. Korse is alive and he's looking for me for some reason. He has my little sister. My birth father is alive and just spoke to me- I can't take this. All my emotions came out at the same time.

I started crying. I cried into the pillow for a while until I felt somebody hug me and whisper "It's all gonna be okay" in my ear. I opened my eyes to see Party Poison comforting me. I have no idea what I'd do without him.

A couple of months later, I began getting familiar with the people in the zones. I befriended Val Velocity and the Ultra V's, I accepted Cherri Cola as my dad, and I made a new friend (who's the same age as me) named Daniel. He told me to call him Mad Gear, though. The boys and I haven't thought of a killjoy name for me yet. We've been too busy trying to get away from Korse. He won't leave me alone.

As of right now, I was dancing around in the main area of the diner. A song called "Bulletproof Heart" had been stuck in my head since Cherri- I mean Dad, showed it to me.

Me
Party Poison
Both

Gravity doesn't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away
If we could run away
Run away from here

I was too busy singing and dancing around I didn't even notice the second person entering the room.

I got a bulletproof heart
You gotta hollow point smile
We had our runaway scarves
Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile

Let's blow a hole in this town
And do our talking with the laser beam
Coming out of this place
In a bullet's embrace

Then we'll do it again
How can they say

I turned around to see Party Poison singing along with me. Surprisingly, his voice matched the actual singer. His presence never threw me off guard but encouraged me to keep going.

Jenny, could you come back home?
'Cause everybody knows you don't
Ever wanna come back
Let me be the one to save you

Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
When we could run away
When we could run away, run away from here

I'm shooting out of this room
Because I sure don't like the company
You stop your preaching right there
'Cause I really don't care
And I'll do it again

So get me outta my head
'Cause it's getting quite cramped, you know
Coming ready or not
When the motor gets hot
We can do it again

The papers say Johnny won't you come back home?
'Cause everybody knows you don't wanna give yourself up
Tell the truth and God will save you

Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you

Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away,
And we could run away, run away from here

And though I know how much you hate this
Are you gonna be the one to save us
From the black and hopeless feeling
Will you meet 'em when the end comes
reeling?

Hold your heart into this darkness
Will it ever be the light to shine you out
Or fail and leave you stranded
Or are you gonna be the one left standing?
You're gonna be the one left standing
You're gonna be the one left standing
