How She Became His Everything

It was 8:30 already and Lynn had only fallen asleep an hour ago only to be woken up by the sound of her cellphone ringing.

"Gerard!" She said unconsciously jumping out of bed, reaching for her phone. "Hello?!!" She answered excitedly, without even looking at the caller ID, longing to hear his voice.

"You are disappointing me more and more Lynn," her uncle said. "Your interview starts now and you're still asleep!"

"Nooo..." She said in disappointment. She wanted it so badly to be Gerard yet it was her uncle lecturing her again.

"Luckily for you, I managed to reschedule it to 9:30 am so you better be ready, I'll have the chauffeur wait for you by then to take you there," Stan informed her firmly.

"But uncle!!" She said disagreeing with the whole thing.

"No buts Lynn. Get yourself ready that's all I'm asking you. Now I have other things to do, I'll be calling back after the interview to see how things went, so...bye for now," Stan didn't give her any other option. This time, she had to do what he wants.

Pressing that little red button, Lynn's hopes and dreams were fading away.
She had to talk to someone, she had to just let it all out, Karen wouldn't talk to me would she? She thought to herself dialing her number...

"Hello, who is it?" Karen answered.

"Karen!!!" Said Lynn, hoping to get a positive feedback after that.

"Oh, Lynn," Karen sounded off.

"Listen, we need to talk, the whole thing was a just a simple misunderstanding," Lynn started to explain.

"Uh huh...?" Said Karen waiting for more.

"You see, things have been going bad with me lately, and..." Lynn paused to think from where to begin then added: "And well, there are a lot of things that you should know,"

"Ok...And?" Karen added.

"I can't speak on the phone now, I have to get ready for this stupid job interview, can you just stop by later?... Please?" Lynn then asked.

"Well, I'm going to have to check my schedule first," Karen was still being stubborn.

"KAREN!!" Lynn couldn't help herself, it got her irritated.

"Sure," Karen then laughed it out. "I'll see you around 9 pm?"

"Ok, till then! Bye!" Lynn knew Karen wouldn't be mad at her for too long,

"Bye bye."

Lynn was a bit relieved things seemed to be cool between her and Karen, but then again, as she was picking out the clothes for the interview, she couldn't help but think of them, for a moment there, she thought she was going to be with her favourite people forever but now it's as if this whole thing is killing her, being so far from happening. She missed her chance with them, she will never ever see them again.

"Ugh, awful," she mumbled to herself, standing in front of the mirror in her black formal business suit. She hated it, more like she hated her life at that moment.

Heading to the car, she had her cellphone in hand, looking at it every 5 seconds, checking and wondering if she was ever going to receive this call from Gerard, she stayed this way the whole way to the company where she had to make that interview. Getting out of the car, looking all the way up, she could see how huge that firm her uncle sent her to was, then she looked around it to see people rushing their way in and out, all dressed the same, walked the same, acted the same, it was all organized, unlike what Lynn really is. She then got inside, feeling so weird and out of place, she noticed everyone was walking pass each other, too busy going through their papers to even notice the others. This is horrible she thought, she didn't want to turn out to be like them, an emotionless human being, a robot!

Her day passed slowly, she got bored being in such a tedious place, there was a lot of waiting, then getting this paper from here and delivering it there, filling out forms going from one floor to another before this interview of endless questions started. At the end of the day she was worn out, all she wanted was to just go back home and rest, and, this time, her wish came true as she went back home, going straight up to her room.

"Hey! You're here! Is it 9 already?" Lynn exclaimed going into her room.

Karen was sitting on her bed waiting for her. "I'm sorry Lynn, I just got a bit paranoid yesterday," Karen started. "I was afraid you'd start ignoring me and eventually forget about me since you are with the famous My Chemical Romance now," she expressed her concerns.

"You don't have to worry about that anymore," Lynn sat next to her. "My Chemical Romance are history now, they are out of my life," Lynn felt this lump form in her throat as she said that.

"What?" Karen was surprised. "What are you talking about?"

Lynn had no choice but to tell her the whole story, with the boring details, just the way Karen loves it. They stayed all night talking, the clock hit 1 am and Lynn was still talking everything out to be finally interrupted by the sound of rocks hitting her bedroom window again.

Both, looking at each other, smiled and mumbled, "Brad!" as Karen walked towards the window, keeping it closed, looking down at Brad, said to Lynn,"Brad has changed you know?"

"Wait! Don't even try to convince me to go back to him! No matter how sad my life gets! I am not getting back with him, period!" Lynn exclaimed.

"No, I'm saying he's changed, his hair, it's like, longer now," Karen explained.

"Whatever," Lynn sighed. "Just tell him to go away before my uncle wakes up again."

Karen then opened the window and as she took a better look at him, she looked back at Lynn to say, "Uh, Lynn? I don't think that's Brad."

"What? stop delusioning Karen," Lynn added, still sitting on the bed. "Just tell him to flock off before I call the police, police scares him."

Karen wasn't so sure yet, she took a closer look at the person standing out on the street, struggling to figure out who he was as it was dark and the tree branches were getting in the way but she was finally able to notice that he didn't seem drunk like Brad usually is, and as she was gazing into him more, her eyes got open wide turning back to Lynn and saying excitedly, "LYNN! Call me obsessed but I swear I just saw someone looking like Frank Iero!"

Lynn got off of the bed and head to the window mumbling with irritation, "You don't want to make Brad leave, fine, I will."
As Lynn was about to ask Brad to leave, Karen stopped her saying, "Lynn! Oh my god that's Frank! It's him! I swear, Frankie's at your bedroom window! How sweet!"

Lynn getting Karen out of her way added, "Karen stop it! He doesn't even know my address." She then walked to the window and yelled: "Brad go away before I call the police!"

"Lynn?" That person whispered from below.

"Wh-wait, could it be Frank?" Lynn mumbled. She was confused, Brad doesn't whisper, he usually yells it out flirting and being a usual jerk, but it couldn't possibly be Frank, what would bring him to her bedroom window at 1 am and Karen always confuses people with MCR members, being so obsessed and all.
