How She Became His Everything

Waiting for their turn in the hospital, Ray was holding a magazine for Mikey to read as Lynn was sitting there lost in her own world, thinking of how nice Gerard was to her at first, and how careless he became, it was the same thing that happened between her and her uncle, one day he was so kind, the next he became formal.

"Hey Mikey!" A nurse's voice interrupted her thoughts. "It's been a while!"

Mikey smiled as Ray added angrily, "lasting 2 days without a visit here doesn't mean he hasn't been trying to!"

"Come on Mikey," the nurse looked at him smiling. "Let's get this thing off."
Mikey stood up and as he was following her, he turned to glince at Lynn and Ray with a large smile on his face.

"Man this nurse is like a huge reward for him everytime he's hurt," Ray added, watching Mikey leave.

"Aw, Mikey likes her?" Lynn smiled, watching them disappear as they got in one of the rooms.

"Yes, poor Tracy," Ray commented, looking back at the magazine in his hands

"She seems sweet though," Lynn added, grabbing an article to read and try to get her mind off Gerard.

A short moment later, Lynn's cellphone rings. Putting the magazine down, she grabbed it from the bag to look at the caller ID and see it was Gerard.
It surprised her knowing he was trying to ignore her earlier yet now he's calling her.
She didn't know what to do, Eliza told her not to even look at him.

"Should I answer that for you?" Said Ray "Don't get me wrong, I love listening to our song play on cellphones, it's just that people around us are starting to stare, and I think I know what's on their mind."

She didn't really have to answer it, she could just push that little red button and get it over with, but she wasn't that kind of a person. Gerard might need help, he might, somehow, have some explanation for all of what happened she thought to herself deciding to finally answer.

"Hey,"

"I need to talk to you," Gerard was almost whispering.

"What?" Lynn replied trying to sound mad at him.

"Meet me in front of Ray's room at 4 pm," he said.

"I can't, it's 3:30 now and I'm not in the hotel," she added.

"I really need you to be there in 30 minutes Lynn, it's important," he said hanging up.

"Not supposed to talk to him my ass," She mumbled to herself thinking of what Eliza told her earlier as she put the phone back in her hand bag.

"What?" Ray pulled his magazine down to look at her.

"Nothin, I need to go," she declared standing up and getting her coat on.

"How? You're not going to wait for Mikey?" He added.

"I'm sorry, I have things to do. I'll see you guys later," she added rushing her way out of the hospital.

Lynn tried to get to there as fast as possible, she really wanted to know what was going on, things have been happening so unexpectedly recently and she was seriously fed up with everything.
Meaning to sort things out again, Lynn rushed to Ray's front door to look at her watch and realize she was 15 minutes early. It gave her time to think everything over once again and think of what she had in mind for Gerard.

She had it all set as she got ready to question and lecture him to get the explanation needed when he arrives, the only problem was that the clock hit 5:00 pm and Gerard wasn't there yet.
She didn't believe he would really stand her up so she decided to wait longer hoping he'd show up. Yet another hour had passed and Lynn was still there, sitting on the floor, getting frustrated and feeling so empty inside. She lifted her knees up to lean her arms on them where she then rested her head. She could feel she was on the verge of some kind of a depression and after all, even if she decided not to wait for him anymore, where would she go? Frank isn't in his room, Ray and Mikey are at the hospital.

A couple of minutes later, eyes closed, trying to figure out why she was ditched this way, she hears a familiar voice saying, "Lynn, is that you?"
Lifting her head, Lynn smiled lightly, she was glad someone was finally there. It was Frank, standing there, looking at her.

"What's wrong?" He said sitting on the floor next to her. "You look so pale." He added.

"I'm so tired," she said weakly. "Emotionally tired," she added.

Frank wrapped an arm around her, pulling her over to him, kissing her on the side of her head, "It's ok, I'm here now, you can talk to me."

"I'm tired of talking," she took a deep breath. "I'm tired of life itself."

"Don't say that!" He said giving her another kiss on the cheeks. "Come on, I'll take you to your room," he added standing up as he then lifted her letting her hold on to him by wrapping her arms around his tatooed neck.

"No, I don't want to go there!" She exclaimed.

"Where?" He said surprised. "You mean your room?"

"My room, ha, yes," she replied knowing she no longer has a room.

"Would you pay Frankie a little visit then?" He asked with a cute smile on his face, turning around to go back to his room.

"Uh huh," she said "Good thing I got Frankie," she added resting her head on his shoulder.

He got her in and put her on the sofa

"So," he said slipping next to her. tell me," he added looking at her closely.

"I got kicked out of my own room Frankie," she replied looking back at him.

"No seriously," he laughed lightly. "What is it, you know you can tell me anything."

"Yeah, seriously. Gerard and Eliza are back together now and she... she simply kicked me out." She added waiting for his reaction.

"The bitch! What the fuck...." Frank started to get mad.

"It's ok," she interrupted. "I don't care anymore."

"Care about what?"

"Nothing, nevermind," she added.

"I'm serious. Tell me," he insisted.
She couldn't tell him it was Gerard she was talking about. She didn't want him to get any ideas about it but he was looking her straight in the eyes as if he knew what she had in mind but still waiting for her to say it.
"Tell me," he repeated.

"Someone's at the door," she said interrupting him.

"What?" He added frowning.

"Someone's knocking," she added pointing to the door.

"Oh," hee said getting up and heading to the door to open it.

"Brian, hey, what's up," Frank said.

"Hey, is Lynn there?" Brian asked.

"Yes, she's here,"

"I've been looking all over the place for you two, I thought you would be back at noon but none of you was in his room by that time," Brian expressed his concern, coming inside.

"We were back at noon but..." Frank tried explaining, but he failed, not wanting to mention the news about Lynn getting kicked out because of Gerard's girlfriend, he didn't want her to get into any more trouble with her uncle.

"I'm kind of in a hurry here," Brian interrupted. "Here is your schedule for tomorrow," he then added handing Frank some papers.

"Good to have you back Lynn," he then said. She smiled and was about to say something, but Brian interrupted her, "here is tomorrow's paper works."

"Just that?" Lynn looked strangely at the papers in her hand. "This is half of what I did before."

"I know," he said. "You will be sharing your work with Shannon, I hired her right after your uncle asked me to fire you."

"What?" She was surprised. "Well, you can let her go now, I can do this on my own!" She said, trying to hide the fact that she was upset.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, we already signed a contract with her," Brian explained. "Anyway, I'm out now. Later," he waved heading to the door.

"I'm sorry honey," Frank said noticing that it upset her that they thinks he couldn't do the job on her own, as if she wasn't up for it. "If it makes you feel any better, you'll always be my favorite!" He humorously added wrapping his arms around her again, making her smile a little.
