How She Became His Everything

"Wish me luck!" Lynn said getting ready.

"Why?"Shannon replied, unaware of the whole Eliza and Gerard matter.

"Nevermind," Lynn walked her way out.

Even though Gerard's room was the closest, she just avoided it, heading directly Ray and Mikey's.

"Hey Lynn!" Ray greeted her opening the door. "Is something wrong? It's almost midnight!" He added.

"No I just wanted to give you guys some papers for the tour," she said walking in.

"Oh, those allowed expenses stuff," Ray took his paper to then start reading it.

"Yup," Lynn replied. "Where's Mik..."

"Lynn!" Mikey interrupted her walking in then giving her a hug.

"Hey you!" She exclaimed, "here you go."

"Tour stuff?"Mikey asked taking his papers.

"Yeah, and they are not to be put on fire! They are valuable!" Lynn added smiling.

"I know," Mikey seemed stable this time.

"Lynn, my darling," Ray said wrapping an arm around her to gesture with the second adding, "look around you, the room is clean, Mikey is neat, no weird smells and most importantly I'm not shouting and yelling... Mikey there, has stopped his little games."

"So no more explosions?" Lynn laughing turning to Mikey.

"No, but I'd like to try one last one on Eliza," Mikey said making Lynn crack up.

"You probably think he's joking," Ray added. "But he tried to attack her when she was passing by a couple of minutes ago," he explained. "But I managed to hold him back."

"She was passing by, you mean she was leaving?" Lynn asked, seeing her chance.

"Yes, I don't understand why would she be going out at 12 am," Ray added.

"Well if she's out then I better go to Gerard's right now," Lynn added walking out. "Since I'm planning on getting out alive," she mumbled to herself as she got to the hallway.

Ok, he thinks I hate him, Lynn started thinking on the way to his room. Maybe he doesn't want to see me now... Or he simply just doesn't care... Typical of him anyways, he never did. I can't face him now though.

She stood in front of this door and started having flashbacks of when she was coming back from her uncle's place excited to meet him to then find him with Eliza.
How heart broken she was then.

I can't do this, I'm sure he wouldn't want to see the sight of me right now... Thoughts started rushing through her mind again as she was still standing there with the papers in hand.
I'll just slip it from under the door and go back to my room, she finally decided.

Lynn then knelt to pass the papers, she held on to the door as it opened wide.
"Shit," she mumbled in a low tone quickly standing up. I didn't even knock and he knew I was out here, she thought to herself trying to straighten up and face him.

As she finally looked at the door, she realized no one was there. It wasn't Gerard who opened it, it was already left unlocked.

She stood there again, staring at the empty living room.
It was dark, so quiet and motionless in there that Lynn couldn't keep herself from coming in, it got too interesting for her to just turn her back and leave.

"Gerard?" She said loudly going to the kitchen.

It looked really messy, unlike when she was living with him.
She could see loads of unwashed dishes in the sink, spoons lying everywhere, sauce drops on the table and chairs, even some cigarette ashes on the floor.
That Eliza sure knows how to tidy a place up Lynn thought to herself heading to the bedroom.

"Gerard?" She repeated. "Are you there?" She said walking in to see nobody was there.

So nobody's home and I better get out of here before Eliza comes back Lynn finally concluded placing the papers on the living room's coffee table.

On her way out, she heard noise inside... Lynn frowned at first, thinking she just checked the whole suite to find nobody there.

As she got to the door, she heard a sound again, it was more like a groan.

"Shit, the bathroom." She exclaimed as she remembered she still had the bathroom to check, rushing her way back in.

Heading to the bathroom, Lynn stood a couple of feet away from its door.
It was half open and from where she was standing, she couldn't see anyone in there.
The lights were on which made her suspect someone's presence.

She then slowly stepped closer to the door to take a better look before she decided to go in.
Those little red drops, forming on the bathroom tiles made her heart skip a beat as she unconsciously yet violently pushed the door wide open.

"Gerard! NO! Let go!" She screamed trying to take away what was in his hands.

He was there, with small cuts on his hand.

"Aw! Give it to me Gerard!" Lynn yelled as she was fighting him over that sharp, pointed object.

"I thought I told you to leave me alone! Go!" Gerard said as she finally succeeded to take the knife away from him.
"Show me!" She said loudly kneeling next to him, pulling his hands towards her to see how serious it looked.

Tears started rolling down her eyes as she looked at his bloody hand. She could still feel how soft his skin is as she was holding his hand after he gave in to her.

"Why did you do this? Something is obviously wrong again!" She concluded looking at him sadly.
Gerard didn't reply, and she was so worried about him that she reached a first aid box from under the sink to open it and try to stop the bleeding.

"Don't hate me, Lynn. You need to leave now," Gerard struggled to say feeling severly hurt as she was trying to clean up his cuts to finally cover them.

"I'm so sorry Gerard, I didn't mean what I said before, I don't hate you," she looked up at him.

Gerard then lifted his injured hand wiping off her tears. He was about to add something but the sound of the front door being ragely opened interrupted.
Lynn's eyes got wide open, "Oh my god, Eliza's back."

"No," Gerard said. "Those are her people," he added in pain.

"Her people?" Lynn repeated feeling her heart beat faster by thesecond. "That explains why she left the front door open," she then mumbled.

Even though she felt paralyzed, her fear of Eliza's 'people' got her to rush to the bathroom door and lock it to then lean on it breathing heavily from anxiety.

"She found out about the letter," Gerard said in discomfort.

"How?" Lynn asked in a really low tone.

"And she read it," he added.

But the letter was in the back of my drawer, it was hidden, how did Eliza get to it? Lynn started wondering.
She didn't add a word after that, not even tried to move as she heard them walking in the suite, slamming the doors open moving from one room to another.
She hoped they would miss the bathroom and think no one is home, just as she almost did earlier, to eventually leave.

A couple of minutes later, silence roamed the place. Lynn could hear her own breath, she finally started breathing normally, they had left.
Or at least that was what she thought, until she heard their footsteps getting closer and closer their way.
They know we're here, she thought to herself getting so scared that she moved away from the door and rushed her way to sit next to Gerard.
He put his arms around her and whispered, "shhh, don't worry, I'd kill myself to protect you."
