Good Boy

Thinking was a dangerous thing. But then again, so was not thinking. Thinking was all I ever did at work. As I scrubbed down the table I began to think even further just what Frank and I were doing. I was technically cheating on Lindsey..... with my dog. Oh god, when I said it like that it made me sound so weird. I guess I was weird..... but that was beside the point. I was still cheating. I knew it was wrong, and I hate to say the clique line but...... how could something that feel so right, be so wrong? My break was in half an hour and I couldn't wait to check my phone. I was still worried about Lindsey. I needed to know if she was in trouble, or hurt or mad at me. I just needed to know. As time went on, I got more worried.

Eventually, break came and I rushed to he back room, checking my phone. I saw that (as I expected) there was nothing from Lindsey. There was a missed call from my mother but that could wait. I dialed Lindsey's number and chewed on my lip nervously. It rang........ 1.......2........."Hello?"I heard Lindsey's voice and I almost shrieked with excitement.

"LINDSEY" I shouted into the phone. One of the other employees that was ink there looked at me curiously, then went beck to reading a magazine on his own break. I gave an apologetic look then turned away, focusing fully on the phone."Where have you been?" I emphasized.

"I'm sorry Gerard, I can't explain why I left. I just need to know, why do you have those books?" She said. What did she mean she couldn't tell me why she left? I sighed and leaned against the wall.

"Just....... reading about something new?" I lied. Wow that sucked.

"Bullshit" she uttered. I sighed, I knew I had to tell her.

"Look, come over tomorrow morning and ill explain everything"

"Gerard, what's going on?" she said sternly.

"I cant- I can't talk now" I hushed. "I have to get back to work. Are you coming over tomorrow?"

"Yes" she sighed. "Bye gee"

"Bye" I hung u and slumped against the wall. Something seamed so off, I just couldn't tell what it was coming from. I couldn't calm this terrible feeling in my stomach. It had been happening all night. Every time I thought of Lindsey, my stomach jerked. Before, I thought it was simply because I was worried about her but now that I knew she was fine, I knew it was something else. I had never cheated on anyone before. Nobody had really cheated on me... that I knew if at least. Knowing that Lindsey loved me, and I simply turned my head away and kissed another man was killing me inside. But then again, whenever I thought of Frank my heart fluttered. I thought back on the day I had spent with him and I smiled at the memory. Then, I remembered the situation I was in and huffed in frustration. I stood back up and made my way out of the break room. The other guy that had still been in there shot me a confused look. I wanted to hiss at him. Instead, I made my way back to work, dreading on what to do.

When I got home Frank was laying on the couch sleeping. He was in dog form now. I picked his light body up and carried him to the bedroom. When we got there, I sat him down on the bed. I stripped down to just my boxers and climbed in the bed with him. He snuggled into my side and I let my worry drift off with me into deep sleep.


I glanced around the dark room and panicked.
"BRANDON?!" I called out. The voice seamed to eco through the room and fade into the walls. I looked around frantically looking for something, I didn't know what though.
"Why don't you love me Gerard?" I heard a woman voice come from behind me and I spinner around. I came face first with Lindsey, whose eyes were completely white. I searched for an iris or any color of any sort, but they stayed a glowing white.
"Why don't you love me Gerard?" she repeated.
"I do!" I shouted back my voice echoing again.
"No!" she soured in my face. "No! No! NO! NO! NO!" she continued to shout. I turned around and continued with my search from before. I found a gray door and I realized that that was what I had been looking for. I flung it open, hoping to run from Lindsey's screams. When I took a step out of the room I entered a hallway. Lindsey's screams stopped and I turned around again, expecting to see her. Instead I was met with a large dog. He was pitch black, just like Frank, but he was a lot scarier. The dog began to bark and growl at me. His teeth showed as drool oozed from his mouth. The dog began to strut forward toward me. I tried to run but I couldn't move. I was stuck. The dog leaped forward, Teeth about to clash into my face-


"Gerard?" My eyes opened as I gasped for a breath I felt like I had been holding for too long. I was met with Frank still next to me, but he was still sleeping. He was human now and his black locks curled around his face. I looked around to see who had said my name. I looked over to see Lindsey standing in the doorway, looking hurt.
