Cool Kids

The time passed faster as usual and Lynn was busy practicing for the US Opens with Benji. Sometimes the guys got her to go out with them and sometimes she brought Benji.
They got along with him well, except Gerard.
He was jealous even if he didn't want to admit it.
He was convinced that Benji had to be Lynn's boyfriend. They seemed happy together and it was simply impossible that they could project such strong feelings into their choreography without feeling them for each other.
Gerard couldn't help it but he started to hate her and showed it without hesitation.
Lynn was confused at first but had no time to think about it.
Merely at night when she had breakdowns, when she sat on the kitchen floor with an empty bottle of gin crying and feeling to much weight on her shoulders, then she thought about him and why he hated her.

Finally the day has come. She never had felt that anxious and excited in her whole life.
She felt like throwing up.
"We're here and that's great Darling. I am so proud already no matter if we make it good or not" Benji squeezed her hand and smiled. "Alright" she took a deep breath. "Let's do it"

It simply couldn't have been better for Benji and Lynn. Their hard work payed off and they made the third place.
"We have to celebrate!" Mikey jumped up and down.
So they went to the next bar and got totally wasted.
Except Benji he offered to drive everyone home.
Gerard was quiet the whole time. He didn't drink as much as Lynn and he was surprised to see her drink that much. He had never thought that such a tiny girl could drink that much.
"Woah, Lynn you should stop now." Gerard took her glass and downed it in a train.
"Could I get a Water for her please?"
"Why yudo that?" She pouted.
"I don't want you to end up in hospital and it seems like no ones caring except me. Not even your boyfriend over there."
Lynn giggled. "Benji your ma boyfriend now" She grinned at him and he blowed her a kiss.
"Ray I think we all should go now."
But Ray was already asleep and Benji had to help carrying Ray into the car.
"Could you stay over at Lynn's ?" Benji asked Gerard.
He couldn't believe what he heard. "Huh?" was all he managed to say.
"I trust you and you're the one who's the least drunk. I don't want her to hurt herself."
Benji smiled.
"Yeah I guess I can do that" Gerard whispered more to himself.

Lynn groaned. She felt the regret and the hangover. She blinked and the sun shined in her face. She had forgotten to close the curtains.
Oh well she had forgotten almost everything from last night. She wondered why she was naked under the blanket, usually she would just fall asleep in her clothes.
She stretched and felt another body under her fingertips. Her eyes grew wide.
Oh god, please make I am still dreaming.
Carfully to not wake up the stranger she turned around and lifted the blanket.
There he was at total ease sleeping like a stone.
Gerard Way.
"Fuck" Lynn hissed and got out of bed dressing up in some clothes that still layed on the ground and sneaking into the kitchen.

Did they have sex? If no why did she woke up naked and if yes did they use protection? Why was he here when he hated her and what if she was pregnant now? She felt panick and her breathing got faster. "Okay calm down. Go make some tea."

She was almost calm again as she heard footsteps and a yawn.
"Goodmorning" Gerard said and leaned at the doorframe. "You're wearing my shirt"
Lynn looked down and blushed. "Did we..?" Gerard sighed and sat down.
"Yes. And I am willing to forget it as soon as I am leaving your apartment and for that I need my shirt back."
Lynn felt the tears in her eyes and couldn't help it but started crying.
"Hey, hey" Gerard tried to calm her down. "I won't tell Benji don't worry."
Lynn looked up in confusion. "Why should it bother him?" she asked. Now Gerard was confused. "He's your boyfriend?" Her face dropped
"My what?! No! He's Gay!" Gerard's mouth formed an O but no sound escaped.
"But why are you crying?" He asked.
"I just thought that you, you know.. hate me"
He nodded. "I do" he looked away. "And that's why I want to go now."
Lynn nodded and got up to change.
She tried not to breakdown in her bedroom and promised herself to never loose control again and to never look at Gerard again.
He took advantage of her and she would never forgive him.
