A New Life (Roger Daltrey)

Chapter 15

Thanks to paulmccartneyandme  for giving me an idea for this chapter and the ones to follow! This one's dedicated to you :) Also sorry for the long wait. I got away from this story, again.

**Flashback**

Luca sat on top of Lena. He'd finally gotten her in his hold. They'd been messing around, running round their living space. It all started when the two were cooking breakfast and Luca accidentally spilled some flour on Lena. She then spilled some flour on him "accidentally", and then a full on flour war broke out between the two. An indecent amount of eggs were flung left and right. Lena noted to go out to the store to get some more.

Lena looked up at the messy looking Luca. His hair was getting longer. It was starting to resemble Rod Stewart's a little bit. Lena ran her hand through it, when she took her hand out of his hair, it was covered in egg yolk.

They both laughed. Luca leaned down to kiss her. She held his head in her hands, as they kissed and kissed and kissed. Luca broke away, giving them both some fresh air.

"I love you Lena Davies. I always will no matter what."

"No matter what?"

"No matter what."

**Present Day**

Lena woke up in a hospital bed, connected to various machines. She had no idea as to how she ended up there. All she remembered was Luca being angry with her for hanging out with Roger. She thought of Roger and why he wasn't there with her. Then she realized that it'd probably be a good thing that he wasn't there, because if Luca arrived to the sight of them together, he'd be even angrier.

"Flight 279 to Los Angeles has begun boarding, I repeat Flight 279 to Los Angeles has begun boarding."
Roger looked up from his magazine upon hearing that his flight was boarding. He quickly stuffed it into his bag and got in line to board. He gave the lady his ticket and got onto his plane. Roger felt bad for leaving Lena at the hospital without going to check up on her, but he felt that it was the only thing he could do, to avoid more conflict between him and Luca.

He got to his seat and put his bag away in the luggage compartment above, then sat down and let out a big sigh.

Peering out his window as the plane took off, he thought about being with Lena later on in life, but not too much later on. He thought of them moving in together, having a kid or two, becoming inseparable again. He knew deep down that it was sure to happen again soon. Just not this time around.

"Congratulations, Luca. You have successfully completed your term here. You're ready to go back out to the world once more, and start a new, clean life. We wish you all the best."
Luca shook the hand of the director of the rehab facility gratefully. He thanked him, then went on his way back home.

In the taxi, he remembered that Lena was in the hospital. He had the cabbie change directions and head for the hospital.

He walked in, suitcase in hand and went up to the receptionist's desk. The three ladies that were behind the desk were all sitting, huddled engaging in the latest gossip.

"Did you hear about Lena Davies?" The young, troublesome nurse, Stephanie, asked. She was new there and had already caused a few rifts between some doctors and their wives.
