Warped

Madi POV

                I still kept thinking back to Lynn and seeing her on the bridge. I looked back up at the sleeping Lynn. I will not let her leave my grasp anytime soon, I saw her head relax back onto the edge of the couch and she fell into complete tranquility. Her right leg twitched a little after I laid my hand down on her kneecap. I quietly sat up and kissed her temple. I wonder if she will quit Warped Tour. She seems like a person who enjoys touring and playing live but if this happens again we might not find her. She needs to get some type of help. Anything honestly. Fuckin Alexa, her cheating ass did this.

I sat upright laying my arm behind Lynn's head and stroked her hair slightly. Her hair was damp from the old rain water that soaked her earlier. My frown stayed stained onto my face, I hope Lynn makes the right decision. I whipped out my phone and went to snapchat, turning on my inner camera and flash on I propped myself closer to Lynn and took a little photo. I saved the photo and deleted it from snapchat so no one else saw it. It would just be a little memory I'd have to myself.

Lynn began falling onto her side and landed on me. Her warmth devoured me in seconds. I slowly laid her down on her side and pulled her into a hug for her to sleep in. We both laid on the couch together in each other's warmth. She nudged her face closer into the crook of my neck and I could hear her almost whispered snores. Her breathing was calm and steady which caused my nerves to loosen. I tried to stay awake to keep an eye on Lynn and ended up sneaking my arms around her torso, holding her tighter.

There was a light feathery feeling in my ribcage. It didn't feel like before, not of fear, or sadness. This one felt more odd. They both felt the same but caused a different emotion. The one that caused me fear made me shiver all over but I didn't hate it. I normally welcomed it but this, this was new. It felt abnormal and it made me uncomfortable. I felt that way every time I looked at Lynn. Every time I held her close or she did the same with me. Every time she even spoke to me. Being within the range of her intoxicating scent made my insides squirm.

My eyelids drooped slowly as the darkness in front of me blurred slightly and the sunlight blurred as well. Diminishing all light. We closed the window and such to make it dark to sleep. I placed my chin on Lynn's head covering her. Like as if shielding her from something. When my eyes closed I felt the cold small sting of them holding together.

"Madi." Lynn looked over at me. She was sitting at the table from the bus and had playing cards in front of her. They were unusual looking cards. The king had a gun instead of a sword. I sat down in the chair looking at the cards then back to Lynn. Something was off about her. I didn't get the feeling near this Lynn, she seemed lifeless almost with a gleam of something in her eye. I couldn't figure out the right word for it.

She placed four cards in front of me. It was a king with a revolver, a queen with a noose, a joker with a bottle with three x's on it and a type of princess with a hook. When I looked back up at Lynn to ask what these were she cut me off. "Can you help me get a bath?" Her voice was husky, trying to sound seductive but there was still something off about her emotions. Like there was no real lust. I looked her in the eyes and noticed the rimming of the whites of her eyes had a thin black.

She grabbed my hand and opened the tour bus exit door but instead of the outside I saw a long wooden hallway. It looked old and untouched. She turned still holding my wrist and stopped into a room almost exactly like the hallway. There were long rows of white bathtubs with grime in some of them. Lynn turned and started water in a bathtub but she let it keep going down the drain. She went to walk over to me but I noticed her eyes. Her skin. She was paler than anything I'd ever seen. Her eyes were completely black. Lifeless almost. I realized what the little emotion was that lurked behind those black eyes.

Pain, regret, anger. All in one bundle but seeing her mood change all of that changed to one thing. Pure evil. This wasn't Lynn, this never could be nor ever will be Lynn. I went to step back from this imposter but she went to run in for the attack. I don't know how but I slipped under the demon things arm and hold onto it's back keeping it from touching me.

Not long after it turned back to Lynn. Her skin tanned a bit and her eyes changed back. The air though seemed thin, frozen. Stolen. Lynn was crying and kept saying sorry. Saying regretful things but by the way it looked it wasn't for me. Not for anyone. She kept insulting herself leaving me dumbstruck unable to move. I felt water on my face but didn't feel tears.

I sat up feeling Lynn's eyes on me. She was wiping my face with the sleeve of her shirt. I felt my face and figured out I was crying but in real life. I gasped for more air to fill my lungs, feeling dizzy and half asleep not knowing what to do. Lynn was holding me whispering things. She stared at me for a moment until she relaxed her grip and took a longer look at me.

"Are you okay Madi?"

I scanned her face and skin and took in one more deep breath to feel the air.

"Just a bad dream." I sounded scared a bit. The whites of her eyes were white. Not anywhere near black unlike the black circles around her eyes. Her skin still a light tan and the air still there. Warm.

"Why did you keep saying to stop saying sorry?" Her eyes were full of concern.

I could tell her about the dream later. Not now. Not now when it was so fresh. Too new for me to say. I don't know why it scared me as much as it did.

"Can we talk about it later?" My eyes were pleading with her to not push and she didn't. She just held me. Geez we hold each other alot. I'm not really complaining though.

Waking up much later in Lynn's arms was a pretty good way to wake up. After everyone woke up they all sat down one by one at the table until it was just Lynn and I to sit down. Lynn knew what was coming and she had her answer.

I sat next to Ruby and looked at Lynn. Anxiously awaiting her answer.

"So Lynn did you come up with your decision?" Brian asked a little nervously. I don't blame him.

Lynn nodded and propped her arms up onto the table exhaling a large breath. She closed her eyes and reopened them. She was obviously stalling to not say what she wanted but she had to.

"I thought about it and I think that I should stay here and quit Warped Tour for now. You guys are right and my actions are showing I'm not fit to travel right now. I'll admit myself into an institution tomorrow to get help."

Lynn sounded sad. Sounded disappointed in herself. Everyones eyes widened at Lynn's statement until Alex started up.

"No ,no ,and no. You are not going to an institution. You're not crazy Lynn. We just think you should relax. All this touring stress, the people, you-know-who. (Referring to Alexa) is getting to you and you need to just calm down."

"Where would I stay? I'm not moving in with Alexa and you and Brian have girlfriends and stuff. I don't want to intrude."

I thought about it for a moment and realized something. Slamming my hand onto the table a little getting their attention.

"You can live with me! I live alone and Ruby hates it!" I exclaim causing a loud groan from Ruby.

"I hate it because what if someone breaks in or you get lonely and I'm out of town." Ruby and I laughed a little and looked back at everyone.

"Maybe Lynn could." Alex stated.
