I flattened out my blouse and looked at myself in the mirror above the sink, double-checking my makeup once again. I can't believe I'm doing this. I sighed and headed out of the bathroom and into the hallway that led to the main lounge area. Mikey sat on the couch next to Frank as they played a video game, while I stood awkwardly near the kitchenette.
Mikey looked up at me and smiled. "And where do you think you're going all dolled up?"
I blushed, fiddling nervously with the hem of my shirt. "On a date."
Frank's head snapped in my direction the second those words left my mouth. I bit my lip as I stared back at him. His facial expression said it all. He looked hurt, sad, angry and everything else in between. I couldn't help but feel a ping of guilt in my heart as I bit my lip subconsciously, not knowing what else to do but sit down on the couch next to Mikey without another word.
"Who with?" Mikey asked, his eyes were just as wide as Frank's, but curiosity was written all over his face.
"Gerard," I said, glancing at Frank who almost choked on his own spit.
"Seriously?!"
Both Mikey and I turned to look at Frank. The sad, hurt look was gone and only anger was left. I glanced away a second later not wanting to talk about what was about to happen anymore. The silence in the room was deafening as I stared at the floor awkwardly, Frank staring at me and Mikey glancing between us no knowing how to react. Not long after Gerard stepped onto the bus, a big smile on his face. I think he was too excited to notice the tension in the room and instead he looked to me.
"Ready?"
I looked up at him and nodded quickly. "Yeah."
We headed off the bus, but not before I took one last look back at Frank to see him leaving and going back into the bunk area. I sighed and turned back around to face the ground.
"Don't worry, Lenny," Gerard put his arm around me protectively. "This will be fun, I promise."
I nodded and smile up at him, hoping he was right.
