I Need You

Chapter 3

A/N: Hello again my people. how ya been? So third chapter time. Who knows what's next for Cece and Flynn? Will Cece get the spotlight dance? Will Rocky find a way to tell Gary Wilde about Flynn and Cece? Is Flynn going to get his happy ending? These questions and more will be answered. Read to find out. For now, Good day from me. :)

Flynn's POV:

As Cece helped me (or rather carried me) out of the room and through the long halls of the hospital, I again reflected on the events of the last few days, and even the last month. Playing those images over and over through my head. I remember the last thing I thought of was Cece. But I get it now. We can't be together. Maybe it's for the best.. And hey, it's like Cece said

"I'll always love you like a brother" Cece's words raced through his head

All things considered, I still had her as a sister. And I think we may even be closer now than we ever were which is a bit weird since I expected her to hate me after what just happened. But now it's just us. So why do I feel like there is still something missing?

"Hey Cece have you heard from Rocky"

"No, not since you guys talked a few days ago. Why"

"Nothing I was just wondering. After that talk and her helping me open up to you, I feel that much closer to her so I feel like I owe it to her to keep tabs on her whereabouts...you know like if she's okay?"

"Wow Flynn, that doesn't sound stalker-ish"

"Hey you can't blame a guy for trying"

Cece and I both burst into fits of laughter. Once it had died down I said to her:

"I don't remember the last time I actually laughed. This is the best I've felt in ages. Thanks Cece"

"No problem Flynn. That's what I'm here for! It's just you and me now! #Againsttheworld"

"Hashtag? Cece this isn't Twitter! This is the real world you know?"

I again burst into laughter. I was able to feel so much tension leaving me at that minute. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

"Heyyy" Cece said, feigning offence.

As we neared the reception desk, Cece seemed to slow down for a minute. However she sped up again after the receptionist called out to her

"It's okay Cece, you can go. I have already spoken with Doctor Johnson. I just need you to sign your name for me here"

After Cece and I left the hospital, when I breathed in the fresh air, I realized how much I really could have missed. I really had no idea how much I would have left behind. I also realized how much I had missed the outside. Being cooped up inside for a month had really taken a lot out of me. Now the photophobia was killing me.

I got off of Cece and began to walk myself, being renewed with courage. Cece and I walked the entire way home, but the walk took a lot more our of me than I expected and by the time we got back to our apartment I collapsed onto the couch.

"FLYNN!" Cece exclaimed

"I'm fine Cece, just tired"
