"Elle?" Lia's voice rang out as she pushed the door open.

"Jesus Christ Lia!" I yell throwing the bubble bath bottle at her. "You scared the crap out of me." I yell. She looks at me and Gerard in the tub and shrugs. 'Fuck' I heard Gerard say under his breath as she walked in.

"What are you guys doing?" She asks hopping up and sitting on the counter.

"What does it look like were doing?" Gerard hisses at her.

"Be nice." I whisper to him although I couldn't blame him... I mean Lia did interrupt us before he could finish... I leant back against him and he wrapped his arms around my breasts covering the tattoo. I pulled my knees up slightly and sunk down as low as I could into the tub.

"Did you fucking flood the bathroom again Elle?" Lia laughs looking around at all the water on the floor.

"Again?" Gerard says groaning little.

"Yes." I say hanging my head forward. Lia laughs. "Hey! It was an accident!" I cry out splashing her with some water.

"It always is with you!" Lia laughs. Gerard starts kissing my neck softly and I giggle... Lia makes a face at us.

"Oh don't mind me...just keep doing what you were doing...." She says sarcastically pulling out a cigarette.

"If you don't like it you can leave." Gerard mumbles with his face in my neck. I don't think she heard him.

"How the hell did you get in anyway!" I say loudly to her... she was obviously not going to leave.

"Uh with the key?"Lia says plainly as she lights her cigarette. I raise my eyebrows at her.

"What key?" I ask.

"I made a copy of your key Elle the other day." She laughs. I can hear Gerard sigh. "You know the one I fished out of the tree for you.. do you want a cigarette?." She adds. I shake my head no as she puts them back into her bag.

"No." I say pulling Gerard's arms around me tighter.

"So." She says shaking her head at me.

"So what exactly do you want Lia?" I ask her. "I mean we're kinda in the middle of something here."

"I was talking to Gerard!" She says lighting her cigarette up.

"What do you want Lia?" He says roughly to her.

"So what did she tell you happened with Paul?" She asks him pointing to me.

"Lia I'm right here!" I say loudly.

"Yeah I know." She says sarcastically. "But I know you're not gonna tell me." She says sighing. "So lets hear it Gee." She says nodding as she takes a drag from her cigarette.

"There's nothing to say!" I yell. She rolls her eyes.

"Elle." Gerard says softly into my ear. He wanted me to tell her...No...I'm not going to do this... why can't everyone just leave me alone... I just want things to be the way they were. I shake my head no and grab his arms tighter around me. Lia is frowning now. "I guess there's nothing to say then Lia." Gerard says and I loosen my grip on him.

"Bullshit!" she says staring off into space.

"Lia please." I say shutting my eyes for a second.

"Whatever." She says rolling her eyes. "I tell you everything!" she says waving her hand around. "And this is what I get back a big mind your fucking business Lia!" She whines.

"Ha!" I yell. "You didn't tell me about Bob!" I laugh.

"That was different!" She pouts.

"Whatever." I say stretching my legs back out in the tub. Gerard slides down into the water a little more pulling me down with him. I blow at the bubbles floating on top of the water.

"No cause you would've freaked if I told you about that!" Lia says hopping back down off the counter and fixing her hair in the mirror.

"I would not have!" I say sitting up slightly. Gerard pulled me back towards him. I think he was uncomfortable Lia was here or something.

"You would've taken Rays side." She sighed turning back and looking at me in the tub.

"His side of what?" I ask confused.

"Aw come on!" She laughed. "I knew Ray put Bob up to it!" She said opening the medicine cabinet and pulling out the aspirin bottle and shaking it a little.

"You did?" Gerard asked her surprised.

"Its just aspirin Lia." I say and she makes a face and puts it back.

"Oh it was so obvious Gee!" Lia laughed. I hated to hear her call him Gee... "I mean one day Rays all like we need a break Li and the next day Bobs all over me." She said putting her cigarette out in the sink.

"Don't fucking do that!" I yell.

"You sound like my mom!" She says making a face and running some water cleaning the sink. She tosses the butt into the trash and looked back at me.

"So what you're with Bob now?" I asked her sighing.

"I don't know." She shrugged and came and sat on the edge of the tub. "The last time I talked to him we argued about Ray." She said sadly.

"Oh my poor Lia."I said as she absentmindedly reached her hand in the tub and splashed some water on her arm.

"ooh the waters still hot." She said. I reached over and held her hand. She smiled a little at me.

"So what did you last say to Bob?" I asked her squeezing her hand slightly. It was obvious she liked him and I wanted to help her...

"Can you guys talk about this later?" Gerard said. I looked over my shoulder at him. He looked uncomfortable that Lia was so close.

"Oh I'm sorry babe." I say smiling a little at him. "I think were making Gerard uncomfortable Li." I laugh." Maybe we can talk later." I say dropping her hand.

"Why later?" she asks.

"Cause" I say nodding towards Gerard. She rolls her eyes at him as he kisses my neck again.

"Whatever." She says annoyed and gets up. "So do you guys wanna do something tonight?" she says picking up her bag. "I mean maybe we can talk later Elle... just me and you...Alone." She says frowning at Gerard.

"Uh we have plans already." I say weakly.

"We?" She says raising her eyebrows at me.

"Uh yeah 'we 'are going to the movies with Frankie." Gerard says to her squeezing me tighter.

"The three of you?" She smirks.

"No uh Frankie's going with Chrissy." I laugh.

"Chrissy?" Lia smirks again. "Chrissy who?" she says roughly.

"Chrissy Peterson." I say plainly. "She's in our class at school." I add.

"Oh I see." Lia says snottily.

"What's the matter Li?" I ask her. She's frowning at me. "What?" I repeat.

"Its just..." Lia sighs. "Well it's just that ever since your papa died and you got with 'him'" she says motioning towards Gerard "you've been different to me Elle." She said glaring down at me.

"What?" I say incredulously.

"No I mean it." She says shaking her head at me. She was angry now. "You've totally shut me out Elle...and for what?" she yells. "for him?!" She said reaching for the door. "Cause he was there and I wasn't!" she yells.

"What the hell are you talking about Lia?!" I yell back at her sitting up a little. Gerard didn't take his hands off me. She lets go of the doorknob and turns back to us. She just shook her head at me.

"I'm sorry I wasn't at your papas funeral Elle." She said and she started to cry. "But I don't deserve you treating me like this!" she said sniffling a little.

"Like what?" I said looking at her wide-eyed. What the fuck is she talking about? my papas' funeral?

"This!" She said waving her hands in the air like crazy.

"Are you high?" I ask her squinting trying to look into her eyes." Is that where this is coming from? cause you're not making any sense" I tell her.

"That's fucked up that you would think that Elle!" she says sniffling again reaching for the door.

"Lia what the hell is up with you then?!" I say loudly as she opens the bathroom door to leave.

"Nothing is up Elle!" She says wiping the tears in her eyes. I just looked her not sure of what to say..."You just... just go with him Elle... go with Gerard and Chrissy and go have fun and you can tell Chrissy all your little secrets and what happened with Paul since it so fucking obvious that she is your new best friend now" She spat as she walked out. "And you all can go and have a fucking merry old time and just forget about me...I'll leave your key here too okay so you don't have to worry Ill come back and interrupt you guy's fun again!" She says as she stomped down the hall.

"Wait Lia" I call out as I jumped out of the tub and grabbed a towel from the rack and wrapped it around me. I was half way down the hall when I heard the front door slam. I picked up the key Lia threw on the floor and walked back towards the bathroom. Gerard had a towel wrapped around his waist now as he came out the bathroom door.
"What the hell was that all about?" I ask him.

"I think Lia's jealous." He said taking the key from my hand.

"Of Chrissy?" I laugh. "She doesn't even know Chrissy!" I say walking back towards my room.

"No not Chrissy..." Gerard said softly. I turned to him and wrinkled my eyebrows. "You don't get it Elle." He started to say as someone knocked on the door. My eyes lit up.

"It's got to be Lia coming back to apologize!" I gasped and ran down the hallway.

It wasn't... It was Frankie... He was a little pissed that we weren't ready yet either...I got dressed quickly while Frankie waited in the living room... I didn't want to go... I was kinda bummed about fighting with Lia and I wasn't sure if I could deal with little miss sunshine now...I was pulling out the altoids tin from my purse when Gerard appeared in the doorway frowning.

"Well do you want me to be nice or what?" I say waving it in the air at him. He smiled a little as I popped one in my mouth. He took the tin from me and poked through it picking one out for himself. As we walked through the door I rubbed my hand against his zipper.

"Sorry about before." I whispered kissing his ear slightly.

"Elle." he said grabbing my hand and pulling it away." You're making it worse." He laughed a little unsteadily.

"Well we could always tell Frankie we can't go and finish our bath." I whisper in his ear.

"Oh you'd like that huh?" He laughs grabbing my arm and dragging me down the hall. "We're going to the movies Elle!" he says taking my coat down from the hook. Frankie jumped up off the couch.

"Finally!" He exclaims opening the door.

I just sigh. "Do we have to." I whine.

"Yes." Gerard says buttoning my coat up as I pouted.

"Why?" I whine as he grabs the scarf off the rack and tries to put it on me. "I don't want a scarf." I say pushing his hand away.

"Its fucking cold out Elle... you need it." He says wrapping it around my neck anyways. "And what's the big deal about me wanting to take my girl out on a date." He smiles and kisses me softly. I just smiled at him.

"A date?" I laugh. He nods. "Gerard this is not 1956!" I tell him. "And I think we past the whole dating part a while ago anyway..." I said laughing.

"When?" He said as we walked out.

"I call shotgun!" Frankie yells and jumps in the front seat. God this is gonna be a long night!

"Well?" Gerard asks as I toss him the keys.

"Uh when we had sex on my couch." I say as we got into the car. I couldn't drive my head was spinning now from the upper I just took.

"Eww you guys had sex on the couch!" Frankie cries out. "The couch where I was just sitting!" He yells.

"Jeez chill out Frankie!" I laugh. "Not on the new couch we didn't!" I laughed.

"Well not yet!" Gerard laughed looking at me in the rear view mirror. I smiled back at him. Frankie opened his mouth and was going to say something but he looked over at me and changed his mind.

"Do we have to go pick up Chrissy?" I moaned stretching out on the back seat.

"Uh no we're meeting her there." Frankie said.

"Oh good" I said lying down on the seat now. I shut my eyes and fell asleep as we drove I guess... It wasn't even that far to the theater I don't know how I fell asleep...but I must have cause the next thing I know Gerard is calling my name and when I opened my eyes and sat up and we were there...

"Look there's Chrissy." Gerard said pointing across the lot at the front door. Frankie called out her name and went running across the lot towards her. I got out of the car and stretched a little. I was going to ask Gerard what we were going to see but I really didn't care. Gerard walked us over to Frankie and Chrissy. I smiled politely at her and said hi.
"Uh lets go buy the tickets Gee." Frankie said to Gerard. Chrissy was staring at Frankie like he was some sort of a god.

"Oh good then we can run to the bathroom together Elle!" Chrissy says cheerfully taking my arm. I look over frowning at Gerard as she's pulling me away. He just smiled at me and mouthed 'you promised.'

I promised!!!

Fuck...someone just kill me now...I thought as Chrissy dragged me into the ladies room.
