Lillian laughed, "Miranda might, but Rachel's after me. Your just a means of entertainment to her."
Lillian laughed, "Miranda might, but Rachel's after me. Your just a means of entertainment to her."
"That makes me feel better," Ginger whispered.
"If twenty's your max than we obey the max," Leo looked around and grabbed some dumbbell, "Use these instead."
“Fine. Not gonna build any muscle with that but. Fine.”
Lillian smiled, "Did it really?"
Leo nodded and sat down on the floor, "You'll get some eventually. Are you working out to get muscle back Darren?"
Ginger looked up quickly. She didn't realize that she said that out loud. Her eyes flickered.
“That was the plan. You didn’t know me before but I was the buff quarterback. Now I’m this,”
Lillian sighed, "Oh sorry it didn't."
Leo laughed and fell on his back, "Really? Your ashamed of that bod? Guys would kill to look like that!"
“it’s just not me though. Not what I’m used to and not what your sisters used to either,”
Leo looked to him and sat up, "That's what you think? Darren, the girls lived most of her life starved, beaten, and whored. As long as you care for her, she won't care about your appearance. Hell that's probably the last thing she cares about."
"I don't know… I'm just not the guy she fell in love with,"
"How long have you two been together?" Leo asked him.
"I don't know, 5 or 6 months? Feels like forever though,"
Leo looked to him with a smile, "If she's stuck with you this long, she isn't going to just stop loving you now."
"Even if I change? The episodes… I lash out at her, I know I do," He looked away.
Leo sighed he growled slightly under his breath at the thought of his Lillian getting hurt, "I don't know. B-But I don't trust her to make these decisions. She doesn't know what's good and what's bad. A-And," He let out a long sigh, "I'm scared for her."
Lillian sighed, "Oh sorry it didn't."
Ginger shook her head. She breathed shakily.
Lillian held her closer, "I'm so sorry. You're not entertainment to me. Not to others. Rachel is, well she's Rachel."
"I'm scared for her too. I wouldn't hurt her, that's what I say but I don't have control during the episodes,"
Leo let out a shaky breath, "I know. I know."
"It'll be better after the surgery right?" If you don't die…
Ginger believed Lillian on the surface, but in the depths of her heart, she knew that it wasn't true.
Leo nodded, "Right. I will be there."
Lillian started to hum a tune. Something light, up beat, with just a hint of melancholy.
"And I will try hard not to die," he sighed.
Leo looked up at him, "You won't. I know you won't."
"Okay Leo… You're a doctor. You know the risks. This is my second surgery, it's more than likely that I'll either die or go into a coma and don't tell Lillian but I signed the advanced directive papers,"
Leo nodded following along though he was slightly angry, "Okay. So why the hell can't I tell Lillian? You do realize she'll find out if…."
"I told her I wouldn't but I did… She'll find out if they extubate me, but, I can't expect her to wait for me. She has a life that she shouldn't stop for me,"
Leo stood up and looked at him scowling, "You do realize if you do die her heart will break. I've never seen her like this with someone other than me. She's actually being herself and your just saying it doesn't fucking matter."
"Leo that's not what I'm saying. I'm doing this for her and besides you said it yourself, I'll be fine," He didn't believe that.
