Yay! Reviews! I updated and like 20 minutes later I already had 3 reviews! You guys rock! And, since two of the three said there should be an age skip… they got it!
Michael is barely 16 and Lynn is 15 with only a few months to go. Also, I wouldn't know if shock therapy hurts or not, so bear with me, I've never had it, I don't know!
Also, if any of you have any ideas, please share! Also, check out my PotC fic and review it, if you do, I'll do something special with Behind Blank Stares (I promise!)
And please review this as well, reviews are my best friend
Time again flew insanely fast, Michael just turned sixteen a few weeks ago, I'll be sixteen in March, about three months from now. Michael had changed a lot from the boy that took me to the dance so long ago, he was still the sweet boy Andromeda and I have always known, but his appearance changed entirely. Now, Michael's dirty blonde hair was a nice chestnut brown, he was several inches taller than my short five foot-five, I'd say he was about six-two, he teases me about being short. His face was now distinctly chiseled and extremely good-looking, and he was also lean and muscular. The only things that hadn't changed were that he, as well as myself, gave the blank, emotionless stare to everyone of the outside world, and the fact that we loved one another uncontrollably.
I myself have changed a lot as well, I grew taller (although not by much,) and more developed, I was thinner, and that was about it. Dr. Loomis has started giving up on Michael, finally understanding that he will never reach him, I wish I could say the same for myself…
Aaron hasn't bothered me once for three whole years. I think it was because when he tried to pull something funny (again) Andromeda got hold of him and told him to stay away from me or he'd get Michael and take him down (which isn't very hard, he's a wimp.)
As for Andromeda, he's changed the least, he now has a steady girlfriend though, her name is Kari, and she was the one Andromeda took to the dance. At first Michael and I had our doubts about her, but in reality, she's actually really nice. I think it's a good thing that I have someone to talk girl-to-girl with, now we are great friends. (Isn't it ironic how outside a mental institution, I had no friends and my life sucked. Meanwhile, inside a mental institution, I have friends, a sexy boyfriend, and my life doesn't suck as much?)
After a very long therapy session, which I completely ignored (as usual), Michael and I walked hand-in-hand down the corridor before entering Michael's room.
It was snowing, ever since that day so many years back when we were only six, Michael and I watch every long snow. I went to grab the chair in the back of the room after Michael sat on the bed, but a hand around my wrist told me otherwise. I spun around to see Michael holding my wrist, a cocky grin painted upon his handsome face. "You know we can't and won't stand for any of that," he said, picking me up and placing me in his lap, nuzzling his face into my hair.
We sat in out comfortable silence for a very long time, eventually, It grew dark, Michael was dozing off beside me. I reluctantly freed myself from his arms. I pulled the blanket to cover him and turned to leave when I heard the bedsprings squeak. "Lynn?" he whispered, calling out to me.
"Yeah?" I asked, looking over to my exhausted boyfriend. He lifted his head a little with another cocky grin, what was with that?
"I forgot to mention, you're my hostage for tonight," he smirked.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I asked, confused. He rolled his eyes.
"It means, you cannot leave this room or I will do something drastic," he murmured, a dramatic emphasis on the drastic part . This time, I was the one to roll eyes.
"Then where am I going to sleep?" I pointed out, I heard the creak of the springs protesting as Michael moved over, patting the space next to him, his cocky grin widening.
"C'mon, I thought you'd trust me enough to know I wouldn't do anything unless you wanted me to. Or, if you'd prefer the floor…" he ended frowning in defeat, I didn't want to give in that easily, but the look he had was too cute for me to resist. Defeated, I climbed into the bed, snuggling as close to him as possible as he pulled the blanket over us before placing and arm around my waist. It wasn't long until I drifted into unconsciousness.

Michael's POV!! A/N: yeah, it's Michael's turn to talk!
I woke up quite early, slightly confused at the dark locks in which my face was buried in until I remembered my 'hostage.' Lynn was pulled as close to me as possible, when I finally realized that the shape of her small figure fit to mine , like two pieces of a puzzle, we fit perfectly together. Suddenly, Lynn turned over, her face facing mine. That moment was perfect, just to lie there and look at her--and angel, something a lowly creature like me didn't deserve by far, but my own selfishness made me come to claim her.
Lynn had changed much over the past five years. I believe that she is more beautiful now more than ever, and to me she was the most amazing thing alive even back then, Whenever I see her, I know the reason for my existence, to love and protect her and to make her happy.
She began to stir, when her deep hazel eyes looked over at me, I seized her lips, when I finally pulled away, she smiled sweetly.
"well good morning to you too." she smiled again. Then, we laid there for most of the day, talking and sharing sweet nothings between one another. When I finally went in for another kiss, Andromeda barged in my door, but he was easily ignored.
"Hey Mi…Okay you guys, ew! Why'd I have to walk in on you two doing it?" Lynn's jaw dropped,
"That is just wrong! Andromeda! You're such a perv," she complained sitting up. "why'd you come in here anyway," she asked skeptically.
"Well, it's noon and I usually see you guys before then at least, but hey, if you guys would rather suck face that talk to one of your best friends, I completely understand!" he said. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You know, maybe we were just about to make things…interesting before you barged in, but oh no a guy can't get lucky without saying 'hi' to you first can he? God, why'd you ruin the moment!" I said dramatically, just to make Andromeda squirm, and to make Lynn a little feisty. To my surprise she played along…
"Yeah, God, Andromeda! Way to ruin the moment, We don't bug you when you and Kari are groping each other, so don't judge! at least you didn't walk in on anything. Hey, I want some so bad, that I don't care who's in the room! Come here Mikey!" she said flirtatiously, I followed instantly, Andromeda's eyes about popped out of his head, he thought we were serious, he turned to leave. "By the way hi, there I said hi, now bye bye!" she said, poking her tongue through her lips and waving. Andromeda apologized before leaving. As soon as the door closed I burst out laughing.
"What?" she asked innocently.
"You were great!" I replied, gasping for air.
"I know," she grinned.
"You know, it's not nice to lie, so shall we turn that untrue statement into a true one?" I asked playfully. Lynn rolled her eyes, slapping me on the shoulder. She rose up off the bed when another person was outside the door.
"Ah! I had a feeling you'd be in here. Come along Lynn," said Dr. Loomis Lynn gave a small, helpless wave as she was dragged off by the old coot. About an hour later, I left for dinner, knowing she'd be there.
As I sat at our table, as usual. Now it seemed to be a little more crowded. First it was me and Lynn, then that freak Aaron (who I am plotting against), then, when he left e replaced him with Andromeda, and now we have Kari makes you wonder who is next. Andromeda still looked a little unnerved like I was going to punch his face in because he ruined my chance to 'get some'. Ah, still fun to torture, I dared a glance at Lynn, she nodded indicating she had the same thought.
I gave an angry glance to him before grasping Lynn, then I was thoroughly and passionately kissing her on the lips as she did the same, her hands reached toward the bottom of my shirt before Andromeda yelled "Stop!"
"What?" I asked not-so-innocently. "You deprived us of our moment, and we want it now!" I said. Kari began to laugh as well.
"You're so gullible Andromeda! It was easy to tell that they were going to do that! The freaked out look on your face was way too good to pass up!" she said.
"With those two, you never know," he replied. Just then, the good mood was destroyed as someone familiar approached the table, Aaron flashed a disgusting grin toward Kari.
"Hey babe," he started, Andromeda started growling at him, like I always do.
"Aaron, give up Kari doesn't like ugly freaks, sorry," I said icily.
"Oh, almost didn't se you there Lynn. You've gotten feistier--just the way I like my women, and you're also better eye candy," he said flirtatiously, sitting on her other side. I felt my anger rolling off of me, Lynn is MINE!
"Back off loser!" Lynn said with acid in her voice, gripping my hand under the table.
"You say one thing, but you think another, I know you want me," he replied. Then, Aaron lunged, attacking her lips, Lynn desperately trying to get him off. I desperately tried to punch him, but then he knew that I would, he had some friends, big friends, they held me back, despite my strength, and brought me to my knees. They forced me to watch as Aaron tried to deepen the kiss, getting off the bench and turning so that she was pinned against the table, his hand went for her top, as soon as he started up the bottom of it, I broke free.
I attacked Aaron full-force, fists flying in every direction, I then put him in a headlock as Lynn came at him with a metal bar that came off the bottom of the table (how she'd pulled that free I don't know.) I heard a satisfying crack! as she swung it at his ribs. By then, the retarded doctors realized what was going on, they broke up our fight, by this point, Aaron was on the ground, I was basically standing there, and Lynn was holding a metal bar thing…so guess whose story the doctors believed…

A/N: Lynn's POV (this is the last POV switch of the chapter I swear!)
After seeing that pathetic moron Aaron, nearly being raped by him, and getting into a fight, nothing could go wrong for me right? WRONG. This time, instead of just getting a long therapy session, they gave me something new. Shock therapy. That is supposed to calm you? It hurts! Afterward, I went straight to my room, Michael coming in right after me.
"What happened?" he asked, noticing my mood.
"Shock therapy," I replied, not really in the mood for talking, my day had really sucked.
"I'm sorry," Michael said, pulling me into his lap, he does that quite often now since he is now a head taller than me, He jokes and says my head is his chin rest. "I should have protected you more, instead I let that…thing….get his hands on you.
"It's okay, you were held back, I don't think he'll bother me this time, unless he wants to die," I said. Michael kissed me goodnight before starting to leave, I grabbed his arm.
"Oh no you don't! tonight you are my hostage." Michael whipped around in surprise before literally pulling me to the small bed. In that whole process, the cocky grin never left his face.
