Lenny had offered to drive Linda back to her house so that she could get some clothes and her belonging so she could stay at his overnight. She packed clothes, toothbrush, hairbrush, and her makeup and straightners. She wouldn't go anywhere without them. She took care with her looks.

She enjoyed being at her house or someone elses. She had no memories there with her sister, so it didn't play with her emotions. However, thinking about her sister still gave her the urge to cry. She fought back, knowing that she had her parents back, which would help to stop the tears.

She walked into the kitchen where Lenny had helped himself to a packet of crisps which Linda had allowed.
"Nice?" Linda asked, seeing his mouth stuffed full.
"Yeah." He said, putting his hand over his mouth to stop him spitting everywhere.
"Great." Linda laughed, and slung her bag over her shoulder. "We ready?"
"Sure." Lenny said, hopping off the stool he was sitting on and followed Linda to the door.
"Thanks for doing this." Linda said, as she sat in the passenger seat.
"Its no problem at all." Lenny said.
"I just don't think I could even think what it would be like if I was on my own." Linda sighed.
"But your not, so don't think about it." He said, moving his hand from the gear box to her knee. He noticed her flinch again.
"Sorry." Linda said, seeing him look at her. "I can't help it."
"I know." Lenny said. "It will stop." He added, seeing her worried face.
"But what if it doesn't?" She asked. "What if I am forever paranoid?"
"You won't be." Lenny said. "I will help you through it."
"Thank you." She whispered, as they pulled up infront of his house. It was now nine thirty.

Linda watched Lenny open the door and she followed him in, putting her bag at the foot of the stairs.
"I know we only got together today," Lenny said. "But would you prefer to sleep in my room or your own?"
"To be honest, probably yours." She smiled. "But I think if I slept on my own, I wouldn't be waking you up with nightmares."
"Then you are sleeping with me." Lenny said. "I don't care about the nightmares. I will wake you up from them."
"Lenny, I don't want to interrupt your sleep..." Linda said.
"I don't care if you do." Lenny shook his head. "It will be better for me knowing that you will be okay, and better for you knowing I will be there to wake you."
"Okay." She said shyly.
"Its up there, second door on the right." Lenny said.
"Okay." Linda said, taking off her shoes and took her bag upstairs. She walked in, and gasped at the size of the bed. Lenny had a king sized bed, all to himself. She gasped again as she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Lenny asked.
"Yeah, I didn't even hear you come up the stairs!" Linda said, getting her breath back. "Your bed is huge!"
"I love my comfort." Lenny smiled, and took Lindas bag from her and put it at the bottom of the bed.
"Would you mind if I had a shower?" Linda asked Lenny.
"No, its fine." Lenny said. "Its the room next to this one."
"Okay, thanks." She said, and picked up her bag again and walked into the bathroom. It was rather large. It had a lot of space and was relatively tidy, completely the opposite to his personality. The shower was also large, as was the huge mirror on the side of the wall, right above the sink. Not even a fingerprint could be seen on it.

She had her shower, making it fast so she didn't cost Lenny a lot of money. She towel-dried her hair, and wiped off the remains of her make up. She looked at her face to inspect it after all her make up was removed, and she saw her sister in it. She shook her head as the tears began to form. No. She wasn't going to cry again. She had cried enough today.

She picked up her wet towel that she borrowed and hung it up on the towel rack. She was glad that the mirror had now steamed over from the shower, so she couldn't see her face, or her sisters. She picked up everything she had bought in, stuffed it all in her bag, and left the room.
"That was fast." Lenny said as Linda walked into the kitchen. He looked at her and saw her ghostly white face.
"You alright? You're quite pale."
"Im fine." Linda said, before leaning on the work top. Before she knew it, she was shaking, and a drink of water was placed infront of her. She felt a hand on her forehead, which felt frozen to her.
"I think its time we went to bed..." Lenny said, concerned.
"Im fine." Linda said. "Well, will be in a minute. Sorry." Linda replied.
"Are you sure? I just think you could lie down." He saw her still pale face scrunched in pain as she felt pain in her head. It soon subsided. He watched as she picked up the glass of water, nearly spilling it with her shaking hands, and she drank almost half. He saw that she shaking had stopped, and she stood up straighter. He put his arm around her to give her something to lean on. "Better?"
"A lot." She nodded. Why did she keep nearly fainting on him? She didn't like it. She thought it was embarrassing. She yawned.
"I think it is time we went to bed." Lenny repeated.
"Okay." Linda said, and she was happy to sleep. The quicker she got to sleep, the quicker a new day would come.

She was wearing her pyjamas already as she put them on once she got out the shower, so all she needed to do was brush her teeth. She began, leaving the door open, and Lenny joined her. They brushed their teeth together.

When they were both done, they walked into the bedroom.
"Um, what side do you sleep on?" She asked,not knowing where to go.
"I normally just sleep in the middle, so pick any side."
"You sure?" She asked.
"Yep." Lenny said, and watched her take the side nearest the window. Lenny got in the other side and turned to face her. He saw that she looked worried.
"Whats wrong?" He asked, putting his arm around her.
"I just don't want the nightmares." She said. "Or to wake you."
"You heard what I said before." Lenny smiled to give reassurance. "I will always be here. Day or night." He saw Linda smile. He loved it when she smiled. "I need to see that smile on your face even more. Its beautiful."
"Thank you." Linda blushed. "But its really not."
"It is." Lenny said, and leaned in and kissed her.
"I like yours." Linda said as they pulled apart. "Its like a cheeky grin. It makes me smile when I see it."
"It does?" He smiled, and she smiled again.
"Yeah." She chuckled, as did Lenny.
"I love you Andrews." He said to her, and edged closer.
"I love you too Lyons." She replied, and they kissed again.
"I think its time we went to sleep." Lenny suggested, moving his arm away from Linda. Linda didn't want him to let go. He reached over to the lamp and turned it off, leaving them in darkness. Linda was happy when his arm returned around her waist, which made her drift off to sleep quickly.

A few hours later, both were asleep, but Linda started to get nightmares.

"Give me the drugs!" Denise shouted to Linda.
"No! You will get sick!"
"I will get sick without them!" Denise raised her voice even further. "Give them to me!"
"No. You gave them to me." Linda said.
"No, I gave them to you to look after!"
"You still gave them to me!" Linda shouted back.
"Give me them now, you brat." Denise spat. "You know what I can do."
"What?" Linda challenged.
"You know I told everyone that you had the drugs. They believed me." This hit Linda like a brick wall.
"You wouldn't dare do anything like that again." Linda got angry.
"Try me!" Denise said, smirking. "Maybe I will tell them that you self harm!" Denise grabbed hold of her arm and made her cry in pain.
"No." Linda said, trying to pull away but stopped due to the pain. "Please don't."
"Give me the drugs then!"
"No."
"I will tell everyone at school." Denise taunted. "Just like before."
"Why would you do that?" Linda asked. "Im your sister!"
"I don't care. I need the drugs, and you won't give them to me. I will do anything to get them." Denise said. "And I mean anything."

Linda figited in her sleep, making Lenny stir slightly.

"Just give me them." Denise said, grabbing Linda's arm again. Linda screamed in pain. "Look, you bled on me!"
"That was your own fault!" Linda shouted.
"You did it!" Denise shouted, letting go and wiping her hand on Linda's white shirt.
"Fine." Linda said, walking over to her wardrobe and pulled them out and threw them at Denise. "You druggie. You want to kill yourself? Fine. Don't let me stop you. Im not hiding them for you anymore."
"Oh yes you are." Denise nodded, walking back towards Linda, so their noses were just a few inches away. "And if you don't, you'll be paying for it at school." All Linda could do was stare into her sisters eyes, and she could feel how much she wanted the drugs.

Linda was whimpering in her sleep, and Lenny slowly came back to his senses as he heard her.

"What have you done with my sister?" Linda whispered, as Denise walked out. "We might be related by blood, but I will never class you as my sister."

"Linda, wake up." Lenny said, shaking her awake. "Linda, its alright, you are safe."

Linda's eyes shot open, and Linda was hyperventilating. Lenny helped her sit up as she realised where she was. He handed her the glass of water on the side, and helped her take hold of it as she was shaking again. He put his arms around her and held her close as realisation set in. The tears soon came after.
"Oh it was a dream!" She cried into his shoulder.
"I know." He whispered as he held her.
"It was so real." She whispered back, and sobbed into his pyjama shirt.
"But it wasn't." Lenny said. "You are fine here."
"I know." She whispered, still half asleep.
"Lay down." Lenny said, thinking she would go back to sleep. "I will be here until you fall asleep."
"Okay." She whispered, shut her eyes and held the duvet to her chin. Soon, her breathing became slow and even, and Lenny turned off the lamp again and layed down next to her. He checked his alarm clock and it was one thirty in the morning. Five more hours and they would have to be up for work.

He found it hard to get back to sleep though. It took him a while, but he soon managed. He was still worried about Linda. He wanted to give her all of his dreams and he would take hers. If only it were possible.
