"So, do you wanna go home yet?" Lexy smiled, pulling Tess into a tight hug.

"No...not yet" Tess replied, burying her head in Lexy's shoulder and gripping her tightly. "Not until everyone's gone."

"Everyone has gone." Lexy explained.

"Oh...so, how did it end?" Tess asked, not pulling back from the hug.

"I'm not sure...there was a lot of shouting and when I went in to get you, Cat and Sam were leaving." Lexy replied.

"Together?" Tess sounded concerned, pulling back from the hug, but keeping her hands on Lexy.

"I think so."

"Shit, Frankie's gonna be-" Tess began before Lexy cut her off.

"No." Lexy stated. "Don't worry about Frankie, Frankie doesn't matter right now, you matter right now."

Tess smiled before sighing "I can't completely forget about her, she's my best friend and she's going through a lot."

"Just find some ground inbetween where you're happy then." Lexy warned.

"Can we at least go back and see how she is?" Tess asked.

"Yes, but, part of the compromise is that after, we're having a talk." Lexy teased.

"Okay" Tess giggled.


Frankie's head was spinning, she couldn't even feel anything, she didn't know if she was hurt, angry, relieved or any other emotion.

Reality became a blur and she slumped against the wall and slid down to the floor.

It took her a moment to realise that it was the pain that was blinding her, Cat had truly made her choice.

It wasn't her, and now, it would never be her again and Cat just expected everything to be fine, that they could always be friends.

That wasn't the way it worked.

She stared blankly at the wall until Sadie brought her back down from her dream-like state with a crash.

"Frankie?" she asked, quietly.

Frankie saw no need to reply to Sadie and continued staring, realising the pain had got worse and tried to will herself back into the floating state she had previously been in.

Sadie crouched down next to Frankie. "Are you okay?" she asked, not knowing what to say or do.

Frankie didn't reply to that either, still trying to push herself back into the state where she felt nothing and it didn't hurt as much as this.

"Maybe I should leave..." Sadie began to leave but Frankie's arm shot out and grabbed her wrist tightly.

"Stay." Frankie said simply, her voice choking up.

"Okay, do you wanna talk?" Sadie found herself short of words, not knowing what to say to comfort Frankie.

Frankie shook her head and Sadie breathed a silent sigh of relief. "Just, stay." Frankie said again, not releasing her grip on Sadie as she sat down opposite her.

"It'll be okay..." Sadie said in a vague attempt to make things better.

"No." Frankie replied, biting her lip. "She's gone Sadie."

"I know it seems like it now, but it's not the end of the world, trust me, I know how it feels to see the one you think you'll never get over leave. It's a gut-wrenching feeling that never seems to go away, but, you learn to live with it and soon, just having them in your life, even if it's just as a friend is something you'll never take forgranted again." Sadie replied, trying not to let Frankie know that she was the one responsible for making Sadie feel like this.

"Who made you feel like that Sadie?" Frankie asked, finally lifting her head to face her.

Sadie laughed inside her, she should've known Frankie would ask.

"Just someone from a long time ago."

"Who Sadie?" Frankie asked again. "No one should have to feel like this."

"No one you know...anymore" Sadie whispered.

Frankie saw an opportunity to leave the subject of Cat. "What was she like?" she asked.

Sadie sighed "She was...fun and happy, but strong. She wouldn't dare let anyone see her cry, which made it all the more heartbreaking when she did. She was a little messed up, but that was part of the crazy, she was unpredictable and...so beautiful, but one day she just left."

"She'll come back." Frankie comforted.

"I don't think she will" Sadie smiled. "She's...gone."


Tess and Lexy arrived home to find Frankie's door wide open.

"I'm gonna go and see how she is." Tess explained.

"Okay, just...don't forget yourself." Lexy urged.

Tess nodded and walked into Frankie's room, finding Frankie huddled in a corner with Sadie sitting opposite her, talking.

"Is everything okay?" Tess asked, prompting Frankie and Sadie to turn round, Frankie had been crying but she expected that, however, it looked like Sadie had been crying too.

"Yeah, we've been talking" Sadie smiled weakly.

"I can see that, what about?" Tess sounded concerned as she sat down in the corner with them.

"Someone I used to know." Sadie looked at Tess, who immediately got the hint that Frankie had failed to pick up.

"She was great." Tess smirked.

"Guys, I think I'm gonna go to bed." Frankie spoke up, her voice hoarse.

"Frankie, wait." Tess stopped her.

"I need a drink" Sadie stood up and left the room, realising Tess would want to speak to Frankie.

"Frankie, I'm sorry." Tess began, glancing as Sadie left the room.

"It's okay." Frankie replied "You had every right to be mad."

"No, I didn't" Tess carried on. "Okay, so you're selfish, and you're violent and moody and lazy an-"

Frankie held up her hand laughing "I get the point."

"Sorry" Tess giggled. "Anyway, those things are what make you, you're not normal Frankie and I know you don't show it, but you hurt easily." Tess placed her hand on Frankie's arm.

Frankie dropped her gaze, not saying anything.

"And I wouldn't want to hurt you Frankie. You're my best friend and I honestly wouldn't change you for the world" Tess smiled, tilting her head to look at Frankie.

"You're too forgiving Tess." Frankie smirked.

"Only for you Frankie." Tess smiled.

Frankie leaned up and placed an arm around Tess, pulling her close. "I don't know what I'd be without you." she laughed.

Tess laughed back "So, what happened?"

Frankie dropped her smile and sighed "I kicked Cat and Sam out. Cat was only going to reject me again and I couldn't break down in front of Sam, I won't give any of them the satisfaction."

"So, Sadie helped you?" Tess asked.

"Yeah, she was talking about the old me, I got that. I need to get that me back." Frankie sighed again.

"Are you sure?" Tess laughed.

"Yeah, I owe it to Sadie really, she's been great to me." Frankie smirked.

Sadie walked back into the room, as if on cue.

"I think Lexy wants you" she smirked, bringing in a cup of coffee for herself and Frankie.

Tess smiled to herself. "I know...I mean, okay yeah I'll go and talk to her." she recovered for herself and stood up, leaving the room.

"I take it they're going well then?" Frankie laughed.

"It would seem so." Sadie replied, sitting down.


Tess walked into the living room, to see Lexy laying on the sofa, watching television.

"You're done?" she asked, turning to face Tess.

Tess nodded, still standing in the doorway.

"Come here then." Lexy laughed, sitting up and pulling her feet on the sofa.

Tess smiled and sat opposite Lexy on the sofa.

"So" Tess laughed.

"Talk to me Tess." Lexy smiled.

"I really like you Lexy. Like really like you." Tess began, almostly instantly regretting saying it, she knew Lexy had kissed her, but what if it was only to comfort her, her palms began to grow clammy and she panicked.

Lexy noticed Tess tense up and placed a hand on her leg. "Calm down Tess." she smiled.

"I have feelings for you too Tess, but I'm scared." Lexy began, leaving her hand on Tess's leg. "I've always seen myself as the stable one in a relationship, I've looked after the other person and fixed them. They all just left me anyway, which makes me wonder, would being the stable one always work out and-"

Tess cut her off "Trust me, I'm not stable, I mean I swear I'm just all over the place and-" Tess cut herself off. "I'm just sounding desperate and crazy now aren't I?"

Lexy smiled and leaned forward, kissing Tess on the forehead. "I don't want to hurt you if things don't work out Tess."

"I know you wouldn't purposely hurt me." Tess urged. "I just, I don't know why, but I want this." she dropped her gaze.

"You want me that much?" Lexy asked, trying not to look suprised.

"Yes" Tess laughed.

Lexy leaned forward and kissed Tess, pulling back quickly.

"Okay" Lexy sighed, smiling. "So...we'll give this a try?"

"If you want" Tess laughed.

Tess suddenly notcied Sadie lurking in the doorway.

"Shit, did you hear that?!" Tess shot a look at Sadie.

Sadie nodded and Frankie appeared behind her.

"It seems like the old Frankie and Sadie are back then" Tess laughed.

Lexy turned round quickly, "Oh fuck, did they hear us?" she asked.

Tess nodded and laughed.

Frankie and Sadie walked over to sit on the floor and watch television when the door went.

"I'll get it" Tess stood up.

"I'll come with you" Lexy got up too and walked behind Tess.

Tess pulled open the door and stood infront of her was Cat, soaking wet from the rain and tears.

"I need to see Frankie."

Sorry I just love dramatic endings:3
