Don't Say You Love Me – M2M
Frankie paled at the word that ran through her brain, repeating over and over again.
Love?
Bianca said she loved her. She knew the younger girl had feelings. That she wanted to be with her. It was obvious to anyone with eyes. Even a blind person could feel the vibes the brunette was emitting. But love?
No, it couldn't be. Not really. Frankie couldn't help but balk at the concept. How could she say she loved her? Bianca didn't even know her, not truly. Sure, they had talked some, but nothing too substantial. She didn't know all of Frankie's past. She didn't know why Frankie was really on the road the night Erica ran her over with her car. She didn't know who Frankie was forced to talk to, the plan she was a part of.
But love? Really? Anyone who knew Frankie felt the exact opposite. Her parents, Vanessa, everyone. No one loved her. Now, this beautiful girl was laying it out there, all on the line. No. It was too soon. And Bianca said she was ok if Frankie didn't say it back. How was she supposed to? She didn't know how to love. She didn't know what love was. The way Bianca looked at her, touched her…hell, even her smile made Frankie's insides turn to jelly and her legs itch to run.
What was she supposed to do? She needed time. Man, she needed more time. Not now, not with everything so up in the air.
"Don't say you love me. You don't even know me." Frankie mumbled.
