"I can guarantee that's not going to happen. There are two conditions, you can't sue her and no interviews with the press."
"I should have known this was just a way of covering her ass, she's afraid I'll sue the skirt off of her!"
"Kind of, but it's better than being by yourself when you can hardly walk."
"I guess," said Frankie skeptically.
"Number one, no stealing," said Erica as they walked into the living room.
Frankie rolled her eyes. "Yes, Ms. Kane."
"Number two you have to be in your room buy 10pm, I don't want you wandering all over the house at all hours of the night."
"Yes, Ms. Kane."
"No drugs, no smoking, no alcohol, no friends, or boyfriends, no loud music and if I catch you breaking any one of these rules you're out."
"Yes, Ms. Kane," replied Frankie
"Here, I'll help you up to the guest bedroom," said Bianca letting Frankie put her arm around Bianca's shoulder so she could get up the stairs.
"Thanks for getting me away from her," said Frankie when Erica was out of earshot.
"You're welcome, but she's really not that bad once you get use to her. Well, here's your room," said Bianca opening the bedroom door that was right down the hall from hers.
Frankie peeked in, "You have got to be kidding, look at this place. I get a stereo, a TV, a phone, a bed. You guys are more loaded than I thought."
"Yeah, well my mom worked hard to get where she is today."
"She runs her own cosmetics company right?"
"Yeah, Enchantment. I'll bring dinner up in a little while, do you need anything?"
"No, I'm fine, thanks Bianca-la."
Bianca left and Frankie layed back in her bed. She was definitly having second thoughts about this now, Bianca was so nice to her… 'No Frankie, you have to do this,' she said mentally. She grabbed the remote controller and tried to put all of the bad stuff out of her mind.
Bianca walked down the stairs. This was so great, now she actually had someone she could talk to, really talk to.
After dinner was made Bianca made two plates and took them upstairs. She lightly knocked on the door and pushed it open. "I brought you dinner if--" she stopped when she saw Frankie laying there a sleep. She sat the plates down on the nights stand and then took the blanket from the end of the bed and pulled it over Frankie.
"Goodnight," whispered Bianca.
A couple hours later Bianca was getting ready for bed when there was a knock at her door.
"Come in." answered Bianca sitting down on her bed.
Frankie wobbled in trying to look as healthy as possible but Bianca could see she was in pain.
"Here," said Bianca helping her to sit on the bed. "Do you want something for the pain?"
"No, I'm fine, I found my dinner and I wanted to just tell you thanks, for everything I mean, you've been a real friend."
"Well, I need all of the friends I can get."
"This kinda reminds me of a sleep over, it's been, God, ages since I stayed over at someone's house, granted I hadn't been hit by a car before hand," she said laughing.
"So where did you grow up?"
All of the humor seemed to drain from Frankie's face. "Here and there, you know."
"I see."
"Yeah, so what about you Bianca-la, have you lived here in this house your whole life?"
"No, I used to live with my dad, but he passed away a few years ago."
"Sorry."
"Yeah, I still miss him all of the time but I know he's happy and looking out for me."
"Do you mind if I hang in here for awhile, my room is so big it's kinda freaking me out."
"Sure, go ahead, I don't mind."
"Do you have any good movies?"
"Sure, what kind?"
"Thriller."
"Well, I have' I Know What You Did Last Summer' the first and second one, the Scream trilogy, Texas Chainsaw Masacre, What Lies Beneath, The In Crowd, Urban Legend and Urban Legend the Final Cut."
"Urban Legend the Final cut."
"Good choice," said Bianca putting it into the VCR.
She then hesitantly turned off the light, the dark, a scary movie, a bed and a girl she found to be absolutely attractive was in her mind not a good combination.
She sat down on the bed but as far away from Frankie as she could get without falling off.
By the end of the movie unconsciously they ended up sitting side by side in the middle of the bed.
"That was awesome," said Frankie as the movie started to rewind.
"Yeah," Bianca looked at the clock. "It's twelve-thirty you better get back to your room. Here, I'll help," said Bianca putting her arm around Frankie and helping her up off of the bed. She then supported her as she hobbled to the guest room.
"Here, I'll do that," said Bianca pulling down the blankets so Frankie could get under them.
"Okay," said Frankie but before getting into bed she reached for her backpack, she pulled out a large shirt while removing the one she had on. Bianca looked at her with a mixture of shock and surprise and Frankie discarded her shirt and slipped the bigger one on. She then unbuttoned her blue jeans and Bianca turned away as she took them off and awkwardly got into the bed. "Good night Bianca."
"Good night, Frankie," said Bianca trying to speak past the lump in her throat. "I'll see you tomorrow," she said turning off the light on her way out.
Bianca layed down in her bed and closed her eyes. She could still smell the scent of Frankie's strawberry scented shampoo and she sighed into her pillow. "I can not let this happen again, I just can't," whispered Bianca before she fell asleep.
"Leo, I love you so much," whispered Laura as they lay together, the sheets tangled and the blankets on the floor.
"Ditto," said Leo as he kissed her on the forehead.
Laura smiled contentedly. 'He loves me' she thought snuggling up to him.
"Are you sure about that?" asked a voice, Laura looked around, there was no one there.
