Chapter 4
The weekend went by fast for Frank, but he was worried about Renee who hasn't
talked to him in two days.
" The last thing I wanted to do was upset her," Frank told himself.
Meanwhile Renee sat in the Elixir and sighed.
" I can't stay mad at Frank," Renee thought, " It's not his fault."
Jack Ramsey then noticed the look on her face.
" Hey," Jack said, " Are you okay?"
" Ever feel like screaming?" Renee asked.
" At certain times I do," Jack answered.
" I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs," Renee said.
" Why?" Jack asked, " What happened?"
" I want something I can't have," Renee admitted.
" What's that?" Jack asked.
" I don't want to talk about it," Renee said.
" I can't help you if you won't tell me," Jack said.
" Oh leave me alone, Jack," Renee said getting up only to look at Chris.
" Hey beautiful," Chris said.
" Get out of my way," Renee said.
" Fine by me," Chris said, " No harm done."
Renee got up and went to the door only to run into Frank.
" Frank," Renee said.
" Where have you been?" Frank asked.
" Around," Renee asked, " Isn't Karen home yet?"
" The train is running late," Frank said, " Two hours behind."
" Sorry," Renee said.
" What do you have to be sorry about?" Frank asked.
" I said things I didn't mean," Renee said, " I just don't know what to do."
Frank just pulled her out the door.
" Look," Frank said, " I never meant to hurt you."
" I know," Renee said.
" I care about you more than I ever thought I could," Frank admitted, " I wish I didn't."
" Because of Karen?" Renee asked.
" Yes," Frank answered, " You are beautiful."
" Nice to know," Renee said.
"Someday you are going to make some guy very happy," Frank said.
" Well you already make me happy," Renee said.
" Renee," Frank said, " Don't start."
" You are my best friend Frank," Renee said, " What more could a girl ask for."
" I guess not much," Frank said, " Come on I'll take you home."
" If you say so," Renee said.
Renee just walked along with Frank and smiled because she had all she could of ever wanted.
