Hey guys! This is a short chapter again. Hope you like it. Review please. ^_^
Frankie woke up in her room. Only a dim light from her desk was on. Looking out the window she saw it was night time. 'How did I get here? What happened?' she couldn't remember anything. Getting up she went to her mirror. Frankie was shocked to see her face. 'What!?' Her left eye was almost swollen shut and her face was bruised. She touched her face and jerked when a shooting pain shot through her face. She looked with her good eye at a new scar with stitches on her right cheek. Overwhelmed Frankie backed away from the mirror till her back was against the wall. Sliding down as she started to cry bolts sparking. 'What did I do? Why can't I remember anything?' She got up and ran out of her room. Running into her parent's room slamming the doors. Not caring what time it was she yelled waking her parents up.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO ME?!" Crying out of anger now her blots sparking more.
Her parents sprang out of bed started by their daughter.
"Frankie… you're awake." Frankenstein said half asleep.
"YES I'M AWAKE! NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME TODAY?!"
"Frankie sweet heart please calm down. There is no need to shout. Came her and sit down we need to talk to you." Her mother said in a calming voice patting the bed beside her.
"NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! HOW CAN I BE CALM? I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER COMING HOME TODAY! NOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!?" Frankie was truly mad at this point. Had stopped crying but was still sparking.
"NOW YOUNG LADY YOU WILL NOT USE THAT TONE WHEN TALKING TO YOUR MOTHER." Frankenstein yelled back at his daughter pulling her to the bed and forcing her to sit down. Frankie was shocked that her father yelled at her. He had never yelled at her. He had always been so nice to her and never got mad at her. Frankie sat in between her parents so confused. 'Why are they surprised with me being awake?' Frankie just looked at her hands waiting for one of them to explain what happened.
"Frankie…" her mother said in a shaky voice grabbing her hand. "You have been asleep for two… almost three days."
"THREE DAYS!?" Frankie yelled in a scared confused voice.
"Yes baby, three days" Frankenstein said putting his arm around her. "You had got into a fight at school."
Suddenly something clicked Frankie remembered Manny holding her before she blacked out. "I was… in a fight?" she said felling her face. That explains her face and why it hurt so bad.
"Yes with the captain of the Fearleading team, what was her name?"
"Cleo…" Frankie said felling flush and light headed as she remembered what had happened. I remember now." Laying back on the bed she covered her face.
"What started the fight?" her mother asked hoping it wasn't Frankie's fault.
"She said I was nothing. I got mad and called her a bitch."
Her mother gasped "Frankie! Why would you call someone that? Do you even know what that means?"
"No"
"It's a word you should never use." Frankenstein said slightly angered
"I heard other kids calling her that. I didn't know what it meant. I didn't know it was bad."
"Frankie, you shouldn't repeat what you hear."
"I'm sorry. Does Headmistress Bloodgood know?"
"Yes, your punishment will be determined on Monday." Her father said rubbing his forehead, as if trying to get rid of a headache.
"Oh…" Frankie sighed
"What is the last thing you remember?" her mother asked stroking her hair. Frankie sat up rubbing her new scar.
"Um… I remember seeing Manny, I think he was holding me. He looked so scared and concerned. Did he bring me home?"
"Yes he did." They both said
"Is he okay? I need to text him." Frankie stood up getting ready to walk out the door.
"No need. He's down stairs sleeping on the couch." Her mother said with a slight smile.
"What?" Frankie ran out the door, down the stairs, through the hall and into the living room. Stopping in front of the couch she stared at a sleeping Manny. He was cute laying there cuddling with the blankets, his hair a mess, and his slow deep breathes. Frankie couldn't believe that he was here.
"He's been here since he brought you home. He wanted to make sure you where okay." Her mother whispered making Frankie jump a little. Frankie sat on the ground beside Manny and played with his hair. He let out a sigh pulled the blanket and pushed his head into her hand. 'Why does he care so much about me? I'm a burden. This is the second time he has brought me home.'
Frankie couldn't think of any way to repay him. Well for now there was only one thing to do. She leaned over to Manny and kissed him on the forehead. "Thank you." She whispered laying her head down on the edge of the couch. Closing her eyes she drifted off to sleep.
