Franky's POV
"I love you", I whispered quietly.
"I know you do." she said looking at me intently.
"Yeah you do." I said lying to myself because she didn't know the truth.
"I love you too." she said glancing down at her interlocked hands resting in her lap.
"I know." I said grinning at her.
"So what's this all about?" she asked.
"I don't know." I said not making eye contact. I had to get out of here. This was a mistake. She must have noticed the look on my face.
"Hey what's wrong?" she asked scooting closer to me.
"Nothing. I'm just really tired." I said. I could tell she didn't buy it. I looked at everything but her eyes.
"Don't lie to me.", she said softly. She lifted my chin and looked me in the eyes. "How do you see with this hair in your face all the time?", she asked smiling as she brushed my bangs to the side. I felt that lurch in my stomach that I got whenever she touched me. Her hand traced the outline of my jaw lingering longer then it probably should have.
"So are you going to tell me what's a matter?", she asked bringing her hands back to her lap.
"It's nothing." I said trying to shrug her off.
"I don't believe that for a second." she said. I couldn't help but let the tears fall. Everything had just been so stressful. I didn't know how to deal with any of this. And my feelings for her weren't helping.
"Aww, honey it's okay." she said. She brought her hands up to my face and wiped away the mascara running down my cheeks. I never used to wear makeup but when I got to Bristol I thought why not give it a try.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. I didn't know why I was apologizing, but it just felt right at the moment.
"You have nothing to be sorry for." she said. I didn't know what to say so I didn't reply. "Do you want to go to my place? It's kind of cold out here and I thought you might not want to be alone tonight." she said carefully as to not overstep her ground.
"Yeah that would be great. Thanks." I said as we stood up from the bench. She interlocked her arm in mine as we walked in comfortable silence to her house.
"Hey come here!" Mini called from her bathroom. We had just arrived at her house and I was sitting in her kitchen drinking coffee.
"Okay." I said walking over to her bathroom. I walked in and she was standing by the sink with a washcloth in her hand. She grabbed my hand and pulled me close to her. Then she gently wiped away my smeared mascara with the washcloth.
"You okay?" she asked stepping back and examining her work.
"I think so." I said. I truly did feel better. She was always the one person I could trust. Just being around her made me feel better. She then pulled me into a gentle hug.
"Want to go meet the others? Or we could just hang here tonight. Whatever fits your preference." she said as we walked out of the bathroom back to the kitchen. My phone beeped and I pulled it out of my pocket.
"I guess this is our answer." I said handing her my phone. It was from Grace "Where are you? Meet us at the club. We're having fun tonight"
"I guess we better get going before Grace has a fit." she said laughing. I silently prayed that Matty wouldn't be there. I couldn't take any more of his head games.
So umm...thoughts or reviews that'd be cool.
