Sorry it's kind of short. Also, I didn't have time to edit so sorry.

In the night I wait for you to come and talk to me. You see you're all I can think about. How cheesy is that. It's so true though. You're always on my mind. I memorized the way your hand felt on my mind. I memorized the sound of your voice. I memorized the way you're eyes shine when you're looking at her.

- How it feels to be in love with someone you can't have. Everything is just in your mind.

Franky's POV

Luke had pulled me outside in to an alley behind the club.

He stood there with a smirk on his face.

"You know, Franky, I get you." He said moving closer to me. "I understand you more than you think I do. Sometimes you feel all wrong, don't you? You think that maybe you're so different from people that no one could ever like you ….but then you found Mini. You feel safe with her. Safe isn't always the best." Now he was inches away from me. He leaned in and pulled me into a hard kiss. I pushed him away.

"No, Luke, I'm with Mini!" I shouted at him.

"She doesn't have to know." He said grabbing me and pushing me against the wall.

"No, I'm in love with her", I said. That seemed to only encourage him because his lips were now on my neck. I tried to push him away, but he just pushed me back harder. My back hit the wall, hard. His strength was overwhelming. He started to unzip his pants. I knew I had to get away from him at this moment.

"Stop." I tried to say but was muffled as he put his hand over my mouth. He started kissing my neck again.

"Just relax." He said. His breath stank of alcohol. His words were so slurred and almost not understandable.

I felt him tug at my pants. With his free hand he tried to unbutton them. I closed my eyes bracing myself. Then I heard a scream. Luke was being pulled off of me. He hit the ground hard. Then everything went black.


I awoke in my bedroom. I sat up slowly trying to figure out what happened last night.

"It's okay, Franky, it's over now." Mini said. She was sitting in a chair on the far side of the room. I patted my bed so she would come over. She came and sat by me.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You fainted. Matty carried you back here. He's downstairs making tea with your dads. They're extremely grateful that he was around. He was the one who punched Luke." She explained to me. "It's good he showed up when he did. Who knows what would have happened then. So…umm are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so." I said in response to her question. Relief washed over her face and smiled.

"If you need anything I'm right here okay." She said pulling my hand into hers. There was a quiet knock on the door.

"Come in." Mini called. Matty walked in holding a tray with tea on it. He smiled and set it down on my desk.

"So how are you feeling?" He asked.

"Fine." I said. "Thanks….you know, for saving me."

"I wasn't going to let that bastard get away with hurting you." He said clenching his fist. "Umm is it okay if I talk with Franky alone?" He asked Mini.

"Yeah, of course. I'll go talk to Geoff." She said giving me a peck on the cheek and heading out of the room.

"So umm I don't want to be like Luke." Matty said quietly.

"You're not like Luke." I said studying him carefully.

"I just want you to know that I'm going to back off, okay." He told me. "I know that you really love Mini. She really loves you too. You guys are good for each other."

"Thank you." I said tears forming in my eyes.

"I was hoping we could be friends again." He said. Before he declared his love for me things with Matty had been different. We actually used to be very good friends. I remember that day I pointed the gun to his chest. He somehow made me calm down that day. It was the day that Mini had hung up posters of me around the school. I'm glad we're past that now. I understand why she did it. She was scared. She didn't know I was scared too.

"I would like that." I told him. He smiled. I stood up and gave him a hug. I missed his hugs. He is so gentle. Anyone would be lucky to have him. He's just not for me.

"I'll see you later." He said leaving the room.

Mini's POV

"Wait, Matty!" I called to him before opened the door to leave Franky's house.

"Yeah?" He asked letting go of the door handle.

"Thank you." I said giving him a smile.

"No problem." He said ducking his head and then leaving. He and I both knew that, that meant more than just a simple thank you. It was the beginning of a friendship.

"Here, you can take these up to her." Geoff said handing me a plate of muffins. I nodded and walked up the stairs.

She was still sitting in her bed, drinking the tea that Matty had brought up. She looked at peace. I was scared when Matty had called. He said that something had happened and that he was carrying Franky home. I ran there to hear what Luke had done. I set the muffins down beside the tea. She smiled at me.

"You know I was really scared." I said to her.

"I didn't know what was happening." She said. "I tried to get away from him. I told him before that we couldn't hang out anymore."

"I know honey." I said. "It's not your fault." I leaned in and put a soft kiss on her lips. She pulled me into deeper kiss, her tongue licked my bottom lip asking for entrance which I quickly granted. Our tongues collided with one another moving in sync with our lips. She pushed me back against the bed. Her lips traveled to my neck. I sighed as I felt her bite down gently on my skin.

"We should probably cool it. Your dads are here and all." I said. She laughed.

"You're probably right." She said. "So do you want to go out tonight?"

"Are you sure you want to, with everything that happened last night? We could just stay in; have a movie night or something." I said.

"Mini, I'm fine really." She said reassuringly. "Yeah it was scary but nothing happened. Everything is fine."

"Well I heard that Liv was throwing a party. We could go there." I suggested.

"Yeah sure, let's do that." She said.

"Okay cool. Well I have to go do some things. I can come back later and we can go together." I told her.

"Sure, sounds great." She said leaning in and giving me a kiss goodbye.


"You need to stay away from Franky." I said to Luke. I was at his apartment with Matty.

"Yeah or what?" He challenged.

"You're lucky we didn't call the police on you after last night." Matty yelled. "Why don't you just get out of here! Go back to where you came from."

"Look if you don't leave this town we'll call the cops and have you arrested." I said.

"We don't need to get the police involved." Luke said. "I'll leave I promise."

"One more thing." Matty said walking towards Luke. He punched him in the eye and knocked him down. "If you ever think about doing this to anyone ever again you better get an army to protect your ass."

With that Matty and I left Luke's apartment.


"You ready." I asked Franky who was still in her room getting ready.

"Yeah." She said waling out of her closet. She was wearing tom shoes, with gray cackys, a white button down, and a red blazer of top. She was stunning.

"You look beautiful." I said. She smiled and pulled my hand into hers. We left her house and walked over to Liv's.

"Hey guys." Liv said opening the door. It was more of a small get together than it was a party. I noticed that Nick had her arm around Liv. I guess they got together after all. I was happy for them. They're good for each other.

"So I heard what happened, Franks, some scary shit." Alo said handing her and me some beers.

"Yeah, I guess." She said with a shrug.

"I swear if that Luke guy even looks at you I will punch him out." Alo said. Franky laughed and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thanks, Alo." She said.

"Where's Grace?" I asked.

"Here I am." Grace said coming out of the kitchen. She pulled me into a tight hug.

"Let's get this party on then." Rich said smiling.

One or two chapters left. ...thoughts?
