No more characters will be accepted from this chapter, I have enough. Also, Liam isn't involved in the story, so anyone who has him as a "crush"- sorry about that.

Also, I may have to change some characters names, otherwise there will be 3 Lilly's in the story.

Finally, all of "Frankie's" songs belong to Bring Me the Horizon, and aren't mine at all.

Chapter 3

"The last of the newbies I hope, we're full." Frankie mumbled to Connor, who nodded in agreement. He hated his current room situation, Johnny was a purposeful pain in the backside, and he was trying to push Connor over his edge, but he wasn't that easy to crack. The pair weren't too bothered by the newbies, since they were moving to a boy called Frank's old room, so they were together, and none of Frankie's business.

They were all let out and Connor and Frankie decided to track the drums for Frankie's new song.

"Just go ahead, I'll be two minutes." Connor said. Frankie nodded, thinking nothing of it, and she went into her room to set up the Mac and the recording equipment. It wasn't anything professional, but it helped when they wanted anything tracked for new music.

Frankie sat for 15 minutes, confused on why Connor was taking so long. Curiosity got the better of her and she made her way to Connor and Johnny's bedroom, where Connor was panicking, flinging things onto a pile on his bed.

"Connor…" Frankie said stepping in.

"I can't find my Dad's chain." He said blankly. "I left it on my bedside cabinet last night, I'm sure of it, I looked all around for it, and it isn't anywhere. It isn't behind it, in any pockets, anything."

"Nobody's been in here to touch it though." Frankie said as Johnny entered the room, and Connor had lost his cool, and Johnny knew it. He sprinted out of the room with Connor in hot pursuit until they got to the lounge where Johnny hid behind the pool table, holding up a gold chain.

"You little rat!" Connor spat.

"Aww is Connor missing his necklace?" Johnny replied sarcastically, getting a few laughs from Tyler, Elektra, Imogen and Acid, the three girls had seemed to get quite close.

"No, but it was my Dad's." Connor said angrily.

"Then why would you want to keep it then? He was obviously a terrible parent if you've ended up here." Johnny replied coldly. Connor ran at Johnny and punched him as hard as he could in the face, sending him to the floor, unconscious. Realizing what he had done, Connor sprinted from the house and ran as far away as he could.

Frankie picked up the necklace and let it fall between his fingers as Mike rushed in to get Johnny to hospital.

"It's all Connor's fault." Tee said. "If he hadn't have hit Johnny, he wouldn't be in hospital. No matter what Johnny did, Connor had no right to do that." The majority of the house agreed with Tee. The others were too young to really understand what happened, apart from Harry's friend Lily, who seemed horrified by the entire incident, but Frankie was never good with kids.

"You're joking right?" Frankie said standing up, clutching the chain in her fist, breaking out of her usually calm attitude, shocking her housemates. "You don't know half of it. Connor might seem laid back and easy going, but he's probably had the hardest life out of everyone here. He can make mistakes."

"Yeah, well, where is he now, while my cousin is in A & E?" Mackenzie asked sounding upset. Frankie then jumped up and grabbed her phone. She had no clue where he was, and he had no money, no food, nothing. She tried ringing his phone, but it went straight to answer phone. Frankie decided to leave a message.

"Hi Connor, look, I really need to know you're alright. I'm worried about you, call me if you want to meet up, or you can come back. I haven't told anyone anything, but I really think I should, but it's up to you. Just call me back, okay? I'm worried about you."

Frankie ran her hands through her hair and sighed. Everything was happening far too quickly. She grabbed the recording stuff and got ready to track the vocals for her new song.

"Can you tell from look in our eyes?

We live our lives and we're ready to die." She began, in a more "screamo" type of vocals, unusual for a female vocalist. Throughout the song, the words scrammed in her head, this wasn't the song she'd taken over a year to write, but it was definitely a song she was proud of. It helped flood the anger from her body, it felt as if every emotion in her body was flooding out with every word that left her tongue, it felt almost therapeutic.

"This is sempiternal! Will we ever see the end?
This is sempiternal! Over and over, again and again!" She finished, smiling slightly at the fact she'd got her vocals in, but still felt lost, because of her drummer being missing. She heard faint giggles from the other side of the door and she rolled her eyes and opened the door to see a group of people collapsed on the floor, obviously enjoying the show.

"Hi Frankie." Carmen said smiling innocently.

"We like your…ermm… whatever that was." Acid said sarcastically.

"It was music. I just scream and sing, not just one."

"Whatever it is, it sounds awful." Acid sneered, and Imogen giggled. Frankie frowned.

"It's actually really good." Blake said opening his door from his bedroom. "They're your own lyrics, aren't they?" Frankie nodded, receiving glares from most of the girls, who seemed to have a crush on Blake. They walked away scowling and mumbling.

"Well it's as good as it's going to get, I have to sort everything out on the Mac, and the vocals, and Connor usually does drums and my guitarist and bassist got sent to Wales and Manchester when the home closed, so we had to abandon ship."

"You know I have an electric guitar, and a bass, if you need an extra hand sometimes."

"Only if you want to. I mean, we track far too much material, most of it isn't even worth showing."

"Well you know where I am." Blake replied winking at her as he returned to his room, and his phone, which rarely left his sight.

It had been about 6 hours since the incident when Mike came home, without Johnny. Frankie's stomach churned, she still had no way of finding Connor, and she knew him too well. This wasn't normal. She still held his chain tightly in her hand.

"The doctors want to keep Johnny for a few days for observation. He had a minor concussion and he broke his elbow from falling." Mike said, seriously. "Now, I want to know what happened."

"Connor just ran in and punched Johnny, they were having a laugh then Connor just punched him then ran off." Tee said, defending her brother. Carmen, Acid, Tyler and Mackenzie also agreed to the story. The others said they weren't too sure of what happened. Then, it was time for Frankie's point of view.

"Mike, Connor wouldn't have hit Johnny if he hadn't have wound him up first, he's been doing it since he came in. Connor's been my best friend for years now, and he's hardly ever been that angry, I've never seen him like that before." Frankie said trying not to panic. "Connor always lied to people of why he was in care, and I don't know why, but he did." Frankie then held the gold necklace in her hand.

"This necklace used to be Frankie's Dad's. He was a relatively wealthy man, had a great job and he was a single parent to Connor, since his mum left them when he was little. He's Frankie's hero, he was a great guy; we were next door neighbours for a long time. His Dad died of cancer just over a year ago, and Connor cared for him full time by the end. He got sent to live with his mum and her boyfriend back in Newcastle, who made him do drugs for their entertainment, and they'd make him over dose and made him really ill, and they'd beat him unconscious if he didn't do as he was told when he was told. He'd be on the phone to me, every night, just saying how much he wanted to die, and never be like them.

Then, one day I was in Kings Cross going to meet my friends, and I saw Connor, he'd been homeless for weeks, he was a skeleton, he was ill and depressed. Johnny said his Dad was a terrible parent, and stole the one thing he has left to remember his Dad. Of course he'd flip out. Even worse since he's…" Frankie said stopping herself, going wide eyed. Connor stopped taking his medication when they found out the home was closing down, much to Frankie's dismay.

"He's what?" Gina asked asking her to continue. Frankie just darted out the room and out the front door. She needed to find Connor, and fast.

AN: Thanks for all the reviews so far, I really wanted Connor's past into the story, Frankie's past is a lot more clouded and isn't cropping up as much, but I hope you're enjoying her character at the minute, she's quite a complex character to write about.
