A / n: Thanks for the reviews! It's very sweet and the comments so far are making me blush! I planned on the last chapter being much longer, but since there was assumption the story stopped and the fact that I had writer's block for the chapter anyway – I figured posting it wouldn't be that bad an idea and at least it was something to let you know the story is still in full swing. Also I'm a gamer girl, so I got a new game and was at that for a few days. Anyway, be under the assumption this story is still going, unless you a) don't see it here anymore, or b) I say it's going to stop in an author's note, which I will do out of courtesy IF that is the case. But for now, this story isn't stopping anytime soon. Thanks guys! Enjoy.

P.s. Yes Frostie! Hot 'N' Cold does describe these two XD Plus a few other songs I've been listening to lately. X3

Let It Burn

III

"For fuck sakes!" Abbey cursed out loud, to which Grace's eyes widened in surprise, even though she shouldn't be overly surprised, Abbey was picking up on the cursing quite well, if nothing else. "How long does it take? I have to tell Frankie that I will not be there tomorrow, if I do not feel better by then, I will not." On another note, she was also learning to word her sentences better so that the students didn't have a 'hard time' understanding her (unsure of what she wanted to do in college, Abbey had decided to take an extra year at Monster High, which couldn't and didn't hurt of course).

Grace sighed, "I know dear, I know. It just takes awhile. Calm down, you're not in any condition to stress." She bit her lip, then cleared her throat, "Just sit sweetheart, relax. You're certainly not a patient species are you?" She inquired with a chuckle and smirk.

Abbey herself giggled, "No, I am not. I would much prefer to be somewhere else than here. This place makes me solemn, I do not want to feel solemn, I -"

"I'm sorry but, our labs are backed up. You'll have to wait another couple hours. My apologies." The skinny, petite mousy looking woman told them informatively.

Abbey looked as if she was going to 'flip a shit' - as Heath would say. "YOU MUST BE -"

Grace shushed Abbey right away, "That's fine, thank you." The nurse walked away immediately, not wanting to get caught up in the storm that would be result of Abbey's anger. "You just calm down right this instant." She said sternly, Abbey shrinking in her seat. "I know exactly what you need right now, and you just need to trust me."

This whole trust thing didn't come easy for a monster like Abbey Bominable. She was finally coming around to the whole 'not wasting breath by speaking' thing. Now she was supposed to trust other beings other than herself? Well, for Mrs. Bloodgood, she'd try.

Several minutes went by and Abbey had her legs crossed delicately, her right over the left, her right foot bouncing impatiently. Grace gave her eyes a roll with a small smile; she was very, very impatient for sure, no doubting that.

Just then, she saw Abbey's eyes widen and a huge smile appear on her face, which she 'willed away' by clearing her throat, but she got up from her seat right away and hugged the male she'd grown so close to, ever so tightly. "Heath! You are here!" She said in an excited whisper, kissing his lips tenderly.

He hugged her tightly, "Of course I'm here, why wouldn't I be here for you?"

She shrugged, "I don't know but I am glad you are here now. I feel, scared and partially violated." She told him, nuzzling down into his neck. Being taller than him had its perks and disadvantages. "They took my pee, ran with it, did tests and I didn't study." She told him quite seriously with a frown, to which he tried not to laugh, biting down on his bottom lip.

"Aww, I'm sorry my sweet." He comforted her, rubbing the small of her back as she enjoyed very much. "You barely ever need to study though, I'm sure it'll be okay."

She held on to him, didn't overly speak after that – she just, needed him there to hold on to.

::~*~::

Frankie looked around the hallway of Monster High rather nervously. Cleo had just gotten done telling her about how clawesome it is to have a 'college boyfriend' and that its sky rocketed her popularity, way higher than her sister's. Which of course Miss Cleo de Nile was totally ecstatic and yes – Frankie knew why and was happy for her, but she however, didn't like the idea of having a college boyfriend, or, boyfriends.

Holt and Jackson agreed on a single college, to which he took his necessary classes during the day, Holt's were at night – that was working out perfect for them. And any in between time was spent with Frankie. As much as she adored it, she couldn't help but to wonder about college girls. They'd of course be all over Jackson and Holt, them being gorgeous and what not. But the thought often crossed Frankie's mind that, perhaps she wasn't good enough for them anymore. The years they've been together were great, but she knew she'd have this fear once Jackson/Holt went off to college, without her.

Avoiding these thoughts was inevitable.

Her iCoffin4s vibrated in her designer purse, she stopped to dig through it, hoping the text was from Holt, as it was rather late at night. They didn't have a 'set time' to change, it was… Jackson from dawn 'til dusk, and Holt from dusk 'til dawn. They had it well and to the point where it wasn't bad physically now that they had acknowledged one another. The only time they felt a little off, was of course 'Daylight Savings' but – that was it. She was so proud of how far they've come.

Hey Frankie my fine ass ghoulfriend, what's shakin'?

Well, she didn't have to have many smarts to figure out who this text was from. She smiled wide and sent a text back.

Holt, my fine ass boyfriend. My ass is shakin' – or at least it will be, for you tonight. ;)

Teasing him was so much fun and quite evidently, her guilty pleasure. She adored it most when he just couldn't take it anymore and almost begged her to give in and stop the teasing and just, do it already. Which she had no problem doing.

Intimate nights with Holt were wild, unexpected and crazy. Just the other night she and Jackson went all the way and she noted the differences between the two when it came to their love making.

For instance, Holt was all about the wild and crazy, so… they've tried a number of things, tying up, dominatrix, etc. and as much as she didn't mind it, it was… the only thing Holt seemed to enjoy. It would get tiring after awhile, since so much physicality being involved, but then – she and Jackson made love, and it was such a different experience altogether!

Jackson of course was all about the, romantic side of love making. She went over the one late morning; he had scented candles lit up, the room smelling of her favorite scent. Satin bed linens with rose pedals on the floor and bed. He kissed and caressed her so, lovingly. But the best part was that they took it slow.

She was a tad surprised when he brought chocolate sauce into it, but at the same time she didn't mind it at all, especially when she could put it on him – yum! And he made her blush and spark when he told her that her sweetness couldn't be compared to anything in the slightest, then when her bolts sparked, she blew a fuse in his room, the lights turning off and the candles dull light covering his bedroom.

He even made a flaw of hers, turn into something beautiful. He made her feel so, so special. It's why on one hand, she felt that he… loved her and wouldn't be so quick to leave her as the other part of her mind feared he might. Looking at the time, she raised an eyebrow in thought. "Abbey, where are you ghoul?" She asked herself. Abbey was always going on about punctuality and being on time, not being tardy – and here she was late?

Frankie wasn't mad, no she was more so concerned. But she gave a shrug as she headed to class by herself, Abbey not accompanying her this time. Maybe if she caught Heath, he knew what was up? Only time would tell.
