Bonjour readers. Hope you enjoyed the last chapter. You're lucky today because I had the time to update again. This chapter is like chapter 5 but from Frank's point of view. I like to do 2 people's point of view on a major event. Enjoy

Chapter 6- Flashback. Frank's P.O.V.

*Flashback*

It was the day of the funeral. I'd helped Stella to do the planning for the day. She'd wanted me to come. She said that they would have wanted me there. I had met Stella's parents quite a few times and they were lovely people. 10 o' clock was when she wanted me to meet her up at the flat. The service was 10.30 so we would have plenty of time.

It was 5 to 10. I was anxious to see if Stella was ok but David was with her so I knew that he would help her keep it together. I went to the door and knocked. David opened the door to me and smiled.

"Hi Frank come on in."

I walked in and looked around. I couldn't see Stella anywhere

"Hi David how have you been?"

"Ok. Miserable but not as bad as my little sister"

"When she found out she was really bad."

I looked around again

"Where is Stella?"

"She went to the bathroom about 10 minutes ago. I'll go get her."

We both went up to the door and knocked

"Sis you coming out"

"Come out Stella"

Then something horrible in the back of my head came out. I knew what happened when she was left on her own when she was upset. She would try to cope on her own. It wasn't really coping. She told me in confidence that it used to help when she was a kid. I made her promise not to do it again.

"She doesn't have a knife in there does she?" I asked David

"Um…yeah. There's one on the basin. Why does it matter?"

"Have you seen the scars on her arms? Have you?"

It took a minute but the penny finally dropped.

"Sis unlock the door!"

"Stella don't do it please! Just open the door!" I shouted

There was a pause before "I'm coming. Give me a minute."

The lock slid back and the door opened. She was very pale. She was wearing a black dress and the necklace I had got her for her birthday

"You haven't have you?" I looked for blood. She lifted her arms towards me so I could see. Nothing but old scars.

"Will you be ok?" David asked again

"Yeah I'll be fine. Let's go." Is what he got in reply

We started to leave the flat. I turned the corner in the corridor and saw Stella hesitate before shutting the door. When she thought we had gone she went back inside. I followed her but waited outside instead of going in. When she came out she was carrying her phone in her hand. She put it in her bag and took out her keys. Once she had locked the door I put my arm round her and pulled her into a hug.

When we got to the church it was near to empty. We had decided to keep the funeral very low key. Stella had refused several offers from MI9 for a big grand funeral with lots of agents who didn't know her parents. The service was short with a few people saying how much they had cared about the Knights and how they felt sorry for Stella and David for losing their parents to a car accident. We kept the real reason of their death secret. Only a few people in the church knew that they worked for MI9. After the service only three of us stayed to see the burial.

After the ceremony David had to rush back to Scotland. I walked him to back to the main road.

"Frank Thank you."

"What for?" I was a little confused

"For coming today. You didn't just help Stella, you helped me to."

"That's ok."

"Frank will you promise me something."

"What is it?" I wanted to know what I promising before I agreed

"Stay with her Frank. Please. For her sake. I probably won't see her for ages now. She trusts you. She loves you. Do you promise?"

"I promise."

"Thank you."

He got into his car and drove off in the direction of the station. I waved a goodbye but he didn't seem to see it.

I went back into the graveyard and found Stella standing by her parent's grave. She was mumbling to herself. I put my arms round her waist and she seemed to relax. She turned round and smiled. I put my arms around her again and kissed her forehead.

"Are you ok?" I asked

"Yeah I'll be ok. Has David gone back to Scotland?"

I nodded in reply. A sadness entered her eyes. She missed him already.

"Come on you've still got me."

"I won't see David for at least 5 years. You're the only person I've got left now."

"I'll always be there for you, you know that?" I was going to keep my promise

"I know"

I kissed her. It seemed to last forever. That's how I wanted to stay.
