               "𝗚et up!" abby yelled, banging on frankie's door. "no!" frankie yelled, hiding under her covers.

"lucas, would you?"

"i already know the drill." the blonde chuckles walking into her room. he loved waking her up in the morning; it was the highlight of his day.

"frankie, you're going to miss the beautiful breakfast your dad made." the redhead moved her head from under the cover, huffing. "don't you get tired of waking me up every morning? it's been like two months."

it's been two months since maya came over; it's been two months since frankie and maya hung out. "the best two months of my life. now let's go; i want to eat."

lucas picked her up and set her down in her bathroom. "i'll be out here if you need anything." he shut the door and sat down on the floor.

"why is he so nice?" she asked herself in the mirror, "why are you so nice, lucas?" frankie opened the door staring at him. "because it doesn't hurt to be nice."

"lucas, can we talk?" thomas asked as soon as he walked into frankie's room. "sure, sir."

"um, no. lucas, you don't have to go out there." frankie says, walking in front of him. "you need to get ready for school. i'll be back." lucas gently pushed her into the bathroom closing the door.

"i'm all yours." lucas smiles, walking out of frankie's room. "so, what did you want to talk about?"

"you actually." the younger boy furrowed his brows, "me?"

"yeah, i just wanted to let you know that i know the real reason why you moved here." lucas eyes widened, "how do yo—"

"matthews told me. i'm not here to tell you to get out or anything because i know you made a mistake. everyone makes mistakes, but have you told her?" thomas asks, leaning on the wall. "she doesn't do well with lies."

lucas rubbed the back of his neck, gaze dropping to the floor. "no. i haven't told her."

thomas didn't say anything right away, just nodded like he already figured. the hallway felt too quiet. "you planning to?" he finally asked.

lucas sighed, leaning back against the wall. "i want to. i just... i don't know how. she looks at me like i'm good. like i'm better than i am."

franklin crossed his arms. "then tell her before someone else does. before she finds out the hard way."

lucas looked up. "you think she's gonna hate me?"

"i think she's gonna be hurt you didn't tell her right away," frank said honestly. "but frankie's not like other people. she doesn't give up on the people she loves. you just gotta be brave enough to let her in."
