I couldn't believe it, they were even bitchier than I remember. We we're all trying to get them to shut up but they're so argumentative. It makes me ticked off. They kept on whining and pulling attention towards themselves. The other people in the cafe were actually staring right at our table. They wouldn't shut up at all. Whether they were reminiscing about 'memories' or their favourite candy. They did not know how to stop talking at all. I mean it is irritating but everything they were saying was aimed all at me. I'm not really one to take a joke very lightly either. In fact, this isn't even a joke, it's constant digs at me. We've been sitting here for over ten minutes now and to be honest, it was testing my patience. I clearly had none. I felt to agitated to speak up anymore. It felt like they were purposely trying to piss me off so they could play the victims. Knowing them they probably would.

"Guys. Lets all calm the fuck down and just talk like normal people, 'kay?" Frank attempted to reason which made the two girls erupt with more comments.

"Why don't you leave Vanessa? She's a whore anyway. Remember when you walked out on her a few years back? Straight away she brought men back and let me tell you now, we could not sleep!" I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist. I was trying to resist the feeling of wanting to punch them both. I've always had a short temper. "Yeah. You know, I think she actually fucked Andy once," Helena said while smirking. This made Andy alert and as pissed off as I was. "No. We have never done any-"

"That never happened at all, you lying pieces of plastic surgery!" I spat through clenched jaw. I was on edge and at any moment I felt as if I was going to get pushed past the line which separated angry to pretty fucking pissed off. There was a gleam in their eyes. I felt on edge.  "We know they did, it's obvious because how close they are. Why else would the desperate little bitch come here?"

"You two are the liars! Jesus, I don't know how much longer of you two I can stand!" Sophie ran a hand through her hair. Andy was holding her other hand and kept on caressing it. Andy was sitting and just clenching his fist. "You two asked to meet up with them and this is all you're doing?! You said you wanted to make things right, not be stupid immature brats. You both need to fix your act up."

"If you have nothing smart to say then don't say anything at all." Hayley retorted with a smirk. She flicked her extensions over her shoulder.

Before anything else could be said, I stood up from my seat, and walked calmly out of the cafe. I felt as if I stayed any longer I'd probably end up wanting to hurt them both badly. Instead, I walked around the shops that were around the area. The area was actually pretty peaceful to say the least. It was a warm atmosphere. It seemed to calm me quite quickly. Whilst I was walking I spotted a nearby water fountain. Just for the pure sake of it, and the memories, I decided to walk up to the edge and flip a penny in, making a wish. Hell, I knew if you tried to make a wish nothing would happen but I'd like to dream of it. Dreams rarely come true, for me it seems I'm a lucky candidate. I'm currently in a band, I'm with the man of my dreams, I have the bestest friends I could ask for. Even though my mom, older brother and father no longer see me, because of tour, I'll have to cope. My mother never really bothered about me anyway. My older brothers always used to happily look after me. Give me advice, draw with me, play fight, all that childish stuff. I miss those days but in a way I'm pretty happy to be able to be an adult. Although I may not act like one.

As I glanced up from the fountain one thing became clear to me. Something so obvious, I shouldn't ever be side tracked to succeed. I need to get my shit together and live a normal life. And by that I mean to just be happy and visit my family in Jersey when tour's over. Then I'll let my hair down a while and relax. I can't remember the last time I had a day to just lay down on a couch with a laptop and binge watch anime while drinking diet coke and eating pringles. That sounds pretty damn good right now. I wonder if Frank would watch anime with me... I would love that so much!

Thinking about what I hope me and Frank to be like makes me really want to get Sophie and Andy together. Andy told me many of times that he likes Sophie a lot. I could always tell that he did. It was overly obvious to me. The way they looked at each other, they always stood by each other in situations. Now I'm thinking about it, I'd always admire their friendship. I know for a fact that Sophie is in love with Andy. And Andy, well it looked like he loves her too. I just somehow need to get them together. Frank's in on it too; things can only get better with a helping hand from Franessa as the internet calls us.

I pulled out my phone from my pocket and checked my messages. He's messaged me. He wants me to meet him back at the cafe. Something important. The girls shortly after I did and were actually kicked out. Frank wanted to meet me at some other Cafe. Probably because of the scene back there which is understandable.

Once I made it back to the sign that said 'Rouge Cafe' I happily stepped inside and the aroma of coffee surrounded me. I adore the smell. It can be bitter but I still love it. It looked like most of the customers were gone. There was also none other but only Frank sitting by himself with a piece of paper on the table, an envelope and what looked to be a rose. I blushed at the facial expression Frank was pulling as he was typing something on his phone. Probably texting.

I quickly rushed behind him and covered his eyes with my hands. "Guess who?" I heard a chuckle in response. "I missed you!" he turned around and kissed me  quickly. He ushered me over to my seat and tucked the chair into the table as if he was a gentleman. "Now, have you calmed down?" I smiled to myself and nodded. I felt overly shy for no reason whatsoever. I can't grasp why.

"I ordered this three minutes ago, it should be okay to drink now. Also, these are for you." He handed me the envelope and smiled widely. "I think you'll love this...I mean I hope you do. It means a lot to me and it would mean a lot to me so much more if you like it!"

"What is it?" I asked curiously. I fiddled with the edge of the envelope and ran my finger down the side. "Open it!" He grinned.

I gave in and delicately and carefully opened the envelope. There was a few pieces of paper folded inside. I hesitantly took one piece of paper out. There was a letter. For me. From him.

'I've wondered if I should consider this for a while but for some reason I never had the courage to ever ask you. I've loved you for a long time. You may know that much but do you know how worried I can get over you? Do you know how much I wondered what you might've been doing when I was on tour? I don't know a lot but one thing I'm certain on is that we're meant to be together. Please, I understand if you say no but please, can  you consider going to the next level with this relationship? I honestly do love you that much. I can't see my life without you in it.

Please move in with me.

Move in?

I hummed and smiled to myself. Moving in with Frank? Well that would be great but I can't help but have doubt. What would happen if we were to break up any time soon? That could complicate things. As a teenager I always dreamt of my future and who would be in it. I was certain that Frank would be there. To an extent I really did want him to be my best friend but I've come to realize that your other half is your best friend. They are your everything.

"'So, what d'ya say...?" Frank did a nervous smile and started fiddling around with the end of his sleeve. I'm guessing this must be one of his little nervous habits. I grinned and smashed my lips onto his. He looked shocked at first but after a few seconds he grasped onto what was going on and kissed back as forcefully as I kissed him.

"So that's a yes?" He murmured.

"Obviously, Pansy."
