Almost like you. Frank Morrison x reader (dbd)

Chapter 32

(Y/n)'s POV

I was worried about Hope. What if Eric was really coming to get her? I was even more scared because of Igor. My life has had so many disturbing twists and turns for a while and it made me think that I really did deserve this because of my past. What would Jade say now? I was such a failure compared to her. She would have never gotten herself in some deep shit like this. And now once again I was scared.

I didn't know what to say. I heard that Jackson and his mother had been brutally killed in their home. It was so unreal. Maybe disappearances of Hunter and Christian wasn't just like I believed. Dad even came to visit me to warn me since they believed that it was Eric who has done that since he has had problems with his anger. I was scared to be alone so I had to invite a friend to keep me company while I was looking after Hope.

"Here you go. I think hot chocolate is a good way to relax." I turn to look at Jeff who was holding a cup. I smile at him and take the cup. "Thank you." I smile while Jeff sits next to me. "Are you feeling any better?" I look at the cup and shrug my shoulders. "To think that I was once like them... Now it feels so unreal." He nods as he takes a sip from his own cup. "I know. But you saved yourself from that. You wanted something better for Hope and yourself."

I guess he was right. I grew up while they stayed like that. However, it doesn't mean that they deserved the fate they had. "Thank you. I needed to hear that." He gives me a sweet smile before he nods. "I guess we both need a friend right now huh?" I... I can't look away from him. He seems to notice this as he clears his throat. "I need to use the restroom. I'll be back soon." He gets up and leaves quickly. I look after him with worried expression. Did I do something wrong?

There was a frantic knock on the door which made me turn to look at the door. It was already so late. Who could it be? I stand up and walk to it. I was hesitating to open it. What if it was Eric? I take a deep breath in and open it, only to get hugged immediately while I was hearing some crying. I was little shock but I turn my head so I could see who it was. I saw pink hair and immediately knew that it was Susie!

"Susie? What's going on? Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She pulls back a little but then she shakes her head. She seemed to be devastated. "Ms. (L/n)! I need to talk with you now! It's important." She was crying and I hug her back while I try to calm her down. "It's okay. You can tell my anything you want to. You're safe here." I close the door behind her and lead her to the couch. She was still crying while I did that.

Once I sit her down on the couch and sit on the armchair. "Tell me whenever you're ready." She takes in couple of deep breaths in and out. "It's about J-Julie and F-Frank." I felt my heart sink. Did something bad happen to them. "Please tell me." I was worried that they were in trouble. "They have not been the same since the thing that happened in the ski resort." I was worried that she would say that. "Why do you think that?"

"Excuse me." Susie turns to look at Jeff who was looking between us. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything ." He says before Susie stands up. "I... I need to go. I'll talk to you later." She says before she almost runs outsides. "Susie wait!" I yell after her but she just slams the door behind herself. "I'm sorry if I interrupted you two. I didn't mean it." I smile at Jeff before I dismiss him. "No It's fine. I'll talk to her later."

He nods before he sits on the couch. "So, was she one of your friends or?" I think for a moment what I should say. "She's a student where I work but she's also Frank's friend." Jeff nods as he thinks for a moment. "Is Frank one of your patients?" I didn't know what to say to him. "He is. He's a friend too." I didn't know why I lied to him but it felt to be the right decision. "Oh okay. I hope that everything will be okay with her."

I wanted that too. "Are you going to leave soon?" He takes a sip from his drink before he answers. "I should because of my dog and job." I was amazed! I didn't know he had a dog! "Wait you have a dog?" He smiles at me before he laughs. "I have! I adopted him from a shelter." I can't help but to aww. He was such a kind man! "So what do you do for living?" He smiles but then just shrugs. "I design tattoos and freelance album covers for bands."
