Chapter Seven

      Frank swiftly opened the locker door and whisked me away on his shoulder. He sprinted faster than when we were chased, his movements hasty. He had to vault over broken down cars, tires, and other things as he made it a point to make a direct beeline to the exit. My mind raced faster than our momentum as I thought back to what happened in the locker.

      My lips still tingled and I felt frazzled. It all felt like taboo, yet I enjoyed every last second of it. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the dreadful ringing of a bell mere inches from my head. Frank was struggling to keep his speed. Air rushed into my lungs and I found myself unable to scream or do anything. Looking into his eyes was horrifying, my heart stopping as a feeling of dread loomed over me. They were just white marbles, dull and emotionless. I felt tears bridging my eyes as he raised his weapon, only able to watch as he brought it down. Then it all went black.

      I smelled fire and opened my eyes. I was in my tent with my book draped over my face. I mentally scolded myself for falling asleep so early. I put my book back in my bag and unzip my tent. It was evening time, the sun was just beginning to set. The summer air felt nice as I emerged to the smell of s'mores. Susie and Joey sat on logs with sticks in their hands. We were friends... But where was Frank and Julie? I walked over to the group and asked them the same question.

      "He said he was going to take a walk and Jules followed shortly after," Joey said.

      Susie looked up from her toasty marshmallow, "They went down to the cliff side," she explained.

      I nodded and thanked them, walking down the trail. I thought of how they've been butting heads lately since Frank and I started talking and he invited me to join the group. Wait, this doesn't make any sense. Where are these thoughts coming from and why do memories always come up during odd times? The trail ended and trees broke off into a clearing. Instead of just walking out, I stood in the shade of the trees. It looked like they were fighting, and I was afraid to intervene.

      Frank didn't seem to distressed, but I still worried for him. My eyes shot open wide as I witnessed Julie slap him. It made something in me snap and I ran in front of them to prevent her from pushing him. She ended up pushing me into him and it seemed to just upset her even more. I regained my footing and as she tried to push me again, I locked my hands with hers and reinforced my stance. I wasn't paying attention to her yelling, but it made me feel bad that she was crying. I wanted to understand what was wrong but I couldn't let her hurt Frank or anyone else. I felt Frank trying to separate me from her, but I overpowered her before he could. As she lay on the ground, Frank just stood and stared in slight shock.

      "It's either they leave or I'm out, Frank!" she yelled in anguish.

      I sighed and wiped some sweat from my forehead. I turned to look at Frank only to see him shake his head and sit down near the cliff's edge. I debated whether or not I should sit with him, afraid that he was upset with me, but then he spoke.

      "You can come sit with me, (Y/N)," Frank said as he stared down at the scenery below, "I'd actually prefer if you did."

      I stood in place for a moment longer before slowly making my way over to the edge of the cliff to sit with him.

      "I wanted to come here to have some time to myself to think some things over..." Frank sighed and looked over to meet my gaze, "Julie doesn't want anyone else hanging around with us, but I quite enjoy your company..."

      "I can stop hanging out with the group..." It seemed as though the words just slipped out of my mouth, no thought put into them whatsoever.

      Frank looked over at me, a look of shock and confusion written all over his features. "(Y/N), no, I'm not-"

      "We can just hang out together when you have the time," I spoke over him, giving him a reassuring smile. He seemed to think about it for a moment before turning back to look out at the now setting sun.

      "... Fine, if that's what you'd like..." was all he uttered before a silence fell over the clearing.

      The silence stretched on as we watched the sun set and the sky slowly changed from pinks and purples to a deep and dark navy blue, the evening fading to night. It was a comfortable silence though, I wouldn't bother breaking it. I slowly moved my gaze down to my hands that rested in my lap, a small smile tugging at the corner of my lips as I sighed softly in content.

Yeah, I'm gonna leave it here bc I can't really come up with anything I like for this chapter soooo… Also, bc I don't want to add another A/N, I'm putting this book on hold. I'm kinda not happy with it and I'm slowly falling out of the DBD fandom, but I will continue to write books. I'm actually planning another original work, but mostly plan on introducing FNaF lol. So, if you're interested, you can go check those out when I publish them. Love you guys! :]
