It has been a couple days since the middle of the night call from Chris and I hadn't heard from him. I had heard from Scott saying Chris thought calling me was all a dream and when Scott told him the truth he was mortified.
He hadn't called me back and I was wondering if he ever would. I wanted to talk to him, and I wanted to let him know what I had decided but without a call back from him he would never know.
I was back to looking at the pictures of Chris and I, even before we left on the road trip, I was lost in my own thoughts as I also started writing down some lyrics that I didn't hear Hollie come into the house.
"Hey you." Hollie said from my bedroom door, and I snapped my head up and smiled.
"Hey, you still have a few weeks off." I said and she shrugged coming over and hugging me.
"I heard you were back, and I can only spend so much time with the parents." Hollie said and I nodded. "Also, I heard the new song you released." Hollie said and sat beside me, and I sighed.
"Yeah well...that happened while I was home." I said.
"And this one?" Hollie asked tapping the notebook and looked at the pictures.
"While I was on vacation, I went to visit Chad -..."
"I saw the pictures." She said and I smiled.
"Well even though he was always on my side of hating Chris he was questioning if its maybe time to move on, stop hating on Chris and forgive him." I explained and Hollie sighed.
"I think he has a point..." Hollie said, and I nodded.
"Well, I called Chris and left him a voicemail saying I just wanted to talk but he called me drunk, and it was awkward. That was days ago though, I thought he would have called me back by now." I pouted and Hollie placed a comforting hand on my back.
"It will all work out." Hollie said and I shrugged.
"Well, if he doesn't call back, there will be this song as my goodbye to him." I said and Hollie smiled.
"Like goodbye forever or goodbye from the past to move on?" Hollie asked and I shrugged.
"I guess we see what happens when I have it planned and recorded.
**A WEEK LATER**
**CHRIS POV**
Scott and I were back in LA, I had been for a week. I had to get in the right mind set to call Frankie back and I didn't feel like I was there yet. I knew she and Scott had been texting and she was asking about me, but he wasn't getting in the middle or making excuses for me.
We were in the workout room in my LA house, I needed to stay in shape for Captain America and make sure I wasn't slacking. I slacked on break but now it was time to get back. Scott was working out with me, and we had the radio playing.
"So, we have a surprise for everyone! Another song from Frankie Devon!" The DJ said.
"Another one?!" The co-host DJ asked shocked.
"Yeah, this girl was adamant she was taking a break, and she is just giving out songs like they are candy. I like what this break has done for her creative mind, but if she keeps releasing now what is she going to fill up the new album with?" The DJ asked.
"You really doubt her? I mean she has given us 2 songs in a month. Girl probably has about 50 more written." The co-host said.
"Either way, all I know is I listened to this last one and it was amazing. She seems to be telling someone you'll always be in my life, but I'm done. Does this mean we are going to be getting a new sound from her?" The DJ asked.
"It might, I mean I love her music but the mopey, losing love songs were getting old. I can't wait to see if she gets a new sound." The co-host DJ said.
"New sound or if she stays the same...the new song is amazing, and I think we have held it off long enough. Here she is with her new single Tattoo by Franke Devon." The DJ said.
I stopped working out and walked over to the radio to turn it up, so I made sure I heard it.
🎵 No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire, sooner or later
I get what I'm asking for
No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
The truth is a stranger, soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free to
Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment, I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror, didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I
Could stop admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind
Sorry but I've gotta be strong and leave you behind
I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you
I'll always have you
If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
There's still a part of me in you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do, oh
Can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing's broken
No need to worry about everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everythin' I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Can't waste time so give it a moment
I realized nothing's broken
No need to worry about everythin' I've done
Live every second like it was my last one
Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once and I needed protection
You're still a part of everythin' I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo
Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you🎵
Once the song was over, I turned down the radio. I didn't need to hear what the DJ's thought of the song. It was a goodbye song, a goodbye song to what though?
"Chris...?" Scott asked as I walked over and sat on the weight bench.
"What was the song saying goodbye to?" I asked.
"I don't now Chris."
"It was to me, I know it was. I never called her back after all this time. She was willing to talk to me and give me a second chance. She wanted to do something, and I called her drunk and then don't call her again." I explained.
"You don't know that for a fact." Scott said.
"I think it's pretty damn obvious! I ruined any second chance she was willing to give me. I fucked it all up!" I snapped and threw the water bottle in my hand across the room. I sat in silence for a few minutes and then I pulled my cellphone out.
Chris: Hey, I just heard the new song.
The three dots appeared and then disappeared multiple times. Finally, something came through.
Frankie: And what are your thoughts?
Chris: Was it about me Frankie? Are you done and saying goodbye to me?
Again, those damn three dots that kept appearing and disappearing. I took matters into my own hands and texted again.
Chris: I know I may have screwed up again in your life and I know you don't have to give me a chance, but please Frankie...please.
Frankie: I think it's time we talked. When can you meet?
