It's been two days since Theodore gave you his ultimatum. You've been hiding in your room you never spoke a word about it Frank, in fact you haven't spoken to Frank since waking up in his arms that morning. You left his texts on delivered and sent his calls to voice mail. Ignoring him eats you up but you can't let him impair your decision, give him up and be miserable or keep him and all hell breaks loose.

I suppose the heart never rests easy, now more than ever. You would have never thought Theodore would have turned out to be this shitty of a person, trying to manipulate you into a relationship for his benefit. Your stomach grumbles and it's your sign you can't rot in your bed forever so you get up and go downstairs very unenthusiastically. Reaching the bottom of the stairs the front door begins to open, and fear paralyzes you. The whole room stills before it's even completely open, you know who's behind it; and it's a punch in the gut that you know who it is just from sense alone.

The door is completely open now, Frank holding the knob with on hand and shoving his phone in his pocket in the other. As your phone dings loudly in your hand, you don't need to look you know who it is and he's standing right in front you. Franks eyes glance over you quickly before flicking over to the kitchen door trying to see if your parents had heard the door. Once he's sure they hadn't he's rushing to you.

" I've been calling and texting you hun, what's wrong ?"

You just stand there, not entirely able to process a lie good enough that Frank will believe. Tears begin to well up in your eyes and before you can blink them away they're already poring down your face. Franks warm and tough hands clutch the sides of your face and wipe away the tears.

" oh honey what's wrong, I'm here. It's okay I'm here"

He pulls you into a hug and you just grip him tightly. You begin to mutter.

"Frank I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry"

He begins to rub you back as he continues to hug you.

"Sorry for what sweet heart ?"

You just shake your head in his arms, before pulling away and wiping your tears. You reach to grab his hand and give it a soft squeeze before letting it fall to his side and walk to the kitchen. Frank stood there and watched as you disappeared beyond the door and then looked at the hand you had held. Letting his thoughts go he walks after you, greeting your parents as though he'd just gotten there.

His eyes glared at you as you stood at the kitchen island; preparing yourself something to eat. Your eyes a soft pink color the only indicator that you had cried in his arms. But before he could stare too long you turn and grab your plate of food and walk back out and to your room. Once you got there you caved, and looked at all the messages that Frank sent you.

Frank

" hey"

"Hey haven't heard from you sweetheart, everything okay ?"

" come on baby talk to me, what happened"

" your killing me sweet girl, call me i need to hear your voice"

"Call me, please baby ?"

You couldn't bring yourself to listen to the voicemails not right now. Just as you were going to swipe off the chat a text bubble
Appeared.

" You gonna keep ignoring me hun?"

You don't reply you just turn your phone off and bring your knees to your chest. You felt like your chest was being pried open and your heart being dissected whist you were still alive. Frank was your heaven on earth and now you have to give him up for the sanctity of your life. You thought of turning Theodore down, but that meant that your family finds out about you and Frank. God your mother and siblings would freak, but dad... oh god dad would kill him.
