Sydney’s POV:
-“Sydney?” asked me Frankie looking worried. I took a deep breath a let out a small moan, feeling depression and sickness.
-“Yeah, Frankie?”
-“Is something going on?
-“No, why?”
-“You look weird, like literally, you look like you didn’t sleep for so long.”
-“It’s okay, Frankie. I just had a bad night.”
-“What happened?” asked Frank as he drank a bit of coffee.
-“Never mind. It’s really nothing.”I lied. I couldn’t tell him what happened. It was too soon. We knew each other only for a month and we were already dating.
-“Don’t lie to me, please I won’t tell anybody. You can always believe me.”He said as he hugged me around my waist. I felt really weird, telling him the truth. But I had too. He wanted to know and I’m not a good liar.
-“I never told you this, but I’ll give it a go. My dad’s an alcoholic and he found me and my mom again. Last night, he came to our house and beat my mom for leaving him. I couldn’t take it any longer so I called the police and they got him. Before they took him, he told me that I’m dead and that I will never see happiness ever. ..” I suddenly started to cry hard and sob.
-“I’ll kick his ass, if he ever hurts you…”
-“I heart that before. You can’t and you won’t. The police got him into the station and my mom’s in the hospital, so I guess he is going to prison soon. I feel, so bad and unsafe. I’m home alone for three weeks…” I suddenly got cut by Frank who looked sad and exited at the same time.
-“I’m staying with you. And you can’t do anything about it.”
-“Frank, no what are we going to tell the guys?”
-“Well, we can tell them the truth if you want. I would feel better if they know.”
-“Yeah, me too. So we can tell them today at the practice? Or I have a better idea! I can have a sleepover and we can invite them over and tell them. What do you think?”There was a moment of silence but Frank nodded and gave me a simple kiss on the cheek.

After a while, the guys were at my place. Bob and Ray were playing video games, Mikey and Frank were arguing on something witch left me and Gerard alone in my room. I felt really weird looking to his eyes, because it felt like something bad. We were sitting in silence for a moment, but after that Gerard got up to check my room. He looked at my posters of bands and just smiled.
-“You like Blin182 and Black Flag? Wow that’s great! And, ‘The Smiths’? They’re great. You have the same sense of music like me or the guys. That’s great considering you’re a girl.”
I blushed for a minute.
-“Was that a compliment?” I asked smiling at him, and he just giggled. It was great being with him, because it brought me old memories back.
-“Yeah, it was. By the way, Sydney?”
-“Yes?” I asked questioning his face. He looked pale and his dark black hair going to his eyes made me feel weird. I didn’t know what that was, but just looking to his beautiful hazel eyes remained me, of the last night I saw him. It was the night before I left. We were by the lake.. I suddenly felt tears going down my cheek. ‘Maybe he forgot.’ I thought to myself looking at my blue carpet.
