"Does she know?" Gerard asked.

"No but-" Mikey started but Ray interrupted him.

"Shut up she could be listening." Ray said.

Oh shit. I rushed to the bed and pretended to be asleep. I couldn't be caught putting my ear in the crack of the door. But what are they talking about?

"Is Frank coming?" Gerard asked.

"No he's a bit upset right now." Mikey replied. The door then slammed shut and complete silence filled the house. Why is Frank upset? Sure I may not remember him but I still care for the guy. I got up hearing the carpeted floor crunch and sqeauk. I quietly and slowly walked to Frank's bedroom door and listened. Soft sobs and whispers were heard.

"Why doesn't she remember me." Frank said and sobbed more intensely. Oh god, why did this have to happen. I knocked on the door and heard shuffling and coughing.

"Who is it?" Frank asked his voice scratchy from obviously crying.

"It's...Violet can I come in?"

Silence.

I opened the door to see Frank on the bed with his hands covering his face.

"Frank look at me." I demanded sitting on the bed next to him.

He looked at me, his eyes red and puffy. He bit his lip to stop sobs from escaping. Tears fell from his eyes and I put my hand on his cheek, swiping away the tears with my thumb..

"I'm sorry." He said and pulled his head away.

"Why are you crying?"

I knew why, I just wanted him to say it.

"...You can't remember me and...ugh." He said and sighed

"Go ahead, talk I want to know." I replied with a soft smile.

"Because...it's been a year, we've been waiting for you and now you can't even remember us. It isn't your fault I just wish you could remember."

My mind then saw something but it was blurry.

"Wait how about I spend the day with you? The guys are gone so..."

"Wait really?" Frank asked looking at me slightly.

"Yeah come on!" I exclaimed and pulled him up.

"Well what are we gonna do?" He asked with a strangled laugh.

"I don't know, just hangout I guess." I shrugged.

"Sounds good to me sugar." He smirked and rested his elbow on my shoulder.

Sugar. Suddenly I had a sharp pain go through my neck.

"Fuck!" I shouted and put my hand on neck.

"What's wrong!?" Frank asked staring at me.

"My neck felt like someone was biting it...when I was in the hospital I saw a bite thing. Do you know what it is?"

"Oh...uh..no."

He's lying.

"Frankie are you lying?" I asked with a smirk.

"N-no!"

"Mhm sure."

"Think what you want sugar."

My mind then had pictures of kissing someone and a cemetery...what the hell. I rubbed my head and sighed

"What is it?"

"Nothing...I'm just remembering something."

"What are you remembering sugar?"

Then clearly in my mind I remembered meeting Frank, Mikey, and Ray. I also remembered kissing Frank...twice.

"I...kissed...you." I said and widened my eyes backing up.
