Chapter 12

When I woke up all I could think about was Tony and Frank. Fuck I love Frank, but damn Tony sure is cute. Maybe Ray was right, maybe I should go after Frank but he's almost an uncle to me! Well technically my dad and him aren't related so the only thing wrong is the age difference! But Tony... maybe he should be just a great friend? I sighed and got out of bed. It was Saturday and I was supposed to hangout with Tony so that I could meet his band. That seems fun... well I'm still trapped in this dumb love triangle thingy.

I hopped in my shower and started washing myself. I pictured all my mumble jumbled thoughts all over myself, so that I could at least try to wash them away. I'm so sick of feeling so lost and confused and hurt. Maybe I need a break from boys. I rolled my eyes, never in my life did I think I'd end up with "boy problems." I laughed at the thought.

I got dressed after leaving the shower and headed downstairs, grabbing my phone so I could text Tony if I needed to. I looked in the kitchen but saw no dad and no uncles. Maybe they were downstairs making music. All of a sudden I heard the sound of Frank playing guitar. I knew it was Frank because he had a certain way of playing. I loved it... like I love him. I sighed once more and thought to myself. Enough with the sighing and constant headache from this! I'm calling my friend and I'm getting this situated.

I sat on the couch and looked at my phone. I opened Tony's contact and debated whether or not I should call him. The debating thing went on for about 15 minutes. By the time I got the balls to press the call button I head footsteps of my family coming up from the basement studio thingy.

"Hello? Hi Ross!" I heard Tony on the phone.
"Umm hi Tony. So uh how's it hanging?" I asked awkwardly.
"I'm doing alright. How bout you?" He said back, by this time, my dad and uncles were for sure eavesdropping on me.
"I mean I'm, ok.. so uh, we still on for today?" I got up from the couch and started walking in circles.
"Of course we are! Unless you're not available today then we can hang some other time." He said, sort of sadly.
"It's not that I can't hangout, it's just like... I don't know I'm kind of in a bad pickle right now and like, I just don't know how to deal. It's like, when you like chocolate and vanilla but you eat chocolate all the time but then you feel bad for the vanilla ice cream and you're like "oh well maybe I should eat you now..." you know?" I asked, realizing how weird and awkward I sounded.

I head my dad snicker in the kitchen. Yup, he was definitely listening to me.
"I think I get it, but who or what are you stuck on?" Tony asked.

This conversation lasted a good 20 minutes and at the end of the conversation Tony ended up yelling at me and telling me to chase my love and don't worry about the wrongs, it'll work out in the end. I guess he understood as much as Frank did. I ended up texting him after we hung up and we talked even more about the situation. ( Bold - Tony, Italic - Ross)

So you're stuck on Frank huh?

Wait, how'd you know it was Frank??

I saw your contact for him Ross, it's Frankie😽❤️ it was adorable

Omg I'm so embarrassed but you're not mad??

Ofc I'm not mad, you're still going to be my best friend we just had a little make out session but we're good now lol

Aww, I'm still really sorry

Omg don't worry about it, matter of fact, go talk to Frank right now!!!

Ok ok I will, lol love you

Love you too Rossy

So after that amazing text conversation I decided to follow Tony's instructions. I got up and walked over to where everyone was hanging out. They were all eating subway and I felt quite left out. I briskly walked over to my dad and took his sandwich. I took one bite and instantly regretted it. I forgot he liked "special sandwiches" whatever that meant. All I know is I instantly tasted something sour.

"Ughhhhh why do you have to eat sandwiches like that??!" I spit out the sandwich and almost gagged.
"To keep you away from them!" My dad laughed. I gave him puppy eyes and made a frown. He rolled his eyes in a playful way.
"Don't worry, we got a sandwich for you too." He pulled out my sandwich and I smiled with delight. Talking about boy problems really made you hungry I guess.

I took my sandwich and ate it in a matter of 5 minutes.
"Jeez you finished that quick!" Ray said.
"I was starving!" I laughed. I looked over at Frank and he looked like the saddest puppy I knew. I mean sure, I could pull off the puppy eyes but when it came to Frank's adorable face, those puppy eyes really got to ya.

"Hey Frank, mind helping me with guitar?" I said, quickly winking.
"I thought I was your guitar buddy!!" Ray said.
"I take turns, Ray." I said putting his back. Frank slowly walked over to me and headed downstairs. He didn't even answer me, I knew he was hurt. I just don't understand why he would be hurt this bad, he's the one who ended all this.

I sighed- damn it! I'm trying to not be upset over this! I walked over to the basement studio thingy and saw Frank already hooking up his guitar. I walked over to him and took the guitar from his hands. I placed it on a chair and looked at him.
"I thought you wanted to practice." He said, quietly. I took his hands and looked him in the eyes.
"Ross you know we can't be-"
"Shhhh, just relax, I know you want this just as much as me. I've been thinking and I realized that the only reason I kissed Tony or even thought I liked him was because I wanted you so bad. I tried to replace what we had but nothing can replace these feelings and you can't deny that. I know you feel at least a little something towards me... right?" I looked down.

Frank lifted my chin, "Of course I feel something towards you, I love you. I'm just scared because I don't know how long I can hide this."
"You don't have to hide it forever, just for now. I'm willing to do anything for this, for us." I looked at Frank. His eyes looked right back at me.
"I need you Frank."
"I need you more." He said. He gave me a kiss and looked back at me. I cupped my hand on his cheek. I smiled and kissed him more. This feels right. I hope Frank feels the same way.

A/N: So I decided to continue with Frank because that was my original idea and I got sooo caught up in new ideas but now I got the story, I think, so far and I hope you guys like it. I'm sorry if you guys voted Tony and I feel really bad but I saw this one comment on the previous chapter that kind of slapped some sense into me with the story line lol.

So yup, that's all and I hope you guys enjoyed once again. Also maybe I'll start asking questions at the end of chapters but like random ones likeeeee

Do you guys watch Jessie Paege? I loveeee her, hbu

Stay safe, my children
