Uncovered Truths

A/N: Frank's texts are bold+underlined, yours are underlined, and Alex's are italicized+underlined.

Alex eventually comes to a stop outside an apartment building. Alex walks around and opens my door for me to get out. I slowly get up and thank him. Alex goes to grab my hand but I pull free from his grasp on instinct.
"Sorry, I'm just still not used to it. As far as I know Frank is still my boyfriend." I say apologizing to Alex.
"Don't worry love I'm sure soon all of your memories are going to come back and it'll be like none of this happened." Alex smiles at me and i nod hesitantly.
"So are you planning on being home all day?" I ask changing the subject.
"Trust me I would if I could but the band'll chew my head off if I miss practice again so I have to leave. You should stay and rest, promise me you won't go out yeah?"
"Yeah I promise or whatever," I say slightly too excited.
"Alright then I'll head out get some rest. I love you." Alex kisses my forehead before heading out.
Once I hear him fully close the door I go for my phone and search for Frank's number. I go through my contacts but don't find anything. Maybe I should check blocked numbers, I think. I see Frank's name at the top of the list and quickly type out a message.
Hey, I'm finally alone if you're free I'd love to go out with you, I've missed you ♡
I see a message notification pop up immediately.
For you I'm free anytime, meet up in 5? Send me your location.
I start typing and send Frank my location. I open the door to make sure Alex isn't hanging around and once the coast is clear I send my message. I could tell Alex was trying hard to make me remember something but I didn't want to remember. I'm perfectly happy being with Frank again, why would we even break up in the first place it didn't make any sense. I head downstairs to wait for Frank in the hallway. After a few minutes I see a car arrive and Frank waves his hand out the window to let me know it's him. I blush and quickly make my way to the car.
"Just couldn't wait to see me could you?" Frank laughs.
"Of course not you are, well er, were my boyfriend after all..." I trail off.
"I could always be your boyfriend again." Frank smiles and holds my hand. I can't help but feel butterflies, how could I possibly date someone like Alex when Frank was just so perfect. Plus he's not some posh british boy. Frank drives us to a nearby café. Once we walk in I become confused. I feel like I know this place but I can't remember why.
"So what do you want to get, it's on me obviously," Frank asks.
"Um, I'll just get an iced coffee. Thanks." I tell him and leave to find us a table. I automatically turn towards a table near the shop window. The table seems so familiar but I still can't put my finger on why. While we wait for our order Frank catches me up on what he's been through since we, or since he recalls, broke up. Frank hears his name and goes to pick up our order. As soon as I drink from my coffee I slightly remember being here with Alex.
"Hey are you okay, does your head still hurt?" I hear Frank asks as he sees my comfused face.
"No, no I'm okay I just remembered that I came here with Alex once I think. I don't know I might be wrong." I tell him still confused.
Frank looks slightly panicked but immediately goes back to normal and continues flirting with me. I forget about what I just remember and push it aside to keep having a good time with Frank. As Frank is talking I hear my phone ring and see I got a message.
I hope you've gotten rest love I'm headed back to the flat now xx.
Shit.
"Frank I'm so sorry I have to go Alex is on his way back to the apartment." I say panicked.
"It's okay calm down we'll make it in time I promise. Plus we always have tomorrow to hang out." He tells me winking. We make our way back to the car and Frank speeds to the apartment. After about 3 heart attacks over Frank's reckless driving we make it to the apartment. I quickly thank Frank and hurry to the elevator. I make it to the door and hope Alex hasn't arrived yet. I go in and look around but don't see Alex so I rush into the room and quickly lay on the bed. As I finish going under the covers I hear the door open. I hear Alex call out my name and I yell "bedroom," to let him know where I am.
"Well rested love?" He asks me.
"It was a bit hard for me to sleep but at least my body got rest," I reply. Alex seems happy with my reply and I'm glad he's buying my lies.
"So love I was thinking, I know you got injured during one of practices but, I think if you attended our make up concert tomorrow you might remember something?" Alex asks me hopefully.
"Oh well I don't know, I'm still um kind of scared of concerts and stages so yeah," I lie.
"That's alright then, I'm not going to force you to do something you're not comfortable with. I'm going to get freshened up try sleeping alright," Alex tells me before grabbing some clothes and leaving the room. Once I see him leave I type out a message to Frank,
Hey, told Alex I couldn't go to his concert tomorrow pick me up again? ;)
I set my phone down on the nightstand and go to sleep so I can avoid talking to Alex until tomorrow.
Alex POV
Once I'm finished with my shower I go back into the room and see y/n is asleep. She looks so cute cuddled up in the blankets. I notice her phone on her nightstand and I see it light up, I know I shouldn't check it but my curiosity gets the better of me. I see it's a text and I become livid when I see who it's from. I read the text
Don't worry about that loser :P I'll make sure I save you when he goes off to play, he's clearly not worried about your health. See you tomorrow xofrnk
My hands are practically shaking by the time I finish reading the message. Of course I care about y/n that asshole had to have known we cancelled our concert and had to reschedule it. There was no way I was going to let him get away with stealing y/n from me, I'll make sure of it.
Normal POV
I woke up to rays of sunshine hitting my face. I grabbed my phone and checked my notifications. I read the text that Frank left me last night and let him know his plan sounds great. I walk into the kitchen and Alex greets me,
"Sleep well? Listen I was thinking, I know you said you didn't want to go to the concert tomorrow but, if I let Frank come with you will you come?"
"Yeah, actually that would make me feel better," I say shocked.
"Perfect, then hurry up and eat breakfast I want to take you somewhere before it's time for the concert." Alex says getting up and exiting the kitchen. As soon as he leaves I send a text to Frank,
Hey Alex is insisting I go to the concert. Can't cancel :P but he said u can come, see u there ♡
Frank replies an okay and I hurry to get ready for whatever Alex has planned. Once I'm done I meet him by the door.
"So, what's the plan for today?" I ask.
"Trust me love you'll see." Alex says smiling at me.
We head out the door and to his car. The drive isn't long and we're parked outside what seems to be like a venue.
"What are we doing here I thought the concert was later?" I say confused.
"The concert is late I just eant to see something, come ahead." Alex says.
He grabs my hand and leads me into the alley.
"Alex why the fuck are you bringing me here, what are you going to do?" I ask bewildered.
"Hush and come love, I swear it's nothing bad."
He stops us when we reach a dumpster and says nothing.
"I know it's not the same one I took you to on our first date but maybe the dumpster alone will help you remember." Alex says cheerfully.
Alright I'm out of here, I think before turning and heading back to the car. Alex looks heartbroken when he gets back into the car but soon enough he gets another idea. Our next stop is what seems to be a ferris wheel. He takes us on a ride hoping I would remember something but everything is all the same. At the end of it all I remember nothing and it's time for us to head to the venue. We head inside and I see Frank already waiting for me there. I can't help but rush to him and hug him. Alex seems mad but he's the one that thought to invite Frank so he can't complain.
"Hey I missed you," I whisper to him.
"I missed you too babe," Frank replies emphasizing the word "babe" a little too much. I look at him confused before realizing how angry Alex is. He's gripping the microphone so hard his knuckles are practically the color of porcelain.
"I've had enough get your grimey hands of my girl!" Alex yells before throwing his microphone in Frank's direction. Before it can hit Frank he ducks and instead the microphone hits me. I see Alex's face of shock before I stumble and fall to a sit.
"Now look at what you've done!" Frank yells angrily.
"This is all you fault if you hadn't moved it wouldn't ave hit her!" Alex yells back.
"...Alex?" I whisper at him.
"Yes love what is it? Are you alright, I'm terribly sorry I hit you I meant to-" I cut Alex's rambling off,
"I remember everything."
Alex's eyes grow wide before Frank speaks up asking,
"Everything?"
"Of course Frankie, I remember everything about our relationship," I say back just a little too sweet.
Frank looks relieved for a second before I say,
"Everything including you fucking cheating on me with Jamia."
Frank's eyes grow wide and he tries to explain,
"Babe that was a long time ago, listen I've changed we can try us again you can forget about Alex."
"No Frank you should forget about me and go running back to your Jamia, unless of course you cheated on her too," I huff out angrily. Frank doesn't know what to reply and before he can even think of something Alex has him kicked out. As security escort him out he turns around and says,
"I'll make sure you never forget me y/n"
I immediately try to forget him and focus my attention back on Alex. He's grinning ear to ear and before I even say anything Alex grabs my face and goes in for a kiss. When he pulls away I'm blushing like crazy and we both laugh. The band cheers behind us and they all go up to perform. Before Alex goes on stage he gives me another quick kiss. The concert goes amazing and before they go into their encore song I hear Alex say "there's a special someone that means the world to me, I know she's watching me right now and I'd just like to tell her how much I adore her." At the end of the show I'm in tears and I can't contain my happiness as Alex comes up and hugs me. We make our way back home and crash onto the bed together. After everything bad that's happened things couldn't be more perfect.
