Chapter 10: I Love You

The so called date, had gone better than I thought, but Danny and her boyfriend had to go and ruin it all.

Why was she even there?

No one invited her. She didn't know me, but I knew her. Sean would always talk about her, how she made up his life. That hurt.

It really hurt when he told me that, I thought I was suppose to be the light of his world, but that was back then.

I have to admit, I really miss Sean.

It's been a week since the date, and we haven't talked since then. I've been ignoring everyone lately.

Skylar, Cameron, my family, just because I'm stressed out that Sean hasn't called yet.

I didn't even have the energy to walk up the stairs to my room, instead I slept on the coach.

I had the urge to use the bathroom, but didn't feel like getting up. So I got Brian to lift me there; that's what brothers are for.

"Thanks." I whisper in his ear, while he was giving me piggy back ride to the front door of the bathroom.

"Are you like, okay?" He drops me down to the ground.

"What makes you think that?" I smile sheepishly up at him.

"You look like you're high on crack right now. Seriously it's that bad." He ruffles my hair before walking off back to his man cave.

I slowly close the door, and slide down onto the ground.

Closing my eyes before opening them again. And that's when I saw it.

There on the mirror, of our family bathroom, was sticking notes placed into the shape of a heart. Sean.

When? What? Where?Why? Importantly how?

Anyone in my family could have walked into this bathroom right now and would have seen it.

But how did he know I was coming in here?

The cameras, you doofus. Duh.

But the cameras wouldn't have done a thing at all. He would have to plan out when we wouldn't be home, and what times Brian uses the bathroom.

I mean it. Brian pisses like six times a day. Is that even normal? I'm not a boy, so I wouldn't know.

I stand up from my seat on the floor, and head towards the mirror.

On each sticky note, was a a quote or a small saying. Something like 'I miss you', 'One way to show you what you mean to me'.

But the one in the very center of the heart, is what stopped my own heart for a minute.

I gently remove the note and stare at it for what seems like forever.

'I love you'

I love you? Man that's deep. A little too deep.

I'm snapped out of my trance when I hear Brian pounding on the door.

"Franny! Hurry up in there, I have to take a piss!"

I quickly remove down all the sticky notes and stick them into my pocket, before opening the door.

"Calm down pee pants." I shove past him.

"Woah, sounds like someone's on their period!" He yells back at me, but I keep walking, walking until my feet lead me to the phone.

I stand there staring back at the phone, as if we were having a staring contest.

I feel someone's presence on me.

"Sweetie?" Oh good, it's just dad." What are you doing? It looks like you're trying to melt the phone with you're eyes." He chuckles at his own joke.

"No, I'm just waiting for a call."

"From who?" Man, I can't tell him I'm seeing Sean. I have to tell him the truth though.

"Um, um, it's Sean." I try to make my voice sound small as possible.

"Sean? You're seeing Sean?" By the look of his face he didn't seem angry. "Why didn't you tell your mother and I?"

"I just didn't, ok. That's where I was last week. Sean took me out to IHOP so we could talk."

"Really?"

"Yes dad, that's all." He could sense my annoyance.

"Whatever you say, but just know that I'm telling your mother and that we're going to meet Sean. I have a few things I want to talk to him about too."

And off he went, out the door, into his car, and down the street.

I jump at the sudden ring of the phone. I'm not sure if I should pick it up, maybe he knew I was going to call him.

I grab the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Franny." It's him, thank goodness." Did you see my artwork?"
The tone of his voice was happy.

"Yeah, but how did you do it? You know Brian, he uses the toilet like seven times a day."

"I remember everyone going to the family room, and that was good enough for me, besides you guys were in there for three hours. I guess you guys were watching a movie."

No duh Sherlock. You have cameras, of course you knew we were watching a movie.

"Um, Sean?" I have to tell him about what dad said.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"It's my dad. He, he wants to talk to you." Silence. "Sean, you still there?"

"Is it about the cameras? Did you tell him? Is he there right now?"

"Woah, slow down there buddy. I didn't tell him about your stalking and he's not here right now." I hear him let out a sigh of relief. "I just told him about our date thingy."

"Oh, ok. Hey Franny?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm coming over."

"What?! You can't. Brian's here." He had already hanged up the phone.

He never lets me finish.

"Franny, I'm going over to a friend's house, you good by yourself?" Brian comes behind me.

"Yeah totally. You go, I'll be fine." I reply a little too quickly.

"Okay, Bye." And then he also leaves leaving me all alone, but Sean's coming.

He's coming. I can't believe it, it's been three years since I've actually seen Sean in my house, but he's been in this house more than I know about.

I have to get ready. Now.
