Frankie:

This is it. I'm finally leaving my excuse of a home. It was about two days after the incident and I haven't been back to school yet. Actually, no one has. Alice got her stuff from her place while Jared was at school and drove back to our new home and everyone else already practically lived here so I was the only one who needed to get my stuff. Me and Gerard were on our way now to my house to get my stuff, which isn't that much. I've heard that my mom disappeared after me and Gee left and the house was now mine. I don't know what I will do with it though.

"Earth to short-shit. Come in short-shit."

"Ugh, leeme alerne gerd, I werna slerp."

"No can do Frankie boy, we gotta go get your stuff and it's already eight thirty. Come on, I got coffee and pancakes."

"I'm up!"

"Good, now let's go."

Gerard threw a misfits shirt, black skinny jeans, and a pair of batman boxers at me and left. I changed out of my boxers and got into the clothes. Gerard's shirt no doubt, I could swim in this thing for crying out loud. I applied some eyeliner and fixed my fringe to a more appealing style and walked out of the room. I wasn't watching where I was going and ran right into Alice and Bob. Alice was wearing a purple turtle neck but I could still see a hickey on her neck, it looked fresh.

"Have a good night Allie?"

"What are you talking about Frank?"

"You may be wearing the turtle, but I can still see your raging hickey and disheveled hair."

"We did nothing of the sort shorty."

"Bob! You guys know it's not my fault for being vertically challenged!"

"Who's saying stuff about my Frankie being vertically challenged? I happen to find short people very arousing."

"Nice fetish Gee-bear."

"Shut up Bryar."

"That's not what your mom said last night Gerard."

"Ohhhh, he got you there Gee-Gee."

"Whatever, come on Frankie, we gotta go now if you want to get your stuff today."

"Okay babe."

We walked outside, skipping breakfast, which was alright because I can just eat later, and we drove to my place. I still don't really like coming here, but one day I will be happy to come here, when I fix this place up to the point where it isn't falling apart.

"Are you sure you can do this baby?"

"I'm sure, just wait, here, I don't have that much stuff anyways."

"Okay babe."

I walked up to the door. Here goes nothing. I unlocked the door and walked inside. It looked the same as I had left it, but it won't be like this for long. I plan on coming back later on today to clean up this place. Gerard wants to come too, so I may bring him. I walked up the very familiar stairs to my room. It looked so small now. I spent my entire life here and now it seems so distant. I shook the thoughts out of my head and grabbed my bags. I started filling them with clothes that would last me a few weeks and my CD's, and some other stuff I would want or need, including my makeup and bracelets.

I take one last look at my room to make sure I have everything, and walk down the hall to my mom's room. The door was open and the room was surprisingly clean. I've never been in here but I know why I'm here. My mom, before she turned into a drunk, told me that there was a safe in her room behind a picture of her and dad that held over a thousand dollars and that if anything ever happened, the key would be what she held most dearly to her heart. I don't know what it is or how much money is left in the safe,but it's worth a try.

I walked over to the painting and took it down, I would be keeping this. I tried everything. Coke, drugs, booze, even our old dog Cookie. None of them worked. Come on Frank, think. Aha! That's it! I put the code in, it happened to be my dad's name, Terry. I opened the safe and inside was something I didn't think I would see. Not only was there at least $700 in the safe, but there was my mom and dad's wedding rings, my birth certificate, and every card I have ever given my mother. There was also something else. A white envelope that said my name. I opened it. Inside, there was a letter to me. What it said surprised me.

Dear Franklin, If you are reading this then that mean that you have found out the code to the safe. I wrote this letter to you so that you know why I left. When I woke up after Gerard knocked me out, I realized how horrible I was to you all of these years and I cannot express how sorry I am. I know you will never forgive me for doing those things to you so I have left for Florida to stay out of your lives. I know that you and Gerard will be happy, even though he may have been your bully, I could see in his eyes that he loves you. Never let him go baby, and never let them take the lights beneath your eyes.
Love always, Mom.

Oh God, she did care. She just never said it because she was afraid that she would hurt me even more. wait, what's this? Something dropped on the floor. I picked it up and I instantly started to tear up. It was a picture of me, my father, and my mom before my dad left. God, I missed them. My mom may have been a bitch, but I still loved her. I really missed my dad too. Why did he leave?

"Frankie? Are you okay?"

"Yeah Gee, I'm fine. Let's just go."

"Okay baby."

We left the house and drove home.

Notes

Yay! I made Frankie's mom a good guy! Someone from Frank's past will come back but who is it? His dad? An ex? His Mom? Or all three? Anyways, I love you my lovely lovelies. Goodnight, and sweet nightmares. <3
