Okay, so I usually don't like it when author's leave notes but I kinda have to. Someone *not naming who* gave me some shit about the last chapter, they said Frankie and Gerard were ass wholes for leaving her alone after they promised to protect her; so I'm gonna break it down.
Frankie knew in advance that Gerard was gonna be with her, that's why he wasn't with her, and in the next chapter he'll be back being really protective, .
Gerard locked the door before he left, but Rick picked the lock, after Gerard was gone.
And she was only left alone for maybe an hr at the most.
I hope this clears some stuff up if you hated Frankie and Gerard after the last chapter
