Stick By Me, I'll Stick By You

“Here we are. Go grab your things.” Frank said with a soft smile. Oh God I was so stupid to forget about my extra course! I couldn’t miss that even just for once because it’ll affect all of the extra credits I need for college. I ran to my room and grabbed my dance attire. After that, I quickly ran back to my front door, where Frank was waiting. “Okay, I’m all set. Let’s go!” I grabbed his hand and he led me the way to the course.

When I arrived, I was late by a couple minutes. I took a peek inside the studio, to find the strictest trainer inside. I ran straight to the dressing room and changed to my attire. It was a ballet class so I had to struggle with tights, a leotard, and pointe shoes. Then I tie my hair up in a bun and ran into the studio, without even saying anything to Frank. I felt bad for him but I couldn’t do anything about it. I just hoped he’s not mad about it.

“Miss Way, you know our policies here. One more tardiness and it will affect your grades.” Mrs. Wolfe said sternly. “I know, Mrs. Wolfe. I’m very sorry.” She just slightly nodded and continued teaching. I warmed up and stretched quickly so I could catch up with the training. I took a peek outside the studio to find Frank sitting in the front bench alone. Damn it, I hate making people wait. He probably hated me now.

Every now and then I took a glance outside, and he was still waiting. After a couple minutes, I looked again and he was not there. Great, he left. Good job, Lou. I sighed and went back to training, only less energetic. I looked at the clock. 8:26. The class ended not long after, and I lazily changed back to my normal clothes. I guess I’ll walk home alone then, I thought. After I cleaned myself up, I walked to the front door and found Frank smoking outside. He was still there!

“Hey, Lou! All done?” He flicked his cigarette and hugged me. “Yeah, but...you waited for me?” I looked at him disbelievingly. “Well, yeah. I don’t want you to walk home alone at night. You never know if someone tries to rape you around here. They might even sell your organs to the black market.” He said to me in all seriousness. I stared at him blankly. “You..you think I’d cost a lot?” I replied with the same serious tone. “A fortune.” He smiled smugly then tickled my stomach. “OH HELL NO. ANYTHING BUT TICKLES, PLEASE!!” I ran away from him as he chased me. He caught me and picked me up while we laughed like a maniac.

He dropped me and let me dust myself off. “Hey, look what I got you.” He handed me a plastic bag with a box inside. “I figured you haven’t had dinner yet, so here,” I took it and peeked inside. It was my favorite, mac and cheese. I jumped in glee and hugged him tightly. “Oh Frank! You really didn’t have to do this!” Wow, he bought me dinner while I made him wait for one and a half hour. Gee was right, he was the sweetest guy ever and I think I was falling for him. Yes, I was falling for him after 2 days. “I didn’t, but I wanted to. Plus, you must be starving. Seeing you do those things inside there, the leaps,” “Grand Jeté,” “the turns,” “Pirouettes,” “and all those crazy shit you did, made MY legs hurt.” I rolled my eyes and giggled. “Anyway, it’s getting late. You wanna come over and have dinner at mine?” He gleamed. “I’d love to. Let’s go!” He picked me up and carried me bridal-style. I was laughing like crazy while he did so.

We arrived in front of my doorstep not long after. I was so shocked that he managed to carry me all the way up there. He was panting like crazy and slumped me to the floor. I was still giggling. “Well? Aren’t you gonna open the door now?” He said between pants.”Alright, alright, one second.” I put my hand inside my bag and started rummaging for keys. But then I stopped and gave him a terrified look. “What?” His face dropped. “It’s not in my bag, Frank. My keys, they’re not there.” His eyes widened. “Are you...are you sure? Oh crap...” “Because it’s in my pockeeeet! PSYCH! You should’ve seen the look on your face!” I laughed hysterically as I fumbled with my keys.

He just stared at me blankly and said in all seriousness, “You know, I’m really starting to consider selling your organs now.” I managed to open the door and pranced my way to the living room. “What’s in it for me?” I slumped to the couch and turned the tv on. “NOTHING BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE AND I HATE YOU UGH,” He whined loudly while following me to the couch. “But you like me.” We stared at each other, while still sitting in a very weird position. “I really do.” He smirked and gave me a little kiss. I giggled as we continued the kiss. It still had the spark as the first time, but it was more comfortable this time. He cupped his hand to my cheek and stroked it lightly. I really didn’t know what to do with my hand, so it was pretty awkward.

He noticed that and broke away from the kiss, laughing. “Ugh, shut up. I’m not an expert at this, okay?” I giggled. “It’s okay, it feels like the first awkward kiss that middle-schoolers do.” He shrugged and grinned. “Can I tell you something?” I bit my lip nervously. “Anything.” He leaned to the couch and stared at me, all curious. “That was actually my second kiss ever...” I could feel my cheek burning so I turned away. “Whoa, like, for real? So I was your first kiss? You know, earlier today?” He sat up and his eyes widened. “Pretty much, yeah. I was gonna tell you but I got that stupid phonecall.” I rolled my eyes and he laughed. “Well, do you want your third kiss?” He leaned in to me and kissed me again. I smiled in his lips and kissed him back. Then I felt something brushing against my lower lip, which was his tongue. I flinched in shock, and he broke away immediately. “Whoa! What was that?!” “Shit, sorry Lou, I didn’t mean to--” “Do it again,” He looked at me, confused. “I liked it,” I smirked as he sighed in relief. We went back to making out, and just when things get a little heated, surprise surprise, Gerard decided to come home.

"I'M HOOOOOME! Did you guys have-- Oh shit! Sorry!"
