In The Mourning

Part Nineteen

I was walking with Frank to his car when I heard a girl's voice calling Frank's name. When I looked behind, I saw a girl about my height. She was wearing shorts with pantyhose and a almost sheer top. Her face was to die for. She had auburn hair to match her perfect skin tone. Even though it was dark, I could see her face perfectly.

"So the news is true. You are dating Manhattan", she chuckled sarcastically.

I was confused as hell but before I could ask...

"No wonder you stopped calling me. You found someone else to sleep with", she added.

My heart instantly dropped into the pit of my stomach, along with my jaw. I looked at Frank in disbelief. I wasn't sure if she was telling the truth but from Frank's reaction, I didn't need any explanation. He looked like a deer caught in headlights.

"Blair, I can explain", he said. He was almost begging for his life.

"You know what, Frank. It looks like the two of you need to talk. I'll find myself a ride home", I told him off.

My whole body felt hot and I just walked away from the two of them. Frank was 'smart' enough to not come after me. I was aimlessly walking in the parking lot before a car pulled up in front of me. It was Mikey.

"Need a ride, B?", he asked.

I took a deep breath and nodded. I climbed into Mikey's car and sat in there for a while. Mikey looked at me and offered another cup of coffee.

"Are you okay? I am not going to ask what happened. I just want to know if you're okay.", Mikey asked.

I shook my head and took a sip of the coffee.

"Was he seeing someone before he met me?"

Mikey bit his lower lip and let out a heavy sigh, like he was carrying the weight of the world.

"I am not sure if I am the person who you should be talking about this to", he simply replied.

His answer made my gut twisted in a knot. I didn't have to ask. Of course he was seeing someone! Mikey already gave me few hints when I first met them but I never looked twice into it. I just.. ignored.

I cupped my head with my two hands and kept on mumbling how stupid I was to believe Frank.

"Look, Blair. If you want to know the truth. You should talk to him. Get some explanation from him. There's no point asking any of us. Talk to him. Okay?", Mikey said.

"Can you send me home, please Mikey? I just need to clear my head for a while", I said.

Mikey agreed and gave me a ride home. We were halfway there when Frank called but I didn't pick up. I was confused and angry but more to angry. At myself and at Frank. At myself for trusting him too much and at him, for making me feel like this.

After he dropped me off, I dived into my bed and let my thoughts play with my head. Frank didn't even bother to find me. I was thinking all of the possibilities. Maybe he dumped her before he met me. Maybe he was still screwing the girl when we were getting to know each other. Maybe... fuck. All these maybe's are driving me insane.

The next morning, I woke with (still) no calls from Frank. I wanted to call him and ask what was up but I decided to put things aside.

"Your boyfriend made quite an impact to our foundation, Blair", daddy said.

"What do you mean?"

"After their show last night.. Few other bands wanted to be a part of our organization. Someone called us and they wanted to make a nationwide concert to collect more money for our foundation", mummy replied.

Mummy looked more than impressed. It was the first time she talked almost highly of Frank.

"Oh..", that was all I could say.

"How are you classes, Blair?", daddy asked.

"I just got back from International Marketing and Business Statistics class. So many assignments, so little time. I want to go upstairs and do my papers."

To be honest, I was really upset. I kept on looking at my phone ever half an hour to see if there's any incoming calls but none from him. Each text I get, I kept on wishing it was from him. I wanted to text one of the guys and ask what was going on but I figured what's the point of me chasing after him, especially right now.

It had been two days now and still no words from Frank. At this point, I was more angry than worried about him. I was angry that he just ignored me like I don't mean anything to him. I was angry that he just dropped me just like that but I forced myself not to cry. Especially after seeing his effort. I decided not to care anymore but I miss him.. A lot.

Classes were as usual. I had two midterms and a quiz this week. So pushing Frank into a deep corner of my mind was something I just had to do. I need to focus. After I sat for my last mid term paper, I submitted two essays for Economics and waited outside for the chauffeur but instead of the chauffeur, Frank's car pulled up in front of my university entrance. He looked scruffy than usual. He looked messed up.

"We need to talk", he said.

That four word dropped my heart again, just like the night I had that unusual encounter with her.

"No, Frank. You ignored me for three days and what? Now you wanna talk? Just save it okay.", I replied.

"Just don't be so damn stubborn, Blair. I already told your parents that I am picking you up today. Get it, please", he replied.

I already had a long day so I didn't want to waste my energy to argue over this. So I just got into in car. We didn't talk in the car. It was pin-dropped silence. Frank stopped at the front of my house and looked at me. He was about to say something when I cut him off.

"Can we talk inside? I had a long day and my parents aren't home. We can shout at each other or ignore each other for three days. If that's what you want", I said sarcastically.

Frank rolled his eyes and turned off the engine. He followed me like a lost puppy into the house. We sat in the living area and I just stared at him. He looked really uncomfortable. He kept on fiddling with his fingers and occasionally rubbing the back of his head.

"Are you going to explain?", I finally asked.

"Blair, before I tell you anything. I just want you to know that I lo-"

"Just explain to me, Frank!", I cut him off. I didn't wait for three days for this bullshit.

"The girl that I met the other day.. she is pregnant"
