Return To Me, My Love

Chapter Sixty One

A month later Frank has been home another two times, each time having organised therapy sessions and the last time, two days ago, he could only come back for just over twenty four hours, telling me it was worth it just to see me. In the last month I have applied for countless jobs, getting a few interviews but nothing coming from it and I have almost used all my savings, Frank having started to deposit money into my bank account and it's way more than I need so it takes the pressure off the lack of job. I'm laying around on the couch watching tv while Pete and Mikey move around the apartment packing up bags to go away for the weekend and when they're done Mikey comes in and asks if I'm sure I'll be fine alone for the weekend. "Yes, get out of here, I'm sick of looking at you" I tell him, my voice playful so he knows I'm joking and he smiles before sitting on the edge of the couch and leaning down to hug me, pulling away a few seconds later and after he and Pete leave Frank calls me, telling me how bored he is on the bus heading for Chicago for their show tomorrow. "Aww babe that's terrible" I tell him when he stops whining and he laughs before changing the subject, telling me how much he wishes he could see me and how he hopes the next week and a half flies by so he can come back and spend a few days at home with me again. After we hang up I try to focus on the tv again but my mind is too busy making plans and before I know it I'm up off the couch, hurrying into the bedroom and starting up my laptop, checking flights to Chicago and I see there's one leaving in two hours, my fingers flying over the keyboard as I enter my details and pay for a ticket before I quickly close the laptop and grab a bag, running around the room and shoving clothes into it before I grab my stuff and race out of the apartment, getting a cab to the airport and smiling wide to myself the whole ride there, thinking about how only an hour ago Frank and I were on the phone and he has no idea about my last minute plan.

When I finally land in Chicago four hours later I make my way outside and grab a cab, telling the driver the hotel I know the guys are staying in and when I go inside I give the receptionist the fake name Frank uses, her face pulling into a strange look as she puts the details into the computer. "And you are sir?" She asks, glancing back up at me and just as I go to open my mouth to tell her I hear my name being called hesitantly from behind me and when I turn I see Ian standing across the lobby from me. "What are you doing here?" Ian asks, his voice going hard again and I step away from the reception desk towards him as I say "I wanted to surprise Frank and...." "Well he's not here right now" Ian spits at me and I feel my heart drop as I glance down at my feet before looking back up and saying "I can wait for him then," walking over towards the couch on the other side of the lobby as I feel my stomach clench painfully at how much Ian hates me and as I step past him he turns and heads towards the elevators, muttering "Whatever" to himself. Ten minutes later I am still sitting in the lobby, my bag laying at my feet when the couch shifts beside me and I glance up to see Ian sitting beside me. "So you're gonna come back and cause more tour drama?" He spits at me, not giving me a chance to respond before he continues with "Haven't you caused enough problems?" My mouth drops open, my stomach clenching even tighter as I feel my eyes prick with tears and I take a shaky breath before saying "I never meant to cause any problems and...." My voice going wobbly with every word and I feel the first tear roll down my cheek as my control breaks, Ian's face softening a little. "I know I fucked things up, a lot, but I didn't.....it wasn't my intention to...." I stutter out, more tears rolling down my cheeks at the knowledge that my best friend for so long hates me so much. "Fuck I know Gee, but you broke my heart and...." Ian starts, our eyes locking and I see the sadness in them that he's trying to cover with the anger. "I know, and it kills me" I cut him off to say, sniffling before saying "I've missed you so much, you're my best friend....were my best friend and it's been so hard without you." "Gee, I don't know if I can be your friend anymore, I just don't see how it would work" Ian tells me and I feel my heart crack, the small piece of me that hoped things could be okay dying.

Ian and I remain silent as we sit side by side, my tears stopping and when I glance over at him again I see his mask of anger is gone and the hurt he's been hiding is more than obvious. "I'm sorry" I tell him softly and Ian nods before telling me he needs to go, having stuff to do and a few minutes after he leaves I hear a familiar voice and my head snaps up towards the entrance where I see Frank and his manager coming into the lobby, carrying on their conversation until halfway across to the elevator Frank pauses and his eyes widen when he sees me. "Babe" he calls out as he rushes over towards me and I stand, stepping forward into his arms and burying my face in his neck but Frank pulls back a second later to look at me. "What happened? What's wrong?" He asks, my eyes still red and puffy and I try to force a smile as I shake my head and say "Nothing, I'm ok." "No baby, what happened?" Frank says as he frowns further and I bite my bottom lip before saying "I had a talk with Ian." "Oh babe" Frank sighs before letting me go and taking my hand, waiting while I lean down to grab my bag before he leads me across to the elevator, telling me "Come up to my room and we can talk about it."

Three hours later Frank and I are laying on his hotel bed, my head resting on his chest as he holds me close, his shirt still slightly damp under my cheek from my tears. "I hate to see you so upset" Frank whispers as his hand strokes up and down my back and as I open my mouth to respond I'm cut off by a knock on the door and Franks manager calls out "Half an hour call for the venue" and as we hear his footsteps move down the hallway we sit up, Franks hand reaching out to cup my cheek and he leans in and presses his lips to mine before we climb off the bed and start getting ready to leave. The show passes quickly, the guys sounding amazing and trying out two new songs I haven't heard yet and in all the excitement of the show and the bustle backstage I push Ian to the back of my mind and find myself having a good time. Half an hour after the guys come off stage they head outside to sign autographs and a few minutes after they leave the door opens again and Ian comes back in, walking straight over to me. "Ian, I....." I start but I'm cut off by Ian reaching out and grabbing two fistfuls of my shirt, pulling me up off the couch and I clench my eyes shut, bracing myself to get hit but I'm shocked when I feel warm wet lips collide with my own.

Okay okay, now Ian is seeming like a proper asshole! And now I have no idea who to ship for, I liked the idea of Ian cause he was different from frank, but now I'm back on the Frank side! Maan, maybe even Bert may have a chance here! Thanks for keeping me guessing lol :) <3

I had to catch up on the new chapters, I missed this story so much !

Mikey is a bit annoying seriously like he's making Frank seem bad but honestly Gee is just being immature about Frank's job and all.
At the same time I feel bad for him too because of Ian's shitty
behavior.
Hope Frank and G will be okay

Love the drama, ahaha

Poor Gee...Ian needs to back the fuck off!

I can see Gee's point and he SHOULD be a priority for Frank but Frank can't walk away from his livelihood. UGH! I know drama drives a story but PLEASE don't let IAN screw things up for Gee. He's been through so much. Frank does need to realize Gee's position. Glad it's not me writing this...but I LOVE reading it.
