Aaww, thank you! You're too kind as always! I understand that desire to want to hate a character, but not being able to. Frank's just a normal guy, who makes mistakes just like everyone else but he's trying his best, which is something most of us can relate to. But of course, Gerard is also an awesome guy! Who would want to have to choose between them! The next chapter is gonna be tense, I won't lie. Grace's position certainly isn't enviable, no doubt about it. I'm afraid this won't be ending like 'Three is a Crowd', even though part of me wants to end it like that. I actually struggled over how to end this for a long time, I kept on dithering on what direction for this to take. Even when I finally decided, I still felt a little sad :(

Yay! I'm doing my job properly then! Thanks hun!

Hello again! I'm sorry for not commenting in a while, so lets get right into it! Can I just begin by saying that I love your mind? Like honestly, holy crap how you manage to come up with such amazing story lines, plot twists, intricate characters, and cliff hangers is just mind blowing!! Just like many chapters before this I'm left feeling nervous after reading this, I know I said I hoped Frank went out searching for Grace in my last comment but gosh darn it I was the ONE THING I hope he didn't do while reading this chapter! My heart aches when it comes to Frank's role in this story and the fact that he was out all night searching for her just makes what Grace - might - say all the worse for me to handle, I feel like it's a train wreck waiting to happen...Like you bluntly said to me before, Grace did cheat on Frank and there's no way around that. After Grace having told Frank about Nick there isn't really anything else she can use as cover up for what's going to be said the next morning. I hated Frank so much in this chapter, but let me explain why. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SUCH A SWEET GUY?! BE A JERK FRANK! GOD DAMN IT!!!! Had Frank been a jerk to Grace it would make what Grace eventually telling him about Gerard SO much easier but the fact that Frank said "I wasn't rejecting you! I just wanted us to talk, instead of papering over the cracks." just killed me, he's a genuinely sweet guy who honestly does care for Grace and it's slowly but surly killing me knowing what one of the possible roads their morning conversation can go down on. On another note, back to everything with Gerard, holy crap! My feels are shattered by this point. I want Grace to fix things with Frank but I want her to be with Gerard...can this just turn in the direction of 'Three Is A Crowd'? (Which is probably one of my favorite stories ever by the way, actually scratch that ALL of your stories are my favorites. I fangirl over your stories a lot to my friends. Hahaha...sorry I'm getting off topic.) Unfortunately that's probably not going to happen so I can officially say, my feels are broken. Gerard just seemed so vulnerable before Grace left and I could practically FEEL the love radiating of my computer screen!! I'm so confused and terrified for the morning conversation!!! Once again amazing chapter and I can't wait to see what happens next!! xxx

Ahh this story makes me feel all the feels!

Maybe my ghost will...? You don't know...

NNNNOOO! *Resuscitates* Who will beta my chapters if you leave me?

Suddenly his arms were on my waist and lips were grazing my shoulders softly, which was more comforting in nature than sexual. Accepting that I had to go home, and wanting to go, were two different things, and the closer I got to it, the more I shook with fear.

and

“Where were you? I was looking everywhere for you, I was so fucking worried.”

He didn’t wait for me to give him an answer before he pulled me into his arms, squeezing me tightly. I held in the tears that threatened to fall, and let his arms embrace me so tightly it was hard to breathe.

“Where were you?” he asked, his voice tight with suppressed emotion.

“I went to a friend.” I didn’t elaborate any further.

“I was so fucking worried,” he repeated, more to himself than anything else. I could feel his heart pounding in his chest, and his breathing was still a little uneven.

really killed me!

My heart! And my feels! You don't even know!!!! *dies*

@ Lyra
Now I'm super excited to the point where I'm having butterflies!!!! I cannot wait to see what happens next and my heart is actually aching for Frankie right now...ugh my feels!!! I'm super excited but also scared to see what happens next!! Only you can do this to me you evil genius!!!

@ BeAZombieLikeMe
Grace's confidence is completely shattered at this point, she can't really see any good in herself. She just needs to start seeing that she's worth something again. Her and Gerard sleeping together is partially a good thing from that point of view, but as with everything there are consequences, which we'll see in the next chapter. There's no technically about it; she did cheat on Frank, and if Frank finds out he will be hurt. Grace's perception of things may not be the same as Frank's. She can't help but see everything in a negative light right now. The next chapter will explain what Frank was doing while Grace was with Gerard. And I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I was dying to write this chapter since the beginning. Hehehe.

Sooooo....*tries to remain calm* that happened...*squeals* FLUCK IT! AHHHH I'M SO HAPPY AND TORN RIGHT NOW!! LIKE HOLY CRAP I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL!!!!! Okay let's start from the top. I was actually kind of surprised Grace went to Gerard, even if unconsciously, I thought maybe they'd run into each other or something but this was perfect. I was honestly really happy Gerard didn't shut her out and actually let her upstairs. I was getting really upset with Grace, not in the instance that I was angry and her but actually saddened by her process of thinking, it upset me when she made herself seem like a smudge in other people's lives when they chose to be there with/for her. She isn't broken, she's gone through far too much but like Gerard said, she was strong enough to still be here today. I agree with Gee, as much as I love Frank and can see how much he cares for her Frank shouldn't have been so hung up on her past. Frank was Grace's rock though everything and now I feel like he's being picked up and swept away by the current of things when I thought he was stronger then that. I do agree, Grace feels as though everything is spinning out of control and she has no real say in anything without making it all worse, but I was actually happy when she and Gerard did the jiggy for two reasons. 1) She made the conscious decision with full control of being able to say no. 2) She now is more than ever reassured that there is someone in her life her loves her despite her past. However, I'm worried about what's going to happen next. I mean she did technically cheat on Frank and now has given into Gerard's feelings for her. I don't know if Grace is ready to leave Frank and is she isn't what the hell is going to happen with Gerard in all this? I do wonder if Frank had gone looking for her or stayed home waiting for her, I'm really curious as to see how things pan out after such a heart warming yet drastic event in Grace is life. I wonder how she'll feel about everything in the morning...amazing chapter once again, I cannot wait to see what happens next and I CANNOT STOP GRINNING OVER THE LAST SCENE!!! You're awesome. I love giving you feed back and I get all fangirly when you reply. *Cheesy grin* xx

I was wondering if they would eventually do this. I hope Grace doesn't end up regretting this because she will hurt Gerard again and alienate Frank more once she tells him. This could get messy.

@ Lyra
*hugs*

@ pixiewayro
Aaaww, I'll give you a hug and fix you again! *hugs*

I'm glad you enjoyed it hun!

I did, I did, I did, I did!!!! Hehehe but that's because we sometimes think alike! ;)

Anyway... YUMMY!!!! This chapter was wow! She thought of her issues rationally, in some strange way... And then Gerard was being a total sweetie, and then the absolutely scorching scene...

Like I mentioned earlier, I believe you broke me a bit! =D

I just... *flails*

@ Frozen December Moon
I agree, it would be best if they took a break. But people don't always know what's best for them!

@ Harley91594
It's up now! hehe

@ BeAZombieLikeMe
I think you're right, it would have eased the tension a little, or at least helped Grace with her insecurities. Grace is in a fragile state though, and her perception of Frank's reactions may not always be accurate. Grace does love Frank, and Frank does love her. They've hit a bad patch where they're trying to reevaluate their roles in the relationship, and they're so-named for a reason. (and yeah, I loved writing how they met). I really hope you like the next one (which is up now)

P.S. Sorry for posting the same review twice my computer is being annoying :/

OH. MY. LORDY LORD!!! My heart was beating against my rib cage when Grace mentioned that it was time to communicate, I thought she'd tell Frank and that scared the hell out of me because I knew that it was NOT the right time to do so. At all. On another note I felt as if had Grace and Frank done the 'no pants dance' (I couldn't think of another way to put it for some reason) maybe it could have helped break some of the deafening tension between them, after all actions speak louder than words, and on that note when Frank stopped her I literally felt my heart drop. I understand that what had happened to Grace is a horrible thing however when Frank stopped her and if he really had looked at her in the way Grace described then it shouldn't be too bad for me to say that I was honestly angry at him. Actions often do speak louder than words and Frank stopping her was screaming. I can completely understand that Grace would want to be alone after that but another part of me wants Frank to chase after her, while a whole other side of me wants her to go to Gerard while another (I'm a person of many parts, apparently) doesn't want her to go to Gerard in fear he'd read into her doing so far too much. I honestly hope Frank just stopped her because he needed to pee or something. On another note, I was also extremely worried, if Frank was indeed the one who always had the answers I would feel as Grace would feel at the horrifying fact that at this time he didn't have the answers. Its been made clear that Grace honestly does love Frank (if the first portion of this chapter is anything to go by, which was A-FRICKING-DORABLE about how they met) but I couldn't be with someone who saw me as a 'victim' and Grace had been everything she could her whole life to avoid being seen in that light and yet here she is, being seen as the one thing she never wanted to be seen as by the one person she never wanted looking at her that way. I'm excited and scared to see what happens next. This chapter was amazing but also a slap in the face for me but I'm willing to sit through another beating to see what happens next!! Once again amazing job!! xxx

That was intense! I will patiently wait for the next chapter because I wanna know what you are excited about sharing.

Maybe Grace and Frank should take a break before things get messy.

@ BeAZombieLikeMe
You're so right about Grace being better off alone right now. And also, she should have seen Gerard's growing affection, but she didn't want to, because he was providing something Frank wasn't. Frank just doesn't know what to do right now, but that's not entirely his fault either. I disagree that he's let her down. Grace needs someone to blame, and Frank's there, but how could he protect her from a danger he doesn't know exists? He's gonna be upset if he finds out about Gerard, but he may take it better than Grace imagines. Who knows? (Well, I do, but still :p)

@ Harley91594
It's appreciated all the same my dear. Comments make such a big difference, and it's always lovely to see them!

@ Frozen December Moon
Yeah, Gerard isn't nice when he's angry :-/
