I'm Melting In Your Eyes

How Long Was I Asleep For?

NORMAL POV

I woke up to being alone on the cot so I got up and walked over to the kitchen. I heard Frank talking to someone so I stopped before I got to the door.
“Shes not doing so well last night she had a dream and she was talking to her father. He was telling her to get out of her house cause her mother is gonna try and kill her. And I said she could stay at my house but she doesn’t want to stay anywhere near her house. So I was wondering if we could talk to your mom and see if she can move in here.” Frank said all I knew is that it was either Mikey or Gerard he was talking to
“Yea when my mom and dad get home well talk to them. They will probably say yes” he said
“Oh yea and she said her dad said to never be alone cause that’s when her mom will try and kill her. So matter what we are gonna have someone with her at all times. Ok” frank said. Thanks Frank make me sound like a crazy person. I figured out it was Gerard. Mikey doesn’t wake up this early unless its for school. Did I mention it was 5 in the morning.
“Ok that sounds good. Ok since its really early in the fucking morning you go back to bed I’ll wake you up when my parents get home” Gerard said
“Ok thanks man” Frank said and I heard him walking toward the door so I ran quickly back to the living room and laid down on the cot and pretended to be asleep. When Frank started to move me I opened my eyes and said

“Hey did I take over the cot”
“No I went to the bathroom did I wake you” he asked
“No not really” I said
“Ok well lets go back to sleep” he said and we cuddled. And finally we both fell asleep. The next time I woke up it was 10. Frank was still asleep so I pushed myself up so Frank could take the whole cot and then I set myself on top of him and just laid on top of him till I felt his fingers rubbing my back. Then I looked at him.

“Hey” is all I said
“Did I wake you” he said again
“No I was just laying here I wanted you to sleep and well I didn’t want to lay on the couch its not as comfy as you are” I said
“Oh well then you can lay on me anytime” Frank said and I kissed him.
We laid there for awhile till Mikey came down. Mr. and Mrs. Way came home a little after noon and they allowed me to live with them till I was able to buy my own apartment. So me and Frank went back to my house and got my close but right as we were leaving my mom threw frank into a closet and started hitting me. I was bruised the last thing I remember was Frank breaking down the door and coming by my side. Then I blacked out. I woke up what seemed like 10 minutes later. In a room that was all white. I was in the hospital. I looked to my right and Frank was there just eating some of the food the nurse brought. I reached over and touched his cheek. He jumped and screamed.

“Sorry. Baby your up and alive. Thank god”
“Frank what are you talking about I blacked out for 10 minutes” I said
“No doll you blacked out for 10 days” he said
“What” is all I could say
“Your mom damaged you pretty bad” he said

FRANKS POV

We went back to Nat’s house to get her things. When we were leaving I was shoved into her clothes. After hearing Natasha scream I finally burst down the door and ran to Nat she was bleeding badly. I called 911 and she went to the hospital. She was unconscious for 3 days so far I stayed with her all the time. I was used to watching her sleep and watching the TV and eating. It has been 7 days and she is still unconscious. I know shes gonna get through this. Every time I would leave I would kiss her forehead and tell her were I was going and when I’d be back. I knew she never heard me but I just wanted her to know. Its now been 10 days and I’m just watching TV and eating the food the nurse brought for me. I felt something touch my cheek and I jumped and screamed and looked at Nat. She was up

“Sorry baby your alive thank god” I said
“Frank what are you talking about I blacked out for 10 minutes” she said
“No doll you blacked out for 10 days” I said
“What” she said she sounded shocked
“Your mom damaged you pretty bad” I said and she went quiet for awhile and she started crying I wanted to make her feel better all I could do was kiss her. I put my lips against hers and she was still crying. I pulled away and she grabbed the back of my head and pulled me towards her and our lips met again. when we broke apart she said
“Thank you Frank”
“For what” I asked
“Staying here with me”
“What how’d you know that”
“I heard you when you were talking to me. even though you thought I didn’t” she said. Smiling now. God I have missed that smile.
