Make Me Better

"We shouldn't go in together." I said as we reached Frank's house.

"Good idea." He let me hop off of his back. He smiled as he walked in first. I waited outside for a while. I was sitting out on the front steps. I thought that was good enough time. I walked in to immediately find Lindsey.

"Where were you?" She asked with a smile.
"Outside." She nodded. I was standing with Mikey and Lindsey. Frank came over to our little look and I tried my hardest to act normal.

"Where's the cake? I want cake." Ray asked Frank.
Frank laughed, "I guess its cake time." Ray high fived Frank before following him into the kitchen. Lindsey grabbed my hand and followed after them..

"Oh god. It's ice cream cake." Gerard said with a tiny sigh, "Well, come one. I want some." We all gathered around Frank and sang 'Happy Birthday' . Frank blew out his candles and handed the first slice of cake to Gerard.

"Oli?" Frank asked, I shook my head.

"Not thanks. I can barely breathe in this thing." I smiled, he smiled back. We stared at each other or a while. Until Jenna showed up. I looked away from her as she stood next to Frank. Luckily, Lindsey had seen her and decided to drag me elsewhere. We were sitting out back with Gee, who was eating his cake happily.

Sitting was a hassle, so I had to lean against the wall instead. "Can I talk to Oli, alone?" We all turned our heads to see Frank. Lindsey pulled Gerard up quickly. She was smirking as she passed us and went back into the house.

"What am I supposed to do?"

I arched my eyebrow, "About what?"

"Jenna, she's all over me."

"Well, you can't break up with her now."

He frowned, "Why not?"

"You don't think she'll cause a scene?" I asked. He was silent for a while. "Yeah, she probably would."

"Just do it another time." I suggested.

"I'd rather be with you."

I smiled, "Sorry." We walked back inside, together. Which was a bad idea because Jenna was standing in the hallway talking to some girl, she spotted us and raised an eyebrow.

"Uh oh." Frank said under his breath. Jenna approached us, and I was racking my brain for some sort of excuse. She had her eyes on me as she walked towards us.

"What were you guys doing?" She asked casually. "Umm..." I trailed off. I didn't know what to say.

"Talking." Frank said. I nodded, agreeing.

"Oh?" She smiled, "You're lying." She said to Frank. I looked over at him. He looked nervous, no wonder she knew he was lying.

"He isn't lying. We were talking."

"I'm so tired of you. Every time I see Frank he's always with you. Whys that?"

I shrugged. "I don't really feel like talking to you."

"Just admit it, you like MY boyfriend." She said in a snotty tone. What was I supposed to do? Lie to her or tell her the truth? I couldn't tell her the truth, at least not here. In front of all these people. I felt a pang of jealousy as she called Frank 'her' boyfriend.

"You do!" She said when I had stayed quiet.

"Jenna, let's go." Frank stood in front of me, I could still see her glaring at me. "You're being crazy." He whispered to her.

"No!" She moved away from him, "I want to hear her say it." She was starting to make me mad. I spotted Lindsey, she walked over with Mikey and Ray.

"What's going on?" She asked. Jenna didn't say anything, she just stared at me, waiting. Frank turned and gave me a look, he didn't know what to do either.

I returned the glare and took step closer to her, "Fine....I do like Frank."

She scoffed, "See?" She told Frank, but he wasn't looking at her, he was looking me. I could hear Ray and Mikey ask each other what I had just said.

It was quiet. "Wait, you like Frank?" Mikey asked. I turned to look at him, I laughed.

"Yeah." Frank was smiling at me. I wanted him to just take Jenna away, as much as I hated her, I didn't want Frank to break up with her here. At a party.

"I can't believe this. I knew it all along!"

"Jenna, calm down." Frank said quietly.

"She just said she liked you, how can you tell me to calm down?" She snapped. Frank sighed.

"Are you not surprised? You seem pretty calm." She said looking up at Frank, she looked from me to him, "Don't tell me you like her too?"

Frank didn't say anything. "No, he doesn't." I said quickly, she was already going pretty crazy, if she knew that Frank liked me then she would be out of control.

"She's lying. I do like her." Frank said. Lindsey gasped.

Jenna looked furious, "What!?"

"You heard me."

"You fucking kidding me? You like Olive? Since when, Frank?"

"I don't know.." Before I knew it she was standing right in front of me. "You're such a bitch." Frank pulled Jenna back.

"Jenna."

"Don't touch me!" She snarled at him.

"Hey, what did I miss?" I heard Gerard ask. I would have laughed but I could due to the fact the Jenna was screaming at me. By then more people started to notice her outbreak.
Jenna was going ballistic. She wasn't screaming at me anymore, she was screaming at Frank.

"Can you stop screaming?" I asked.

She huffed, "I was talking to you!"

"You're being really dramatic." I added calmly.

"Well, my boyfriend just told me he liked you! You out of all people. I don't see why, you aren't anything special." That last part sort of hurt. I didn't say anything because she had got me there, I didn't have anything to say.

"Jenna, will you just leave?" Frank asked.

"So what? Are you breaking up with me?" She asked quietly.

"Yeah, sorry." Frank nodded.

"You aren't sorry, you have her."

"Je-"

"Whatever, Frank." She turned to walk out the house. There was a long moment of silence.

"Yay!" Lindsey cheered.

"What the hell is going on?" Gerard asked. Mikey and Ray laughed. Frank turned back around, so that he could look at me.

"This means your my girlfriend, right? Since there isn't anymore Jenna."

"What!" Gerard asked. Lindsey shushed him.

"If you want me to be."

"I'd love you to be." He smiled. I blushed and nodded, "Ok then." Frank closed the gap that was separating us and pulled me in for a kiss.

"Lindsey, why are they kissing?" Gee asked. Lindsey asked.

"Frank, what the fuck are you doing?" He added. We didn't let his questions interrupt our kiss. I wrapped my arms around Frank's neck to bring him in closer.

"Let's go." Mikey said.

"But why are they kissing?" Gee asked in a confused tone. When we pulled apart we were alone.
We instantly started to laugh.

"Oh! I forgot to get you present." I frowned as I spotted the dining room table, which was filled with Frank's gifts.

"I got you."

"Oh, no! Don't tell me you're going to get all cheesy with me all the time."
He laughed, "I can't help it."

I smiled and pulled him into a tight hug. "I want cake now."

"Yeah, me too. Let's go." He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the kitchen.
