Frank's POV
I woke to the sun beaming down on my face from the open window. My head felt as if it were splitting in half and the sun did nothing to help. I groaned as I rolled over and came into contact with a warm body. I smiled to myself as I snuggled closer and wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her against my chest, stroking gently over her abdomen.
My smile faded and my hand froze in place. I realized there were two things very wrong with this scenario. First, I could feel hot, naked flesh on flesh between this body and my own. Second, my fingers had brushed over a soft, flat abdomen rather than a smooth, protruding one. This could only mean two things to me. Number one, this is most definitely not Melody and number two, I had more than likely mindlessly and drunkenly fucked, yet another, random stranger.
Tentatively, I retracted my hand and rolled over. As carefully as I could I slid from the bed and gathered my clothing only pausing long enough to slip my boxers on. I chanced a glance over my shoulder and flinched when I saw platinum blonde hair draped across bare shoulders. Silently, I crept from the room, closing the door behind me. I was stopped short as I collided with something solid.
"Fuck Frankie!"
Shit. Of course I would run into Pete at a time like this. "Sorry Pete."
"It looks like someone got lucky last night."
"I...uh...yeah, I guess." I mumbled, frowning to myself.
"Uh-oh. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." I shrugged.
"Frank, I have known you long enough to know when you are lying and right now, my friend, your nose is ten feet long."
I couldn't help but chuckle at his choice of words.
"Fine." I sighed. "Let me get dressed and I will meet you in the kitchen."
"You got it."
I immediately ducked into the closest bathroom. As I dressed I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror above the sink and grimaced. My skin was dotted with red splotches and I had smudges of eyeliner beneath my eyes. Even through the smudges of black I could see the purplish-black bags under my eyes and my hair was stuck up in unflattering tufts around my head.
"Fuck Frank, get your shit together." I growled at my reflection.
I scowled at my own stupidity as I turned on the tap and splashed my face with the icy cold water. I ran my damp hands through my hair in an attempt to make it more presentable before sighing and leaving the bathroom. I made my way to the kitchen where Pete was sat at the table with two mugs of hot coffee and a couple of painkillers. I took a seat across from Pete and swallowed down the painkillers with a gulp of the wonderful hot liquid before me.
"Thanks Pete."
"You're welcome now talk."
I let out a groan, burying my head in my hands. "I fucked up."
"What do you mean?"
"I slept with some random chick last night. I...Melody is going to be so upset."
"I thought you said you two were not together."
"We're not."
"Then what's the problem?"
"I promised her I would change, Pete. I promised to be there for her and our child but here I am, fucking up once again."
"It's just sex, Frank. It's not the end of the world."
"That's just it, Pete, it's not just sex." I sighed." Pete, do you know how I met Melody?"
"She's Chris' little sister so I guess through him." He shrugged.
"She's not Chris' little sister. She was a fan. We met her after one of our shows and I....we slept together and she ended up pregnant. I was a dick to her about it. I was terrified and I didn't want to believe it could happen to me but it did. Fuck, I am such a man whore sometimes. I was doing so good and then in one night full of booze I fucked it up."
"I'm sure she will understand, Frank. You are a guy and guys have needs. Besides, you two are not together so it's not like you are cheating. I'm sorry but I really don't see what the problem is."
"I want to be the best father I can be, Pete. I want my daughter to be proud of me. I want to set a good example for her and this is not it."
"I can understand that but no one is perfect, Frank. We all do things we regret. We just have to get past those mistakes and move on with our lives."
"I know but it's just....this wasn't just a small mistake, Pete. I ruined her life in just one night. Just one lust-filled night and she will have to live with it forever. I don't regret my daughter by any means but I do regret ruining Melody's life."
"What about your life? This changes your life, too."
I let out a lifeless chuckle. "Pete, can I trust you with a secret?"
"Of course, Frankie."
"Melody isn't eighteen."
"What?"
"She's only seventeen, Pete."
"Frankie, I....why....why would you do that?"
"I didn't know. I had no idea she was really just a kid until the next morning and by then the damage was done."
"Oh."
"But do you want to know the worst part?"
"What's that?"
"She wasn't just some slutty teenage girl trying to hookup with a celebrity. Pete, she was a virgin and I took that from her. In a drunken haze I took her last shred of innocence. I took the chance of someone making that first time special for her and she will never be able to get that back."
"Frankie, I....I'm sorry."
"I only have myself to blame which is why it is so important that I don't let her down. I know she seems strong and she is to a point but Pete, underneath that tough exterior she's as fragile as brittle glass. She's just....she's just a kid for fuck's sake."
"Come on Frank, don't beat yourself up over it. Look, just go home and talk to her. If she's mad or upset then comfort her. Make it up to her if you have to."
"Yeah, I should probably go. I'll figure it out."
"Okay. Will I see you in a few weeks?"
"What?"
"The concert."
"Oh yeah, the concert. Yeah, I'll be there."
"Alright, be careful going home." Pete murmured as he slid my car keys across to me.
"Thanks Pete."
I snatched my keys from the table and went straight to my car. I practically ripped the door from it's hinges in my hurry to get it open. As soon as I was situated I started the car and began the short journey home.
My thoughts were filled with self-hatred and remorse. Even if Melody and I are not together I feel it is my responsibility to take care of her as well as our child and doing ignorant things like I had last night was just unacceptable.
As I neared our apartment complex a streak of bright pink caught my attention and I pulled to the side of the road. The various bright colors seemed to almost shimmer and sparkle in the sun and the smell of fresh cut flowers filled my nostrils. I scanned the dozens of flowers before deciding on a bundle of a dozen dark pink colored roses. I paid and thanked the lady working the stand before climbing back into my car and rushing home.
I pulled into the lot and parked, quickly locking my doors and practically running for the entrance. I wasted no time in rushing up to the apartment and bursting inside. Gerard was sprawled out face down on the couch and I heard voices coming from the kitchen. In the kitchen I found Mikey sitting at the kitchen table with a dark-haired girl I vaguely recognized. As I entered they both glanced up at me.
"Well it's good to see you made it home in one piece." Mikey growled.
"Mikey, I....I'm sorry. I-"
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to Melody. You ditched her last night, not me."
I sighed heavily. "Where is she?"
"Asleep."
"I..thanks."
I wandered from the kitchen to my room where I found Melody curled onto her side, sleeping soundly. I sighed as I lay the roses down on my dresser and kicked my shoes off. As quietly as I could I lay down beside her and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her against my chest and kissing the top of her head. I gently stroked my fingertips across her stomach. She flinched beneath my touch and my heart clenched in my chest.
"Melody, I am so sorry if I disappointed you. I didn't mean to ditch you last night. I just.....I'm a fuck up and I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Frankie. I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle myself."
I could hear the tinge of sadness and slight disappointment in her voice and my heart clenched once again.
"Melody, I really am sorry. I don't know why....I mean I just-"
She rolled over to face me and let out a long sigh.
"Frank, you are a big boy and you can have sex with who ever you so choose to. I'm not mad at you. I just had a rough night last night but I'm fine now, okay?"
"Wait, how did you know I was...um....with someone?"
"Oh....um...I...I was looking for you last night and I kind of uh....saw you."
"What?! Mel, no. Fuck, I am an idiot."
"Like I said, it's your life and your choice. You don't have to be perfect, Frank. You deserve to find someone that makes you happy. You deserve someone that will love you unconditionally. I know last night was just...sex but I just want you to know that you really do deserve someone special and I don't want the fact that you are having a child with me to stop you from finding that, okay?"
"Mel, I don't want anyone else. I just want to live my life being content with my daughter and her mother. I want to give both of you the best in life. You both deserve so much from me and I just want you both to be proud of me and-"
"Frank, I am so proud of you. You have changed so much in just a short amount of time and I know our daughter is going to be just as proud of you as I am. She's going to love you so much and you are going to love her just as much."
"Thanks Mel, I hope you're right. I..uh...got you something."
She furrowed her brows at me. "What?"
I retrieved the roses from the dresser and handed them over to her. She smiled as she breathed in their sweet scent.
"Thanks Frankie, they're beautiful."
"It's the least I could do to make last night up to you."
"Frank, I told you-" I cut her off.
"I wanted to." She nodded.
"I am going to go put them in a vase with some water."
"Okay."
I watched as she left the room. I decided right then and there I could never do something as stupid as I had last night ever again. My life is no longer just mine to do with as I please. No, it now revolves around two very special and important people and I intend on giving both of them everything they could ever want or need. They both deserve so much from me and I won't give up until they have it.
I feel like this one sucked, too. I'm sorry about that but I am working on the next part now so hopefully it will be better.
