Chapter Four

{ Still Into You }

 You made it halfway down the street, you knew where you were going, but the thing that was dragging you down was how far of a walk it was going to be. After you walked away from Frank, you tried to forget him like you have before. You tried to clear your mind, but the harder you tried, the harder it was to get him out of your mind. It seemed that Frank really wanted to apologize, but you just didn't want to go through it all again. You were almost to the next cross walk until you heard somebody honk, making you jump out of your skin.

 You turned around and saw Frank's truck pulling up beside you, making you roll your eyes. You crossed your arms and stopped in your tracks, glancing over at Frank who was rolling down his window.

''Y/N. At least let me give you a ride. I don't want you to walk home alone.'' frank says, releasing a sigh from you.

''Frank. If I get in the car with you, you have to promise me one thing,'' you say, holding up on finger.

''What is it?''

''You have to promise me you won't talk to me on the way home.'' you answer.

 Frank hesitated for a bit but than made up his mind.

''Deal.'' frank nodded sternly.

 You nodded in agreement and walked around the truck to the front seat. When you opened the door, Frank was staring at you as you climbed into the truck. He started the engine as you started to buckle up. Your buckle clicked and Frank drove out back onto the road. He obviously knew where you lived because you lived right next to him.

 On the way home, you were staring outside of the window watching as you passed by all the pretty trees. You soon got interrupted with the sound of your stomach growling. You look down at your stomach and held it as it started to growl even more, it wasn't hungry, it was starving. You look over at Frank who had his eyes still locked on the road, you hoped he didn't hear your stomach growling. The car soon stopped and you looked forward, you were at a stop light.

''You're hungry, aren't you?'' frank smirks, looking over at you.

 You didn't know if you wanted to respond to him, but your growling stomach growled at you to tell him yes. You finally just gave in and said yes.

''Yes. I am hungry.'' you blush, twiddling with your thumbs.

''Mind if I take you out?'' frank asks, biting his lip.

 You just stared at him, his blue eyes piercing into yours. Your heart raced like it used to whenever he entered the room. You were about to speak but the sound of a horn honking snapped you both back into reality.

''Sorry!'' frank called out, stepping on the pedal.

 He didn't even notice that the light turned green until the person behind him honked. You giggled as Frank continued to drive, you glanced at him and he was smiling.

''You never answered my question Y/N.'' frank sang, tapping his thumbs on the steering wheel.

''I would like to go out with you Frank, but please, no fancy places.'' you say.

''It's funny how you thought that I was rich enough to take you to a fancy place.'' frank fake laughed, making you giggle.

''Just saying. Mcdonalds.. Arbies.. Dairy Queen.. Anythings fine for me.'' you shrug.

''Dairy Queen it is.'' frank smiles, pulling up into somebodies driveway.

 Frank backed out of the driveway and turned his truck around. As he started heading to Dairy Queen, you started to feel bad for everything you said. You thought that this moment was an opportunity to apologize.

''Sorry about the whole.. Y'know.. Telling you that you can't talk to me in the car and stuff..'' you sigh, looking down.

''Y/N. Don't worry about it. I know that you didn't want to speak to me. You made it pretty clear when you ran away from me when I tried to talk to you,'' frank says. ''Plus, we've already broken that rule ever since the stoplight.'' frank added.

''But I also wanted to apologize for.. My.. Um, my–''

''We're here.'' frank smiled, pulling into the parking lot of Dairy Queen.

 You just stopped talking as Frank parked into his parking space. He unlocks the doors and you get out of the car with him. On the way into the restaurant, you told him what you wanted and he nodded. Frank held the door open and you thanked him as you entered. You went to go get a booth as Frank went up to order your food.

 As you sat down, you looked at a couple who was laughing and having a good time together. Those two teenagers flashed you back to when you and Frank were teenagers. You would always go out together, have fun together, laugh together. It was like your life was a fairy tale coming true, but it soon crashed down after that one day. Frank soon came back, making you look down, pretending like you weren't looking at anything.

 Frank sat down and glanced behind him, he turned back around and lifted an eyebrow.

''What were you looking at?'' he asks.

''Oh.. Nothing..'' you shrug.

''C'mon Y/N. Don't be like that.'' frank smirks.

''Fine.. I was looking at that couple over there.'' you say, pointing behind him.

 Frank turns around once more and sees the couple that you were staring at. They were slurping from the same blizzard, smiling at each other, constantly flirting.

''And you were looking at them because?'' frank asks, turning back around to you.

''They just remind me of.. I don't know.. Us.'' you blush.

''You mean the high school us?'' frank cocks an eyebrow, making you blush even harder.

''I'm sorry if that comment made you uncomfortable.'' you sigh, rubbing your arm.

''Y/N. We can't go back in time. But if we could.. I'd probably want to go back to that day when I saw you kissing Jacob.'' frank sighs, looking down.

''Why would you choose that scenario to return to? I know for sure that I wouldn't, because that was the day we practically.. Y'know.. Ended.'' you say, licking your lips.

''No Y/N. It's because.. Well.. It's complicated.'' frank says, shrugging it off.

 You were going to respond, but the worker came with your blizzards. They tipped it upside down, telling you that it wouldn't splat. After that, you thanked them and they left. You and Frank bought the exact same blizzards that you two would always buy whenever you two came to Dairy Queen. You reached for yours and he reached for his.

 You licked your lips as you looked at your blizzard, you started to mix it up with your spoon. You raised it up towards your mouth but Frank said something, making you pause.

''Y/N. I want to hear your side of the story.'' frank says, interrupting your bite.

''My.. My side of the story? What story?'' you ask, dropping your spoon back into the cup.

''The day that I saw you kissing Jacob..'' frank answers.

''Why are you all of a sudden interested in what I have to say about that day?'' you smile, mixing up your blizzard some more, avoiding eye contact with him.

''I just had a feeling. Y'know.'' he shrugs.

''Frank..'' you grin, looking up at him, you knew he was lying.

''Fine.. Roberta spoke to me this morning, making me realize what I haven't done.''

''And what might that be?''

''Hearing your side of the story.'' frank said, taking a bite after his words.

''Oh. Okay.'' you say, pushing your blizzard aside.

''I'm all ears.'' frank winks.

 You started to tell him your side of the story, his eyes were locked on yours. The only time he wouldn't look at you was when he was taking a bite of his blizzard. The more he heard, the more he broke, he's never heard your side of the story, and now that he was, it was making him realize what he lost. When you finally ended your story, Frank held your hands. His hands were trembling and so was his voice as he spoke.

''Y/N.. I'm so sorry.. I'm sorry that I ever did that to you. I'm sorry that I ever ignored you. I'm sorry that–''

''I know what you did Frank,'' you sigh, looking down. ''No need to bring the memories back.'' you smirk, looking back up at him.

 Frank leaned in from across the table, going in for a kiss but abruptly knocks over your blizzard that was still full. You gasped as it spilled all over the table, some of it splashing onto you. Frank sat back down immediately, half the blizzard was now on his shirt. You snickered and looked at him, he wiped his finger through the blizzard on his shirt and tasted it. He nods his head and gives a thumbs up.

''Good choice.'' he smiles, making you burst into laughter.

 Frank smiled as you laughed, he missed your laugh. He started to realize how much he missed you.

''I'll go get lots of napkins.'' you smile, scooting out of the booth.

 You go up and get a bunch of napkins, when you return to the table, you hand half to Frank and you two started to wipe up the mess. After you and Frank cleaned it up, Frank offered you another blizzard but you just said it was fine.

''Are you sure?'' frank sang, sliding out his wallet and waving it in front of you.

''I'm sure.'' you sang back, bopping him on the nose.

''But you were starving in the truck.'' frank frowned.

''Ugh. Fine, you can buy me a burger.'' you smirk.

 Frank ruffled up your hair, making you scrunch your nose cutely at him. He did as commanded and went back up to the counter, ordering you a burger. When you got the burger, you two go back to his truck and he tells you that he'll take you home. On the way home, you ate the burger, satisfying your hunger. It started to lightly rain, and the light rain soon started to turn into hard pouring rain.

 Frank arrived and pulled up in your driveway, you got out quickly smiling as the rain hit against your skin. You didn't want to go back inside because you loved the rain. Frank just rolled his window down and watched you as you twirled in the rain, your hair getting wetter by the moment.

''She's so beautiful. I can't believe that I ever thought bad about her.. I'm such an idiot..'' frank says to himself, rolling his eyes.

 Frank suddenly hears a huge splash, making him snap his head at you. His eyes went wide as he saw that you weren't dancing anymore. Thunder boomed through the sky as he saw you lying on the wet ground, rubbing your ankle.

''Y/N! Are you okay?!'' he shouts, shoving the door open, probably hard enough to rip the door right off the car.

''I just twisted.. Owww.. My ankle...'' you sigh, gently rubbing your ankle.

''Well don't touch it!!'' frank demanded, running up to you and removing your hand from your ankle.

''Frank. It's not like I'm dying. I've had twisted ankles before. I get them all the time. No biggie.'' you say, smiling up at him as his hair flopped over from the wet rain.

 It seemed that Frank didn't hear a word that you just said. He slid his hands underneath you and picked you right up. You wrapped your arms around his neck as he started to carry you to his house. His white shirt was getting soaked with water, making his chest more visible. You looked up at him as he carried you to his house, he looked super heroic.

 The rain perfectly dripping from his hair, and the fact that he was strong enough to carry you said a whole lot. He reached the door and struggled a little bit with getting the door open. You helped him out and opened it for him, he came inside, catching Mary's attention.

''Y/N? Why are you in Frank's arms?'' mary asks, closing her math book, suddenly intrigued.

''Mary. Go get some ice, Y/N twisted her ankle.'' frank snapped, making mary run into the kitchen.

 Frank takes you into his bedroom and lays you on his bed. You both were dripping with water. Mary came rushing in with the ice-pack, she hands Frank the ice-pack and he puts it on your ankle gently.

''Am I hurting you?'' frank asks, trying not to put to much pressure on your ankle.

''No. You're not.'' you sigh, laying back on his pillow.

 Frank shot Mary the 'get out' look. She received the message and left the room almost immediately. When the door shut, Frank sat beside you, making the bed sink in a little bit.

''I'm sorry that happened Y/N.'' frank says, shaking his head like a dog does when they get wet.

''Frank. It wasn't a big deal you know.'' you chuckle, laying your hands on your stomach.

''If you tripped, I would be the one who would help you up, not the one who would laugh at you. And if anybody who was with us did laugh. Well.. Let's just say next time you'd see them, they'd probably have a black eye.'' frank smiles, making you giggle.

''Frank.. I just wanted to–''

 You got interrupted as you saw Frank leaning in, his lips coming closer to yours. Your eyes started shifting from his eyes to his lips, before you knew it, his lips were on yours. He started to get into it after a few kisses, making you feel a little more heated. He runs his hand through your hair as he continues to kiss you, you didn't even notice that he was on top of you as he kissed. You two didn't notice but the door was cracked open and on the other side was Mary, grinning at the scene.

''I knew it.'' she whispered, smiling widely.

 It took a while for Frank to realize that he still had feelings for you, but once he finally realized them, it was worth the wait.

Hello friends!

This is the end of my Frank Adler fanfiction She's No Good.

I am forever grateful that you've chosen to read this fanfiction and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it! This was my very first Frank Adler fanfiction I ever wrote ever since I've seen Gifted (which was back in 2017) so I know it's not as good as I would write it these days, but it was good enough.

There is not enough Frank Adler writings out there, so if any of you know of any good fanfictions, imagines, or anything about Frank Adler, don't be afraid to message me. It's even better if you write for him, I would love to read more about it.

Frank Adler is definitely a character I'm not finished writing for, so there is more to come about Frank, whether it be another fanfiction or imagines. Who knows.

This series came from my Tumblr smilexcaptainx.

THANK YOU FOR READING, I LOVE YOU ALL
