What It's Like To Be Me - Chapter 2

Belle and me got home before dark. I put some cartoons on for her and went to make dinner for the two of us. Errr I went through the cabinet, I really need to go shoping for food!!! I was agrueing with myself when the phone rang.

'Hello' I answered 'Hey,Its Frankie'He answered with a smooth voice. 'Oh hey, so whats up?' I asked .Finally I found something to eat!!!Grilled cheese sandwiches. When you have to eat you have to eat! 'Well I was bored at home so I thought I call the pretty gurl that we meant at the park, I wanna know more about you..'He trailed off. I could tell on the other line he was embrassed by saying too munch. But I liked a truthful guy. 'Whats more to know then my favorite color is orange and yellow?' I asked cooking the grill cheese at the same time. It was kinda of diffacult.'Well how about we go out tonight and I can learn more about you in person' He responded. 'Ohhh..I can't ..Belle' I studdered 'Can't your parnets watch her?' Frankie asked in a odd voice. 'Hmm no cause..well..there at work' I waited patiently for his reaction. 'At nine a clock at night?' He didn't get it. Errr FRankie seemed like a nice guy if I was going to tell anyone it meant as well be him.

'Frankie, why don't you come over?' I asked..'Im cooking grilled cheese' I said and chuckled a little bit, he did too!'Yea, I'd enjoy that' I gave him my address and he said it wasn't to far away from his house and give him five minutes.

He arrived in due time. I was prepping myself on how I was going to tell him. The doorbell rang and I answered it. 'Hey' I said when I saw his cute face. At the park I thought Greg was the hottest. But I liked Frankiez personality the best. 'Hey, so sup?'He asked and I walked him into the living room where the movie zoolander was on. 'Can you hold on for second, I need to go check on Belle' He nodded his head.

I walked down to Belles' room. I had decerated it in care bears, it was my favorite show&books when I was little. I walked in quietly in case she was asleep and sure enough she was. I turned off the Tv which had a re-run show of PowerPuff Girls. I put her night lamp on and turned off the big light. Then walked over and made sure her covers were on right and kissed her goodnight.

I walked back in to the living room, her goes nothing I thought.'So..' I said while I took a seat next to Frankie. He turned his attention off the movie and directly into my eyes. He made me melt. ' I invited you over cause you seemed to want to be a good friend..' I was cut off by him.'Or more..' He said in a flirtie voice, I blushed but was wondering if he think of that after I tell him my secret. 'Or more...But if your either one I still have to tell you something. Something I haven't told a soul since it happened. Frankie, Belle not my sister , but she not my child either. Well techinally. The long story is that I had a older sister named, Elizabeth well she had a boyfriend. You know they were the couple that everyone wanted to be. Well soon after a year of dating she got pregnant. He denied it all and left her and the city when she was four months pregnant. My mom of cousre went crazy and one night I heard some screaming from my sister room. I got up, when I walked in I almost fainted. There was my mom on her knees by my sister lifeless body. She had stapped her in the heart.(I was in tears by now and Frankie listened with intrest and saddness) She looked at me in shock, I was only like 10. She whispered that she was sorry and that she loved both of us very munch. Then she stapped herself. It was a nightmare for me for two years. I moved to NYC and live with my Aunt. We took care of Belle. But my aunt couldn't pay her bills and take care of both us so Belle and I moved out. I got this place with some money my mom had left me when she died. Got a job at 13 and ever since that I've been Belles' mom.' Im sure I looked like a raccoon for crying all through the story, but Frankie just looked at me for a second and then opened up his arms for a hug. I move closer to him. His hug was sincere. I had always seen movies and read stories when the girls say that they felt safe in their guys' arms. But Im not going to lie to you, I did feel safe.
