Why Is Life So Hard, Lizzy?, chapter 9
It was May in 2006. I had just turned 16. My dad bought me an SRT-10 for my birthday. Black, Naturally. Everyone was home from touring, except for the occasional awards show or the Adline Street new clothesline launch. Me and Frankito had taken so many twists and turns through the years. We spent all our time together, we ate lunch together, saw movies together, went to eacother's houses, spent fridays... Well, basically we seemd to be the "Perfect" couple. Wrong. No one saw what happened behind closed doors.
Frankito had a secret passion that only I knew about. Drugs & the thrill of being weightless. We fought constantly about it.
*Flashback*
May 8, 2006.
"Hey Baby, you comin' over today? Asked Frankito. "MY dad ain't gonna be home." he added.
The offer, very tempting...
"No, sorry babe. Remember 'Mona is comin' down. Me, her and Stelle are shoppin' all day. But, how long your dad gonna be gone?" I asked.
"All day." he replied.
"Okay, i'll come by afterward, alright?"
"Okay. I gotta go. Jay's here." he said.
"Wait, Franky, NO!"
"I love you."
"Franky, don't you dare hang up thi... Hello?... Hello?... I love you too."
I hung up the phone. Great, Jay was over. There getting high today. Great.

During the whold ay, I couldn't shake the feeling of worry from myself, about Franky. Me, stelle and Mona all went to our favorite stores such as Hot Topic, Spencers, and even went and visited our dad's in the studio. Our dad's were working on there new album. Anyways, after a full day, we finally said our good-bye's, and headed for our homes. When I got home, no one else was there. Mom had left this note on the table:
Liz,
Me and the boys went out to run some errands and get something to eat. Should be back by 10:00. Oh, and your father is pulling an all-nighter. Love you.
-Mom, Joey, and Jakob.
I set my bags down up in my room and looked at the clock. 4:38. Oh good, I could get over to Franky's by 5:00 if I left now. I grabbed my purse type thing and my keys and ran outta the house. About 20 minutes later, I showed up at Franky's. I knocked on the door and Jay answered it. I rolled my eyes. *sigh*
"Is Franky here?" I asked.
He looked me up and down and replied...
"No, went on a run. But hey, we can have some fun till he gets back, whaaddya say?"
"JAY! Your such a pig! I would NEVER... Ugh. I'll just wait for him outside. Thanks."
He turned and waltzed back into the house and slammed the door while I turned and headed back to my car to wait. When I got back to my car, I pulled out meh blackberry and began texting Franky.
To: The-Baby-Love
From: I-Need-You-I-Need-You
"Franky, where are you? Will you be home soon? If not, i'm going back home. I'm waiting outside your house. Jay and I have already ran into eachother. Gross. Well, text back. Love you. -Liz"
I placed my blackberry on the dash so I could hear really well whn eI got a text. I locked my car doors then I put in my Raconteurs CD. It seemed like forever before I got a reply, but I did. Well, for a sec I thought I did.
It was my friend M. But everyone called her Haushinka. She just turned 16 and wanted to drive up to see me tomorrow.
From: Never Coming Home
To: I-Need-You-I-Need-You
"Hey can I come see you around 3:00 tomorrow? Lemme know. Love you. -M"
I quickly replied
From: I-Need-You-I-Need-You
To: Never Coming Home
"Sure thing. Seeya tomorrow. Might as well stay. Bring clothes. Love you too. -Liz" as soon as I sent, I got a message from Franky.
"Liz, be home in 5. I love you SO much. Don't ever leave me. I need you. My lucky star. =) See you soon. -Franky"
5 minutes later, sure enough, there he was, blood shot eyes and all.
