Of all Lovers - Chapter 8

"How are you?"
"Im f-fine." Willow managed to say.
"Isn't it funny how we just saw each other yesterday?"
"Yeah, haha, weird isn't it? So Frank, what brings you down here to Newark?" Willow asked once she found her voice.
"Well we have one more day off before our next show." Frank said, totally ignoring the bartenders request to get him a drink.
"Oh yeah thats right, Carissa told me. She's excited about her date with Mikey."
"Yeah Mikester is excited too."
"And uhhh...speaking of dates, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go on a date with me?" Frank said nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

Willows knee's got weak and her heart rate increased. Good thing she was sitting down.

"Yes...I would love to." Willow said.
"YES!!" Frank yelled.

Willow couldn't help but laugh. The other band members laughed as well.
They were finally happy that Frank found someone that made him happy.
So many girls hurt him in the past.
They knew she was different.

"So I will pick you up tonight at 6:30, is that okay?" Frank asked.
"Yeah thats fine." Willow said still trying to take it all in.
"Okay good. So how have you been?"
"Well considering how it has only been about 8 hours since we last saw each other, Im saying pretty good."
"Ha-ha good." Frank stated.
"So when are you leaving?" Willow asked.
"Leaving the bar or Newark?" Frank asked.
"Newark." Willow replied.
"Oh well lets see, probably tomorrow or the day after."
"Oh." Willow stated bluntly.
"Yeah it sucks." Frank said looking down at the counter.

.......................................

Willow and Carissa walked out to the car at around 3:30.
Only three hours left till Willow's date with Frankie,
and four more hours till Carissa's with Mikey.

.......................................

Carissa and Willow arrived back at the house at around 3:45.
Willow was sitting in the passenger's side since Carissa took over the wheel.
Willow noticed something unusual.

"Uhhh Carissa..." Willow said. Her voice shaking.
"Yeah, what is it?" Carissa asked.
"Did you leave the front door open?" Willow asked while she stepped out of the car.
"Uhh..no of course not. Why?"

Carissa walked over next to Willow and stared at her like she was crazy.

"That's why." Willow said pointing to Carissa's house.

Carissa followed Willow's arm down to the finger then looked at her house. Carissa felt her heart drop and her eyes got wide and started to water.

"Does this mean that we have to cancel on the boys?" Willow asked.
"Yes it does." Carissa said starting to cry.
