Hi guys! Welcome to my new fanfiction, it's based on Lip Service series 2. Basically, my friend and I were less than impressed with the outcome and we decided to tweak things;) the other person I'm writing this with is Jadethevampirequeen so check out her stories haha.

Frankie Allen stared at herself in the mirror and sighed heavily before releasing a weak smile. She couldn't let herself be depressed today, it wasn't her day, it was Cat's.

Frankie would've had so much planned for Cat today if it weren't for one little thing. That little thing really being a big thing that came in the form of Sam, Cat's girlfriend.

She would just have to make do with the small amount of time that she was allowed with Cat, the same amount of time that they'd had together previously this week. Frankie knew it was wrong for Cat to be cheating on Sam, but it was only temporary, until Cat had made her decision, and Frankie couldn't live without her.

She glanced at the clock on her wall, anxious for the time to arrive when Cat would knock on the door. She was also anxious for her housemate, Tess to get to her rehearsals and out of the house.

Sighing once again, she walked back over to her bed and laid down on it, willing the time to pass quicker. The more she wished, the slower time went.

"Frankie?" Tess's mumbled voice travelled through the closed door.

"Yeah?" Frankie called back, sitting up and leaning her head against the wall.

"I'm coming in" The voice came back and the door was pushed open, Tess sticking her head through. "I'm now going"

"Okay" Frankie replied, trying to smile at her.

"Everyone else is at work today, you know you should really get a job" Tess teased.

"I have a job Tess" Frankie replied, actually smiling this time.

"A real job Frankie" Tess rolled her eyes. "I'll see you later okay? We'll get a takeaway or something when Lexy's home, then we'll go round and see Cat."

"That sounds like fun" Frankie smirked "See you later."

Tess smiled once more and pulled the door closed again.

Frankie waited until she heard the front door close before leaping off the bed and opening her bed-side table. She pulled out a small black box and placed it on the side, smiling slightly at it.

She was interrupted by a knock at the door, knots began to form in her stomach as she recognised the silhouette through the glass of the front door.

Frankie pulled the door open and smiled breathlessly at the woman. "Cat." she greeted.

Cat smiled weakly back and stepped inside, looking over her shoulder. Frankie pulled her into a hug, and realised that Cat wasn't hugging back, she pulled her further into the hallway, closing the door behind them.

"What's wrong?" Frankie asked, placing her hands on Cat's shoulders and running them down her arms.

"Too much Frankie, we need to talk" Cat replied, staring at the floor.

Frankie cupped Cat's face and pulled it up, "We can talk later" she smiled, kissing Cat deeply and pinning her up against the wall, still in a kiss.

Cat broke the kiss and placed her hands on Frankie's chest, pushing her away gently. "No Frankie, now."

Frankie tried to hide the look of rejection on her face and, grabbing Cat's hand, pulled her into her bedroom and closed the door.

"What is it?" Frankie hugged, starting to get annoyed.

"I can't stay Frankie, we can't do this." Cat sat down on the edge of Frankie's bed.

"That's fine, Frankie chuckled, sitting down next to her "We can do it tomorrow-"

"I didn't finish" Cat replied "We can't do this...ever."

Frankie hid very well the feeling that had just washed over her, loss and hurt took over and it felt like her heart dropped a thousand miles before finally smashing into a million pieces.

"What do you mean?" she managed to stutter out, trying to stop tears from forming in her eyes.

"I made my decision...I chose Sam." Cat sighed.

"But, I just thought, after everything we've been through" Frankie placed her hand on Cat's shoulder, willing her to rethink her decision.

"You hurt me Frankie." Cat placed her hand over Frankies and slowly pulled it off her, standing up. "It's not fair to Sam like this, you'll always be in my heart, but I have to move on. You probably should too."

Frankie stood up and just stared a Cat, unable to stop the tears anymore. "But I love you Cat."

Cat pulled her into a hug "I love you too Frankie, but...I need to give Sam a chance. I love her too...everytime I see you I'm reminded Frankie, and as happy as I am about us, I'm constantly reminded about how hurt you made me, if Sam can make me happy then I need to stay with her. This may not be permanent, but it's what's happening for now." Cat pulled back just enough to come face to face with Frankie. "I'm so sorry, I need to go. We're all going out later, so I'll see you then."

Frankie barely had time to protest before Cat had left and closed the door behind her.

She simply sat on her bed and cried.


"What a day..." Tess sighed as she hung up her coat upon arriving home.

She noticed the quiet in the house, she checked in the living room for signs of Frankie. Usually she would be on her laptop by now seeing as there wasn't really anything else for her to do when she was at rehearsals and Lexy was at work.

Lexy really did have a great job, Tess smiled just thinking about her. She would save people's lives day and night and then just come home and think nothing of it, a real life hero to Tess.

"Frankie?" Tess called, coming back to reality to try and locate her housemate. She knocked on Frankie's bedroom door. "Frankie, are you in there?" After a few seconds of no reply she called again. "I'm coming in."

Tess rolled her eyes when she saw Frankie in bed "I know you've had nothing to do today, but staying in bed is just lazy" she teased, approaching Frankie.

Upon getting closer, she could see Frankie had been crying.

Tess sat down on the edge of the bed "Frankie...what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing" Frankie mumbled into her pillow, hoping Tess wouldn't detect the hint of sarcasm.

"I've known you for too long Frankie Allen, tell me what's wrong." Tess continued, trying not to sound too strict.

"Tess...leave it, it's too..." Frankie tilted her head sideways so she wasn't looking at Tess, or her pillow, but the wall.

"Frankie, I won't tell anybody, I just don't want you to be upset" Tess placed a hand on Frankie's shoulder.

"It's Cat." Frankie sighed.

"What about her?"

"We were...seeing each other. She called it off today." Frankie sat up on her bed, pulling her knees up to her chest, facing Tess.

"Frankie!" Tess was shocked "You mean to say that Cat was cheating on Sam?"

Frankie nodded her head and rested it on her knees, glancing up at Tess.

Tess just sighed "When are you two going to sort yourselves out?"

"I think we just did." Frankie smirked.

"So I guess this means you don't want to go out with us later then." Tess continued.

"No, I'll go, I don't want anyone else to figure out something's wrong." Frankie lifted her head up.

Tess had been so concerned about Frankie, she didn't hear the door opening and Lexy coming home.

"Hello is anyone ho-" Lexy walked into Frankie's room and stuck her head round the door, cutting herself off when she noticed them both in there. "Sorry, am I interrupting a moment?" she smiled.

"Oh, no not at all!" Tess refused perhaps a bit too enthusiastically and stood up, beginning to blush.

"Okay then" Lexy laughed, entering the room. "What time are we leaving? I've had a bit of a rough day and I need a drink as soon as possible."

"I'm not sure" Tess replied, "When Frankie's ready?" she glanced at Frankie, who had returned her head to her knees. Frankie just nodded.

"Come on Tess, let's at least give her time to get ready, unless you want to watch?" Lexy teased.

"No no, I'm now coming!" Tess exclaimed again, patting Frankie on the shoulder before she left. "Are you sure you want to go?" she asked.

"Yep." Frankie replied, pulling her legs down and standing up.

"Okay, just let me know when you're ready." Tess smiled, leaving the room.


"Happy birthday!" Tess smiled, approaching Cat and Sam, who had already found them a table in the bar.

"Thank you so much Tess." Cat smiled back. "Are you on your own?" she asked, glancing over Tess's shoulder.

"No no, Lexy's at the bar getting drinks." Tess smiled.

"And Frankie?" Sam asked curiously.

"She's with Lexy." Tess added, suddenly feeling paranoid for Frankie. "So, birthday girl, how's your day been?" she quickly changed the subject, as Lexy and Frankie arrived with the drinks and sat down, Lexy next to Cat and Frankie next to Tess.

"It's been good" Cat replied, smiling. "Sam made me breakfast, destroying the kitchen in the process" she rolled her eyes "and then I just went to work as usual, nothing's been different but it's felt special today, kind of like a...turning point."

Tess nearly choked on her drink that she'd been sipping. "Right" she coughed "Sounds like a good day." she shared a quick glance with Frankie, who was too busy on her phone to notice anything anyone was saying and looked at her with a confused look on her face.

"So, how was everyone else's day?" Cat asked, turning to Tess, who nodded, putting her glass down.

"Pretty good, though I swear I'm going to kill that director, he's such a pain." she laughed.

"What's he done this time?" Lexy asked, giving Tess a smirk.

"Just being the usual arsehole." Tess replied. "How's your day been, you mentioned you had a rough one."

"Well, I lost a patient today, so that's never good." Lexy pulled a face.

"Oh, what happened?" Sam asked, "We had to deal with an accident today."

"Yeah, it was probably the same thing" Lexy replied "Someone got hit by a car, we tried, but they didn't make it."

"That's terrible..." Cat mumbled, before turning to Frankie "Frankie, is everything okay?" she asked.

Frankie glanced up from her phone "Yeah." she replied bluntly.

"What's your day been like?" Cat asked, being careful not to set Frankie off but making it seem like there wasn't any tension between them.

"Well, you know me, I don't have a real job." Frankie shot a look at Tess who smirked back at her. "So I spent the day in bed, I may not be saving the world like Sam, but I think I deserve a day off now and then."

"It's a far shot from saving the world, you just take pretty pictures of it." Sam laughed.

Frankie laughed, with a hint of sarcasm and mocking to Sam, which, luckily, no one picked up on.


The evening passed without much drama, Cat and Frankie shared the odd look, during which Cat would turn away first.

As they settled the bill for the evening, everyone began to leave, a little bit drunker than when they had arrived.

"Well, this was a fun night, thank you." Cat smiled, leaning into Sam, who had her arm around her.

"It is your birthday," Sam smiled at her, kissing her on the forehead.

"Well we're gonna head off, Lexy's got another morning shift, I have rehearsals and...well Frankie's Frankie." Tess laughed quickly, before herding a suddenly emotional Frankie off the table and to the door, Lexy following closely behind.

"Frankie are you oka-" Tess was cut off by a loud noise behind them.

Someone had started a fight and was being escorted by two men out of the bar, unsuccessfully.

"This whole male stripper thing isn't gonna work out for you guys if you keep grabbing lesbians" the girl laughed, recieving an extra shove from the considerably larger men.

"Someone's getting rough" she chuckled at the men, who picked her up by each arm and dragged her out of the club, past the girls.

Frankie recognised the woman being dragged, who also recognised her. "Frankie" she smiled "Long time no see."

"Hey Sadie" Frankie replied.

"Well, no time to chat." Sadie laughed, being dragged further out of the doorway.

"Oh god." Tess laughed, leading the group out of the door to find Sadie squaring up to the men outside.

"I'll have you know that I have a friend in the police force, well not a friend, a friend of a friend." Sadie slurred.

"She's with us." Tess laughed, standing inbetween Sadie and the men, Sadie standing on tiptoes to talk to the men over Tess.

"Yeah, so fuck off." She laughed.

"I'm so sorry" Tess continued talking to the men.

"You should get her sorted out, she's a nutcase." The bigger man warned Tess.

"Believe me, we know." Tess rolled her eyes. "Again, I'm so sorry, we'll take her home."

The men huffed and heading back inside the pub, swerving to avoid Cat and Sam, who had just exited.

"What's going on here?" Sam's inner police officer kicked in.

"Sadie..." Tess sighed.

Sadie waved at Cat and Sam. "Hi guys!" she smiled before leaning over and throwing up.

"Hi Sadie..." Cat replied weakly.

Frankie's head clicked onto an idea, and rushed over to Sadie, helping her stand up.

"You need to get home Sadie..." she pointed out, letting Sadie lean on her.

"Okay, I live over there." Sadie pointed to her car.

"You're kidding me right?" Frankie asked.

Sadie shook her head, throwing up again.

"Watch the shoes." Frankie sighed.

Frankie looked at Tess and Lexy, Tess had a concerned look on her face and Lexy just looked plain confused.

"She can come with us." Tess eventually agreed, "We'll get a taxi."

"What is going on here?" Lexy asked.

"You don't wanna know" Cat added. "We'll see you guys later okay?" Cat glanced at Frankie, who was still helping Sadie.

"Bye" Tess and Lexy said together, before Lexy pulled out her phone and called a taxi.

So there's the first chapter, I hope you like the changes we made;)
