2023-04-17 21:09:21She had liked Dallas since he had given her a cigarette in freshman year.
"I didn't, I promis-", I tried explaining to her, as more students came from behind the doors, tears strung down her face and she looked at me so hurt."It's okay if you did, it's a free world, you know I mean I've liked him forever and no- you can sleep with him, I understand you just got dumped by Zeke. But it's not nice to use people", she spat out, words I would never think would ever premiere out of the corner of the box where we keep the thoughts we don't say out loud. She had now broken this box and was letting her mouth speak freely, with no filter.Phones were being drawn from each corner, and I stood their frozen as people yelled and shouted in defense of the girl suddenly nobody liked, I was just the slutty girl who slept with her friend's crush."Listen I didn't have sex with Dallas", I tried telling her but she just nodded her head and brushed off the people that tried to assisRelated chapters

3 days LATERMel's POVThe ruckus caused by those harmful and untrue rumors, had now calmed down as people spoke about the summer bash and the last couple days of finals which decided for some if they failed or passed.I was then again, at my cornered locker, people watching and making sure a whole group of eyes wouldn't dart towards me at the same time. That's when I saw her, gallivanting over. There was no one beside her, and she was heading straight towards me. Lola waved slightly as I shut my locker and kept walking in the opposite direction. Yet I heard her shoes clacking behind me to catch up."Hey wait up", she hollered and I stopped in my tracks, hoping that she wasn't pretending like nothing had happened.She caught up to me and we continued walking as she began speaking, about her day and her chemistry exam that was the hardest thing she'd ever done. She spoke as if just 3 days ago, she didn't cause a whole scene over a false rumor.I didn't s

They finally decided we should go to the party after they joked about being fashionably late as if anyone was waiting for them.The girl that had picked us up was sweet and she seemed to be a friend of Lola's who was an upperclassmen who was going.The party had already started at the lodge when we had arrived, and both Lola and Max had already started drinking.I caught his eye, as he spoke to a group of friends. I hadn't seen the girl to his right before, his friends from school crowded him. He was quite the popular figure.He broke away from his friends heading towards where I had situated myself near the bar."I'm surprised you came?", he spoke over the loud music, the smell of alcohol lingered over his breath but it was so light. But the smell of cigarettes was frequent against him, I hated that smell. I backed against the wall as I felt the memories coming back in again."You invited me, I wouldn't want to hurt your fragile ego if I didn't come",

"Fuck, we've gotta go", he said running further into the woods, pulling me with him. His hand latched onto my forearm, pulling me whichever way he swayed."Where are we going?", I asked after he had slowed down, his hand still attached to mine."My mom's cabin is down here", he said, pushing branches that fell in our way, I had hoped he wasn't lost in the woods that would soon become pitch dark."You have a cabin here, I thought that was yours, where the party was?", I asked just out of curiosity."That's Liam's, my mom's cabin is right over the bend here", he said clearing the situation up, and I nodded my head still shocked with how I had even came to this party tonight."So we're laying low here, Liam grabbed my car when he left from the back entrance so the cops wouldn't run the plates, he'll drop it off tomorrow", the cabin soon approached in the middle of the clearing.The cabin was more like a real life mansion, it was large and strikingly high.

"Thank you for coming so quickly and serving the community, I heard there music it was so loud, and I was disappointed by these young kids, they really should be listening to music that's good for their soul, like holy music", Dallas mocked his very existence. Dallas's hand extended to the cop, as he shook it firmly, as a sign of confidence."So right sir, they were drinking too", he said as he grabbed his wallet from his back pocket. He gasped, loudly, and the cop nodded in agreement with such a surprise."Is that so?", he asked and the cop nodded his head with disappointment."Kids drinking these days, that's horrible", an accent now highlighted his voice and he sounded more proper, than anyone I had ever heard."Here's my ID", he handed his license over to the cop as he lightly glanced over it and looked at his clipboard at the names of the residents."It's my parent's cabin, just staying out here for the weekend", he said, assuring the cop."Anyone

Those days was when I was still trying to process Daniel's death, how could he die after all he's done to us. He took the easy way out, avoiding the consequences, the conversations which were needed. Sometimes I wish I could take the easy way out, avoid the hurt, the feelings just like he did.I wanted to leave, here, I wanted to leave, but as I heard the rain trickle, and my phone which was now dead. I was lost of places to run too. I just wanted to lie down, I just wanted to be alone."And what you watched me? You got off on me crying? You're sick", I wanted him to feel the disgust in my stomach the disgust he had caused."I didn't mean it like that", he tried saying as I made my way up the stairs and he followed."Sure you didn't", I shouted which made him stay in his spot as I walked up the stairs."I'm going to sleep", I said, and I could see him from the corner of my eye go back downstairs.The master bedroom was large, larger than I had ever seen

1 month laterNatalie's POVAll I could think about was the party, we were hours away before the launch of the magazine. And I was on the edge of my seat, hoping this would go well. People were running across the venue, fixing every slight problem, every slight issue or just checking for a second time that everything was absolutely perfect.I knew I shouldn't have been running around, I could already feel the tiredness come over me. I knew I was pushing my limits and so did everyone else, which is why Melody had ordered me to sit or she would call Nolan, and then by the time he comes he'll start suggesting I shouldn't go. I would rest, but I wouldn't miss this, this was my work, our work, it was something I had worked on for months."Here, drink this", Melody handed over a bottle of water, and I quickly opened it hoping it would recharge me as fast as coffee did."Can I have coffee?", I asked and she looked at me as if I had just asked her this an hour ago,

Mel's POVThe car ride was silent as Natalie and Nolan both worked in the car and all I had was the looming presence of my mind asking all these question.I don't know why I was so nervous giving the clothes back to Dallas. Nothing happened between us, and nothing would, but I noticed maybe he could be nice sometimes. He was cold, arrogant, mean and some other choice words I can think of, but he may just have a soft side.Maybe we could be friends, I had already pushed out the idea that anything could happen between me and him. He clearly didn't want anything to do with me, but he was kind enough to let me stay there and to not let me drown in wet clothes and he probably saved me from getting in trouble with Natalie from being at that party in the first place."Just smile and nod if anyone talks to you", Natalie said snapping me out of my thoughts as I knew the amount of her success riding on this one event. I would make sure not a single person messed this eveni

He was right, I cared. Zeke cared the most about what everyone thought, he made sure we were in everyone's good graces and we were even voted the couple to most likely to get married. That was all him though, it was always all about him."I should go", I told him as he leaned against the wall and I went to open the door, just as it opened itself."I'm so sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here", I noticed the voice at once and turned around knowing if they saw me with Dallas I would be ratted out to Natalie."It's okay", I said in a lower voice with my back turned towards the door, and I heard the door almost close and then I heard the hesitation."Melody?", I turned around and noticed Tyler at the doorway and luckily Dallas still against the wall, quiet as a mouse."What are you doing in here, the parties out there?", he asked, trying to joke with me."I just wanted some air, so uh what are you doing here?", I asked him, hoping he would leave before he

3 years later I jumped out of my seat, rushing to turn in my 1,000 word essay written in the span of three hours. I slipped it on the professor's desk and held onto my pair of books, rushing out of the school's doors. People rushed and sprinted past me, as I looked down the street for my red ride. Like a proper man Dallas was, he was leaning against the car, reading. It was the last string of our junior classes before we went on a much needed and deserved spring break trip. Dallas and I had been looking forward to spring break, ever since we had planned it. Davina and I had planned a trip, with some of our other friends. Each couple was all going to head down to Greece for the remainder of the week. We both needed a break massively, especially some alone time with just the two of us would be good. I needed just time basking in his gaze and the suns. It sounded heavenly. Especially because Dallas and I were going to drive down to home for two days, right before the trip. I needed to

"Melody Clemente". My principal dearly said as I walked across the stage and shook his hand, I beamed at the person next to him and instead of the handshake that normally would have been given. He hugged me, Nolan had been something of a father figure the past few years. He loved my sister like she was the whole solar system, and he loved me too. He saw me as his own flesh and blood, he cared so much. "I'm so proud of you". He said, his eyes glistening as I opened my own eyes. He held his breath, as he kissed my cheek and I walked across the stage. I smiled as I walked down the stage and took a seat. The hundred roll call of students I had become frequented with passed by, my heart smiling as my friends passed by. The people I had learned to love, to cherish. As soon as it was over, I ran to my family. Each with hugs and bouquets of flowers, each and every single one of them had shown up. Avery had come as well as Caroline and Alison too, and Leah as well, and Vi and her had been t

One year Later Tomorrow was a big day. The end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one, filled with adventures, sadness, and joy. But most importantly that independent feeling of searching for yourself amongst the other millions let out to the world. And it was amusing, satisfying and uplifting to know I was able to take this journey on with my best friend. "Mel". Natalie knocked on the door, then opened it. And as she stared at me in the exceptional white dress I had picked, tears watered down her face. I was going to be let out on my own, no longer hers. But the world's in a way. "You look beautiful". She gushed, my cheeks blushing a maddening red. She wiped the tears from her cheeks as I turned to face the mirror, my own reflection beaming back at me. "Tomorrow's a big day, huh?" She said, her voice rising and soft from the tears. She understood it, the feeling of saying goodbye, letting go. "What if I'm not ready?" I asked her, my voice stumbling on the next words to come

She was smiling, the brightest I had ever seen her smile. As she was surrounded with people who loved her. She was happy, to have freedom, to not feel trapped on a hospital floor.It had been three weeks since we had arrived back, and Dallas and I had thrown her a party. A party for the masses, with her friends from the hospital visiting, even that small sweet boy who she wanted to watch a movie with. She was happy, and healthy and safe and she was responding amazingly to the medicine that she was on.It was weird to say she was okay now, I think even Dallas had no idea what to do with himself. He was completely immersing himself in his new project ever since he's gotten back. Keeping it under the wraps for me I assume, but the mysteries behind him will unveil soon, I'm sure.But I felt at peace, the kinks of our relationship fixed to the most we could try. He and I were like lightning every single day. The most amazing chemistry that lived beneath us.Vi was the

It has been five days, of waiting, of breathing each other's air in the small hospital room we were given. We spent the past five days talking. His mind apologizing for every single misstep he could've made. But the issues lied there, he needed help. He needed help more than anyone else here, signally defined by the fact that he wanted to believe that he didn't have anyone. That he was all alone.That he didn't have a system supporting him, a system looking out for him.I wanted to carry his weight, take on his pain, but he carried so much that it was already a part of him. I don't think he knew how to part with it when it was all over. And it saddened me more than anything. It saddened me that this was his life, filled with pain of all sorts. He was afraid to have a life without it I think."She'll be awake soon". I said, softly, stroking his hair to the side as he laid on my lap."She's supposed to be awake already". He said, sighing as we both stared at

He left the office with a stab in his heart, as I chased after him. He was angry, upset at every negative choice word I could think of to describe him and he hated me."Dallas. Please". I yelled out at as he turned to look at me. His eyes stone cold in anger towards me, my heart beating madly as he ravaged me with a single look, brushing into the very depths of my eyes."You don't get to follow me, you don't get to say my name. You are taking away the one person I've loved the most. The one person. I need her, and you-you don't get that". His tears strung high, his heart maddened like a lion roaring from the depths of his heart. He looked at me with hatred, something in all of these moments we shared he had never truly hated me, not like this, not like this moment."Just leave". He begged, my feet frozen in their very place. My mind lost into his eyes, the stare of hatred not of love. "Just leave". He begged again, his eyes ready to tear me apart, piece after p

The rush of the wind carried us home, well it tried to survive beneath us but the worry crept in as we loaded the plane. Vi stared longingly at the view before we stepped into the plane. Like she was saying goodbye to her heart as she left. Like her heart was being left here.Dallas had the same expression. He didn't know it, but it was written all over his face, the dread of returning. The dread of resurfacing the reality of our lives.He knew what this meant, this idea that everything was about to be gone, the memories, the truth. I think the reality of this hurt Dallas the most."Leaving is the worst part". Dallas said, his arm wrapping around Vi as she looked up at him. She smiled softly, aware of the situation she was in, aware of the world she was in. Aware of the ending to her story."I'm not getting better". She heaved out, her voice breaking, her heart melting. And I finally saw that she was holding all this in, because she didn't believe it would get th

It's a gawdy feeling. A gawdy feeling as my chest tightened staring out of the home's balcony. We were leaving today. Leaving our escape to a reality filled with nothing close to normalcy and I didn't and wouldn't be able to accept the fact that everyone was waiting for Vi to just give up. She didn't have it in her, she had the fight in her and it was apparent, apparently loud."Thinking of something?" A hand snaked around my waist, as I felt his head rest on my shoulder. I didn't know how his head was straight properly, I didn't know how he wasn't a mess, but whatever was working I hoped it continued for him."Just how- beautiful it is". Lie. An apparent lie. I wasn't a fan of forests. The empty nothing, empty nobody. They were amusing, but not what's in them. That's nothing but amusing."It is beautiful". He agreed. His small form of agreement won me over a million reasons why I should pry through his mind."I gave Vi her breathing treatment, but she's r

My stomach stormed aloud, my heart too as I looked down at Dallas from my bedroom window, there he stood with a bag of food and my work for the week. I had enjoyed the company of my personal mail boy more than I should've. I slid down my ladder out of the window as he smiled."I missed you". He said, pushing his hands around me as I looked over at him and he smiled, he moved his head to the side as I pulled myself against him. My lips locked with his as I breathed in his husky scent, the way the words rolled off his tongue."I missed you too." I said, kicking off the other bag he had brought. He moved it to the side as I heard the thud of my favorite thing, of my absolute favorite thing. He saw my curious look as he opened the bag wider and he moved the bag to the side and I saw books more and more books as I toppled over him, hugging him with everything I had in me."Thank you for keeping me from losing my mind". I said, watching as he looked at me with a proud smile
