Disclaimer: I'm sorry to say this guys but...sigh I don't own Blood and Chocolate (sob). Yes well at least in my dreams I do... :-)
Chapter 4: The Room of Forests and Full Moons...
Slowly Melonie combed through the selection of paints. Which to choose, which to choose...? Hmm, do I want forest or olive green? She mused to herself. Behind her an annoyed Vivian began stomping her foot. They had already been at Marty's Paint Shop for an hour, and still Melonie hadn't gotten all the paint she needed.
"Come on Mel...How much paint do you need?" Vivian asked impatiently. "I mean really... do you even know what you're painting??"
Melonie slowly reached out and grabbed both colors. "Of course I do silly..." she replied, rolling her eyes, and turning around "You're going to love it..."
"So tell me what it is!!!!" Vivian asked excitedly.
"Sorry...that's a no go, but I promise you'll be the first to see the new room. Okay?"
Vivian stomped her foot and growled at Melonie, but all Melonie did was turn back towards the paints. A half an hour later Melonie and an even more annoyed Vivian decide to leave the paint shop. Slowly they make their way home laden down with bags of paints and brushes. When they arrived home both girls walked into Melonie's room, and set 6 of the 7 bags down. Esme's voice trailed slowly up the stairs asking if they would like anything for dinner before she went out.
"Are you girls sure you don't want anything??" Esme asks for the second time.
"No mom we're fine thank you." Vivian shouted back with a look of disgust on her face "I can't believe it. This is the third time this week that she's gone out with him..." A low growl emanates from her clenched teeth. Melonie smiled to her self as she began blobbing paints onto a piece of scrap cardboard. I wonder who this he fellow is...hmmm... maybe Vivi's a little jealous??? She thought to herself, and soon after she decided to voice it. "So Vivi who is this mystery man, and do I detect a hint of jealous??" Mel asked cocking on eyebrow. Suddenly Vivian turned on her...
"His name is Gabriel, and no I'm not jealous. He's a pompous, over bearing, loud mouthed, son of a bitch who should burn in hell. God I mean really...he thinks he's all that, but he's not!!! And besides I have Aiden..." She said, rage making her face turn a light shade of red. Melonie held her hands slowly up in submission.
"Okay fine, whatever I didn't mean anything by it. Jeez who shoved the bitchy stick up your ass...No wait, it can't just be a stick, it's gotta be the whole damn tree!!!" Melonie says smiling again, and laughing to herself. Vivian opened her mouth to make a sly come back, but for once she couldn't. She instead swiveled on her heels and stomped straight out of Mel's room. Hehe... Melonie thought to herself ...finally some peace and quiet... and with that Melonie inserted her favorite CD into the Stereo that she borrowed from Vivian, and began to paint. Music pumped out of the stereo, and she quickly turned to her favorite song...
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
Would it be wrong?
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And I'm contemplating suicide
Cuz I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
I never realized I was spread too thin
To live was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry!
Feeding on chaos
And living in sin
Downward spiral where do I begin?
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another.
Searching to find a love up on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils
Cuz I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running outa crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I can't go on living things this way
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding!
Would it be wrong?
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And I'm contemplating suicide
Cuz I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I can't go on living this way
Can't go on
Living thing this way
Nothing's alright
Wow... Melonie thought ... How can someone know what I feel, and yet not know me at all?? I guess it's just something that happens... Slowly she began to see her blobs and swirls of paint take form. All night she slaved over her room, and most of the next day. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She just COULDN'T stop painting, but that's how it was with her. Once she started something she just couldn't stop. By the time she was done, bags had formed under her eyes, her arm was permanently raised in front of her, and her head was pounding. God it's beautiful...she thought to herself ...My best work yet...I have to go get Vivian.
Soon Vivian walked into the room with her hands over her eyes. Slowly Melonie put her in the middle of the room. "Okay you can look now..." Melonie said with an excited grin on her face. Vivian dropped her hands and gasped. On all four of the walls were trees, each branch a different swirl of twigs and leaves. If you looked on the ceiling you could see a full moon, and tons of little stars blinking back at you. A river ran in-between the trees on one side of the room, and if you look even closer at the trees you can see wolfs running through them on the other side. "My god..." Vivian says breathlessly "...Melonie...It's beautiful!!!"
"Thank you..." Melonie says breaking out in an even bigger grin. Before she could say anything else though Rafe and the rest of the Five come in...
"Hey babe...What's shaking...?" Rafe says in a low husky voice. Slowly he looks around the room "Wow...looks like we've got another painter in the pack..." Grinning, he slowly walked towards Melonie and wrapped his arms around her. She giggled a little, and then they begin to kiss, lightly at first and then harder and harder until Melonie couldn't think of anything but Rafe and his scent. God...He makes me feel just like Jake did...
At this thought she untangled her hands from his dark brown, shoulder length hair and sighed. She went and plopped sluggishly into her bed. "Man...I'm beat...I could just fall asleep right now..." she muttered aloud as her eyes begin to grow heavy and lower. Suddenly she felt the weight of her bed shift, and Rafe was lying beside her. "You don't mind if I lay with you do you..." he muttered softly into her ear. She shook her head and the last thing she remembered before closing her eyes was the rest of the Five and Vivian leaving, and Rafe lips meeting her own while is hand makes its way up to her breasts...
A/N: Hey guys...I really didn't plan on ending it here, but alas I must. I still have all my Sophomore English homework, Geometry homework, and Biology homework left to do. I'll be up all night if I don't start it right now. I promise though...the next chappie is going to be GREAT!!!! Lots of love,
Mel
