"We'll find our love in the sky."-The Weeknd
I wrote this chapter while I listened to the song "Sweater Weather" and let me tell you, I love that song!
I'm so sorry the last chapter was so short, you guys deserved a longer chapter. I feel like a horrible writer now, but this one will be long, I'm just pushing through a writer block for this story! Arranged love is easy to write at this moment, this one not so much.
Melanie's point of view;
Irritation. It was thick through my blood that was currently boiling. Why would even dare to smirk at me after the talk we just had, the one that made me feel the harsh let down. Rejection. Although I've never had a boyfriend so I really did not know how it felt to be rejected. I was used to looking but never touching or talking too, but I never once got the guts to talk to them. And now here he was, sweat beads caressing his perfect face. I don't think he could ever truly look bad even if he tried. Of course, it was another matter of looking and not touching, well ever again. I was getting some water, when my lips started to buzz again. The pair of lips that had previously touched mine, still heated mine. I could still feel his arms snaked around my waist and burning my torso. Why did that even have to happen, why did I have to be so stupid. I casually finished working around 7 o'clock, thank god this bitter day was almost over. I was making my way back to my room alone, everyone was in the game room talking still about their lives. I really didn't want to hang around and spread my misery to everyone. I have been mumbling to myself through the dark corridor. I was almost there when I felt a strong grip pull me in while they take my lips in. I could felt my body felt against their grip as they pushed me against the wall, the burning feeling made this all too firmiluar, it was Jared. I let my finger glide against his skin, enjoying every spark that shot up through my cells. Every spark that made my bones start to feel weaker and weaker. His lips were dominating mine, but I wasn't one to complain. They were soft and warm, and very fulfilling to mine. I once again felt those same strong arms wrap around my frame and make my bones deeply tingle. I pulled away, feeling myself deeply breathe.
"I was so stupid earlier." He said in a deep huff as he grabbed my face. I agreed, he was very stupid.
"Yeah,you were." I said in a laugh as I smiled, my lips gently touching his. I'm not sure how feelings can somehow manage to come into someone like this. I mean sure it has been a month, but isn't that a little quick? I couldn't help but pull his lips into mine once more, I'm not sure how long his mind is made up for. I was not going to pass this up.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me into my room, sitting me down on my bed. He clearly must have wanted to talk about something.
"Melanie, I think your amazing, your nothing like these girls here. Your actually strong and you do whatever you want. Your so beautiful, without even trying. If you weren't 17, i would make you mine in a heartbeat." He said as he grabbed my hand. I knew my heart was terribly speeding up, Im pretty sure everyone could hear it echo in the halls. Was this going to be a bad talk or a good talk? I can feel my nerves shifting and growing anxious.
"Jared, don't worry about age. I turn 18 soon, and in pretty sure Jeb wouldn't care if I explained it. We can simply hide it from everyone, no one would have to know. Only we would know, and maybe Jaimie." I tried to tell him as looked deep into his golden orbs. They showed how nervous he truly was, like he was torn between two different decisions. I'm not sure why he was so torn, did he really think I was something special? Special enough to make a conflict grow deep inside of his head. Surely, he could just get over me if things didn't work out?
"There's something about you, your worth the wait. I don't care if I hide my life from people. It's worth it." He said as he grabbed my face and peppered it with kisses. These feelings were twisting and winding inside of my body, I can't describe them. I have never felt anything like this before, it was magical. We heard someone walking down the corridor, there heavy boots clicking against the hard cave floors. We jumped apart from each other, it was too late for Jared to flees. I quickly tried to think of a conversation to start.
"I know we have to go on a raid soon, I just don't know when. I need tampons though." I spit out just in time to see Jeb standing in the doorway. I couldn't help but fight the blush that has now been on my face. I mean, I really did need tampons but no one else needed to know that well until now. I looked at Jeb, his face was a slight white color.
"What's going on here?" He asked, I knew he heard about the tampons, I basically yelled it. He was the last person that would even need to see Jared look at me the wrong way.
"I came to see if Melanie would like to go on another raid with the group, she saved all of our lives last time." Jared blankly said, trying not to smile. I knew he was proud of me and I was proud of myself to an extent. I could see Jebs face light up, knowing that he could be proud of me for something.
"I think that would be a great idea, we need all the help we can get. Whenever you guys decide to head out just tell the group." He said with a smile. I was waiting for him to leave, but he clearly wasn't leaving until Jared followed him. I said goodnight to them both, trying not to make my goodnight to Jared seem better. As they walked out, Jared turned and flashed me a smile. I couldn't help but squeal when I knew they were completely gone. I heard another pair of footsteps, hoping it would be my little brother. I turned to see it was Ian and Kyle.
"You know, you have to pick one of us." Kyle chirped it, including a smirk while they walked closer to me. My nerves started to feel uncomfortable, they were enclosing me.
"I don't want either of you two, get out." I tried to say, I tried to raise my voice. The movement of Kyle's hand going over my mouth made the words muffle. I knew at this time everyone was either sleeping or they were trying too. Where was Jamie?
"You know, I guess Jaimie decided to sleep in the game room? Strange huh?" Kyle said as he pulled me close to his body. I felt in danger, these two would obviously be stronger than me. My body was in panic mode, I needed help. I could feel my body being pushed up against the wall, Kyle touching it. I was trying to squirm away from his touch. I kicked him in the shin, but he would budge. I even tried to bite his hand, but that did nothing more than get a hand wrapped around my throat. I could feel tears start to cloud my eyes, I wouldn't be winning this battle. I was trying to push him away when I felt his hands start to pull my tank too up, Ian holding my hands back. If I could kill them right now, I would. I was kicking every part of them that I could reach. I closed my eyes, waiting for the worse when I heard someone clear their throat. It was Jared. His face was red with anger, his veins were pulsing in his forehead. My eyes were fixed on him walking up to Kyle. I shut my eyes, but I heard a loud smack. I opened them to see blood dripping off of Kyle's nose, his hands trying to stop the blood from dripping down onto his clean shirt. I was now settled on the floor, a little worked up about what happened. Ian swung for Jared missing him, but Jared returned the favor by punching him in the mouth.
Both brothers were now up against Jared, he was sticking up for me.
"Why would you touch her?" Jared asked through his teeth. His fists were clenched to his sides, blood cascading down from the one. I quickly got to my feet, anger now thickening my skin. I turned to the oldest twin, bringing my fist into his eye. He stumbled back, I felt Jared pull me back and push me behind him as Kyle lunged at me. He was met once again with Jared's fist.
"How would Jeb like this Jared? Robbing the cradle I see." Ian said, clearly being cocky. I felt Jared take a deep breath in as he pushed Ian against the wall by his throat.
"Jared stop." I yelled, Jared turned to me, his eyes cold with anger. His golden warm orbs were now cold and icy. Was he really that upset by Ian's comment? Or was it the fact that I tried to stop him.
"Let me go, were leaving." Ian said as he tried to struggle out of Jared's intense grip. Jared let him leave with his brother, both of their faces had blood on them.
"Are you okay?" He said to me as he rushed over to me. I nodded, my thoughts were keeping my brain occupied. His hand lightly touched my arm, the sensation was too much. I leaned into his touch, taking it in. I took my hand and traced Jared's jaw line as I gently kissed him. The sparks weren't as heavy as they usually were.
"Mel, did you hear what Ian said?" He asked as he sighed. Oh my god, not this again. I can't help but get annoyed at Jared's indecisive mind.
So what do you think is going to happen? Is Jared going to make a big deal about it all? And is someone going to tell Jeb. Thank you all for liking this story, and I hope Melanie and Jared are growing on you all as much as I love em. (: I mean mainly also because I ship max and saoirse in real life haha!
