A/N: Hey guys, Mel here again! This time with my chapter. :) I know it's been forever since Mikaela and I have posted a chapter, but with school and work I'm crazy busy. D': Sorry for the lack of updates, guys! Maybe next weekend I'll be able to get another chapter up! Thanks for being patient! Here's chapter 13!
Chapter 13
Mikaela looked over her shoulder into the distance, watching Cody and Randy closely. It was clear that the two were going at it again, and she could tell that soon one of them was going to overstep their boundaries soon.
AJ sighed. "Why do you keep going back and forth with them, Mikaela? Why do you keep leading them on and breaking ones heart, but them breaking the others in only a matter of time? You go back and forth, leading them on, sleeping with each of them behind one another's back….I don't get it…I don't understand."
Mikaela glared at her. "You don't understand because you don't know what love it, AJ." She said coldly before getting up, and running over to Cody and Randy. Gluing herself to Randy's side, taking his hand into hers. He looked as if he was going to explode.
Randy stared at Cody. "So you're going to blackmail me now? That's cute, Rhodes. Really cute," he growled. "You really don't have anything else better to do with your life, do you? Other than to fuck with people, I mean? And you must be pretty damn stupid to piss me off, because I could beat you so badly you won't move for a week." He spat coldly before taking off down the shoreline on his own.
Mikaela looked at Cody in response as she glanced over her shoulder quickly, seeing Randy walk away. "You selfish idiot, what's your problem? Are you blind? It was never you, Cody. It was never you! It was always Randy! It was always him. You were never good enough for me, anyway. Randy is ten times the man you'll ever be. You'll never be him. You'll never be anything!" She yelled.
Cody stared back at Mikaela. "It was always him?" Cody laughed bitterly. "Please. It's been me ever since you ran into me in the hallway, and I warned you about Mel. Just like I warned you about her, I'll warn you about him."
"Mel has nothing to do this!" She shouted. "I don't even have a best friend anymore because of you." She sneered. "Mel is gone because of you."
"Because of me, this is my fault Mikaela!? No! She's gone because she's caught in between Zack and Mike and can't make up her mind! Like you with Randy and I!"
Mikaela laughed harshly. "You really must be stupid, Cody. Because I told you I chose Randy, and I meant it."
Cody flinched. "Don't you dare come back to me the next time you wanna screw me, because I'm done playing your games. I'm done with you. That's all you do, Mikaela. You play games, and you fuck people over. But guess what? This time, I'm not gonna let you hurt me. No, not again. This time, I'm leaving you, and I'm not coming back."
Mikaela laughed again. "You know you'll come back to me, Cody. We both know you can't stay away from me. You love me too much." She said, mocking him with a smirk on her face. "I just don't love you back. But then again….I never really did."
With that said, Mikaela turned on her heel, and walked down towards the shore to catch up with Randy. He was now sitting in the sand, pushing it around with his hands as he stared off into the distance.
She sat down beside him, stroking his cheek. "What's the matter babe?" She asked quietly, locking his eyes with hers.
"Nothing…" he mumbled, trailing off. He was so sick of Cody. He couldn't stand him, and he wanted to punch him in the face. Well, in all reality, Randy wanted to a hell of a lot more than just punching Cody in the face, but he knew it wouldn't do him any good, so he didn't even bother.
Mikaela frowned. "Babe, talk to me, what is it?"
"I'm just so sick of Cody coming in between us. It's annoying. He's annoying. He better stay the hell away from you."
"It doesn't matter what he does, or what he says. Because I want you Randy. I don't want anyone else. It's you. It always has been you."
Randy's eyes softened as he looked at Mikaela. "Always?"
Mikaela nodded, covering her mouth with his. "Always."
Randy kissed her back, deepening it. He didn't have anything to worry about. Just like Mikaela promised. She was his, and he was hers. There was nothing to worry about.
And if Cody were to try and get their way again, it would be the biggest mistake of his life.
Elsewhere on the island, Zack was walking around looking for Mel, but he hadn't had any luck. He ran into Eve, though, who looked to be making something of some sort. "Have you seen Mel?" Zack asked, looking down at her, his hazel eyes hopeful.
Eve shook her head. "I think she went on a walk with Mike. Why?"
Zack's face fell. Mike. He had lost Mel to Mike, and it was killing him. But he had no one else to blame other than himself. He had pushed Mel away, he had taken his ring back, he had yelled at her, and he had broken up with her. But he wished that he could take it back. More than anything.
"I'm such an idiot…" The Long Native said, trailing off, sitting beside Eve. "Remind me why I left her?"
Eve looked up at him. "Because you let your jealousies get the best of you, and dumped her."
Zack flinched, "you could've worded it a little nicer."
"You asked me a question, and I answered it." Eve shortly replied with a shrug of her shoulders. "But it's not like Mel doesn't love you, because she does. That girl would die for you."
Zack nodded. "I know. I know. I'm stupid, no need to tell me twice" He sighed, running his hands through his dirty-blonde hair Mel liked it when he had dyed it a dark brown, but he liked it with a bit of blonde, and so he had kept it that way ever since he met her. He missed Mel, but he highly doubted Mel missed him, or even thought about him anymore. He was sure that Mel had moved on, and he was nothing more to her than a piece of her past, a regret.
Mel Brooks was walking around the forest with Mike, their fingers intertwined. It was amazing him how different she was when she was happy. It had been a long time since he had seen Mel happy, but he was glad that it was him who was making her this happy, and not anyone else.
Mel stood at the edge of a waterfall. "Wanna go for a swim?" She asked, tilting her head to one side, giving him an innocent look, with an innocent smile.
Mike chuckled, stroking her face. "Go swimming with you? Of course I want to."
Mel grinned widely as she took off her top, leaving on her bra on, and short shorts so she would have a t-shirt to sleep in tonight. "Cannonball!" She yelled at the top of her lungs before jumping into the water, and waiting for Mike to follow her once she had gotten in, and came up for air.
Mike removed his shirt and his jeans before jumping in after Mel, and pulling her close to him, stroking her cheek. "You know this is the happiest I've seen you since…I can't even remember?" He asked quietly. "It's been so long, Melly. Too long."
Mel looked at him. Their eyes had locked, that was always a dangerous thing for Mel, because her breath would easily get caught in her throat. "It's because of you." She softly whispered. "You took the pain away."
Mike kissed her softly. "I'll do anything to make you happy, Mel. I don't care what I have to do. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters to me."
Mel could feel her eyes welling up, tears behind them. "You saved me. Thank you." She whispered, resting her forehead on his shoulder. "Thank you for saving me. Thank you for loving me."
Mike ran his fingers through his girlfriend's wet hair. "Shhhh," he whispered. "Don't cry. Its okay, I'm going to take good care of you. I promise."
Mel looked up at him, standing under the waterfall. "I know you will." She said, kissing him deeply, and Mike kissed her back.
After the swim, the two made their way back, when Mel ran into someone.
She yelped. "Stranger danger! Stranger danger!" Mel screamed at the top of her lungs, causing Mike to whip around, dropping their fruit. "Fuck!" He yelled, watching their food hit the ground. He then looked up at his girlfriend.
"What's wrong?" He asked, giving her a confused look.
"I don't know this guy!" She screamed, pointing to the guy in front of her, who she had clearly scared. "He ran into me!"
The guy looked at Mel from head to toe. She had put her t-shirt back on, but ripped it up into a tank top. "Anyone ever tell you that you're short?"
Mel gave him a look. "I don't talk to strangers!" She said, stomping her foot like a child.
"You just did." The guy said with a smirk. "My name is Ronnie. It's nice to meet you…" He said, trailing off, waiting for Mel to say her name. When she hadn't, he had just continued anyways. "Well, I see you aren't going to share your name, so I'll just call you short stuff."
Mel gave him a pouty look. "Whatever. Go back to your house, or wherever you came from!"
"My house? Short stuff, reality check, I don't have a house here. I'm stuck here. I have been for five months."
Mel shrieked. "Five months!? You've been here for that long!?" She screamed, pulling at her hair that was still wet. "I've only been here for two weeks!" She said, screaming still. "I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm too young to die! I'm too young!" She said, plopping down onto the sand.
Ronnie laughed, and then turned to Mike. "Is she always like this?"
Mike laughed too, nodding. "She…doesn't do well in these types of situations…she tends to panic." He said, kneeling beside her, and kissing her temple. "You're not going to die, babe. You'll be just fine."
Mel stood to her feet. "Just fine!? Mikey! He's been on here for five months! I won't last that long!"
Mike chuckled, picking Mel up, and throwing over his shoulder. "You need a nap."
Ronnie and Mike talked the whole way back until they reached their huts. Mel ran over to her brother right away. "There's a guy on the beach who's been here for five months!" She screamed, pointing to Ronnie. "I can't be here that long! I'll die!"
"And you'll give me gray hair." He said, kissing his sisters forehead before walking over to Ronnie, Mel quickly behind her older brother.
"Hey, I'm Punk."
"Ronnie." Ronnie replied, shaking Punk's hand. "Is that your sister?" He asked, pointing to Mel.
Punk nodded. "I see the two of you already met."
"Yep, she almost broke my eardrums, but yeah."
Punk laughed, "that's Mel for you."
Mel pouted. "He was a stranger! I was protecting myself! Hello! Stranger danger!" She yelled. "Gosh, people these days…" She said, taking Mike be the hand, and to a nearby tree.
"Promise me you'll be here when I wake up?"
Mike nodded, kissing her forehead. "I promise."
A/N: I know this was kind of short, sorry guys! D': I just have so much to do, and it's already after midnight here, so I wanted to post this before it was too late! Keep a lookout for chapter 14! It should be up soon! –Mel
