A/N: Ok, so after reading all the angry reviews about how you obviously don't like my cliffhangers, i decided to be nice and write a chapter today. So just a warning, this chapter is kinda nuts. My friend Sara helped me write it, so if u like it i might need to enlist her. So enjoy it, review and tell me what u think, y'all know the drill! 143 Steph :)
"Shit" Melani said as she pulled away
"What?" Bradin said confused
"We might be getting married sooner than we planned. I gotta run, I'll see you later" she quickly kissed him and ran off in the direction of the person who saw.
She's going to kill me with this kiss and run stuff he thought Literally kill me
Melani walked down the beach to find Bradin the next afternoon. She heard a commotion past the rocks. She didn't even need to see who it was to know what was going on. She started off in a sprint, turning the corner just in time to see Tanner punch Bradin in the eye.
"Stay the hell away from her Farm Trash" he yelled as he hit him again "She's James', not yours."
"Tanner STOP!" she cried as she ran up to him and tried to push him off of Bradin "Tanner please, PLEASE STOP HITTING HIM!" she screamed before he pushed her onto the ground
"You little whore!" he said, getting off Bradin and walking to her "How dare you cheat on him! You little slut! He's going to be very interested in what you do while he's gone"
"Please Tanner, don't tell him. I'm begging you" she got down on her knees in front of him "I'll do anything, just please don't tell him. Please Tanner. Please say you'll keep my secret"
Tanner looked at her, then a smile spread across his face. Melani felt her stomach do a flip "You want me to keep quiet, fine. But you're going to have to work for it. It comes with a cost."
Bradin looked at him "No it doesn't. She's not doing anything for you. She's not you little whore Tanner." he said sternly
"We'll see" he said as he started walking away "You'll get a text from me later Mel. You better follow it, if you want your secret safe" he said, laughing
"Oh I have a bad feeling about this Brae" she said, putting her head in her hands.
Bradin walked over to her "I won't let him hurt you Angel, you mean too much to me. He's not going to hurt you."
She nodded "Let's go get something to eat, I can't think about this, its going to make me sick"
"Ok" He replied as he helped her up and wrapped his arm around her back "I promise Mel, he can't hurt you, I won't let him"
Melani and Bradin walked along the pier later that afternoon. All thoughts of Tanner had gone from both of their heads. They were just enjoying each other's company. Suddenly, Mel's phone went off
"I can't believe you have Barbie Girl as your text ringtone" he said laughing
"What? I love the song, it's so funny. Plus, it makes me laugh when I hear it, it has a double purpose. I still like my real one though" she said laughing
"Yeah, that's an awesome song. The Atari's are a great group. I remember listening to Boys of Summer back in Kansas"
Mel smiled as she flipped open her phone. Her smile quickly faded as she read the sender of the message "Brae, it's him" she said quietly "What do I do?"
Bradin looked at her and led her to a bench "You have to read it" he said "Read it out loud though, I want to know what he said"
Melani took a deep breath "Meet me outside Spanish Cove at 7:30. Don't be late and come alone. ALONE Melani -T-"
Bradin looked at her "There's no way I'm letting you go alone" he said bluntly "He's planning something and I'm not letting you be his guinea pig. Not going to happen"
"Bradin, I have to. If we're going to stay together I need to go see him...alone. I said I'd do anything, and I will, as long as it'll keep you safe. I have to do this" she looked at him seriously
Bradin looked at her "Fine, I'll let you go. But bring your phone, if you need me call and I'll be there in 2 minutes or less. I'm not going to let him hurt you" he hugged her "Be safe Angel"
"I will" she said looking into his eyes "I promise"
Melani looked at her watch how dare he tell me not to be late and then be late himself. He's such a hypocrite she thought, noticing it was 7:40. She saw him come out of one of the caves
"Ready to pay Mel" he said smiling
"What do you have planned and then I'll tell you" she said smartly
"Don't pull an attitude with me, I'm the only thing standing between your lover not getting the shit beaten out of him, so I'd be nice" he said coldly
"So why not tell James. You'd like nothing more than to see Bradin get beat up. I don't understand what could be so inviting that would make you want to give up that opportunity" she said
"Easy Mel. You" he replied "I might not get to see Bradin get the crap beating outta him, but I get you. That's enough for me"
"Define get me" she said, her voice tensing "I don't think I like the sound of that"
"Well, you seem to be able to be with guys other than your boyfriend, why not add one more" he said, walking toward her
"You're kidding me, right" she said, questionably "You want me to have sex with you in exchange for your silence. You're really going to sleep with your best friend's girlfriend?"
"He said I could have you when I wanted you." He said, still walking toward her. She had now backed up against one of the rocks, but he kept moving until he was on top of her. He slid his hand up her shirt but she pushed him away "Don't do anything stupid Mel. One wrong move and James knows EVERYTHING" he said, eying her
She bit her lip "So that's it, I sleep with you once and you'll drop it?" she said, her voice shaking
"No, you sleep with me when I want you to and I won't tell him. But not, I do all the work, you just lie there, sex, you have to do it too. Whatever I want, you do. And you can't tell your lover-boy Bradin."
"So you want me to be your whore in other words. To come running to you when you want some? You're kidding right? That's insane"
"Really, well you decide right now. Do you follow me into that cave and sleep with me, or do I pull out my phone and call James right here, right now. He'd be on the next plane here ya know"
"I have no doubts" she said
"Decide Melani. Decide now" he said, still against her
"I can't let you two hurt him. I'll do it" she said quietly
Tanner laughed "That's what I thought" he grabbed her hand and pulled her into one of the caves. It was illuminated by candles. "Remember, whatever I want, you do" he said as he pushed her against a wall and started kissing her. When she didn't kiss him back he pulled away "Kiss me Mel" he said sternly "And don't make me tell you to doeverything. If you make this hard, it'll be worse for you"
He leaned in and started kissing her again, and much to her dismay, she started kissing him back Just don't think about it she kept telling herself You're doing this for Bradin, just pretend it's Bradin.
Tanner pulled her onto the ground, so she was underneath him. Though she had stopped physically and verbally fighting him, he knew she was still unhappy about it "Stop" he said between kisses "It's just sex"
She pulled away "There's no such thing as 'just sex' " she said looking at him. She felt so inferior "Just tell me you have a condom"
He eyed her "What if I don't?" he said, looking at her
"Then I'd rather Bradin get the crap beaten out of him then get pregnant with your child. If you don't have one, I'm out of here" she looked at him seriously
He pulled out his wallet and showed her a whole bunch of them "I'm not stupid Mel. Now kiss me again" he said. She looked at him before slowly placing her lips against his.
About 5 minutes later, Tanner got bored of just making out and moved toward her neck. She moved her neck so he could get a better angle, while still thinking about Bradin.
Tanner noticed that she wasn't completely there and got frustrated "What the hell" he said, pushing her away "Get your head here, NOW" he yelled.
Now she was scared and began to sit up. "What do you want from me!" she yelled back "I'm doing what you want!" her voice shaking
"Fine" he said. She could tell he was pissed "Let's do it then" he pushed her onto the ground and began to kiss her roughly. While he was doing this, he held her arms above her with one arm and began pulling her shirt off with the other hand. With one pull he got it off of her, though it tore in the front "I like it rough" he said laughing as he pulled off her pants, still holding her down.
She felt tears burn her eyes, but she knew that if he saw her crying, that would be the end of it. When all her clothes wer off he looked at her "Is it my turn" she said, trying to sound composed, or as composed as somone naked could be
"Yeah" he said, letting go of her arms. "But I want you to give me head first. Then we'll go from there" She nodded as she started taking his clothes off.
The next 30 minutes were hell on earth for her. Just when she thought he couldn't do anymore, he'd do more. What he said was true though, he wasn't gentle at all. Everything ached when he was done with her. Once he was satisfied he got off of her and threw her clothes to her "You're amazing, you know that" he said as he helped her put them on
"Don't try to be nice, it doesn't suit you" she said smartly "Are we done or do you want me to do itagain?"
He laughed "I don't think I could take you again." He smiled wickedly "You're free to go, but keep your phone with you. When I need you I'll text you. And you better come"
"Anything for Bradin" she said as she walked past him to the opening of the cave.
He grabbed her arm "For that comment, you better have your phone later tonight" he said looking her in the eyes
She nodded as he let go and walked out of the cave. As soon as she knew he couldn't see her, she started running, tears pouring down her face. Bradin saw her and ran after her. She ran all the way to her house and threw herself on her bed. He walked in after her and sat on the edge of her bed. He put his hand on her back and screamed as she jumped about 3 feet "Angel, what did he do to you?" he asked, looking at the pain in her eyes
