Hey. This chapter is about Ryder going through his first heartbreak (awwww) and Mel helping him get over it. Hope you like it xx
"W...what?" He stuttered, shocked at the news, tears welling in his deep brown eyes.
"We are breaking up." Holly announced.
"But I like you Holly. Why?"
"I don't have feelings for you anymore. I like someone else now." Holly got up and ambled out Fi the front door, not looking back once, leaving a heartbroken Ryder. Mel had been watching the scene from a small crack in the kitchen door.
"Harsh." She said awkwardly, walking towards Ryder. She put an arm around him. He shrugged it off and went upstairs to his room, just as Joe walked in.
"What's up with him?" He asked.
"First break up. I think he's okay on his own." Joe stopped her.
"Go talk to him." Mel reluctantly went upstairs. She knocked on his door.
"Ryder, can I come in?" No answer. Mel walked in anyway. He was sitting on the floor, head in his knees. Mel sat next to him, putting her arm around him.
"I saw what happened between you and Holly." Mel said, trying to keep him calm. He looked at her, cheeks damp with tears falling from his eyes. He put his head on her shoulder, resting against her.
"I thought it was going fine. Good actually. Until I saw her kissing another guy." He explained, still pouring his heart out. Mel gasped, she didn't know something like this would happen to someone as innocent as him.
"And then what?" She asked, rubbing his shoulder.
"I ignored it at first, but I asked her today about it. And you saw the rest." Sobbing, he put his head in his hands.
"You do know Holly isn't the best girl in the world. She's controls everything you do." Mel started.
"Yeah but I love her and I thought she at least liked me back."
"Listen, Ryder. Sometimes girls get annoyed when they don't get their way and I think Holly is just one of those people."
"So she's like you in the way that she hates people telling her what to do." He joked. Mel punched him playfully.
"Hey! But yeah she was lucky to have you. Remember that for me." Mel kissed him through his hair. "Come downstairs I'll make you a nice cup of tea." They both went downstairs.
Sorry for the chapter being so short. I'm very busy with school and when I started writing Melissa and Joey stories I was on sick leave so I had time to write a lot more. I have holidays in 2 days so I should be on the site more and will hopefully try and complete my other stories. Xxx
