WOOHOOO FINALLY OVER 100 REVIEWS! Thanks so much guys it really means a lot.
Song- Recommendation: 22 by Taylor Swift (It's a great song)
Shout-out/Dedication: Never done this before but the same person I was going to give a shout-out to was also the 100th review so she also gets a dedication, guest SSS thanks for the review it was the best constructive criticism I've gotten yet. Sorry for the mistakes I guess I miss some but I'll try to be more thorough. I'm also going to try and speed it up but I thought It'd be better to g`o slow for this part since it is so important to see why Melissa's mad and how her and Ian came together through thick and thin also the process of saying "I love you" is long because I want to show their insecurities and doubts plus the not so great parts about relationships like, life. But I will most definitely make Eddie famous in the very near future so don't worry :) thanks again for the feedback and keep them coming. P.s You didn't have any mistakes haha. Alright bye.
**Review for Chapter 15**
I gently pull out the small piece of white paper which was closed in a way that made me unable to read. I lightly unfold both sides showing the construction in the shape of a heart. I smile at the sight of it, and read out loud the three words I never expected, three words I have been waiting to hear, and three words that will change both our lives forever "I Love You."
Chapter 16- If only
Breathe Loren breathe, in, and out, in, and out; there you go, now say it back. That's when I freeze; I never actually thought I'd be able to say those words to him that's why I never tried. But right now in this moment he expects me to, which means I have to, right? Well I don't have to but I mean I want to, because I do love him, I more than love him I am totally one hundred percent head over heels in love with him, just why can't it come out of my mouth?
I look up at him probably as red as a tomato, I'm trying so hard to get the words I need to say out. But right now it's not coming so instead I preoccupy both my lips and his by pulling him in to a forceful kiss. He of course returns every ounce of passion I give, maybe a little more. As his hands trail up and down my back and mine stroke his smooth dark brown hair roughly he pulls away breathlessly and whispers "I still do." I smile into another lip lock. And that's when it happens I rip my mouth away from his and say it "I love you too, Eddie." he smiles bigger than I've ever seen from him and I mirror the same expression easily. He leans in again but instead of just another kiss he carefully brushes his lips across my cheek and pulls me into one of those hugs that make you want to stop time, one you just want to melt into, one that when you end it; all you want is to be back in his arms.
Eddies POV
Ok I honestly feel like a little boy on Christmas morning. This is the best gift I could ever ask for. The girl I love wrapped in my arms and her feeling the exact same way I do. And to have all of this work out this way is incredible. I realize that the other times I tried to tell her like on her birthday and at her house last night really weren't the right time; but this was and it couldn't have been more perfect.
Seconds turned into several minutes before we even pulled apart from each other. Not that we wanted to but the sun was starting to set and there was a beautiful spot I wanted to take Loren to. She rewrapped my coat over her shoulders as I took her hand and headed up the hill. We came up to a secret hiding place of mine. One I don't think anyone knows about. It's an incredible hill top with a breathtaking view of the city and valley, the sun setting is going to make this experience so much better. Loren looks surprised but not too much, it seems like maybe she's thinking or something but she's definitely not paying attention. I realize that after I say "So what do you think?" she ignores my comment and heads to the spot on the grass I normally sit, the one little pad next to the tree.
I follow her and sit down next making sure to sit on as much grass as there was to spare that Loren didn't take up. We sat in silence for a while taking in the magnificent view of the sun disappearing into the mountains across from us and the small lights around our home starting to turn on looking like fire flies in the distance. Suddenly Lorens voice speaks up when she asks "How do you know about my spot?" I look at her in disbelief that she knows about this spot let alone think it's hers. I take a glance back to the scenery in front of us and state "Lo this is my spot." She shakes her head in disapproval and says "No, it's mine. I've been coming here since I was 4 years old." Dang she has me beat, but I'll never let her know that, instead I disagree with her and say "Nope it's definitely mine, I've been coming here for so long." She laughs lightly and utters "Doesn't matter it's been mine ever since..." she hesitates then resumes on to a different comment "Never mind but seriously its mine."
Melissas POV
On auto pilot I headed to the café I parked my car and as I sat there drying my tears I looked over examining the rest of the cars, I see the newer gray SUV parked a couple spots down and its Ians, he's still here? I quickly decide to head inside. Right as I open my door to step out I see Ian walking out of Aroma, I stand still hoping he will see me as he strides out but then I see it. Chloe Carter, Satans Spawn jump on Ian, legs around his torso, arms around his neck, while she is sucking off his face. Hopefully I'm imagining this entire thing but right now it doesn't matter. I get right back into my car fresh tears streaming down my face as I pull right out of the parking lot and start driving.
For some reason I go straight to Lorens house, even though I know she won't be home its somewhere I feel safe and comfortable. And right now that's what I need because my head is spinning. I didn't think this day could get any worse but I was definitely corrected. Ian the guy I was starting to really fall for obviously lied about his feelings for me, he probably said all of the same things to Chloe. God why did this day have to end up so bad? My life isn't supposed to go like this. Yes, I never really liked being a part of my family and always felt like an outsider but it's all I know and I don't think I'll be able to change that, and Ian, how could he do this to me? Lead me on one minute then the next be playing tonsil hockey with that blonde bimbo.
As I pull into the Tate' driveway there are two cars there. One that I recognize as Nora' and the other is probably one of her friends. But it doesn't matter because I don't think I'm going in anyway. All I need is to sit here drowning in my sorrows till I get up enough courage to go back to the Sanders. I wonder if Ian ever truly liked me or if that's just the same things he says to every girl. It felt so real though. It felt so right. It felt like love. But then again what would I know about love because all the people I should love lied to me for my whole life. I still don't understand how my family could do that to me. It's like having everything you know about yourself taken from you in a matter of one phrase; I'm not a part of the Sanders family. I wonder what I would be like if I was raised by my real Mom. Would I be just like her? Would I get pregnant young and just leave my daughter with Phil. Hell no. I could never do something so idiotic so cruel to my child. Even if I was ashamed of my life before, it's just not right to throw your kid to someone who didn't want them in the first place.
If only I could've been Lisa' real daughter, if only I never met Ian or told him how I felt or showed him for that matter, If only. I turn my head to search for a napkin in the glove compartment, not finding one I also checked the middle dash I pulled out a couple of the cd's and placed them on my lap and as I expected a napkin was under them. I brought it out and whipped my now smudged eyes and runny noise. I threw the crumbled tissue behind me not caring where it ended up.
Before I placed my cd's back I took a glance at what each was, some Taylor Swift, Adele, and Justin Bieber of course, and then one I've never seen before. It was a blank case with a piece of paper instead of an album cover; I throw the other cases to the passenger seat and quickly open up the unmarked one in front of me. As it unfastens a picture falls onto my lap I pick it up and see the picture Ian and I took together so we would never forget the first time we met. I looked ridiculous my hair was soaking wet from swimming, and Ian's usually spiky hair was sticking to his face; even though we looked out of sorts the picture was definitely adorable. Tears again started to slip down my face when I pulled out the card and read "Hey love, so I just wanted to say if you only knew." I took the disk out of its case and placed it in the CD player it started and I knew right then that I was in love,
If you only knew
that I think about you in a kind of secret way,
I say kind of 'cause
Well it's obvious that I must be feeling these things.
Too bad you can't tell, but.
If you only knew
It would be a dream come true,
Standing next to you,
Yeah, I might go insane to know that you feel the same as I do.
If you only knew.
Why would he do this to me? It's just not fair. He's seriously playing with my feelings and I hate it. I don't want to feel this way towards him because obviously he doesn't feel the same way. It's so hard though he does the sweetest things and acts so loving. When I'm analyzing all of this information, all of these horrible things, I hear a knock on my window. I snap back into reality and roll down my window as I sniffle back my tears I simply say "Hi."
How could Ian do this?
Who knocked on the window, Loren? Nora? Lisa? Ian?
Will Loren end up telling Eddie how it's her spot?
Who's with Nora?
Chapter 16 yay. What did you guys think? The song was "If you only knew by Savannah Outen" oh and yes the place Ian and Melissa were is the same place Loren and Eddie are. They all have a secret spot they think no one knows about but it's all the same place haha, well let me know if you liked it. Till next time.
Xoxo
