The weekend was over in a flash. Not hanging out with anyone, alone at home; normal for me. Something an average teenager would find completely wrong. George still wasn't back. After the weekend was over, the school days were worse. The same routine day in, day out. Without Zayn it didn't even feel like school. I'd wake up, go to school, do homework until midnight then sleep. Awake again the next morning, repeating the cycle. Ashley and I were becoming closer now. It was as if we were both having a brand new start and our cruel past never existed. As the days went on, the more I lost courage. I had came to a decision that I just couldn't talk to George. Him not being at home for almost two weeks now didn't help either. Soon enough next Thursday rolled in.
I waited in the living room for the door bell to ring. I had just came home from school, still early for the newspaper delivering, but Ashley told me she had something important to do. I didn't want to go alone, so I convinced her to come right after so we can finish early enough for her to do that 'something'. After a few hesitations she finally gave in. Now all I had to do was wait. And that's exactly what I did, I waited. I waited for what felt like hours. I was able to watch an episode of The X Factor, something that made my heart fly around in my chest. The finale was happening soon. I couldn't be more proud.
It was 6pm now, and I was certain she wasn't going to come. As upset and disappointed as I was, I still had a job to do. So I quickly finished the routine. Once all the houses were done I ran back home. Rain had started and all I was wearing was a light jumper. I sprinted to my front door and quickly shut the door behind me. I took the hood off my head and shook my wet hair.
I spent the rest of the day reading. I thought about talking to George. What would I talk about to him, though? All confidence in me had been drained out since that day. Just as I turned the page of the book I heard the door knob wiggle. I quickly got up on my feet, scared. Whoever was outside was fighting the door knob for a few more seconds before the door burst open. It was most likely George. So I went ran into the kitchen still frightened.
"Jana?" Said a voice of whom definitely didn't belong to George. I waited for the voice to speak again before answering. "It's me Melly. Mellisa, you remember me right?" I stepped out of the kitchen and did come across Melly. Her curly dirty blonde hair, tangled and wet.
"Oh, it's you." I said, which might of came out harsh by accident.
"Hey, we need to talk." She said. A lot of people wanted to talk to me these past weeks.
Melly took her coat off and the two of us sat at the small dining table. I looked over her. Although the rain had ruined her hair, she still looked beautiful. I noticed she didn't wear a lot of make up and it was mostly natural beauty. Her stomach looked more noticeable now, her pregnancy still bothered me. I was confused to why she was here at this time. "Jana." She smiled, "You look wonderful." I'm pretty sure she knows that George isn't home. I felt awkward sitting in front of her, her brother had hurt me and locked me in a shed. It wouldn't have surprised me if she came out psycho too.
"Um thanks. Your really pretty too." I replied. Which was true. I still couldn't place my finger on why George was with her. But then again, George married my mom Dana, who was the most beautiful women I knew.
The two of us started to talk about random things like my school, after school activities I did and the rest of the things you would talk to an adult about. But randomly she brought up her job.
"I'm a doctor." She explained, "A mental patient doctor. My job is to work with different patients individually." Melly explained to me about her brother Jim. She said that after the first incident reported, the one with Ashley, Jim had stayed with Melly. He didn't go to jail because he couldn't control that his mind was messed. Something I knew from the start. But Melly explained it really seriously. "I'm really sorry for what he did to you. It was wrong in ever matter." She stated. She explained that ever since Ashley called the police after the shed incident, Jim could no longer stay with her and had to get even more help in the States. I understood and was relieved to the max. I didn't know a drop about what she had told me, and I felt bad for her brother, but he was still crazy.
But why was she explaining this all now?
I wondered if the reason was because she was going to take me in for treatment because I seriously felt like I was going nuts the past months. "Well, I also have another patient." She said. "You might know him...his name's George." My eyes expanded.
"But...why?" I asked. I heard lightning from outside.
"Well George has bipolar emotions. Meaning his mood swings happen too often and it's not normal." She said. That would explain so much. "At times he might be rogue at others he might be in tears. Some days he'll feel happy for no reason." As she said this it all made sense in my brain. "And, so he was one of the patients I spent the most time with. He's a really nice guy." George and nice were something not meant to be put together.
"But-"
"Just give him a chance." She said. Give George a chance. Niall and Zayn were always saying that. Even Dana used to tell me that. "I'll see you soon hun." She said getting up. She gave me quick hug before leaving. I was still processing everything threw my mind.
Moments later, they're was another knock at the door. I was confused to who it could be at this time. Thinking it was Melly again, I opened the door. In front of me instead stood Ashley. Even if she was soaking wet, I could see she was crying. Her eyes were belching red and she looked pale.
"Come in." I said quietly.
