Chapter 10: "He's Mine"

Melony POV

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy

Grab my glasses, I'm out the door; I'm gonna hit this city played from my radio as I got ready for my "date" with Cole.

I was so excited. It had been awhile since we got to just hang out together.

I jogged downstairs to the sight of Bella and Nessie reading magazines.

"Hello, girls," I said.

"Hey, Mel," the answered simultaneously.

"Hey, Ness, do you know when the boys are coming?" I asked her.

"To be honest with you, I have absolutely no idea," she said, not looking up from her magazine.

"Oh, okay."

Almost on cue, the doorbell rang.

"Girls, please don't race to get the door again," Bella pleaded, but by the time she had finished her sentence me and Ness were both off racing.

She ended up getting to the door first again.

"Oh. Hi, Cole," she said sadly. Then she squealed when Jacob popped up from behind Cole.

I rolled my eyes, giving Cole a kiss. "Hey, Cole."

"Hey, Mel. Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go. Bye, Bella!"

"Bye!" Bella called over her shoulder.

I laughed at Cole's joke. He really was not funny, but it was hilarious to see him trying.

"You're laughing because I suck, aren't you?" he asked.

I was laughing too hard to form a sentence, so instead I settled for a nod. I wiped away a fake tear.

"Wow, Cole. You are so funny," I said sarcastically.

He glared at me playfully. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up. Just know I'll get you later for it."

I shook my head. "No you won't. You could never hurt your darling Mel-bear."

I played the puppy eyes on him. He smiled, and we began laughing.

"Hey, you want some ice cream?" he asked once we had stopped.

I kicked my feet in the water. "Yeah, sure. Let's wait until the truck gets here, though."

He nodded. Then I smelled that familiar scent except it was covered by perfume. There was also some make-up. Ashlyn.

"Hey, Cole... Melony," she said.

"Ashlyn?" Cole asked.

I pouted, folding my arms and leaning against Cole. I looked at the blond girl before me. She wasn't wearing her usual tomboyish get-up. Instead, she wore a denim mini-skirt with no leggings, a yellow tank-top, and yellow flats. Her blond hair was let down, curled slightly, and she wore just the barest hint of make-up.

I had decided to go casual today. I just wanted to have fun with Cole. I had worn capris, a t-shirt, and sandals, my hair put up into a pony-tail. I had no make-up, like usual, and no earrings. I was just plain today. Now this girl comes in all fancy. I would make her life hell.

"Hello, Ashlyn," I greeted her icily.

"What are you doing here, Ashlyn?" Cole asked, clearly bored with her. I wondered if she tried to get him back at school.

"I just came over to say hello," she said.

"Well you've said it," I said coldly. "Now bye."

She glared at me. "I have another reason. I came to invite Cole to my party. I thought about what you said about us being friends, and I thought that this would be the best way."

"Who will be there?" he asked.

"Just some of our friends from school. It won't be too big."

"When is it?"

"It's today," she said happily.

"I can't."

Her face fell. "Why?"

"I'm hanging out with Melony today."

"It's supposed to be just us," I added.

"Can she come?" he asked.

She pouted. "I guess."

"No, Cole, I don't want to. I won't know anyone there, and it'll be so awkward." I knew if I played the self-less girlfriend thing, he wouldn't be able to bear going.

"See," Ashlyn said. "She doesn't want to go. You can just come. It'll be fun."

"No, I'm staying with Melony," he said determinedly. "It's our day. Sorry, Ash."

Just then, the ice cream truck came by. Cole and I stood up.

"I'll go get our ice cream," he suggested. "Want anything in particular?"

"No thanks," I said.

He nodded and left. That was when Ashlyn and I got into each others faces. Literally.

"Why don't you just go home, princess?" she sneered.

I laughed bitterly. "At least I don't look like a prostitute."

"What? Daddy take away your credit card, or are you trying to fit in with us common folk?"

"Why don't you go back to your barn, farm girl?" I countered.

"Oh! I know! Your mom was caught cheating on your dad, so now you have to cut back."

That struck a nerve. I hated that I could still cry. I tried so hard to not do it. Until Cole came back.

"Hey, Melony," he said cheerfully.

Then I burst out crying.

"Melony?" he asked. "Are you okay? What did I say? I'm sorry, Mel."

He dropped the ice cream, and came to comfort me. I cried into his chest.

"S-she... said something about my mom." Then I got mad at her for talking about my mom. I turned back to Ashlyn, the tears now angry in my eyes.

"For your information, my mom died giving birth to me!" I yelled at her. "So shut up! Or else I swear I will rip your heart out!"

She looked taken back. "I-I didn't know."

"Of course you didn't! You know nothing about me! You have no right to say anything about my relationship with Cole, so shut up!"

"Ashlyn, I think you should go," Cole suggested hardly. "We can't be friends if you're going to make Melony cry. Goodbye."

Ashlyn pouted, but left.

"Cole, I have to go," I said.

"No, Melony, please don't. We can go to an ice cream place and get some ice cream there. It's okay. Shhh. Don't cry, Mel-bear, don't cry." He pulled me to his chest. "Please don't cry. I can't bear to see you this way. Please."

I stopped crying. We did go to an ice cream place, and all was well. For some reason, I felt as if something was going to happen. I couldn't shake the feeling. It was so strong.

As I fell asleep that night, my IPOD in my ears, I felt a shadow looming over me. I could feel it moving closer and closer, it's dark spirit being felt all around me.
