His Obsession (On Going)

Chapter 16

Melanie's POV

I probably don't know how long we've been sitting there.

Caleb has been softly crying into my shoulders and I really felt bad for him.

No one deserved to go through that pain not even the devil's incarnate.

Losing a loved one is like being denied of happiness. I know what I'm talking about cos I also lost my parents.

But with Caleb's situation,he might feel like he's slightly responsible for his brother's death cos he didn't return early to help his brother.

But things happen for a reason so he had no reason to think like that.

After his sobs subsided,he pulled away from me. He looked at me sadly and smiled.

"I'm so sorry for bothering you at this ungodly hour,Melanie. I don't even know what came upon me to uh call you. I just needed someone to talk to"he said unable to meet my eyes.

'It's okay. No matter how much I dislike,you didn't deserve to go through that' I said and I swear it I saw a glint of hurt in his eyes but I shrugged it off.

You know one thing I learnt today?
No matter how a person acts, whether he or she is rude,shy or whatever,we have no right whatsoever to judge them.

Maybe Caleb had been a complete ass to me but he too was going through a lot and maybe just maybe that's what made him act the way he was acting with me.

But I still didn't support the way he used and disposed off girls like they were tissue papers.

I felt Caleb's head on my lap to which got my eyes widely open.

As much as I'm trying to understand his situation,I think he's getting too comfortable with me. Plus I need to get home before morning else mum and Nick are going to be so worried.

My hand automatically went through his hair,ruffling it as if it was a natural thing to do. His hair was thick and it felt really good against my fingers.

I felt my eyelids getting heavy but I wanted to wake Caleb up so that we wouldn't get into trouble the next morning.

I felt reluctant to do so because he looked so peaceful and at rest in his sleep so I didn't want wake him up.

"I'll just sleep for ten minutes and wake him up so that we can go home" I said to myself before putting my head on his which was already on my lap.

Weird?
Definitely.....but that's my middle name so whatever!

I tried to move my body but there seemed to be a restriction.

What was happening here? I hope Nick didn't come and sleep with me again,gosh this boy!

I rubbed my eyes and fluttered it open.
I blinked twice as I took in Caleb's face.

Wait,Caleb?What is he doing in my bed?

Last night's event flooded my memories and I literally face palmed as I realized that I didn't go home last night. And I wasn't in my bed!I was on the floor with Caleb!

Nick might be so worried. Not to even talk about mum.

Wait a sec,I didn't get any nightmare yesternight which is quite weird cos this whole week I've been having em but I didn't tell Nick or mum else they'd tell me to quit school for another week.

"Caleb"I called his name softly as I tried to wiggle out of his hold but it only tightened.

"Please don't leave me" I heard him mumble under his breath.

"It's okay Caleb but we need to get going"I said gently.

I felt him move slightly as he reluctantly let go his hand that was on my waist.

"Mel-anie?"

"The one and only." I said dramatically.

"Thank you for last night"

"It's fine but we need to get going cos I bet Nick is worried sick"I said as I slowly got up and he followed my action.

"Oh sh*t,I'm so sorry....I didn't mean to get you into trouble"

"Okay okay let's go"I said as I turned
to walk away but I felt his hands on my wrist and pull me for a bone crashing hug.

I stiffened unable to hug him back..
This is awkward as f*ck!

I felt him pull away and give me a sheepish smile.

"Let's go?"he asked me almost too politely.

"Yeah"

I bet we were going to miss school today cos right now it was 9:30 am and school had already began. I bet mum and Nick already knew I wasn't in the house!

"Uh Caleb,do you stay close to my house?"I asked as I realized we were both walking in the same direction for quite a while.

"Nope"he said as he tried to catch up with me cos I was basically running.

"Go home then"I told him while panting.

"Nope I need to explain to your mum that you were with me and nothing happened."

Is he mad or something? Nick's going to blow his head off! Nick hated his guts to the core.

"No,I can take care of myself but thanks anyway"

"It's not like I'm gonna pay heed to what you're saying though"he shrugged.

I ignored him and I almost sighed in relief when our mansion came into view.... Did I forget to say we moved to a different mansion some few weeks ago?

I pressed on the door bell as I heard Nick screaming something to whoever he was talking to. I bet he was on the phone. I won't be surprised if he was talking to the police.

He hung up on whoever he was talking to on the phone as he opened the door to see me.

Now that was rude....

His eyes flared up in anger as he saw Caleb behind me.

"Melanie where did you go last night"he asked with a very stern voice,his eyes throwing daggers at Caleb.

"Uh Nick-"I was cut short when mum came to give me a tight hug.

"Oh my God,Mel you got us so worried"she said when she pulled away.

"Oh hey there my boy!"mum said while smiling at Caleb
