Chapter 24 - come back

- Time skip: 1 month -

- Helbram Pov -

It's been a month since I saw her last.

I'm still not allowed to go and see Melody, because Percy knows my face and that I'm dating her. I'm just so angry and frightened that I'll never get to see her again.

But this time...I said fuck it and went anyway. Marcus should be at school and Monspeet should be at work. As for Derieri...well...I don't know where she is. Luckily I skipped school today so know one knows where I am, nor did I say where I was going.

I pulled out my phone. "Hey melody, Come outside."

I waited for a bit until there was a ding. "Helbram!? Please tell me it's really you!" She replied with paranoia.

I chuckled softly. "Of course it's me, Blondy! Why wouldn't I come to see my beautiful girlfriend?"

"..." No reply.

I sighed. 'Jeez, she really doesn't believe me, huh?' I thought to myself. A sudden thought crossed my mind...strange thought. Even though I'm young, anything could happen, I could even have a child...Maybe. But I still can't help but imagine what it would be like to have a kid.

I shivered at the thought. "Kids just aren't for me. Not yet at least." I whispered to myself as I checked my phone for the millionth time.

The front door opened slowly and I quickly put my phone away. Melody peeked around the corner; her beautiful  blonde hair swishing as she suddenly and quickly ran at me upon realising that I wasn't Percy. "H-Helbram!?" She gasped as she flung her arms around my waist and cried into my chest. "I M-MISSED YOU, DAMN IT!" She yelled through hiccups. "I'm so s-scared...please d-don't leave me a-again!" She continued to sob.

I was shocked at her reaction, but understanding. She was scared that Mael and or Percy were going to kidnap and torture her again. I hugged her back tightly, noticing that her body felt a little different from the last time that I'd held her like this.
"It's okay, Sh sh, I'm here now." I soothed and ran my hand through her hair. Her large breasts pressing into my torso kept distracting me and causing me to blush profusely.

"Marcus has been looking after me...but I needed you. You're the only person who can make me feel truly safe." She mumbled into my chest as she wiped her tears on my shirt. I smiled.

"First of all, did you cut your hair and second of all...have your boobs gotten bigger?" I asked without thinking.
She blushed and pushed me away, folding her arms over her breasts.

"Y-yeah..." She stuttered while sweating. "But that doesn't matter...and I guess I did cut my hair, but that's besides the point!" She yelled suddenly and looked away from me. Obviously hiding something.

"What's wrong?" I pried suspiciously.
She gulped.

"It's...ah...hormones." She said quietly and awkwardly.

I suddenly blushed harder and tried desperately to think of something else to bring up instead of her boobs. "Aaaaaaah...W-where did your dad g -go?" I asked quickly which caused her mood to change instantly. But at least I changed the subject. She scowled at the ground.

"He went back." She mumbled kinda pissed. "He didn't really care enough to stay." She looked at her bare feet, arms falling to her sides.

I cupped her cheeks and brought her eyes to gaze into mine; kissing her gently. "Who cares about him. You have me now." I smiled as I saw her smile.

"Yeah."

"ASSHOLE!" I screamed at the mirror as I went to smash my first into it, but stopped myself.

A month ago I'd just left my daughter again; ditched her and moved back.
But two days ago I had decided to get back on that fucking plane and stay with her. To be a good father again.
Today was the day I was flying back in.

I scoffed at myself and splashed some water onto my face, letting it drip down onto the floor. "No wonder she resents you." I whispered while glaring into my own eyes. "Asshole."

Grabbing my towel and drying my face off, I left the bathroom and got ready for my flight. But as I was packing my shit I couldn't seem to get her face out of my head. Soft silver hair that parted slightly to reveal her beautiful baby blue eyes; soft jawline and perfect figure. The love of my life.
"Elizabeth...I'm sorry." I muttered and closed my suitcase, along with my emotions and memories.

- Melody Pov -

After Helbram had dropped by to steal me away, he took me back to his place. I felt a twinge in my chest at the thought of him putting the pieces together and finding out about my pregnancy. I mean, he noticed my boobs and later on when we arrived at his place he also questioned me about my sickness.

I was completely lost in thought when he leant in and kissed me on the neck; It scared the shit out of me and caused me to jump off of his bed out of surprise. "H-Helbram!?" I hissed while blushing; my cheeks all puffed out and red.

He simply chuckled and got up. "It was a sign of affection. I just wanted to get your attention and to let you know that I love you." He smiled in the most alluring way that I instantly felt an overwhelming fondness towards the boy.

Then I remembered what I needed to tell him and I felt a sudden sickness in the pit of my stomach. I went pale and stopped smiling. The thought will never leave my mind; I know I have to tell him soon.

The tears began gathering in the corners of my eyes. "Melody? What's wrong?" He asked with concern as he walked forward to embrace me, noticing the sudden change in my behaviour and facial expressions.

I stopped him and tried to prevent the tears from spilling down my cheeks. "I...I need to t-tell you s-s-something." I whispered as my entire body shook;
I shut my eyes tight. I really didn't want him to seem me like this. "It's s-something I've b-been meaning to...to tell y-you for s-s-some time." I stumbled trough my sentence as I held back my tears.

"Go ahead...I'll always be here for you, no matter what." He spoke softly. His words making me feel even more guilt.

I took in a deep, but shaky breath.

"I'm..."
