The Calm (Of mice & men)

You're not alone

trigger warning

*3 weeks later*

Melissa's pov:

Alan and I have spent almost everyday day together, I am more than glad I went to the party that night. Of mice is going on tour in a few weeks sadly, but I defiantly was going to talk to Alan while he was gone, I really like him, and of course i'll go to the shows they have here in Cali. As I was getting ready to walk out of the door, I got a call from Satan himself.. My father. "What do you want?" I practically cried into the phone, "I- I just wanna ta-talk" He slurred into the phone, I honestly cannot stand my dad, he is an alcoholic and has been in and out of my life since the day I was born. "Your drunk, you want to tell me about how awful I am to you, when in reality, you're awful to me and always have been" I was on the verge of tears, he can't just call me and expect me to forgive him. "Melissa Smith, don't ever talk to me like that you whore, I wish you died in that car accident, you deserve to" He slurred. I hung up so fast and ran to the bathroom, before locking the door. I cried for a good 10 minutes before doing something I promised I would never do again, I meant to throw that box away but I could never bring myself to do it. I took  the cold piece of metal out of the place I kept it hidden, and slid it across my thighs, I couldn't stop by now, I felt so relieved, I've longed for that feeling for to long. I finally put it back away before standing up and cleaning up my mess. why am I such a fuck up?  I thought to myself, I went to put on jeans because well nobody knows about my little problem, not even Tristan. Alan called me, fuck I completely forgot I was going to his place.

Alan's pov:

Melissa said she was on her way about 1 hour ago, I was really starting to worryI decided to call her. "Hey Als look i'm so sorry Tristan called me and needed me to do something for her" I could sense her lying through the phone, she sounded upset, but I let it slide. "No it's okay, so uh would you still want to come over today?" I asked frantically, worried she would reject. "Of course alan, i'll be over in a few minutes". We hung up before I started to clean the house up a little. After about 30 mins I heard a soft knock on the front door, I opened it so fast Melissa must've thought I was standing there waiting for her. "Hi" she said softly, I stepped aside and let her in. She came up to me and hugged me straight away, I knew something was wrong. "Are you okay?" I put some of her hair behind her ear, she looked down and spoke "I'm fine" she looked up at me and smiled. I just nodded not wanting to argue with the only girl I had a chance with. I didn't realize I was leaning in to kiss her until her soft lips were on eachother and moving in sync. " I'm sorry melissa", 'It's okay, I've been waiting for that since I met you" she smiled, I felt so relieved "me too" I smiled shyly and kissed her again, "Would ou want to go outside sometime?" I asked. "Of course Alan." I kissed her sweetly again. I could get used to this.
