August's P.O.V
I woke up early the next morning and made my way to the living room only to find it empty and the blanket I let her to use was neatly folded on the couch. I walked closer and picked it up gently. "Up early? It's winter break sleep in..." I nodded my head but didn't turn around to face my dad "just used to it I guess...." He walked closer to me.
"How you feeling after the thing with Melanie?" I shrugged "better I guess... she actually dropped by... kinda" He raised a brow. "And what happened?" I hesitated for a bit, I can't exactly tell him what actually happened....
"She just came to say that Tessa won't bother any of us..." I saw him raise a brow. "Oh... that's nice?" I frowned looking up at him. "What did you think would happen? She would magically show up and speak how she loved me and didn't just-!" I stopped not wanting to reveal our true relationship, me and my dad are close but not that close.
My dad sighed "son I know you love her and so does she... listen my bosses speak a lot about Melanie... how she acts strong and reserved even with confidence but in reality inside she's a frightened girl trying to understand the world around her when so much has happened and changed so rapidly... I'm not saying it excuses her but it's a reason to why she's like this..." I tilted my head looking down not sure how to respond but I didn't have to.
"When I saw you two that one morning I saw the way she held you. Like she was afraid to let go and like she wanted to hold on for as long as possible.... love like that doesn't leave quickly or can be faked so easily...." I looked up at him.
"That's sweet.... but why is this sounding like a chessy romance movie...." He laughed loudly "that's how it is sometimes..." With those final words he left to head to work leaving me to my thoughts as I sat on the couch holding the blanket close.
I chuckled and thought back on when I started realizing things were changing. Was it on that date or the time we would just lay around the livingroom or her room watching barbie movies she had.... definitely when we would act normal without her wanting to fuck and end it there. But she won't feel the same....? Or will she? To me she's my brave girl.... but to others she's the bad girl or a stupid trouble maker and to her friends and family she's surviving through life but still broken deep inside, to afraid to let it be shown.....
Melanie's P.O.V
"That is all Ms. Moreno, we promise to have this all resolved in no time..." the officer left my room in the hospital with those final words. Yup hospital apparently I broke my nose.... and have bruised ribs but my nose! Damn I love big ass my nose! I heard my door open again and look up to the see my doctor.
"Well it's nothing to serious other then your nose and severely bruised body and you nearly fainting fr-" "in my defense I warned you before that I hate needles!" He chuckled dryly and wrote some stuff down, probablyhow im crazy...... and unstable...
"Other than that you'll be free to leave after your guardian signs you out..." He stopped writing and left the room as I got my stuff ready, I quickly pulled out my phone from my bag. Quickly dialing a number i dread to call but had to despite it being a while since speaking than ignoring.....
"Hey Ryder.... I'm at the nearest hospital to the house please and thank you~ don't argue pa has a tracker and I know you're close by~" I quickly hung up before he could reply. Fearfully of course, he's got mexican blood and scaty when angred.... I'll deal with the consequences later. As I sat waiting in the room metally preparingmyself for whatever is coming.
He showed up quickly as I was lead to the front. And he looked less then amused great!"Let's go." He turned to leave as soon as I approached himeaving me no choice but to follow after him to the car. "This is not in my contract..." He mumbled "no~ but you get payed enough for it~" he rolled his eyes and opend the car door angrily.
"How are you 17 and I'm barely 21 and we are so different yet we grew up together!" He sighed plopping into the car with me. "In my defense we were raised with different people and in different situations when we were together.... brother dearest~" he shrugged lightly... yup this angry chihuahua is my brother... well half....
"Not an excuse! We both had our mother abandoned us! And we both had to be raised by our own fathers!" He drove angrily down the road as I stayed quite. "You don't have to yell it out loud.... I'm right next to you..." I mumbled.
He sighed "your lucky the Moreno's let me visit and even let me have this job..." He rubbed my head with one hand all I did was look out the window. "Our family is so broken....." I mumbled out. "Even more since no one knows about you..." He sighed softly. For as long as we've been raised we were never asked to tell anyone we were siblings, I never knew why but maybe the shame of being single dads with the ex of your ex?
"It must stay that way until your older.... which is why Tessa is out of the picture now.... her families moving across the country and throwing her to some private school, basically covering it up..." I shrugged my shoulders "at least she's gone, like shit couldn't have happened sooner!" I quickly pointed to across the road.
"Head over there I need to collect some things..." He raised a brow at me. "Why..?" I tilted my head to the side and licked my bottom lip "I'm getting my love back..." He smiled softly "well shit it's happening people! The snow queens heart is finally melting~"
I punched his shoulder "Oh hush and take me there, bitch I'm trying to be extra with this! He deserves to feel like a queen too!" Ryder simply laughed as he drove to where I pointed. So I can be my extra ass self... for love I guess~ and brother dearest can't resist sappy love stories~
