Rebel Love

Chapter 17

Andy's POV
"Are you sure you're ready to call them?" I asked sitting right by Melissa.
"No, but I should... Andy, I'm just scared. When it comes to my family I'm always afraid..."
"I know hon, but you should tell them, it's good news, who knows, maybe they'll think twice about what they did to you."
"Ahaha you're so funny.." She said sarcasrically while also rolling her eyes.
"If things go wrong, just hang up alright.."
"Okay, here goes nothing.." Melissa had dialed her mom's phone number and hesitated to hit the call button.
"I can't do it Andy!" She threw her phone across the couch and started to cry.
"Melissa, do you want me to call them?" I asked rubbing her back gently.
"No! I don't want to call them at all!"
"Alright alright, you don't have to." I pulled her in for a hug to calm her down.
We sat there for a few moments until she finally calmed down. I hate seeing her like this, it makes me feel terrible because I can't do anything to help. It's not like I can make her family love her again.
"Wanna call my parents?" I asked hoping she would cheer up.
"Yeah, at least they like me."
"And I love you." I smiled, kissed her cheek, and hugged her as tightly as I could.
"I love you too." She kissed my lips and didn't move away for a few seconds.
After she broke the kiss I grabbed my phone from the kitchen counter.
I dialed my mom's number and hit the call button.

Amy- Hello?
Andy- Mom, I have exciting news!
Amy- What is it sweet heart?
Andy- You and dad are going to be grandparents!
Amy- Melissa is pregnant!?
Andy- Yes! When she gets close to having it, would you be able to come stay with us for a few weeks?
Amy- I would love that Andy. I'll tell your dad. I'm out shopping right now, so when I get home I'll tell him the news. I'm so happy for you Andy.
Andy- Thanks mom. Well I'll let you get back to shopping.
Amy- Okay I love you! And tell Melissa I love her as well.
Melissa- I love you!!!
Andy- Bye mom
Amy- Bye honey.

I hung up the phone feeling even more excited about this.
I looked over at Melissa who had tears streaming down her face again.
"Melissa, baby, what's wrong?"
"I can't say 'I love you' to my own mom..."
"Baby, call her and tell her."
"No!"
"Melissa, she deserves to know."
"No she doesn't!"
"Melissa, don't be like this. Just call her alright."
"Fine!"
She stood up and stomped her way to get her phone.
From what I could tell she dialed a number, and put it up to her ear.

Melissa- Hello?
Her mom (Jessica)- Hello?
Melissa- Mom? It's me, Melissa...
Jessica- Oh I'm so glad you called baby! I miss you so much.
Melissa- I miss you too, how's everyone?
Jessica- They miss you too, we all do, your brother got married and has two children, and your sister moved out and is now engaged.
Melissa- That's awesome, I wish I could see you guys...
Jessica- Melissa, I know our past is bad but we need to look past that. Please come visit us soon.
Melissa- I thought you guys hated me...
Jessica- I could never hate you Melissa.
Melissa- I have some news to tell you, that's why I called..
Jessica- What is it sweetie?
Melissa- Me and Andy are engaged, and I'm pregnant.
Jessica- Oh my gosh! Really!!? Oh baby I'm so proud of you! You have to come see us now!
Melissa- I'll try, Andy is going on tour soon, so maybe once he leaves I can stay there.
Jessica- That would be amazing. Well I have to go, I'm picking up your little nephew from preschool so I'll talk to you later.
Melissa- Alright, bye.
Jessica- Bye.

"So?" I asked as she hung up the phone.
"She wants me to come and see her and the family. She told me to just look past everything that had happened. I can't just do that Andy.. It still hurts. They all disowned me in some way shape or form. I can't go and see them."
"Melissa,you need to stop this, she obviously wants to see you, go stay there for a few days and if you don't like it, come back."
"I'll do it when you go on tour."
"That's fine, but promise me you'll go?"
"I promise." She got up and went to the kitchen: I followed her.
"What do you want for dinner?" She asked looking in the fridge and cupboards.
"You can make your meatloaf."
"Oh damn that sounds really good now."
"I know,so make it."
"And if I don't?"
"I'll punish you."
"Then I'm not making it."
"Well either way, if you make it or you don't, I'm still going to punish you."
"Deal."
She got out the ingredients to make it and I got out a couple of things to go with it.
"Okay it just had to bake for 50 minutes." She said turning the timer on for the oven.
"That's too damn long, but I guess it's worth it." I said following her into the living room.
We watched an episode of Dexter on Netflix and by the time it was finished, the meatloaf was almost done.
"Dinners ready!" She called to me from the kitchen.
"God damn it smells so good!" I sat down at the island in the kitchen and waited for my plate to come to me.
She put the plate in front of me and handed me a fork, salt, and pepper.
"How is it?" She asked sitting down beside me.
"Delicious!" I was scarfing it down bite after bite.
"Holy shit this is fucking good." She had a mouth full of food as she said that to me.
"You're not supposed to talk with your mouth full." I teased.
"Suck my dick!"
"Pull your pants down then!"
"You're weird dude."
"And you're not?"
"Nope." She smiled at me.
"Aha you're funny."
"I know I am."
"We finished eating and went back to the living room to watch more Dexter.
I have to say, just doing this makes me glad to have Melissa as my fiancé.
I just wish everyone would stop interfering in our relationship..
