The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Chapter 54

Mel's POV

I wake up to the sun shining in my face. I go to get out of bed when something pulls me back. I turn over to see Damon there with a smile on his face sleeping. I smile and kiss his forehead. I ninja my way out of his grip and walk out the room. What's the date? I still have school. I look at my phone that is charging in the living room and the date said '25th May 2015.' SCHOOL! Oh by the way, I have decided that I want to try and go to school like a normal person. I run back upstairs into my room and grab some black clothes. I quickly change into them but half way through, I hear a wolf whistle behind me. I turn and see Damon there, awake, looking at me. I look down embarrassed and blsh.

"Awwww. Is little Melanie embarrassed?" He teases. I quicky finish getting changed then reply with,

"Yes she is in fact. Well I gotta go." I run out the room into the living room. I sit on the couch and put my Doc Martin Black Boots. As soon as they are on, I grab my headphones, phones and motor cycle keys. I plug my headphones in my phone, putting them on then getting on my cycle and driving to school.

After a few minutes, I decide to go get my hair done. I want a change. I go off route and make my way to the nearest salon. I go inside and someone comes over to me.

"Hi. How may I help you?" The woman asks.

"Hey. I was wondering if you could dye my hair?" I asked.

"Yeah. Sure. How do you want it?"

"Could you make it curl even more, dye it black with purple tips?" I wonder.

"Yeah. It'll be an hour." I nod and go to the place where they do your hair.

-AN HOUR LATER-

"Right. It's done." I nod and get up looking at my new hairstyle. I gasp and smile. I pay and make my way out of the salon. After 10 minutes, I arrive at 'Boots'. I grab some gold, emerald green and violet contact lenses. I pay for them and decide to put in my violet lenses so I pull out my phone and put the front camera on. I put my contacts in and then drive to school. I get off my motorcycle and walk into school. I see Elena with the gang and they look at me with curiousity... They probably don't recognise me. I walk past them with my head down and head straight to History as that is my first lesson today. I walk in just as the bell rings. I sit in my seat and take out my sketch book. I start sketching a skull wiv 2 roses with the words 'death' and 'sacrifice' around it. Someone clears their throat in front of me and I see Alaric there. I look at him annoyed.
"What?" I growl.
"You need to listen. Who are you anyway?" He replies.
"I'm someone special. And besides what will you do? I'll do what I want when I want." I push.
"Don't back chat me. I'll let you off with a warning for now but listen." He walks off.
"I think I preferred it when I didn't come to school." I say. Alaric stops and turns with an angry expression.
"Principal's office! Now! Caroline go with her." Caroline nods and gets up. I get up and grab all my stuff making my way out with Caroline by my side.
"Why do you have to be such a bitch to him?" She growls.
"Shut up Caroline. You don't know me." I growl.
"You're right. I don't know you but please do tell me because you seem like a total bitch that sleeps with everyone she sees." She spits. I growl again and punch her in the face. She hits me back and I push her to the locker. We start fighting and screaming profanities at each other until Alaric breaks us apart. Stefan and Elena hold me back while Alaric, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler hold Caroline. I easily get out of their grip and attack Caroline again making everyone let go. This time Tyler, Matt, Elena and Stefan hold me back while Alaric and Bonnie with a few other class mates hold Caroline back. I try escaping their grip but it's too strong. They drag me outside the Principal's office and put me on a seat.
(Normal- others, Italics- Melanie)
"Who are you?" Stefan asks.
"I'm someone special."
"What's your name?"
"Can't tell you that."
"Where did you come from?"
"I was born and raised here."
"What are you doing here?"
"Learning."
"Why did you start a fight with Caroline?"
"She insulted me so I hit her and we started arguing. Now I need to see the Principal so goodbye." I walk into the office and sit in the chair.
"Ahhh. Melanie Gilbert. What did you do this time?" He asks.
"I wasn't concentrating in lesson and Mr. Saltzman told me off and I back chatted so he sent me here with Caroline but we started fighting." I shrug.
"Besides. How did you know it was me?" I ask.
"Because it's typical of you to be sent here at least once a day." He replies. I nod and he writes something down.
"Right. If you get sent here once more you are excluded from school and be put on manage move. Got it?"
"Yeah. Whatevs. Anyway, can I go?" I roll my eyes.
"I have phoned Damon and he is coming to get you." As soon as he has finished saying this, Damon walks in.
"Hi Principal Frankly. What has happened?" He asks.
"She got sent here from lesson for back chatting Alaric and then got in a fight with Caroline." Damon nods and replies with,
"Well. I'll make sure that she doesn't do it again. I'm very sorry for her behaviour this early." Principal Frankly nods and me along with Damon walk out of the office then out the school. I walk to my motorcycle and get on it making my way to the Boarding House with Damon in his car following. Once we are there, I walk straight on in, going to the parlour and grabbing some bourbon. I chug some down and go to take some more but Damon takes it off me.
"Damon. Give it back." I whine.
"No. You're grounded for a month. Go to bed and give me your phone." I groan giving him my phone and then smirk.
"Well then. If I'm grounded then I'm not going to kiss you at all or make out with you. I'm not even going to talk to you." I walk out the room and up to my room that was set up here. I go to my window ledge and look outside. The nature that grows happily. The sun beaming down on it without a care in the world. Is it bad that I'm envious of nature? It's so calm and peaceful. I smile and close my eyes for a second. I look into the corner of my room and see my guitar there. I pick it up and start strumming to the tune 'A Thousand Miles' and then start singing along. Half way through I start smiling and walking around the room still playing and singing. Once the song had finished, I close my eyes and breathe out. My eyes snap open when I hear clapping. I see Damon there and my smile falters. I gulp and quickly put my guitar back. He will probably think I was terrible but won't say it to my face. I have a terrible voice that could easily burst someone's eardrums. I clear my throat and look everywhere except Damon. I can't bare to see the disgust and disappoint in his eyes. I quickly go over to my window and sit on the beddy thing. I look out the window at all the nature again and smile ignoring Damon. He grounded me so I'm going to live up to what I said as well as I'm totally embarrassed because Damon heard my rubbish voice.
"Melanie? Look at me." Damon says and I shake my head.
"Why won't you look at me?" I could hear the hurt in his voice but I can't face him since he heard me. I glance at him and see him opposite me. I look back outside and stay quiet.
"Please Melanie. What did I do?" He asks. I shook my head and stayed quiet. He sighs and kisses my forehead then leaves. I go over to my bed with tears in my eyes. I mutter a spell and make sure no one can hear me or enter the room. I scream into my pillow for 15 minutes straight and my throat dries out. I walk out the room and into the kitchen. I make a glass of water and drink it. Once I'm done I go to my room. I can't face Damon ever again. I'm too embarrassed. Someone knocks on the door and goes to enter but can't.
"Melanie! Put the spell down!" I go to reply but nothing comes out.
"Melanie! Don't ignore me!" I hear Damon shout. I can't reply! I go to grab my phone but remember Damon has it. I sigh which then turns into a choking fit. Once I'm done I mutter the reverse spell and Damon falls in. He gets off the floor and dusts himself off. He looks at me and sighs.
"Why won't you answer me?" He asks. I don't make eye contact with him and next thing I know, Damon is in front of me with my head in his hands. He holds my face in front of his and I close my eyes quickly.
"Open your eyes Melanie. Please. What did I do to get you to ignore me?" I can hear the desperation in his voice as well as the worry. I shake my head. He sighs and lets my head go. I open my eyes and grab my pad of lined paper out my bag along with a pen. I write down on it and show it Damon without looking at him.
"I lost my voice." He repeats the note. I nod and he replies,
"Don't lie to me Melanie. You were fine half hour ago. I write on the pad again.
"I put a spell on the room after singing and you heard me so you couldn't hear me and I screamed into my pillow for 15 minutes straight and lost my voice." He repeats again and I nod. He growls lightly and walks out probably because he doesn't believe me. I sigh and lie down letting silent tears roll down my face. I knew he was disgusted and disappointed in me. I put the spell back up and shot up. I go over to my window and climb out onto the roof. I look around the area making sure no one can see me and I start to make my way to the middle of the roof so no one can see me. I sit there with my knees up to my chest and start crying silently. Everyone hates me. Damon is disgusted in me. He is disappointed in me. He thinks I'm a liar. He probably hates me now. I sit there for a few hours when it starts getting dark. I stand up and slowly and quietly make my way to the edge where I hear Damon shouting my name from below.
"Melanie! Melanie! Where are you?!" He shouts. I can't bear the thought of him hating me. I quickly make my way back to my window jumping inside. I lie on my bed and fell asleep with tears still falling.
