The Blue Eyed Gilbert

Chapter 68

Mel's POV
I wake up and see Little Damon next to me awake.
"Hey kiddo. Wanna go see grandma and grandpa again?" I ask. He nods and I quickly get him and myself changed. I pick him up on my hip and tell him to close his eyes. He closes them and I run vampire speed to their house obviously grabbing my phone. I knock on the door and mum answers.
"Hey mum." I say smiling.
"Melanie? What are you doing here?" She asks confused.
"We wanted to come see you." I frown.
"But I told your boyfriend to tell you to not visit for a while." She frowns.
"I came here as soon as I woke up. I didn't have time to see him. Why?" I ask, thinking of many reasons why she didn't want us to visit.
"Your father is ill. He has Stage 4 cancer and he is dying hun. I'm so sorry." I nod unfazed. Ohhh yeah did I forget to mention that when I was in England that I developed a disease where I don't react to someone's death till after 72 hours of knowing? Well now you know.
"Oh. Ok. I'll get going. Sorry for disturbing you." I say walking off. Little Damon still on my hip smiles at me.
"Mommy. Why we not see granpa? Me wanna see granpa!" He says grumpy.
"I'm sorry Damon. We can't see them today ok? Maybe another time. Ok?" He nods and huffs. My phone rings and I see Damon's name. I answer it.
(D-Damon, M-Melanie)
D-Whoever you are better bring my girlfriend and son back before I hunt you down and kill you.
M- Whoa calm down. Why are you angry?
D- Melanie? I thought you got kidnapped. Where are you?
M- I'm on my way home. I went to see mum and dad but dad is dying of cancer so she doesn't want me visiting for a bit. She told you.
D- Why didn't you tell me where you were going?! I was worried sick! What the hell?! You scared the fuck out of me!
M- Calm down ok? We will be there soon. I love you.
D- Ok. Be quick. I love you too.

He hangs up and I smile.
"Damon honey. Close your eyes." He closes his eyes and I vamp speed us home. I walk in the house and see Damon pacing back and forth. I put Little Damon on the floor and pass him my phone. He runs upstairs and I smile. I turn to Damon and see him looking at me. I look down but He lifts his hand to caress my cheek but I flinch back.
"Why are you scared of me Melanie?" He asks.
"I'm scared that you'll hurt me. You yell all the time and it scares me a lot." I say looking down. He lifts me chin up and kisses me gently. I pull back and walk upstairs to my room. I spell my room so no one can enter and pull my guitar out. I start strumming the tune to 'Jar Of Hearts' and start singing along. I smile into the song but then remember the amount of hearts that Damon has stolen. There has to be loads. There has to be some that he has still got the heart of. I sigh once I finished the song. Why do I always think when I sing? Why do I even sung? I can't sing. I burst people's eardrums. I open my door and look both ways and step out only to be trapped against someone's chest. I look up and see Damon. I groan when I see the cheeky smile on his face.
"You heard me sing didn't you?" I whine.
"Yes and it was-" i cut him off.
"It was terrible, disappointing, eardrum bursting and rubbish? I know trust me. My adoptive parents told me." I get out of his grip and walk in his room. I sit next to Little Damon and he smiles at me.
"I love you lots mommy." He says.
"I love you too lots and lots and lots. I love you to the moon and back." I say kissing his forehead. He yawns and lies down falling asleep. I lie next to him and he cuddles up to me like usual. Damon slides in next to Little Damon and smiles.
"When is his birthday?" He asks.
"The 9th of December." He looks at me wide eyed.
"That's next month!" He exclaims. I shush him and nod.
"Yes now shush. I wanna go sleep." I lie down properly and start falling.
"I will always be here for you Melanie." I smile and then fall into my slumber.
