I'll Melt Your Icy Heart (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

HELLOOOOOOO! Thanks for all the support guys! <3 By the way, Alana's mentioned in this one. Her story is: Let Me Prove You Wrong. GO CHECK IT OUT! <3

Varick's P.O.V.

Lucee hugged me, surprising me with warmth and friendliness. I wrapped my arms around her too in return. "I'll teach you how to love again, I'll melt your icy heart." Lucee said, surprising me once again. I smiled and tightened the hug.

We stayed like that, hugging without a word.

I knew she would be the one I'd love this time.

And maybe..

Just maybe..

I wouldn't get hurt.

Lucee's P.O.V.

I closed the door behind me, completely dazed. I hadn't even noticed the weird stares my grandparents were giving me or the fact I was completely drenched from the rain.

"Lucee! Dear, you're drenched!" my grandma yelled, plopping a towel over my shoulders. "Dry yourself or go have a shower." she said kindly. I was still dazed, my grandmother's actions and words a blur to me. "NOW!" she yelled, right in my ear, catching the drift of the state I was in.

I woke up instantly, my eyes widening with surprise. "Yes, sir, yes!" I yelled, saluting and sprinting upstairs immediately. I vigorously dried my hair but then realised, why am I drying myself if I'm going to get wet again in the shower? I sighed and walked into the shower, thoughts swirling around in my mind.

The water trickled down my body and I was lost in thought. A seventeen year old boy..in a situation much worse than any person has been. Sure, there's people who are in poverty, people who are homeless, people who die. But they have been loved. They felt the warmth, the comfort and happiness that love can bring.

But Varick...

He's been crushed.

Stepped on by the ones he'd given a piece of his heart to.

I turned the shower off, dried myself and pulled my clothes on. Plopping onto my bed, I stuffed my face in my pillow and just laid there in silence. Feeling the awkwardness, I decided to go check my emails.

I found an email sent by my best friend back in Sydney.

Subject: Read this or girl, I'll come over and kick your butt.

Yo Lucee!

It's such a shame you couldn't come and see me kick some ass but that's okay because I'm sure you're kicking some butt over there without me so all is fair and square. I sent you 5 million texts, but knowing you, I'm sure you didn't even think of checking your phone so here's my only resort.

I miss you so much and guess what! I know this probably isn't something to celebrate but..I know who killed your parents. I know, BIG SHOCK! But I'm not lying. I figured that I have no evidence, no proof, nothing that I could use to file a case against him with the police so I'm doing it my way. I know this sounds crazy, you'd probably be against it. But I feel like I was born to do this, like it's my duty.

Well..maybe not. But I hope you're with me. :) By the way, I got confessed to! By Sean. I think I really like him but I rejected him because..well..I didn't want him to get hurt when I executed my plan. My plan is totally crazy and out of this world. It's totally NOT 'Alana', if you get what I mean.

I'm playing a skimp. Yes...the people I hate the most and well..I shouldn't tell you this because you'd probably come over here and kill him with your own hands, the guy who killed your parents is Lance. Yes, I know, my crush! Nothing really works out for me...

LET ME TAKE CARE OF THIS!!!!!

I'm sure you have enough stress and sadness over there without me. I'll come visit soon, I promise. Spring break is in a couple months so I'll come over there soon! Tell Gran Lu to save me some of that strawberry vanilla swirl cake!

Well..reply soon! I'll be waiting!

Love,

Alana

I gasped. Alana had found the culprit of my parents' death and she was going to get revenge on him?

I don't know..Alana, is this safe?

Re: Read this or girl, I'll come over and kick your butt.

Hey gurl!

Wow, seems like you've been through some hectic stuff. I wish I was there with you. I'm happy that you're getting revenge on that big fat jerk but don't go too crazy. Just a warning, not everything goes right.

I've been kicking on some romance myself. I met this guy called Varick and he's been through so much. I think this crush is not just a crush anymore..

So I'm gonna go and fight for this, okay?

I hope you and Sean work out. It seems like you guys match perfectly. ; ) By the way, I heard you got your artwork into the gallery! I bet you'll be scouted in no time at all!

Love,

Lucee.

I was more than worried for Alana. She was the type of girl who keeps promises. The type of girl who does exactly what she says she'll do. If she had a plan...it was pretty bad.

I sighed.

I didn't have time to worry about other people's problems.

I had fallen in love with Varick and I had no idea what to do.
