BACK UP GIRL

not a home wrecker

MELANIES POV

We was sitting on his bed in silence. Awkward silence. I looked around his room. Still the same just a bit tidier than I remember.

I look back at Tom, he's already looking at me. I look down at his hands just to avoid eye contact. His hands were clean, meaning he had washed all the blood off. It looked painful to clean with all the wounds.

Then I realised he probably didn't try to help his wounds just wash them. I sigh.

"What's up?" He asks. "Have you still got a first aid kit?" I ask. "Yeah why? Are you hurt?" He asks concerned. "No. It's for you" I laugh slightly. "Why for me?" He asks. I grab his hand and waft it in his face.

"Ohh" he says with realisation. "Yeah" I say.

"It's in the bathroom" he says. I keep hold of his hand and lead him into his bathroom. He hops onto the counter like a little kid. I bend down and open the drawer underneath.

I find the first aid kit and take it out. I turn on the hot water. "Just letting you know this might hurt" I say knowing it's not a might hurt it will hurt, he nods.

I take his hand and rinse it under the clean water after a while I take it out and stop the take. I grab a soft, dry cloth and pat around the would.

I grab bandages and wrap it around toms knuckles to protect his wound. I pat his hand while look at him. "See, much better" I say smiling at him. "Thanks" he says. "Anytime" I say.

I put all the stuff away.

"Hey I've got a question" I say looking down. "What?" He asks "how come you fought Leo?" I ask looking back up at him.

TOMS POV

She looks back up at me.

"No one hurts my Melanie" I say. Fuck. Why did I just say that?

I clear my throat. I'm so not coming back from this own. "I mean it's not right. You didn't deserve that" I say. Melanie just smiles at me. I could see her cheeks become a little rosy.

"Come on let's go" she says taking my hand again and leading me back to my room. We sit back on my bed.

MELANIES POV

'My Melanie' I'm screaming right now. Not in real life but entirely. Then not him trying to cover it up.

He's so cute.

"Wanna watch something?" Tom asks. "Sure" I reply with a smile. "What do you wanna watch?" He asks me. "I don't mind. You pick" I say.

As Tom is picking something for us to watch I try to get comfortable on his bed which isn't hard. I was already comfy but I just wanted to be more comfy.

I look at the tv and notice he's picked something. "Cartoons?" I laugh. Tom looks at me offended. "You don't like my cartoons?" He asks pouting playfully while getting close to my face.

"I love your cartoons!" I say laughing as I shove him playfully. "I just think we should watch a different cartoon" I shrug.

I go to grab the remote bit Tom was faster and grabbed it before me. I squinted my eyes at him. I tried to grab it from his hand but he lifted it up into the air.

I tired to grab it again but this time he kept moving it. I smirked before tickling him, making Tom drop it. I quickly grabbed the remote.

"That's cheating!" Tom says. "No it's not you're just a saw loser" I say. "If you say so" he says cheekily, like he was plotting something evil.

He then quickly starts tickling me in all my weak spots. I was laughing like a mad woman. "Stop" I say laughing. Tom pins me down, getting on top of me, still tickling me.

I get one of my hands free and grab the nearest pillow. I wacked Tom over the head with it making him stop.

Now it's my turn to tickle him.

I start to do so.

I get on top of him. He moves around trying to avoid my tickles but he couldn't. He then grabs my hands and moves them to the side bringing me closer to his face.

We stayed like that in silence.

Slowly I bring my face closer and closer to his. Had our faces are inches apart I stop.

I close my eyes ready to kiss him but before I press my lips against his I remember he's with Julie.

I so want to kiss him but I couldn't.

I'm no home wrecker.

I don't want to be that girl who knows that the man had a girlfriend and still try with him. Shit I've basically been flirting with him! I'm such a horrible person. I know I don't like Julie but I'm not a home wrecker.

I frantically get off Tom and off the bed. He looks at me confused. "Why'd you stop?" He asks. "You're with Julie." I say disappointed.

"Shit yeah" he says. He sighs big.

Is that all he has to say to that?

"I'm gonna go home" I say. "What? Why?" He says winy.

I don't answer him and just walk out of his room and run down the stairs. I head to the door. "Going already?" Simone questions me. "Yeah I have to go home" I say smiling at Simone.

"Oh okay" she says. "Bye Melanie" she says. "Bye" I say smiling at her.

I hear someone come down the stairs. It's Tom.

"Melanie before you go can I talk to you real quick" he says. "Sure" I sigh.

He drags me into the kitchen where no one was. "What did you wanna talk about?" I ask.

"I.." he stops and thinks. I stand there waiting. "I.. I think I want to be with you" he says hesitantly. "You think?" I ask frowning my brows.

"Bye Tom" I say and go to walk away. He grabs my wrists and pulls me back. "No. I want to be with you" he says sternly. "You have a girlfriend" I say.

"I'll break up with her" he says quickly. I know I might sound bitchy but when? When will he? I don't want to say that but I'm tired of waiting.

"Well when you do you can hit me up, okay?" I say smiling at him. I then walk away and out the house.

I know. I know. That was kinda rude of me. I'm just kinda growing impatient. I've been wanting him since the first time I laid my eyes on him. If he really wants me he'll have to make it up to me, fast.

Actually I take the last part back. Cause I know for a fact when he breaks up with Julie, if he does, I'd go straight to him.
