The Bolter | Walker Scobell

Chapter 24

I stared at the funko pop figure on my bedside table, it looked so much like Walker it was fascinating

I hadn't gotten a text since that day and it was freaking me out. Had I just imagined all of it ? My eyes wandered to the figure again and I reached out to grab it just to make sure it was real and I wasn't going insane.

Crucial evidence I didn't imagine the whole thing

I closed my eyes and turned to my back looking at the ceiling the figure still in my hand

Maybe it was too much after all, I couldn't really blame him for not wanting to text me anymore he must think I'm insane and have too many problems, it was too good to be true anyways

My head spun to my phone when I heard it ringing and I grabbed it so fast thinking that it could only be Walker

"Hello"

"God Mel you'll never believe what just happened" I felt the disappointment rising up in me hearing that it was not Walkers voice coming through the phone

"What happened ?"

"Uh... can you by any chance come here ?.... Like right now" I sat up from my bed pushing my legs to the side frowning a little

"What did you do Cole ?"

"Just come here please"

"I'm coming" I hung up and just grabbed my bag rushed downstairs and put my shoes on before leaving the house

I was wearing a white skirt and a green cropped top, it was still the outfit I wore at school since I didn't have the energy to change yet

🎶🎶

"What have you done ?" I muttered as I walked into the cafe, I went to the bag and placed my bag on the chair looking around the room "Colton"

"I was just bored here" I looked at him raising an eye brow

"Are you kidding right now ?"

"No, there are no customers and I'm alone here"

"You know, I have a life and better things to do right ?"

"You're just laying around waiting for a message from Walker" I rolled my eyes at him and crossed my arms

"That's so not true"

"Uh huh"

"Don't tell Destiny"

"I won't, but I still don't understand why you don't want to tell her"

"She'll make a big thing out of it and get mad at him and probably like find him to tell him off"

"Well if he actually stopped talking to you because you told him about your life then he's a dick and deserves to be told off"

"It's fine" I shrugged it off "so did something actually happen or was that just you being dramatic ?"

"Dude I just had this guy keep complaining to me about the prices and how it's a disgrace to humanity to make things so expensive and that it's so ridiculous and that I should lower the prices a bit as if I have any say in that"

"Some customers are honestly just the worst, the other day I had a customer come in and complain about me being too slow while I was working alone and had like at least 10 customers" I heard my phone getting a message and immediately pulled it out to look at it to see if maybe it was Walker texting m

Cole pulled the phone out of my hand and slipped it into his pocket

"Hey that's my phone"

"Yeah and that's become a problem, fuck him Mel he doesn't deserve you if he's gonna be an asshole about it"

"Cole-"

"No, stop defending him he's an asshole"

"We kissed"

"Woah" he looked at me while I bit my lip nodding slowly "I don't really give a fuck"

"Wow and I thought you were gonna be nice for once"

"Me ? Never" I rolled my eyes hitting his arm

"It might not be to you but it's a big deal for me Cole that was my first kiss"

"I'm standing on the fact that he's an asshole"

"Go serve your customer" he went to the front to see the customer, I leaned against the counter behind me raising my hands to my face

I was so stupid, how could I ever think that Walker would actually like me...?

Was this how falling for someone felt ?

I have never really seen what a healthy relationships looks like, besides Cole's parents of course, but I was for sure a hopeless romantic

No matter how little love life wanted to show me I was still looking forward to finding someone that made me feel like all the movies and books and songs described

I loved love even if I didn't get to see or experience it a lot, not romantic at least, I knew that Cole and Destiny love me, so did their parents and family's and they made sure I knew it. And I knew that Cassie loved me, I was familiar with love I just wasn't very familiar with being in love

All I want is for someone to love me besides all my flaws, for someone to be able to look over my flaws and see just Mel behind it

"You know what I've heard ?" I looked up hearing my best friends voice talking to me again "I've heard that you really want to sweep the floor here"

"No thanks, not working not getting payed" I shrugged happily placing myself down on the chair

"But it's so much" I shrugged again putting some music on as he went to the front to a customer, I got up and took the broom starting to sweep the floor, I couldn't just sit by and watch him do all that
