The Bolter | Walker Scobell

Chapter 27

"Mel what's going on ?"

"I don't know Flynn it's just everything I'm just so exhausted" I caught the tear that escaped from my eye and wiped it away, he stopped the car and just looked at me

"We're here" I looked around the street not immediately getting up "do you need anything ? I can stay if you want company"

"No" I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door getting out and walking around the car

"Mel" I turned back to face the car, Flynn had gotten out and opened his arms, I just went into the hug wrapping my arms around him and closing my eyes, I felt one of his hands on my back while the other rested on the back of my head "give yourself a break red you're being too hard on yourself" I felt another tear falling at his words

We let go of the hug and I laughed a little feeling a few more tears fall at that

"This never happened"

"No of course not, I didn't forget you falling for me" he flicked my forehead making me back away a little with a smile

"You wish"

"I do"

"You're an idiot" he shrugged having that same grin on his face again

"Anything for you" I pushed him backwards a little shaking my head as I walked past him "good night red, rest up"

"Good night" I waited on the front porch until he drove away before going to open the door but my eye caught something "Cass ?"

I walked closer but stopped the second I recognised the person standing there

"What..."

"Who was that ?"

"What are you doing here ?"

"Who was that ?"

"Walker" I didn't really know what to say to him, I didn't expect him to be here at all "what are you doing here ? You can't just cross up out of nowhere and demand to know anything about me"

"Mel"

"Walker do you know how much me saying all that even meant ? I told you everything about my shitty childhood and I just never hear from you again ? Do you even realise how fucked yo that is"

"I know-"

"I shared information with you that only two people that I trusted so deeply besides you knew but you couldn't even care to write me a text ? Nothing ?"

"I know Mel"

"I never would've expected that from you Walker really, I really thought you were different than the others but turns out you're exactly like everyone, if you didn't like me you could've told me Walker but you don't get to tell me you're not going anywhere and then kiss me and not text me again do you know how crazy I've been going here and then you show up out of nowhere with no warning outside of my home ?"

"Mel"

"You don't get to do that Walker. If you don't like me you tell me that you don't like me but you don't just-" he cupped my face with his hands on each side of my face

"Mel I do like you" I stopped talking and just looked at him tears sparkling in my eyes "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before Mel and I'm really sorry that I didn't text you I just didn't know how to. No one ever told me such painful things before and especially no one that I liked as much as you and I've been kicking myself every day for not texting you but I just couldn't, I couldn't bare the thought of being someone new to cause you pain in case this didn't work out and I didn't know what to do" I just watched him as he talked, trying hard to keep the tears inside of my eyes "I am so sorry Mel I should've told you sooner, I should've texted you I should've-" I lifted my hands to the back of his neck and leaned the few inches that were separating us in and kissed him, partly to stop him from talking but I also was really craving the feeling of his lips on mine

He was taken aback by the kiss for a second but kissed me back right afterwards, slightly relaxing into the kiss

"I like you Mel, I'm sorry that I was a dick to you"

"I like you too Walker" I smiled slightly and then I felt his lips on mine again and his smiled against my lips

"Phew I thought you hated me"

"I could never, but I'm pretty sure Cole and Destiny do"

"That's fair I was a dick"

"Yeah" I watched his eyes wander down to my dress and back to my eyes

"You look gorgeous did you know that ?"

"Thank you" I grinned knowing that there was no way of hiding the blush creeping on my face

"I like this green on you, it really brings out your eyes"

"Yeah ?"

"Yeah." He nodded brushing a piece of hair behind my ear before raising his hand to my eye "you still have a black eye"

"Yeah, those don't go away that quickly" it was just a whisper but we were close enough for him to understand every word "Walker"

"I told you once already Raven, I'm not going anywhere. You're kinda stuck with me"

"If you're just saying this because-" he interrupted me with a kiss "Walker"

"I'm doing this because I like you. There's nothing wrong with you Mel, you had a shitty childhood, you have problematic parents and now you have me annoying you through all of it and you better get used to it because im not going anywhere"

I smiled up at him wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him into a hug, I felt his arms around my waist as he pulled me closer to him

Authors note:
