Poison (Jc Caylen fanfiction)

Chapter 31

(Melody's Pov)

I'm confused. Like, full on, like what the fuck is wrong with my puny brain!? I'm so stupid. I seriously need to stand my ground and figure out what the hell I want in life... I can't just go back and forth between Kian and Jc, that's fucked.

I stop at the stop sign and draw in a deep breath before turning the corner onto my road. Parking outside the garage, I decide to stay seated. Right now would definitely be a good time to tie up some loose ends between me and my sister. I know, I usually never speak of anybody but Kian or Jc, but I'm dying for some real advice, that quite possibly will help me get my head out of my ass. I punch in my sisters number and put it on speaker, turning off my car as I wait. My fingers drum nervously against the steering wheel as the dial tones continue. Butterflies fill my stomach as they stop. "Oh my god, Tiff!?" I say excitedly, only to have an automated voice ring through instead. "Hi, you have reached the voice message box of 817-25-" I quickly hang up the phone in disappoint and climb out of the car.

"Way to let me down again, Tiffany." I mutter, turning the key in the knob and twisting open the door. I tiptoe quietly through the living room, trying not to wake up Kian. No, he's not asleep on the couch, he's upstairs... but that's beside the point. He isn't a very deep sleeper. I hang up my keys, slip off my shoes and make my way upstairs. Climbing underneath the covers beside Kian, I hear him mumble something. "Babe, stop squirming." He says, grabbing my waist and pulling me into him. My eyes widen and I try to hold back my nervous laughter. Succeeding, I turn and face towards Kian, pecking him on the nose and finally going to sleep.

I hear my phone ringing from the other room, so I rush and answer it. "Hello?"

"What did you want the other day, Melody?" A feminine voice speaks harshly.

"Tiffany?"

"Yes."

"I didn't know who else to call.... I just need some advice."

"From someone who's like 15 years older than you?" She asks with disbelief. I roll my eyes and continue.

"Yes, don't be a bitch."

"What is it?"

"Well, I gotta go in the other room." I say, walking out on the back patio. I hear an exaggerated sigh from the other end.

(Kian's Pov)

Melody went outside to talk to someone... I know I probably shouldn't be a sneak, but I'm extremely curious. I get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen, pretending to make some food to cover up my true intentions. I listen carefully while rummaging through the cabinets.

"A few nights ago, I went to go help a friend who was really upset about something."

"Be patient Tiff!" She shouts.

Who did she go help? I don't even remember her leaving...

"Look, I need your help! You're the only one I can talk to about this.. I just, I feel helpless."

"I'm torn... what do you mean 'how so?' do you not understand what I'm approaching?"

"Oh my lord, must I clarify it? I'm in a steady relationship with the one I love... but there's still feelings for someone else. It's like, no matter what I do, my heart isn't happy."

"But get this, the person I went to help the other day, is the person I still feel for..."

"What do you mean it's not bad!? I kissed him! Twice...." She says, her voice getting softer at the last part.

"Whatever. You're not helping. I'll fix this myself." She mutters and hangs up the phone.

What!? Who did she-Jc...

(Melody's Pov)

I walk into the house and slam the door behind me. I look in the kitchen and see Kian sitting on the counter, just staring at me. "What's up?" I ask, walking closer to him. "Oh nothing, just I'm a lil angry with a certain human.." He says through gritted teeth. I furrow my eyebrows and sit on the counter beside him. "What's with the alien like talk?" I giggle, placing my hand on his thigh. He looks down at my hand with disgust and takes it off of his leg. "What's wrong?" I ask a little worried. He chuckles softly and stands up in front of me. "What's wrong? Are you fucking kidding me?" He chuckles. I furrow my eyebrows again and scan his body language.

"Ya know what, I'll tell you what's wrong." He says, rubbing the back of his neck. He looks up and into my eyes smiling. "The fact that I can't trust you anymore." He says coldly. "Or him." He says quietly. "Kian, what are you talking about?" I giggle nervously. "I'm gonna kill him." He doesn't answer my question. "KIAN!?" I yell, causing him to jolt and smirk. "You've been sneaking around with Jc, haven't you, 'babe'" He says putting air quotes around babe. I stand up and look at him with disbelief, "Whoa, whoa, whoa... what the fuck!?" I say.

"Yes, I did cheat. But you know what, it was a mistake... I love you Kian."

"Shut the fuck up."

"Why are you acting like this?" I say softly.

"Why not!? Might as well just get it out of my system before I go and disembowel Jc!!" He shouts, throwing his arms up above his head.

"Kian..." I say in a soothing voice, my attempt to calm him.

"I loved you, Mel..." He whimpers, sitting on the counter across from me.

"If you love me, you'll understand that kissing Jc was a mistake.."

"Here's the thing, I don't think I love you anymore." He mumbles, looking at the floor.

I walk up to him and move his head up so I can see his eyes. Tears are brimming his eyes, as well as mine. He tries to look away, and succeeds. "Look at me." I whisper. He shakes his head. "Look at me." I say a little louder, letting a tear escape my eye. He looks at me again. "You weren't supposed to find out like this..." I say, letting another tear escape my duct. "How was I supposed to find out then? Never? My god Melody, I can't take this shit right now." He mumbles.

He looks down and a tear falls down his cheek. I wipe it away gently and grab his hand. "This isn't gonna work out, Mel." He whispers. I loosen my grip of his hand and back away a little. "I know." I whimper, another tear spilling. He looks at me with little remorse and shakes his head slowly. "As soon as I find a place to go, I'll be out of your hair." He comments, swallowing hard. I draw in a shaky breath and nod. "So... this is it, huh?" I whisper, gazing into his mesmerizing eyes. He nods slowly and looks down again. "Yea.."

I swallow hard and gather the words in the back of my throat. "One last kiss?" I ask hopeful. He doesn't say a word, he just nods and walks over to me. He grabs my right hand and places his free hand on my cheek. We both lean in until our lips graze one and other. After a good three seconds he pulls his lips off mine and walks away.
