Chapter 20: Soft Opening

Hey guys! I'm back! Hopefully you guys are still with me even though I haven't been posting a lot! Finally reached 20!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Uh...where are we going Triston?" I asked as I stared at him wide eyed. He told me I promised someone something but I can't remember what...

We were standing in front off a place that seemed to look like it was a bar, that nights would change from green to red to yellow then blue, and I was surely mesmerized. Triston pulled me along into the interior, where a group of people standing. A man in the middle was speaking to everyone and he seemed to be familiar. When he saw us he smiled extremely brightly, and I knew then that I must've known him.

"Mel! I'm so glad you came! Almost thought you guys weren't going to show." The man said, I gave him a questioning look still not sure who he was. Triston whispered to him something then realization dawned on him.

"Oh. I'm so sorry. My name is Franco, we've met before." He gave me a friendly smile and the name somehow clicked.

"Nice to meet you again." I smiled brightly.

"Well, Franco I think I'll bring Mel here to go try some drinks, you got that non-alcoholic menu added right?" Triston asked, Franco simply nodded.

Triston led me into the club a bit deeper where a large bar table stood. A bartender stood behind wiping the clean table, as if trying to make it cleaner.

"Excuse me, this girl right here would like a virgin mojito." Triston smiled, the bartender simply nodded.

I looked at Triston, then asked. "How exactly did we meet?"

"You kind of spilled burning hot coffee on me." I blushed in embarrassment, I can't believe I did such a thing. I can't believe our first meeting was me being a klutz.

"Oh my gosh. I apologize for what I did." I looked down, mortified.

"It's okay you've already apologized before, it's been forever since that happened anyways." Triston smiled again. His smile was so easy and friendly, I was even surprised we became friends, guys who looked like him did not become friends with horrible klutz like me.

Then before I knew what was happening a memory popped in my head and hurt a lot. I gave loud scream as I fell to the ground and my eyes fluttered shut.

Triston was staring at me, a huge coffee stain covering his white sweater, he seemed to listen to what I was saying. And it seemed like I was crying but I didn't know what. I tried thinking hard why I was crying, but it hurt too much. Then I couldn't see anything and everything was black.

********************************

"Mel?" My eyes slowly crept open, seeing Triston looking into my eyes with worry laced all over his face. He smiled a bit when he watched my eyes slowly open. We were in the hospital again, since I could smell the strong scent of disinfectant.

"Wha-what happened?" I asked, my voice was so soft I thought only I could've heard, but Triston replied. 

"You passed out, so I had to bring you to the hospital. Did you feel anything? Anything at all?"

"Triston. Why was I crying when we met?" Triston's eyes seemed to have flickered to a different emotion that I couldn't have deciphered, then his eyes went back to their normal blank look.

"Mel, I think you'd have to find that out yourself...I think it would affect you way too much. Especially mentally. Emotions are very fragile Mel." His eyebrows had squeezed together and I knew then that I had to trust him. I didn't know him for long, but he seemed to be so trustworthy with those warm brown eyes that I could just melt into... 

Wait! Snap out of it Mellana! You're dating Connor and he's the love of your life! But for some reason that thought left an empty feeling in my stomach. Triston was simply looking at me, I knew he was worried, his voice was almost frantic. I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to have a guy like him as one of my friends.

"So...how long have I been in this bed?" I asked, slightly curious since he hasn't mention how long I've been here.

"About...eight hours." Triston checked his watch, he looked at me his mouth was in that lop-sided grin he tended to do when he was trying to be calm or trying to lighten a mood. Well, that's so far I've noticed about him.

"Did you stay here the whole time?" I asked, he seemed a bit tired and also slightly stressed.

"Yeah." I began playing with my fingers as I looked down, I thought I felt my heart flutter when he replied. Maybe, I just thought he was sweet.

"Why didn't you call Connor?" I looked up at him again and saw his chocolate brown eyes darken, they reminded me of those deep chocolate syrup that they would drizzle over ice cream. Mmm...ice cream.

"He was busy." 

"Ok. I see...am I allowed to leave the hospital yet?" 

"You ask a lot of questions."

"Do I?" I stared at him, my face in a shocked expression, placing a hand over my chest for extra emphasis.

"Yes you do." He smiled, this time it was full. I could see his beautiful set of pearly white teeth and gosh were they breath-taking. God is so going to punish me, lusting after another man, that's just wrong.

Triston then called on the doctor, they had to talk outside my room probably to tell him stuff so that I wouldn't be that affected by the results. It's not everyday that a person just loses their memories right? Triston came back in after awhile, only to tell me that I was allowed to go but now I had to take some medications. It was apparently supposed to lessen my chances to lose consciousness again.

Triston helped me out of the hospital, which wasn't too bad since the hospital here in Maryfield was not too big, since it was only one floor. I really hope that today would be one of the last times I would be in the hospital for an accident.

Hey! I'm back! I was supposed to write this back in December but I'm a lazy bum. Anyways, I've realized I'm too lazy to write all of Mellana's friends, so please be warned I am not writing about them anymore...even Triston's except for family members. Hope you guys are still with me, I've been wanting to add this part lately, but I completely forgot who this was supposed to be. Anyways I cut it short cause I'm stupid. Also I think I was supposed to have posted an extra part in a previous chapter about the owner of the bar, but I must not have posted it cause I'm a stupid ass.
