Collide With Me

Chapter F I F T Y T H R E E

It had been two weeks since school ended and I had learned how to drive, finally. My parents had called me and told me that they had bought me a car. I was kind of shocked and when I asked them why they said that they had bought it before but they were waiting for us to finally learn to drive. The car was a Holden Commodore. Not something too much but it was still an awesome car. I appreciated them for actually buying me one.

I drove to Marilyn and David's apartmen, they had ended up living in but I don't know if David asked her out or not. I knocked on their apartment door. For a minute or so they didn't open so I continued knocking. Were they out or something? Finally, David opened the door.

He was shirtless and his hair was messy, "David, please put a shirt on" I told him and made sure to keep my eyes away from his chest. I looked on the couch where Marilyn was, her hair also messy, except she wasn't shirtless. Oh my god, now I realize! "Were you guys.....?" I looked back and forth between them, "oh my god I interrupted something!"

"No! You didn't, we-we weren't doing anything" Marilyn stuttered.

"Wait! Are you guys finally dating?" I excitedly yelled. I looked at Marilyn and saw her looking down and blushing, "wow, you finally had the courage to ask her out?" I turned to David.

"All thanks to you, I honestly thought she would reject me" David replied.

"I know her very well, well enough to know that she has a crush on you"

"How did you know?"

"I figured it out. I'm surprised she didn't just say it, she usually just says anything that comes to her mind"

"That's why I like her" he smirked. They're so cute!

"Can we not talk about her like she isn't here?" Marilyn pointed. David and I looked at her.

"Sorry Marilyn. You guys are just way too cute, like, otp for life" I replied.

"Seriously? Why can't you just keep your mouth shut?"

I put my hands up in defense, "sorry"

A few seconds later someone knocked on the door, "who's that?" I asked. David looked at me and gave me a lopsided smile, I frowned in confusion. Who was it? He walked to the door and opened it. When I saw who it was my eyes widened and I turned to Marilyn, "why didn't you tell me he was coming?" I asked her.

"We didn't know you were coming and he was already going to come so...we couldn't say no to you and we can't say no to him either" she replied.

Ryan walked and the sat on the couch, but not the same one as mine, it was a loveseat. He was looking at me and I was uncomfortable, "I-I think I should go" I spoke as I stood up.

"Come on, Melissa" Marilyn stopped me.

"N-no I'm just...I'm just gonna leave" I started to walk towards the door but a hand stopped. I knew exactly who's hand it was, "Don't touch me" I said to him as I turned to him.

"If you stop running away from me then I'll stop" Ryan replied to me.

"I don't want to speak to you" I said through gritted teeth without looking at him.

"Please, Melissa...just o-"

"No!" I cute him off, "not today Ryan" I shook my head.

"Melissa, I know you hate me, but please just let me explain"

Before I could reply, David spoke, "I think we'll just leave you two to talk" he grabbed Marilyn's hand and dragged her to some room.

"Ryan, I don't want your stupid explanation!" I yelled at him.
