A different kind of Love<3

Chapter 16

Lucas
Yo did she just say what I think she said? Did she say she doesn't think this is going to work? What!? I thought she was okay with it all!? On no!?

As I stare blankly at her I finally spit out, "What do you mean it won't work? I thought we had fixed everything?"

"Yea Lucas but I just don't know if you are the right person for me. I really need a Godly man that's what I have always wanted and I hate to say it you just aren't him."

"What if I become him?"

"Lucas you can't do that just cause you want me, you have to do it for you."

"Well you know I have always wanted to try it out again, you know that whole church thing."

"Again? When did you go to church?"

"When I was younger I would go with my mom and dad.... Until they got divorced..." Holding back my tears.

"Oh Lucas I'm so sorry!"

"It's all right, church just kind of brings back some bad memories if you know what I mean"

"That's horrible Lucas I'm seriously so sorry! We have never really discussed your parents."

"Well to sum it up they got divorced when I was 12 and then my dad left the state the year after. Mom went though a lot of depression and denial during that time, and i just had to watch her. " I told her a tear escaping down my cheek.

"Oh my gosh!"

"She is better now, she actually has a boyfriend. He seems nice but I'm just not sure what I should thing. Mom seems happy."

"Oh Lucas I'm sorry I didn't know that you had gone through that much pain!"

"Don't worry about it beautiful, I feel better with you in my life"

Melody doesn't say a word but this huge grin spreads across her face. I can't help but smile back. Even with all the pain I just shared with her and how sad I feel her smile just brights my heart.

We walk the rest of the way home in silence. Once and a while I take a glance her way and still see her beautiful smile painted across her face. All I want right now is to hold her close and kiss her, but it's not the right time. To ease my thoughts I slowly intertwine our fingers once more praying she won't pull away. I guess the big man was on my said cause all she did was look my way and let out a cute, dainty giggle.

She makes me so happy! Her heart, her smile, her thoughts, her hair, her eyes that sparkle, just everything. We reach her front door and I wait with her until some one opens the door.

"Hello" an older man around 45s with a stern look says.

"Hello sir" I say trying to appear my best

"You are?"

"I'm Lucas, Mr. Smith" I respond assuming this is melodys father.

"Oh so you are Lucas"

"Dad! Come on let's go in side!" Melody impatiently says.

"Hold on sweety, let me talk to the young man you never stop talking about"

"Daddddd!" Melody blushes

"So young man, how are your grades?"

"Um well they are decent, kind of mixed. Few A's few B's a couple C's "

"Ever any D's or F's"

"Not often"

"Good! You may go home now"

"Thank you sir! Nice meeting you! And bye Mel" I smile at her.

"Bye Lucas" she slowly lets out as her dad closes the door.

Later that night

"Kyle bro dude man I met the father!"

"Yoooooo the father!"

"Yea he asked me how my grades were then told me to leave!"

"Bro that's insane! Was he nice?"

"I guess he seemed cool, but was like super strict."

"Well man I hear he is a pastor"

"Oh no that means he will probably hate me cause I don't go to church"

"I don't think pastors are aloud to 'Hate' people"

"Oh uh Kyle I think I might have told Mel something I didn't mean too!?"

"Yo what?"

"Uh I told her about the whole thing with my parents and their divorce and how I stopped going to church after."

"So"

"Well I don't know but I think she thought I meant I will go again...."

"Well dude it isn't that bad, I go with my dad normally."

"I know I know but I'm not sure if I can. That weekend I came with you I couldn't hold back the tears man."

"Yea you did struggle... But maybe this will be different"

"Maybe I guess that was a year ago"

"Yea man and trust me being with God is like the coolest thing!"

"Thanks bro!"

"Yea bro! Oh I got to go now sorry dude!

"Yo it's okay!"

"Bye"

*hangs up phone*

Wow! I don't know what I have got myself into but it's going to be an eventful rest of the year.
