A different kind of Love<3

Chapter 18

Lucas:
Ok so it been a while since Mel and I have talked and I'm pretty sure she is mad at me. I promised her I would go to church but you know it's just not how I role. I'm sure I can get out of it and keep the girl, I've done it before I can do it again! Right?

"Hey Mel" I say as I see her walking through the hall, she glances my way then she keeps moving. I begin to wonder if Mel is going to be like other girls and fall at my feet. For some reason I can't seem to keep her under my wing. Generally any girl would kill to have a guy like me say hey to them. I've literally heard girls fight and bet on who I will invest my time in more. Why isn't Mel like them? Does it have to do with the whole church thing? I mean she can't take it that seriously it's just church. Mel must have something else wrong she couldn't be that upset just cause I could care less about church.

I go on throughout my day, curious as to what is stopping Mel from falling completely for me. It is very obvious she likes me but why won't she just let go and let me catch her? I want her so much and I feel like she needs to sacrifice this church thing for our relationship. She is really making this hard on me.

*texting melody after school*

3:42- Aye Mel! What wuz up @ school 2day

3:49- why?????

3:49- Lucas u made me a promise and if u can't keep it we can't be

3:55- I don't get it I though u liked me

3:55- oh my gosh yes I do! I do very much but my relationship with God is more important then one with u

3:59- oh...

4:07- oh that's all you have to say! I can't believe I ever liked u

4:07- do u not like me no more

4:08- I want to like u so much but I can't

4:10- meet me at the lake in 10

4:15- why

4:16- this convo should be in person k?

4:17- okay be there soon

I set down my phone, get ready, and head out the door. The lake is only five minutes from my house so I take my time walking. I think everything through what I'm going to say and how I will say it. I'm just going to tell her that if this church thing is such a big deal that she can't be with me then so be it. I'm not a puppy dog following her commands.

I get to the lake and I find a bench, shaded but still with a beautiful view. This will be a perfect spot to break the news that I will not be attending church anytime soon. As time goes on I pep talk my self and rehearse word for word what I'm going to say. I feel like it's been hours that I have just sat here watching the ripples in the water, but looking at the clock it's only been a few minutes. I'm calm and relaxed ready to tell Mel everything as I hear her footsteps come from behind.

"Hey" I hear her say as I turn around to see her beautiful fair skin surrounded by her radiant blue dress and the spring leaves. I instantly forget every word I was prepared to say. I am stunned by her beauty and her ravishing blue eyes meeting mine.

"Hello" I manage to let out after minutes of just our eyes meeting.

"You said this needs to be done in person" her voice hesitant, and slow.

"Oh yea um yea" still stunned

"Well I get it, I don't know if I can hear you say it," her eyes are starting to water up now.

Seeing this I snap back and tell her "no don't cry I can't do this if you cry"

"I'm sorry" she sniffles, "I should t of even come"

My emotions flooding out I say, "no don't leave, I need you!"

"What do you mean Lucas " she wipes away her tears

"Come here beautiful"

"Lucas I can't, you already broke my heart once i can't have that happen again"

"Melody please just give me a chance" I can't control my words

"Lucas I don't know"

"Come here" I say jumping up and running towards her

"Lucas we can't be together!"

I'm holding both her hands now, "why Mel why"

"God that's why! He is my life! And I can't just not share that part of me with you! It's who I am!"

I stand there for a moment watching the tears bundle up then escape down her cheek. This moment right here right now is perfect yet frightful. I want melody so bad I could do anything for her, but not church. She starts to look away, finding some how she can escape what's happening. Honestly I don't want to leave. Her presence fills my heart with joy more then any other person I have ever met. She is perfect, I look at her and I see no fault.  My next words are either a make it or break it deal.

"Melody I don't....
