To Hell

 Chapter 21

Melanie's P.O.V.

Here I lay on my death bed, ready to be wallowed up by whatever massive force awaits in the unknown as Addison dug through my closet, once again, in search of something for me to wear. More specifically I was getting dressed for hell. A high school party is pretty much hell. The heat is unreal, the sweat bodies are torture, you have people vomiting.

I don't think I was in for a good time.

I sat up with a groan turning to Addi.

"Are you going to be modifying more clothes?" I asked not ready for the answer. She stood up straight from shuffling.

"I can if you'd like me too." She said with a sweet tone.

"Nah, just keep doing what you're doing." I said laying back down and she went back to shuffling. We hadn't really hung out in while with the guys and all so it was nice just being in presence of each other it just being us. It was becoming more and more rare.

"So are you his girlfriend yet?" She asked walking over to the bed. I sighed. I'd already thought about that a couple times since this afternoon. Danny left saying he would meet us at the party. Addi and I were going together and Adam and Danny were going together. They had actually become pretty close friends over the course of all of this.

"No, but he doesn't seem to mind kissing me." I said sitting back up as she sat beside me.

"Is he a good kisser?" She asked getting giddy. She ate up this shit.

"Best I've ever kissed but I haven't kissed many so I don't know it's just weird, like we kiss and hold hands and he's still just Danny." I said running my hands though my hair with slight frustration. This stupid boy had me feeling so many things at once my chest wanted to explode.

"And I was a bet Addison, he told me after the date last week. God I was so angry but like he was crying he felt so bad and he had already called it off and I really like him Addi. Like, I really like him and I just feel lighter when I'm with him and I'm really confused. I'm not even mad." I said with a small chuckle at the end. It all rushed out like word vomit and she just gave me a small smile before standing up. I looked up to her excited face as she did a small dance before coming to a calm halt. She let out a small breath then scrunched up her face in a happy smile that only she could make look cute.

"I think you could be in love with Danny, friend." She said with quiet, excited voice. I almost couldn't hear her yet her words settled in my chest as she said them, each one slightly heavier than the last. She watched with a smile as my shoulders slugged down and I processed her words.
Could I really, I mean like really, be in love with Danny?

No, no way. It's too soon. We aren't even 'official'. It just couldn't be possible.

Or could it?

I rolled my eyes at her and stood up shaking my head.

"He isn't my boyfriend, he just kisses me. I don't even know if this is a serious thing happening right now." I said waving her off. She crossed her arms and gave me a hard look.

"He kisses you, and holds your hand, and makes sure you are home safe. If he isn't holding your hand, his arm is around your waist. He hangs out at your house, he plays with your little brother and gets along with your dad. He kisses you, he takes you on dates. What doesn't seem serious about this, please elaborate." She said. I glared at her as she gave me a satisfied smirk with my lack of response.

"This is very serious, my dear friend. If it makes you feel better I knew I was in love the first time Adam kissed me. Woah, never gonna forget that." She said with a small wink, followed by a blush. I couldn't help but laugh and want to barf all at the same time. I already had a full explanation of how that went.
