Chapter 8: Survived

Melanie.

Man I love her.

I invited her over to my house today and we just had finished making cookies. She had flour all over us in minutes and we ended up making only three cookies total.

She got cleaned off and sat her self on my couch. "Come here," she told me as I was getting flour of my hands. "One second," I replied.

I plopped down on the couch next to her and wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

"Oh Melanie, looked like you missed some flour," I said.

"Really!? Where?," she said wiping her face.

"Right there," I said and placed my lips on hers. Her eyes widened in surprise then closed and kissed me back. Hard.

She moved so she was on my lap. I moved her hips so she straddled me. My hand was placed firmly on her back decreasing the space between us even more and the other was playing with her fingers. Her other hand reached onto the back of my neck and brought it closer.

Her lips were perfectly moving with mine.

I asked for entrance and she accepted. Our tongues fought for dominance until she gave up. I explored her mouth with my tongue until she broke away panting.

"No other guy can make me feel the way you do," she said staring into my eyes with our foreheads touching.

I kissed the spot right under her ear, definitely leaving a love mark. Her heartbeat increased as I whispered in her ear the words that could never be any truer.

"No other girl. It's all you."

I continued to kiss her neck while she played with my hair. She pushed my head away from her neck and kissed me sweetly on the lips.

"I love you Ben," she said.

This was it. The choice. Do I really love Melanie? Yes. Do I really love Alex? Yes. What do I do now with Alex?

Let her free.

I could almost hear Alex's voice in my head.

I can't be there for you anymore. Melanie can. You love Melanie now.

"Forever Melanie. You're mine."

*#*#*#* Alex's Part *#*#*#*

It pained me to think of Melanie being the lucky girl, but I wasn't jealous. I had Brady now and Ben was happy.

What more could I ask for?

I always thought about what would've happened if I didn't die?

Brady probably wouldn't of found anyone or moved on past Sarah, Melanie would probably still be dancing at clubs alone. Ben and I, we'd be happy, but we wouldn't have changed other people's lives or our own.

I love Ben dearly, but he doesn't need me now. I'm not tied to him anymore. He set me free because he loved me.

I can't go back to the way it was, but now I don't know if I'd want to.

Brady and I decided to take a walk through town, for me to say goodbye to things I'll miss. I mean, Who can't live without Starbucks? We walked hand in hand, our arms gently swaying back and forth when I stopped. I let go of Brady's hand and walked down the sidewalk to the corner. Brady came up behind me and asked, "Are you okay?" I didn't answer because I was standing on the corner of the street.

The street.

I walked onto the street leaving Brady to watch curiously from the curb. A bright flashing headlight came from around the corner and was headed straight towards me.

It reminded me of the sorrow Ben went through, and the happiness he has finally found. I need to let him go free.

"This love was the death of me, but at least I died happily," I yelled as a message to Ben.

Move on, He's happy.

The car shot straight through me and I didn't flinch at all. Brady smiled at me as I leaped into his arms.

"So that's how you died..," he said.

"Yep. Death by car," I said, "on this very street."

"Heaven's gate Drive," he said, "how hilarious."

I giggled as I snuggled into his arms. He started to fly still holding me in his arms away from this street and into the sky.

*#*#*#* Melanie's Part *#*#*#*

"The cookies are done!," I said as the timer went off.

"Great! I'm hungry," I heard him say from the living room.

I rolled my eyes and started to place them on a tray. I couldn't help but think, if he would ever love me as much as he loved Alex. The question burned through my mind daily, but I didn't have the courage or mentality to be able to ask it.

She was his perfect girl, and I don't want to be the "replacement". I don't want to be a "comeback girl" or anything like that. I want him to love me and just me, but he'll have to move on from Alex to be able to do that.

And I don't think that will happen for awhile. I placed them all on a tray and carried them in. I set them down in the table and saw his quick hand grab one before I could even finish my thoughts.

"Oh no you didnt," I said before starting another play fight.

Was his true love for Alex or Me?

*#*#*#*#*#* Author's Part *#*#*#*#*#*

Not sounding so good in Mel's head.

Brady and Alex are adorable. :)
