P.O.V.: Raiden

My head was still pounding from kissing her hand. It was so sensual and soft. I could feel her heart beating out of control. My mouth became dry and I felt a throb begin in my pants. God, she was just so fucking-

What the hell am I saying?!?

Melody was like a sister to me. The throb in my lower half stopped dead at the thought of kissing my real sister like that. That was just disgusting. And Melody was even more of a sister to me than Koto was.

I felt Mellie squirming by my side and I finally let go of her hand. I heard her sigh in relief. As the light turned green, I pulled out into the intersection, turning right when all I wanted to do was go back to school and beat the ever-living shit out of that repulsive skank, Emmie Wilson.

How dare she speak about Mellie like that?

Everything she said was a complete and utter lie. Something the skank made up to make her feel superior to my best friend.

Melody was not pathetic and she sure in hell wasn't going after me in any sexual or romantic way.

And as long as I was alive, she would never kill herself.

First off, I would never let her. Second, she would never leave me.

She has spent the night at my houst several times. Often, when she thought I was asleep, she would whisper to me. She'd tell me of how she would never leave me to fight my battles alone. She'd tell me of how I gave her everything she ever needed in one hour to last a lifetime.

So, she would never leave me to live a life without her.

The sudden thought of her dead made my heart stop. I wouldn't be able to survive. Mellie was my rock; my shelter from all the things that threatened to bring me down.

Gentle hands on mine and a whispering voice brought me back to reality. "Come on, pull over, Raiden," Mellie murmured sweetly. "It's okay; just pull over." It was then that I realized I was crying, my breath quivering; my chest jerking with my sobs.

I can't lose her, I thought, I can't lose my sister.

The car came to a harsh stop and I buried my face into my hands. Warm hands rested on my shoulders in a comforting manner. "I'm not going anywhere, Raiden," Mellie breathed in my ear."I'm not hurting that bad."

My crying subsided to soft, almost inaudiable whimpers. Mellie unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed into my lap. She wrapped her skinny arms around my neck and cradled my face in her neck. My arms wrapped themselves around her torso and held her tight to me.

I was afraid that if I let her go, she wouldvanish into thin air and I'd never see her again.

I loved her.

She was my sister.

My best friend for years.

The only person who knew the real e and accepted it.
