[IMPORTANT]Hey wolfers I'm gonna start naming the chapter with whom Evers point of view it's in so in example this one is in Travis' Pov.

"Mell! Please stop running!" I yell after her. She's fast to fast... Something about her is... literally enchanting.
I can't stop thinking about her... Her smug laugh, her little smirks, sympathetic eyes... Damn those big bright blue eyes... She's short, but adorable. Looks frail, but is strong. Her voice... Is in between deep and high; I don't know how it explain it, but something about it just makes me want to hear her sing.
Mell turned a corner swiftly and I stopped running as I approach the corner. I didn't hear her footsteps anymore so I slowed my footing.
I kneeled down at the water fountain which Mell was sitting under. "Mell..." I whispered softly. She was crying. A lot.
"Travis I-" "Shhh... It's okay. Come on." I reached out a hand for her to help her out and to stand her up. She hesitated before she took it but she did. But what surprised me was the hug. She hugged me tightly crying into my shirt. I hugged her back softly; rubbing her back in circles.
"Travis I got scared! He was gong to hurt me! You know what's going to happen if the school finds out?!" Mell's muffled yells and sobs made my heart ache.
"Hey... Mell, Lexi told me about your dad... Nothing is going to happen. Not when I'm hear. I promise. I won't let him find you, hurt you or even see you ever again." I tried to calm her down. Her breathing slowed and I felt her relax a bit. She stopped crying as much.
*ring ring*
The bell rang... We missed third period.
"Mell are you going to fourth?" Mell slowly shook her head against my chest. "Your skipping now aren't you?" I asked with a smirk. Mell looked up at me with her big blue eyes and a tear stained face. She nodded her head to symbolize a yes. I laughed slightly and shook my head.
"I'm not letting you go this easy." I said. She looked at me with a tilted head in confusion as she narrowed her eyes at me. She had a mixture of confusion and anger. "Calm down I mean I'm going with you." Mell's eyes widened with slight tears in the corners of her eyes, but she smiled; agreeing with my idea.
I can tell she didn't want to talk. Lexi told me a lot when we were in class. She said that Mell doesn't normally talk when she has cried. She said that Mell has told her that when she doesn't talk after she cries then shes holding back tears. So this happy adorable girl clinging to my shirt is just a saddened girl under a happy mask.
"You sure your okay right now?" I asked her. She looked into my eyes and shook her head. She hugged me then kissed me on the cheek. I blushed madly but I think that meant sorry and thank you. "It's alright." That could have been an answer for either of those.

As me and Mell were walking behind the bleachers of the soccer field to wait out the last class she grabbed my hand and ran me to the bleachers. "Was I going to slow?" I chuckled. Mell put her hands on her hips and made an adorable mad face. Her bangs got in the way and she had to blow it out of her face multiple times before it stayed out of her vision.
"Okay wow that was so cute." I laughed at her once more. She blushed and looked away. I heard someone in front of the bleachers, practicing soccer maybe? Mell got curious and peaked around the bleachers. Mell cleared her throat and she spoke to me. "He looks nice... Can... Can I go meet him?" Mell looked anxious and playful. By the look of her tail wagging like crazy she was pretty happy and excited.
Mell walked out from where she was to be met with Laurence. "Oh hey Laurence!" I greeted. "Travis? Why are you here? You are supposed to be in class- wait who is this?" He stopped from his lecture and looked to Mell. Mell looked like a child in a candy store.
"Hi! I'm Melanie. Melanie Wolf. You must be Laurence!" Mell was really excited to meet him. It made me kinda jealous. "Yes I am Laurence and it is very nice to meet a beautiful girl like your self." Mell's face turned a shade of pink when he called her beautiful. Does she like him? No... That wouldn't make sense she doesn't know him. "I wouldn't say I'm beautiful..." Mell's eyes met his.
"I'm sorry to ask this, but are you okay? Your expression doesn't match your eyes..." He was right... Her eyes looked lost and broken but the expression was happy and excited. Mell closed her eyes and nodded once slowly, like she was expecting that at some point. "Yeah, I'm fine." She met with his eyes again as she said that, smiling what looked like a real smile.
Laurence shook his head. "The words 'I'm fine' written in cursive, when turned upside down they write out 'save me'. Now are you really fine?" It's as if Laurence could read her like a book. Mell's eyes looked sad and she looked down at her feet, twiddling with the belt of her skirt. I saw a few tears fall hitting the ground by her feet. "No. I'm not, now are you happy?" Mell looked up at him with hurt and tears running down her face.
"She was happier then she was right now before you asked Laurence! She's hurt she's broken! She doesn't need someone to ask her twice if she is okay. If she said that she was fine you don't have to believe it. But you can at least respect that she doesn't want to talk about it. She doesn't want to anyone to worry." I turned around to look at Mell after spouting of to Laurence and she ran off. "I'm sorry..." Laurence looked sorry. "It's whatever I guess but look at me. You make her cry, you hurt her, you stab her in the back. One time, one time! You get one chance Laurence and if you mess it up she won't be able to put her trust into you again."
