It's Not That Easy.

Chapter 33

Melanie's POV

My vision was blurry but I could still see his face. He kept turning his head to look at me but it was impossible because he was still trying to keep his focus on the road. "What?" He questioned and let out a small laugh.

It was a laugh full of disbelief but even that, I didn't find it necessary to do. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in. "Please stop the car." My voice nearly cracked.

He didn't say anything but did exactly what I asked him to do. He found an empty street to park and since it was the middle of the night, everything was quiet and dark. Almost a little too eery. I looked at him and mentally pleaded for him not to freak out. I needed him to listen.

Justin didn't look at me though. He simply stared at the steering wheel and I could see his hands grip onto it, only to loosen it and then grip again. As if he was trying to keep calm. Right when I expected myself to start explaining, I was at a sudden loss of words. I was afraid of what he'd say. Because of that, no one said anything. We sat in the silence for what seemed like forever. Not once did he look at me but I kept my gaze at him. My nerves were killing me.

"You kissed him?" And the silence was finally broken. His voice was very emotionless but I could tell he was just trying to keep it together. Even though he wanted to let everything go and shout.

I gulped and looked down at my fiddling fingers. "He-- he was saying all of these things to me, Justin." I tried to explain. "With you and Selen--" He cut me off.

"Did you kiss him." He asked again but became more demanding, wanting a straightforward answer.

I looked at him again. "I kissed him bac--" I didn't finish when he slammed the steering wheel making me jump. "I'm sorry." I quickly let out. Fear struck me when he turned and looked at me with dark eyes.

"You're sorry." He repeated. "You're sorry-- oh god, that's fucking great." He let out a laugh and turned his body to face me. I felt myself grow small under his presence. "After everything, you decide to fucking kiss someone else and say sorry?" He yelled, inching closer to me. "My best friend, Melanie!" His voice became louder and I felt my back go against the door.

"Don't act like you didn't do fucked up things in this marriage." I managed to argue.

He just laughed at my face and sat back on his seat. "You're not going to pin this back on me." He said. "What I did is in the past but you.. you." He shook his head. "God, Melanie. You're ridiculous."

"But you don't even understand what happened, Justin." I cried. "If you weren't so quick to freak out--"

"Of course I'd get all worked up over this, Mel are you fucking kidding." He snapped. The veins on his neck had popped out and I wanted to run. "You cheated on me!"

My heart dropped. I did. And I don't know what to do to fix this. I bursted out crying, letting everything out. I messed up but what happened next took me by complete surprise. "Plea--" Before my hand reached my face, he grabbed my wrist. I gaped at him in shock and stared at him with wide eyes as he gripped onto me. "Justin." I panicked once I saw his beautiful hazel eyes that I love turn into something dark and evil. "Let go of me." I tried to keep my voice calm as I tugged away but he wouldn't budge.

"Stop those stupid tears, Melanie." He warned. "I'm tired of your bullshit and getting away with everything every time you fucking cry."

"Stop." I pleaded softly as I tried to pry his hands off of me.

"All those times when I fell for your dramatic act every time I did something you didn't like.." He trailed off and his grip tightened with hatred spilling out of his mouth. "Fuck you, you deserve so much worst." He spat.
