Kissed by a Bullet

Chapter 21 ~ I will slap you with my high heel and purposely kill you

Song of the Chapter: I love rock'n'roll by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

"Lanie." My father says happily like he is happy to see me.

I couldn't say the same for him.

"Don't call me that, my name is Melanie." I say, so coldly that he flinches at my tone.

"Umm, I'm sorry.. Melanie. I brought you something." He says lifting a gift in front of me and I look down at it. It was wrapped and it said Happy Birthday on it the wrapping paper.

I glare at him. "That is ten years over do as you can see I'm not eight anymore and you can also see we moved on, you can leave now." I say closing the door but he stops me by holding the door. I could feel my emotions starting to form in me and the tears that were nearing, I could feel my emotions starting to form in the pit of my stomach.

"Melanie I want to talk." He says opening the door once again. I glare at him, wishing he would give up this fight and just leave like he did nine years ago.

"What's there to talk about Greg? You. Left. Us. That is unforgettable. I moved on Mom finally just moved on and Luke forgot all about you when you walked out that door. You are not welcome here so leave." I seethed at him and glare.

"I see you got that glare from your mother." He points out and I glare even more, if that was even possible.

"Just leave-" My mom cut me off. "What's going- Greg." She says breathlessly like she can't believe her eyes.

Shit, She doesn't need this.

"Mom go back to bed he was just leaving." I say to her but she ignored me. The pain in my chest increases to the point where it was getting harder to breathe.

"Why the hell are you here Greg?" My mom asks him and my hand makes it's way to a fist trying to hold myself from the tears that are going to start. Luke comes into the room rubbing his face.

"What is going on- What is he doing here?" He glares and seethes just like me. Luke's hatred for our father was a lot and Luke doesn't hate anyone.

That's saying a lot.

Luke comes over to me and gets me out of the room, He know's what kind of affect our father has on me, and how much he hurt me.

"Go upstairs, I'll deal with him." He says low enough for me to here. I nod and start walking up the stairs until Luke leaves the kitchen. I walk back down and go into my bathroom and open the window.

I have to get out of here.

It was still pouring down rain as I crawl out the window and turn around and shut it. I run onto the sidewalk ignoring the pain in my leg, ignoring the pain in my heart, and ignoring the tears that were falling as fast as the rain that was pouring. I didn't even know where I was running too, but I was running to it like my life would change if I got there.

I finally turn another corner drenched in the pouring rain and the thunder booming even louder than before.

I finally turn on a driveway and run up to the door and knock on it, its a house to which I was very familiar with. I knock on it couple times and the door opens.

"Melanie?" Jace asks and then he takes in my appearance then looks at my bloodshot eyes from crying so hard. "What's wrong?"

"I..I." I start crying even harder and Jace steps out on the porch and wraps me in his arms and Let's me cry.

"Shh it's okay now, Cocky bastard will take care of you." He says and I choke up a laugh from his statement.

"Let's get you inside and out of those clothes before you get sick." He says and I nod, before I knew it Jace was picks me up bridal style and I wrap my arms around him. Laying my head on his shoulder still crying and unable to stop.
