LOVING THE BEAST THEY CALL RYBACK

CHAPTER 19

THREE YEARS LATER  CHRISTMAS TIME

JOEYS POV

WELL ITS BEEN THREE YEARS NOW AND MELISSA AND RYAN ARE STILL A COUPLE AND DOING PRETTY WELL TOGETHER .  MEL IS SLOWLY GETTING BETTER AND STARTING TO TALK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO HER  WHEN  WE ALL WERE ON THE ROAD YEARS AGO . 

MEL AND JON MADE PEACE AGAIN WITH EACH OTHER , AND JON EVEN GAVE RYAN THE BENIFIT OF THE DOUBT THAT HE REALLY DID LOVE MELISSA LIKE HE SAID HE DOES .  WE ALL HAVE SEEN SUCH A MAJOR CHANGE IN MELISSA SINCE THAT DAY THREE YEARS AGO WHEN SHE PUT US ALL IN OUR PLACES TELLING US TO BACK OFF AND LET HER MAKE HER OWN CHOICES FOR ONCE . WITH NOT ONLY TITOS AND RYANS HELP WE ALL HELPED MEL GET OVER THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO HER AND OPEN UP MORE .  BUT IT MOSTLY TITO AND RYAN WHO DID MOST OF THE WORK I HAVE TO ADMIT .

NOW HERE IT IS THREE YEARS LATER AND MELS DOING ALOT BETTER AND IS MUCH HAPPIER SINCE SHE  GOES TO A SUPPORT GROUP , AND SHE ALSO IS A NATIONAL SPEAKER NOW FOR R.A.I.N.N. AND SHE GETS TO TELL HER STORY . SHES BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO ALOT OF PEOPLE SO FAR AND SHES GLAD SHE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES LIKE SHE HAS .

RYAN HAD GOTTEN ALL OF US GUYS TOGETHER AND MICKIE AND TOLD US HE WAS GOING TO ASK MELISSA TO FINALLY MARRY HIM . NOW THAT SHE WAS DOING SO WELL WITH THINGS AND EVERYTHING ...... HE EVEN ASKED SOME OF US TO GO WITH HIM TO PICK OUT A RING FOR MEL SINCE HE WAS CLUELESS ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS .....  YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT AFTER DATING MELISSA FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS HE WOULD KNOW HER LIKES BY NOW , BUT I GUESS HE JUST WANTS US ALL TO BE APART OF THIS ...... WHICH WAS NICE OF HIM OR AS MEL WOULD SAY ITS SWEET AND CUTE .

TITOS POV

WELL ITS BEEN THREE YEARS NOW SINCE MEL STARTED HER RECOVERY IN FULL . SHES MADE A HELL OF A RECOVERY SO FAR AND IS REALLY HAPPY WITH RYAN .  I HAD TO SMILE AT THAT KNOWING THAT  I HAD A SMALL ROLE TO PLAY IN GETTING THOSE TWO BACK TOGETHER AGAIN .  RYAN IS THE RIGHT GUY FOR MELISSA IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE . SHE LOVES HIM AND HE LOVES HER THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND AFTER ALL THIS TIME . THOSE TWO HAVE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP BUT THEY HAVE STUCK IT OUT TOGETHER WITH EVERYONE ELSES HELP TOO .

SINCE CHRISTMAS IS A FEW DAYS AWAY RYAN GOT ALL OF US  " MELISSA'S BOYS " AS HE LIKED TO CALL EVERYONE NOW . TOGETHER TO TALK TO US ABOUT SOMETHING BIG ....... HE WANTED TO ASK MELISSA TO FINALLY MARRY HIM AFTER ALL THIS TIME . YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT BY NOW THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ENGAGED , BUT MEL TOLD RYAN SHE WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL SHE HAD GOT BETTER AND FIXED HERSELF TO WHERE SHE WAS HAPPY AGAIN .  AND SHE HAS DONE THAT AND WAS DOING REALLY WELL WITH HERSELF AN TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING MORE . SHE EVEN  TALKS ABOUT THINGS MORE OPENLY NOW WHEN SHES UPSET . SHE DOESNT LET IT BOTTLE UP ANYMORE LIKE SHE USE TO DO .

IM GLAD RYAN CONSIDERED MELISSAS FEELINGS BEFORE HE DECIDED TO JUST PROPOSE TO HER YEARS AGO LIKE HE WANTED TO DO .  BECAUSE OF ALL THEIR HARDSHIPS THEY HAVE BOTH WENT THROUGH IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP THEY HAVE BECOME A STRONGER COUPLE AND EVEN BECAME BEST FRIENDS OUT OF IT AS WELL . SO WHEN RYAN HAD ASKED ME AND JOEY TO GO WITH HIM TO PICK OUT A RING FOR MELISSA I KNEW THE EXACT ONE SHE WOULD WANT AND LOVE . ESPECIALLY SINCE RYAN WAS THE ONE GIVING IT TO HER ..... HE EVEN HAD EVERYTHING PLANNED OUT FOR THE PROPOSAL . I SWEAR RYAN HAD IT BAD FOR MELISSA AND I WAS HAPPY FOR THEM BOTH I REALLY WAS .

AS FOR WHATEVER BECAME OF JON AND NICK ..... WELL JON STARTED DATING MELISSA'S COUSIN CLARISSA ....... AND WELL NICK STARTED SEEING MELISSA'S OTHER FRIEND LINNY . THEY MADE CUTE COUPLES AND HAVE BEEN TOGETHER ALMOST AS LONG AS MELISSA AND RYAN HAVE BEEN TOGETHER NOW . THEY WERE ALL HAPPY NOW WITH THEIR OWN LIVES AND DESTINIES AHEAD OF THEM .
