Dylan's POV

I started walking towards Melanie's house again because that's where she probably went, so I'm hoping to catch her if I still can, hopefully she's not that far away.

And as for Tasha, I'm way done and finished with her. I bet she probably told Melanie stuff I didn't even say just to get rid of her because she wants me all to herself. Oh God, how stupid. 

"Hey Mel!" I shout her name to catch her attention when I see her entering her garden, "Can I uh, speak to you for a minute?" I nervously say, she just sighs and probably wants me gone, "I'm sorry for what happened today, I didn't mean any of this to happen, I'm sorry about Tasha and everything before and after that as well, I'm just so sorry" I honestly apologise, hoping she'll forgive me, although I'm still not really familiar with what I've done.

Either way, I hurt her. "Okay. Now just go" she says with a sad face that I can't bare to watch, "Wait-wait... How should I prove to you that I really am sorry?"

"You don't need to prove me anything Dylan, go to your girlfriend instead and keep talking trash about me like you have up until now, might as well carry on right? What's the point in stopping? You're the popular guy and she's the popular girl, the popular couple" she says in one breath.

Damn she must be really mad. The thing is I haven't done anything, I would never speak bad of Melanie.

"She's not my girlfriend-"

"YOU KISSED HER!" she cut me off and made her point.

"But it didn't mean anything! And after that I told her I really care for you, really really care for you", she stops to look at me with her big eyes, her lips almost curving to a smile, "as a friend" I finish my sentence and her face goes blank and that's where I realised I've done another mistake.

Shit, I'm such a jerk. I couldn't just fucking leave it at 'I really care for you' I just had to carry on because I'm an idiot. But what if she doesn't feel the same way? What if-

"Bye Dylan" I get interrupted from my thoughts by Melanie speaking up.

"I don't wanna see you...again" she finishes her words while slowly closing the door in front of my face.

"No. Melanie! Wait!" I try to stop her from closing the door. Too late now, I guess I've blown it.

Why do I have to be such an insecure little bitch?

I blow out a big breath, turning on my heel.

I knew she wanted to be my friend and I wanna be hers, but I never knew that maybe, just maybe she wants to be more.

It's hard for me to read people like her.

I know she doesn't understand that, but I've never had anyone like Melanie in my life. The closest thing I have to someone like Melanie is my mom.

She's always so supportive of me, she likes it when I genuinely smile and not smirk. She likes my dry sense of humour, even more when I actually make her laugh, she loves our inside jokes and when I tell her she looks cute today.

Fuck sake.

Maybe she does want to be more.

I wish I could go back in time just to fix that one sentence.
