Crazy Love

Chapter 14

Mel's POV

Brady had been acting differently, he had stopped making daily visits to my work and instead just waits for me to get to his house. When I got there he just took me to his room to make out with me, he pushed me to take off my clothes and more than once he had tried to take them all off.

I don't want to be that girl, I just wanted to have fun in senior year and not have to worry about taking care of a baby.

I was thinking of breaking up with him, I was sick of seeing anger flash in his eyes when I pushed his hands away, I was sick of waiting for him to take me out on a real date, and I was sick of seeing Josh and his god damn girlfriend suck each others faces!

My phone rang but I ignored it and walked to my mirror. I stared at my reflection and it stared back. Was it worth it? Being fit? Spending countless hours in the gym and eating tasteless food because it was "healthy." It made me sick to my stomach when guys would stare at me like I was a piece of meat, I miss being ignored.

I thought I was happy. Maybe I was fooling myself. Yeah it was nice to like what I saw in the mirror, but what's also nice is the taste of a Big Mac. You know what this is my life and I can do what I want.

I grabbed my car keys and stormed out to my car. I sped to the local McDonalds and ordered myself a little lunch. One cheeseburger, a large fry, and a large coke.

This tasted like heaven! I ate the whole thing in five minutes. I finally knew what I had been missing out on!

Twenty minutes later I was hugging the toilet bowl, my stomach wasn't used to all this crap. Oh great it's going to be a long day.

I was trapped in a world I had created for myself.

I changed into my sweats and a tank top and jumped into bed, I turned on my TV and checked my phone.

Hey -B

Where are you? -B

Why aren't you answering me? -B

Mel I'm serious answer me -B

over protective much?

Brady I'm fine calm down. -M

Where have you been? -B

I'm sick -M

I didn't feel like telling him that my little lunch had revisited.

Oh -B

I wasn't going to text back.

The doorbell rang and I hear my moms footsteps go to answer it. There were a few muffled words spoken then my mom closed the door and came up to my room.

"It was Josh." she said in a cautious tone.

"What? What did he say?" I asked in shock.

"He wanted to talk to you but I told him you were sick." She said, still looking suspicious.

"What?" I snapped, I didn't like the way she was looking at me.

"Nothing, it's just. I don't think he is a good influence, everyday he and his girlfriend race home like they are being followed by a gang then he carries her into his house. Sometimes he starts to take off her clothes before they get inside." She ranted on. "I don't like what he is doing, I just don't want you to be around him."

Wow. My mother was the neighborhood gossiper and knew everything about everyone.

"Mom it's fine" I reassured her "I told him to stay away from me a long time ago."

"Good." she says standing up "are you hungry?"

At the thought of eating my stomach gurgled threateningly.

"No I'm fine" I say with a smile.

She nods and gives me one last concerned look before slowly shutting the door behind her.

My phone buzzes again.

Hey do you want to do something this weekend? :) -B

I wonder what he was thinking of. A romantic dinner, a picnic, a movie day? Whatever it is I am glad that he wants to take me on an actual date.

Yes, I would love to -M

Great I will pick you up at seven!! -B

I put my phone down and daydreamed about what we could possibly be doing. Pretty soon I was sleeping my phone still in my hand.
