The Other Side Part 2

14.

All morning I walked back and forth trying to figure out what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.

"Melanie I know these past few days we have become closer and I'm glad-. No that's stupid. Melanie I want to get something off me chest-. Ugh no just fucking tell her!" I kept practice what to say then someone knocked on the door.

"Okay here we go." I took in a deep breath then went to grab the door knob I opened the door and Melanie had a big smile that could just bright any ones day up.

"Hey Bruno!"

"Hey beautiful come in." she gave me a hug and walked to the living room I looked around her and saw she had nothing with her.

"I thought you had something for me?"

"Oh yea, um I'll give you it when I leave just remind me." I sat next to her and she just kept smiling.

"Why are you so smiley?"

"Because my wedding is in two days!"

"I'm happy for you." I saw looking down

"Alright what's wrong?" she turned around to face me, making me nervous.

"What do you mean what's wrong?"

"Bruno I know we only known each other for a little over a week but I feel like I know you when somethings wrong."

"What? I am happy for you."

"Then why does your voice sound hurt while your face says that you're lying."

"I'm not!" she then gave me 'the look' and every time she did that to me when we were married it scared me. I looked down and I could still feel her eyes burning into my soul. "Well when you give me that look I get nervous."

"Its because you're lying."

"I'm not!"

"Bruno." Damn those eyes are so beautiful but yet so evil. "Bruno look at me." I slowly looked back up at her and her eyes became soft agin. "What's wrong, for real?"

"I-I just don't want our friendship to change when you get married." I lied but yet it was true in a way.

"Aww Bruno. You know you'll always be my friend."

"Yeah but Nick won't like that."

"Yeah but-"

"What do you even tell him when you come here?"

"Well I-"

"Yeah see. I think you should just worry about him and not me any more."

"Bruno I can't just ignore you."

"It's for the better."

"Can I show you what I brought for you first?"

"Yea." she quickly ran to her car and ran back in with this big side bag. She set it on the floor in front of her as she sat back next to me. "Okay this bag is my art bag, I carry everything I ever need in here and just drive somewhere and began painting. Well about a few months ago before you showed up at my parents I would drive around LA and then that night I would have dreams, dreams about you. But they weren't just regular dreams, it was about us."

"Us?" She took in a deep breath and opened her bag, she pulled out a paper and it was a painting of me.

"This was the first painting I did, it was when I first heard 24k magic on the radio." it was me in my outfit from the music video it looked amaizng! "Then this was a painting I did a week later when I was passing by the park where I run." It was us! We were laying on a picnic blanket, I started getting flashbacks of us when I took her there for her lunch break one day. "This one is my favorite I don't know where this is at but it was somewhere beautiful!" she handed me another painting and it was us on the beach at Bora bora from our honeymoon!
