"Pumpkin-" "don't you dare call me by that word ever again!"
*****
Melanie Miller, not your average girl. She turned herself from a fatso and a nerd, to a hot girl and a team captain.
Pumpkin, is the word she loathes!
She has grown to hate the word...
It feels so good to walk through the doors of my house and see the vibrant colors of my house, and not the dull boring colors of the hospital.
The third day went by like a blur. They made some tests, checking if I was perfectly fine to go back home and the tests proved that I was, in fact fine to go back home. They discharged me a bit late, but who's even complaining, right?
I feel a bit weak but I don't care because I'm back home. I plop down on my sofa and love the feeling of the fabric. Dylan laughs at me, seeing me like this.
"What?" I ask,
"Nothing." He says,
"Dylan, I'm hungry!"
"But you just ate food, and it wasn't even hospital food, it was like actual, proper, human food." He says,
"Yeah but I'm on my period meaning I'll have cravings." I said mindlessly and then blush realizing what I just said.
"You are?" He asks, and I nod. "Ok I'll be right back."
I sit there in the living room alone, Alex still doesn't know that I'm back home. I was watching pitch perfect 2, but then stood up once I heard the door bell ring.
I open the door and see Dylan carrying a box of chocolates, ice cream and fries. "Let me in pumpkin!" He said and I move aside, letting him enter and place all this on the coffee table of our living room.
"Wow Dylan, this is amazing! You did something that boyfriends do despite the fact that you aren't my boyfriend. Even my shitty ex boyfriend didn't do this for me." I said,
"You had a boyfriend?" He asked in amusement, I roll my eyes and nod.
"Wow!" He said,
He makes himself comfy on the sofa, sipping his drink. "Dylan you can leave now, I don't wanna be a burden anymore, you've been taking care of me enough." I say,
"No can't do pumpkin, I'll stay here today to make sure you're ok." He said,
"I can take of myself Dylan, you don't have to stay. Plus, we need to inform Em and Nathan about me being ok, and I need to bring Alex back."
"Keep asking me to leave, but I ain't leaving. And when it comes to Em and Nathan, you can give them a surprise at school tomorrow, even Alex by picking her up from school tomorrow."
I roll my eyes and sit down, eating my fries.
After finishing my fries and half my chocolates, I enter the kitchen and get a glass of water, drinking it all in one big gulp. "So pumpkin, will you show me my room?" Dylan asks as he enters the kitchen.
"Yup, follow me." I say and he replies with, "always will."
I show him the guest room upstairs, next to my room. It was a black, white and red colored room.

"I'm getting some sexy vibes from this room!" He said and smirked, "show me your room."
"Why my room?" I ask in confusion.
"Just like that."
"Alright,"
We enter my room and I say, "this is my room!"

"It's a beautiful room, just as beautiful as you." He says,
You're gonna blush in 3...2...1.
And now I'm blushing. Stupid mind!
It was almost 6:30. "Dylan, you can go to your room and get fresh, I'll just go out and stroll around in the park for some fresh air." I said,
"And leave you alone there? Nope, I'm coming." He said,
"Your choice."
"It is."
We both go downstairs and leave the house. I lock the door behind me and walk to my car with Dylan. We both enter and I start driving.
"Are we going to the park where I-" Dylan stopped mid sentence, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up."
"It's fine." I say blankly.
I park my car and we got out. I walk straight to the swing set and start swinging, while laughing like a kid. "You sure love the swings." Dylan said and I nod. He sat down on the one next to mine and asks, "competition? We'll just see who'll swing higher. The one who loses will do something the winner asks for. Deal?"
"Deal!" I said confidently, knowing that I'll win because no one can beat me in swinging higher on the swings.
"3...2...1...go!" He says and we both start swinging as high as we can.
He saw me almost beating him, so he picked up his pace and went higher.
Fuck!
I pick up my pace too, trying to swing higher but I couldn't. Now I just got really, really tired. And now I'm gonna do something that I never even imagined of.
"I give up Dylan, I give up." I said and he jumped off his swing, cheering.
"Yass! I can now give you a punishment and believe me pumpkin, I'm gonna enjoy doing this!" He says.
Uh oh! What did I get myself into?
***** So what do you think is Dylan gonna do? And what's this punishment he's talking about? Find out in the next chapter. Comment :)

Cath closed her eyes and felt tears catch on her cheeks.
"I like your glasses," he said. "I like your Simon Snow T-shirts. I like that you don't smile at everyone, because then, when you smile at me.... Cather." He kissed her mouth. "Look at me."
She did.
