A Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 5:Caps and Gowns and Misbehavior

Mellie hopped into her car after cheer leading practice. It was finally Friday. That meant her and Liv could sneak off somewhere without their fathers knowing. Ever since they got caught....again, they had been trying to keep their relationship a secret from their parents.

Honestly that was easier said than done considering Mellie couldnt stop calling Liv's phone, but she's been working on it.

Olivia hated having to hide though. But she knew it is for the best, at least until they could get away.

She unlocked her phone and called Olivia's number.

Olivia answered with a very soft voice,"Mellie. I can't talk right now. I'm in church. My dad is literally two seats down from me."

Mellie's face scrunched in confusion,"Church on Friday Liv?"

"Babe I'm black. Church is everyday."

Mellie chuckled into the phone. She could clearly hear the church music blaring from Liv's side of the phone.

"Alright just call me when your done sweetheart."

"I will. I love you." Liv said to her. She was defiantly smiling. Mellie could tell.

"I love you too."

The call ended and Mellie started up her car. She pulled off and headed toward her first destination.

***

Mellie pulled up to her destination. All the seniors...except Liv were here to pick up their caps and gowns for graduation.

Before getting out the car Mellie checked her phone to make sure Liv hadn't called or texted her. Once she was sure she got out the car and headed toward the building.

Inside the first people she saw was Abby and her brother Malcom. She looked at them with a shocked expression. The were sitting in the waiting area cuddled against each other. She had no idea her brother and Abby we're a thing.

She walked over to them. "Hey love birds." She teased. Malcom looked up at her. His eyes for wide as did Abby's. "So my girlfriends best friend and my brother. Wow. I didn't see that coming."

Abby was the first to speak up," It just happened. I swear we were gonna tell you and Liv-"

Mellie raised her hand making Abby stop talking, "No need to explain. It no biggie honestly." Abby let out a sigh of relief.

Mellie sat down next to Malcom thumping him I'm the back of his head, "You at least could have dropped a hint." She sassed.

Malcom rubbed his head looking at Abby with narrowed eyes,"I'm you older brother. I don't have to drop anything to you."

Mellie rolled her eyes, "Please. Your only two minutes older."

Malcom smiled triumphantly, "Two minutes older than you baby sister." He took Mellie's cheek and pinched it with his finger.

Mellie groaned and smacked his hand away, "Please no touching. I have no idea where your hands have been."

Malcom gave Mellie a smirk, "I'll give you a hint." His left eyebrow was raised. His eyes quickly looked at Abby before turning back to Mellie.

"Ew. Malcom!" Mellie whined turning away from her twin brother.

Olivia sat in church, well Bible Study listening as the teacher taught his lesson. Besides her farther shoving religion down her throat she really did enjoy church. Even though they believed that who she was was a sin.
