All We Need Is Love

Chapter 4

~Gracie!~

When Jessica caught me, my heart broke. I snapped back to reality... It just all happened so fast.. At first I was in the car having sex with Zoey, and the next Zoey was being beaten up by Jessica. I tried pulling her off, but it was too late.. Jessica had already yelled at me, throwing an engagement ring at me. She sped off in her car, and I was left there, alone, with Zoey.

I ran over to Zoey, crying from what happened.

"Are you ok??" I asked, worried, since she wasn't responding. I shook her, getting her to wake up.

She looked at me, then looked around. She had the most dazed confused on her brusied and broken face. Because of me, she was going to have to go to the hospital..

"What happened?" Zoey asked.

I explained everything, from Melissa watching us, to the part where Melissa beat the living shit out of her. The look on Zoey's face was so horrid, I felt terrible. I helped Zoey up, trying not to cry.

"Gracie, oh Gracie.. I'm sorry that because of me, you and your girlfriend, almost fiance broke up. I knew you were dating someone, and I knew you were happy with Melissa, I am so sorry!" Zoey exclaimed.

I looked at Zoey, speechless. I thought she would be flaming pissed that she had just gotten her ass kicked, but instead she was apologizing?

"Zoey, I need t-to go fix things with M-Melissa, so can we please just go to my h-house? I'll take you to the hospital af-afterwards, I just, I'm in-n a-a hurry to fix t-things," I said, stuttering as I was crying like a baby.

Zoey just nodded her head, getting into her car. I hurried into the passengers side, not wanting to waste time. She sped off.

------------------------------------------------

When I got to the house, I walked into the living room. I made sure Zoey was still out in the car, because I knew if she would have came into the house with me, Melissa would have killed her. I heard Melissa upstairs, slamming closets, drawers, cabnet doors in the bathroom. I walked slowly up our staircase. I stood outside the door for a minute, trying to think of what to say. After I had a speech in my head, I opened the door. On the other side was Melissa. Her hair was now in a messy bun, with bloodshot eyes from crying, and her suitcases. She was actually going to leave me. We stared at each other for what seemed like ages to me. I could see Melissa's mouth open, like she was about to say something, but no words came out. I decided to take that as my chance to let everything come out.

"Melissa, baby, please understand what you saw today was only a one time thing. I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did. I guess I was feeling stressed and we were fussing that I thought sleeping with her was going to help me. That was the only time anything has ever happened between me and her, I swear. And I'm begging you not to leave me Melissa! You are my whole damn world, and I f**ked up, and I'm sorry about that, but every relationship has quirks. I mean, my mom and dad have gotten divorced twice, but yet they're together still. Baby, I love you and I am begging you not to leave!" I rushed out the words, catching my breathe.

For once, I was speechless, and I think Melissa was too.

A few minutes passed by, when Melissa finally opened her mouth and words came out.

"Gracie, oh Gracie, you just don't understand how bad it hurt me for you to cheat on me with Zoey, when you always claimed to be just friends. Yeah, I've been stressing too, and we were fighting but I didn't go and cheat on you! I just don't see us being together right now, and I'm sorry. Maybe you should be with Zoey, maybe I should be with some other chick! We've been together for a long time, and I don't mean to be mean, but you seriously f**ked it up when you cheated.. I'm sorry Gracie, but I just can't be with you. I'm hurt and now I'm confused. I'm sorry, but I'm leaving." Melissa said, looking down at her feet.

When she finished talking, I swear, my heart sunk down to my stomach. She didn't wanna be with me, because I f**ked up, and cheated.. I sunk down to the floor, and leaned my head against the side table. Melissa grabbed all of her bags, and started walking out the bedroom door. Before she left the room, she turned around and said, "I'm sorry."

As I heard Melissa's footsteps go down the stairs, I cried. When I heard the front door open, then close, I cried harder. And when I heard her vehicle crank, then pull out of the driveway and drove off, I honestly believed my heart was out of my body, flopping around on the ground. I cried and cried and cried. I heard the door open, and footsteps coming up the stairs. I knew it was Zoey, so I tried my best so I could put myself in order. If Melissa wanted to leave me, when she knew it was a mistake, then that was her lost. I sat up on the bed, and forced a smile onto my face when Zoey walked through the door. She sat beside me and wrapped her arms around me. Her fragance was like music to my nose.. Hehe, I liked that one.

Being in Zoey's arms made me forget everything else. It made me forget all the bad stuff that happened in my life, that happened today. Maybe being away from Melissa was the right thing to do. Yeah, I was with her for a long time, but maybe it was God showing me that I was destined to be with someone else. Even thought it took a while, I think I was meant to be with Zoey.

I looked up at Zoey's face, and the swelling went down majorly, which was a good thing. Now I was able to see her gorgeous face. I leaned in to kiss her, closing my eyes. When my lips met her's it was like fireworks. Zoey kissed me back, slipping her tongue in my mouth. She wrapped her hands around my face, carresing it. When we both pulled away, we sat there speechless, smiling.
