Save me from my Demons | P.I.E Fanfiction

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN - Bitter sweet

| Melissa's POV |

Ghost seemed very agitated since we retrieved him. Perhaps it was my fault. I don't understand why he was so agitated with me around. I wasn't going to be staying very long anyway. Not to mention, he did kill my friend so it's his fault I am here in the first place.

I was sat awkwardly on the sofa as I heard the two arguing in the kitchen. It was clear the argument involved me. But I didn't dare interfere. It may have involved me but I would rather keep out of their personal lives as much as I could.

There was a brief moment of silence before Toast came out of the kitchen,  handing me a plate of food. I looked at him with a confused expression. "Why are you giving it to me here?" I asked, tilting my head, holding out the plate as if it would give me a disease or something.

He let out a deep frustrated sigh before speaking, sitting down beside me. "I have my days where I just don't have manners. Ghost usually is the cause of this"

I didn't want to press on further, he seemed angry enough as it is. I placed the plate on my lap and began to eat. It was a tense atmosphere as the two of us ate. It was clear that Ghost was either not eating or eating alone.

There was a moment of silence before Toast spoke up. "Melissa. There is a favour I need to ask of you" his tone was quiet and serious. He did not dare to make eye contact with me. I looked at him, ignoring my food for the moment.

"uh yeah..sure." I was hesitant. What did he want from me? Wasn't assisting him in finding ghost enough? No Melissa, don't think that way. Toast is a gentleman, he has done you no harm.

"I would like for you to spend the night here, with Ghost in his room" he was straight to the point and blunt about his request.

I dropped my fork on my plate, shocked at his request. "You serious?"  anger and confusion flared up inside me. What the fuck? He expects me to sleep in the same room as someone who killed my friend and someone who could possibly kill me?!

"I understand you're shocked and confused but please. I noticed the first night you stayed here when he wanted to kill you, he didn't. Something stopped him. I want to see why that is"

"So basically what you're saying is that you want to use me as an experiment to see if you can control his murderous rages" I said bluntly, losing my appetite.

"Not in those exact words but yes" I let out a deep sigh. I didn't want to be here longer than I should but I also don't like disappointing people. What the hell am I getting into?

"Sure.." the word was out, I couldn't back out now. A small smile found itself on Toast's face. At least I pleased someone.

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

It took a while for the sun to go down but now it was time for bed. I didn't have any clothes one me but I didn't want to go back to get some. If this lasted longer than I expect I am sure Toast would drive me home to get some clothes.

I finished brushing my teeth, regretting ever agreeing to this. I had to stay in the same room as a killer. Toast owes me big time.

I walked in Ghost's room. Ghost was laying on the bed, his arm covering his eyes. My heart was racing out of fear. I had no idea what he'd do. He was unpredictable. I gulped, walking to the ready made inflatable bed that was made for me on the floor.

I tucked myself in, laying down and staring at the ceiling. Despite the aching feeling of fear in the pit of my stomach, I slowly drifted to sleep.
