Simply Invisible

Chapter 9

Melissa's POV:

Oh my God. He was there. In real life. I mean in flesh.
Standing in front of me with his mouth wide open. And may I add looking gorgeous as evaaar.

NO. Melissa stop it. I cant do this. I can't go back there. No. Especially now that he knows what I am.

I still found it hard to believe that Leon Black was stood here and there was me with this... Practically white trash bag on. Just great.

But wait.. Why was he here? And had he been crying?

Finally after what had seemed to be decades Leon broke the silence.

"Mel, What are you doing here?" His voice was croaky and hoarse.

"I told you i'm sick and I was just about to ask you the same question."

"Its my sister she's... Well never mind"

He looked lost. I just wanted to go over and hug him. No Melissa. Stop.

After a short silence Leon looked at me with his broken hazel eyes and it took everything thing in my power to not get lost in them. Again.

"Why did you walk away Mel?"

I was lost for words, so I didn't speak.

"When we were at your house doing our physics project. You said that one day I'll realise it was hopeless after all. But I won't."

He ran his fingers through his hair. Something he does when he is confused, or angry. And he suddenly got considerably closer to me. And I too found myself standing up from the bed.

" I've never felt this way about a girl before Mel. Ever. Or anyone in that matter. I think about you all the time. I cant just erase you from my brain. And I know you think your not beautiful . But I just cant see it Melissa, I swear. And I know that you feel something for me too. I can sense it. We have something Melissa. You, I nor anyone else can deny that. You might not want to be with me Mel but the universe does want you to be. I want you to be. You can't keep pushing me away. All your efforts will fail. You cant object something you have never tried. You know my grandma once said "Follow your heart and take your head with you". Melissa please one chance. I beg off you. I want you. I need you. I... I.. I love you. "

I felt a single, salty tear fall from my face but not before it was caught by  the boy they call bad. He shook his head at me.
"Don't cry".
I rested my head on his.

"Oh, Leon don't do this to me. I cant bear breaking your heart after you just layed it on the line."

"Then don't" And with that he crashed his lips on mine. And a feeling over come me. Where everything made sense. Electricity. Chemistry.

Magic.

And then he left. Just like dynamo. Some may have called that my first true love's kiss.

I called it the bad boy was messing with my head. And he was right. Try as I might to deny it there was no escaping... I was falling in deeper and deeper into this rut for the bad boy every day.

Now I was scared I may never leave the rut because he was my  life boat.... What if I drowned?

So many what ifs. What if I fall? But oh Melissa what if you fly!

I hat to try. What could happen?

Little did I know the ride I had in store... Because fairytales always have a twist...
