Simply Invisible

Chapter 10

Melissa's POV:
My secret was out. I was sick. Very sick. And the schools bad boy new it.
He was messing with my head. He was the guy that drank, smoked, slept with as many girls that I could think of and then yesterday...

Well he... Poured his soul out to me. To me. Melissa Summers. The nerd. It was to good to be true, wasn't it? It had to be.

But them eyes... His eyes you just couldn't ignore. And they certainly were not lying. He said and something yesterday and I couldn't stop thinking about it, something his grandma said to him. "Follow your heart and take your head with you?".

Was I doing that? Just before I could dwell on that thought the nurse came in.

"Hi darling, I've brought you a lovely chicken salad?"

I shook my head no and swallowed the lump in my throat, knowing what was coming next. I clenched my fists tightly, my finger nails digging in to my palms, leaving horrible red marks.

The nurse looked at me with sad eyes and tilted her head to the side whilst crouching down to meet my eyes.

"Melissa you have to eat something, its been three days, you cant keep saying your not hungry we will have to... Get the tube".

My eyes widened at her words.

"Please" I begged on the verge of crying. Then I saw two other stern  nurses coming in with a bag of what looked like sick and a tube.

They pinned my arms and legs to the bed and I thrashed and screamed, rivers of tears falling down my face. And then she pulled the curtains shut. But...

Not before I saw a pair of eyes. Sharpened, full of pain and tearful. And they were a set of eyes no one could ever miss...

The nurse went to connect the tube to my nose when suddenly the curtains ripped open. And he came running to my side, unclenching my fists.

"Sir you cant be in here" The nurse bellowed.

And that was the moment when Leon Black looked into my eyes.
And then back to the nurses.

"I know, I do and I'm leaving soon but don't do this to her. She will eat. I know your tying to help her but I will make her eat normally. Without throwing up. You will Mel, wont you?" his eyes begged.

And I found myself nodding. The nurse sighed and unconnected the tube.

"1 hour, to make her eat that's all you got superman" she pointed at Leon.

But just before she turned around I lunged forward and slapped her chest furiously, over and over again.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" I cried.

Leon pulled me back.

"Melissa no, your not making situation better for yourself"

I let the nurse leave and she gave a warning glare to Leon, he nodded. He pulled me closer to his chest and I inhaled his warm, musky scent. Before pulling back.

"What are you doing here any way? You don't just get to stroll into here and act like superman WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT YOU KNOW" I screamed my voice getting higher as I went on " I CAN LOOK AFTER MYSELF"

He just stared. He didn't even bother replying. And he pulled me into his chest again and this time I didn't pull away. I just cried and cried. And we stayed like that for I don't know how long.

"Im sorry"

"Shh, dont apologise" he stroked my hair before darkness consumed me and sleep finally came.
