Simply Invisible

Chapter 1 1

Melissa's POV

I feet someone shaking me slightly. I stirred and mumbled.

"Get off me".
I heard him laugh. And that's when I remembered.
The nurses and the food and... Him. My hero.

"Morning beautiful"

I got up and stretched my arms. And well there was the manky chicken salad awakening me. I have to eat that? Ughh.

"Eat up" Leon smirked

I punched him playfully in his arms. I got of the hospital bed and scanned the door for any nurses. I turned around and grabbed the salad, lunging for the bin.

Suddenly I was seized by the waist and tackled back onto the bed. Leon was laying over me, looking at me like a teacher does a naughty student.

"Uh, Uh, Uh, Melissa, no you don't".

I pounted at him. And then sighed. I pushed him off me and sat up.

"You still don't get it Leon, no matter how much I explain it you still wont understand."

"Then help me understand"

"I cant eat Leon, it physically hurts me, Ill never be..." he encouraged me to go on "Good enough"

He got off the bed and pull me up, I stared at the floor

"Look at me Mel"

"If I do ill never be able to look away" Leon laughed and repositioned my head too look at him.

"I think its you that doesn't get it , you are good enough, for me, God damn for everyone on the whole planet, your amazing but you need to eat its making you ill when you don't, and it certainly doesn't make you any more beautiful. If that's possible because your already the most beautiful girl I have ever see. And I'm not just saying it. Trust me, if you were ugly I'd have let you known."

I sighed and then picked up the stupid salad and eat it, ALL OF IT. And then I was just about to run to the bathroom when Leon grabbed me.

" I swear i'm not going there to throw up, just let me go, please" and he let go.

Leon's POV

I stood outside the bathroom door for 5 minutes but I couldn't hear anything. Not vomiting, not the sink. Nothing. I knocked on the door.

"Melissa?"

Nothing. I opened the door, it was unlocked. I went in side only to find Melissa starting at her reflection in front of the mirror with her hand on top of her stomach, crying. Oh no. And then she saw me.

And fell on to the floor, curled up in a ball with her hands a round her knees. I went up to her and crouched down, gently touching her arm. She punched it back.

"GET OFF ME LEON , I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE PROJECT, I AM BROKEN AND TORN AND NO ONE CAN FIX ME, SO DON'T TRY TO. I AM JUST ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR GIRLS THAT YOU WILL DITCH."

I couldn't speak. I was lost for words. She wasn't just any girl, she was special, why couldn't she see that?

Suddenly, two nurses came running in and pulled me out of the bathroom.

"Get out, sir"

I was pulled out of the room. Whilst calmed Mel and strapped her down. And I watched through the glass, my heart shattering into a million pieces.

Oh Melissa Summers what have you done to me?
