Simply Invisible

Chapter 12

It had been two months since my last outburst at the hospital with Leon.

Well had still been talking to each other, on and off. But JUST AS FRIENDS. Things have been okay for me recently.

I have been in and out of hospitals and I am recovering slowly.

I cant deny it hasn't been awkward between me and Leon but we don't really discuss anything other than work in school so there isn't much to talk about any more. ESPECIALLY MY ILLNESS.

He still gets attention from girls and I still am the shy girl I used to be.

And that's it.

We were at Leon's house working on YET ANOTHER one of our science projects when I caught him staring at me.

Not again.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked.

He just continued staring at me with a blank expression on his face.

"Why do you have scars on your wrists?" He replied as right as rain, still staring at my face.

I opened my mouth wide in fear and shock and viciously pulled down the sleeves on my jumper.

"I've already seen them Melissa"

"Because I'm sick"

"NO, not this time, I want more than that Melissa."

I slammed my book on to his bed and bellowed.

"WHY, WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED IN ME, FOR ONCE IN YOUR BLOODY LIFE STOP WITH THE STUPID QUESTIONS"

"Because Melissa. Because I care about you. Not because I want to care but because I do. And maybe Melissa because I cant stop thinking about you. Do you know how annoying that is? I have to wake up every morning thinking about you and coming into class working on frigging physics acting like I don't give a damn when I actually do. Acting like I don't care that there's a girl next to me that is physically hurting herself and is in deep grave pain when I do. I do care Melissa. I do. So maybe you think I am asking you stupid questions but all I want to do is help. To see all the pain removed from your body and into mine because I cant bear to see you in pain. I cant bare it that your in pain and there's nothing I can do. And that you don't want my help. I just want to be a part of your life. IN ANYWAY. So don't push me away. Because I've said it once and ill say it again. You will fail. I love everything single thing about you. From the hair on your head to the bones in your body. And I will not see you sit here and destroy a life so precious as yours. Because you are too important. To me. Now that I have met you it feels like I didn't have a life that was worth living before you. I love you Melissa Summers. And sometimes fairy tales exist because who ever thought the schools bad boy would once upon a time fall I love with the broken geek? "

" Now I'm not expecting you to reply but I hope that answered your question and that you know that not one single letter of that was a lie. "

He cared. HE CARED. About me. My life.

Maybe there was a glimmer of hope. Some where. Some how. Some thing made the bad boy good.

But hope is never permanent. And a glimmer never last forever....

And that I was soon to find out....

Hope you enjoyed
Much love
