Fragile Hearted

Chapter 3

Millie's POV
Melody was really pretty, I felt so small standing next to her and all her glory. She never really acknowledged me whenever we all hung out. She was focused on Jonah the whole time.

"Jonah your hair is so messy, fix it up for me please?" Melody said while batting her eyes. That girl had no control over herself. Who does she think she is flirting with him like that. She try's way to hard.

" I can fix my hair for you Melody" Jake said while running his hand through his hair. He's had a crush on Melody for as long as I've known him. Which isn't that long but still. Melody wants nothing to do with him. She uses him for sex and that's about it. If she need something to do she calls Jake. I hate that she uses him. Jakes a really good guy, he's just caught up in her little bubble. Jonah pays no attention to Melody's comment and looks over at me. I twirl my hair around my finger. Jonah just stares at me while Melody and Jake have their own conversation about something, I couldn't really hear them.

"Millie, are you okay?" He whispers so only I can hear him " you look a little sick" Did I look sick? I felt fine. I looked up from my hair around my finger into Jonah's eyes. His eyes were so beautiful I couldn't control myself. I reached up and moved a piece of hair from in front of his right eye.

"Y-your eyes are r-really beautiful" oh god why was I stuttering. Jonah broke out into a slight smirk.

"Thanks Millie, but are you sure your okay?" He sounded really concerned. And I actually did start feeling a little light headed but I thought it was just from all the crying last night. Melody broke me and Jonah out of our little staring contest.

"OMG Jonah, we should go see a movie together, just me and you it would be soooo nice" Jonah looked over to Melody and smiled.

"Sorry Mel but Millie needs to be taken care of and I just can't leave her here alone" He threw his arm over my shoulder and gave it a squeeze. After talking for a few hours Melody and Jake leave. After they leave Jonah gets up and walks to his room leaving me alone in the living room. I start thinking to myself why Jonah passed up hanging out with Melody, the prettiest girl we knew. I get up from the couch dismissing my thoughts and walked up stairs. As I'm walking upstairs I bump into to Jonah and almost fall back onto my butt. Jonah grabs my waist and violently pulls me into his chest. Luckily this motion prevented me from falling.

"I-I'm really sorry Millie I wasn't paying attention. Did I hurt you?" He asked while his eyes jolted back and forth looking for any signs that he hurt me. I look up into his eyes trying not to cry. I'm very fragile and him pulling me forwards actually hurt. I can tell he sees the tears in my eyes and he quickly pulls me into a hug.

"Millie I'm so sorry I...." I cut him off and pushed him out of my way softly breaking our hug.

"It's fine, I'm fine Jonah don't worry about it you saved me in a way, so thanks" I wipe my face to get rid of the tears that are now falling. Jonah can be very rough sometimes. It's like he doesn't know his own strength. I walk around Jonah and go into my room. I walk over to the full sized mirror next to my window. I pull up my shirt to see if Jonah's hands left any bruises. Jonah left to medium sized bruises on each of my hips. I wince at the pain. Jonah clears his throat. He's been standing in the doorway. I quickly pull down my shirt.

"Millie I'm so sorry. Let me help. I'll get some ice or something." Jonah looks worried like I might die from him leaving a mark on me. I tried to walk around Jonah to go sit back in the living room but he grabbed my arm. Hearing my gasp he let go. He puts his hand in front of me telling me to stop. I do as he says and look up into his eyes. We stare at each other for what seems like minutes before he reaches up and touches my face.

"Millie, I love you a lot and I didn't mean to hurt you. I will never do it again. Before I can respond to him he leans down and kisses me. It takes me awhile to kiss him back but eventually I do. Jonah breaks the kiss after a few minutes and walks away. I just stand there touching my lips. I just kissed Jonah, I just kissed Jonah Winters the hottest boy in town.
