Life as a fangirl

Chapter 21 - It was just the beginning

Chapter 21 - It was just the beginning

I spring away from Noah and turn to look at a fuming Adam. His fists are clenched and his face is red. " Adam. Its not what it looks like. " I start but am cut off.

" You're cheating on me? " I am about to protest when he continues, " After everything. " He says in a quieter tone.

Zoe appears at the door and places an arm on Adam's bicep. " Is everything okay? " She asks him.

I'm about to tell her to get her hands off my man, when Adam grabs her waist and pulls her to him. Then the most horrifying sight ever.

He kisses her.

I feel like my heart is being taken apart one by one. Tears prick at my eyes but I refuse to let them show. I stand, paralyzed with hurt. He finally stops kissing her and turns toward me. " By the way, we made out in her room the other night. I felt awful and pushed her away. I was actually coming to tell you about it. But now I don't regret it. In fact we are about to go have sex. " He grabs a grinning Zoe's hand and walks in the direction of her room.

I turn and look at Noah. He actually looks guilty. " Melinda I am so sorry. I'll go talk to him. " I shake my head. I need to handle this. I politely ask him to leave and he does. I get on my bed and plug in my earphones and stare at the ceiling.

I'm a fuck up.

********** Adam's POV ***********

My heart hurts. It feels like a million tiny pin prick needles stab at it.

How could she do this to me?

What did I do wrong?

Was I not good enough?

Thoughts are running through my head. Zoe runs a hand up and down my chest. I push it away. I can't believe I kissed Zoe right in front of Mel... Melinda just because I was mad at her.

Stop she deserves it. She cheated on you.

But how do I know that's true? I went straight for assumptions. I didn't even let her explain. It hurts even more when I think about her heartbroken face. The hurt behind her eyes as I told her about the accident kiss with Zoe the other night. What if she didn't cheat on me? What if its all a big misunderstanding? I get up and am about to go to Mel's room to sort this out.

" Where you going? " Zoe asks.

" I have to go talk to Mel. I think I made a mistake. "

" She cheated on you! " She screams, agitated.

I just shake my head. Zoe has always been jealous of Mel. I mean what girl wouldn't be? She is perfect. I go down the hall to her room. Before I go in, I listen. I hear a sobbing sound. My heart clenches knowing I done that to her. I'm about to walk in when Amy and Michelle bust through the door.

They both shoot me cold glares. " You can't see her right now. " I'm about to protest but Michelle continues, " why didn't you just check the camera? Why would you do that to her without any evidence? "

Camera?

" She has a camera in her room? " They both glare in response. " Look can I please go talk to her? I've made a huge mistake. " I plead. The don't listen though. They point down the hall. I grudgingly go down.

********** Melinda's POV ***********

The next day I ignore Adam the best I can. I know he tried to come and talk to me. But to be honest I don't want to talk to him. He hurt me. He kissed her. I'm walking down the hall to the pool. I figure I could use a nice swim right now. I go over to the pool control box and press the heat button. I take off my over clothes and step inside my pool. Its already warm. I swim a couple of laps before I decide its time for dinner.

I go and sit in my regular spot at the dinner table. I can smell the food from here. It smells like, crawfish. My predictions are confirmed when Kat comes out with crawfish, just fancier looking. I glance up for a second and catch Adam staring at my chest, in almost pain.

What's so wrong with my boobs?

I look down and realize he is staring at the necklace he gave me when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I want to take it off, but I just can't. I don't know why. Every time I go to remove it, it is like getting punched in the stomach. I quickly tuck the necklace into my shirt. Adam frowns at that.

I feel someone poke my side. I look up to see Rosalyn, Zoe's sister. " Can I talk to you for a minute? " She asks politely. Even though she has been nice every time I've encountered her, I'm still a little hesitant. But nonetheless I agree.

We walk out of the room and into the living room. " I would just like to say sorry. About you and Adam of course. " She says giving me a sad smile. " But anyway, I know my sister is a real bitch to you. I don't exactly get along with my family. Noah may seem all kind and loving but he has a really menacing side. So I thought it was only right for you to know, that the night in your room, when he came in with the gash, him and Zoe planned it. Zoe cut his neck and sent him in there. She wanted Adam to herself, and Noah thought that since you would be upset, you would want to come to him for comfort. I don't know why, but my siblings are pretty dumb. I already told Adam all of this. "

I let her words sink in. I'm not shocked. I would expect something like that from Zoe. But that is not what I am mad about. " Thanks. But that isn't the reason I'm mad at him. I'm mad at him that he kissed Zoe right in front of me just to hurt me. And he kissed her the other night. "

She nods her head in understanding. We walk back to the dining room table.

Tomorrow everyone is leaving.

And I couldn't be more happy.

•••••••••••••••

I'm almost to my room when someone grabs my arm from behind. " Melly... " Adam starts. " I am so sorry. It was an accident. "

" Cheating isn't an accident, its a choice. And Adam you didn't just cheat on me, you cheated on us. You didn't just break me. You broke our future. " I say and storm into my room. I don't have to look back to know that he is almost in tears. I'll admit, maybe I was too hard on him. I lay awake sometimes thinking I should give him another chance. But then I remember the pain I felt and those thoughts quickly dissolve away.

•••••••••••••

I wake up around one the next afternoon. I know what your thinking. ' How did you sleep that long? '

Well...

I'm a teenage fangirl.

Simple enough.

I go down the stairs happy to see everyone with their bags leaving. The storm has finally calmed down. Zoe gives me a glare as she walks out. Noah gives me a sad smile, and Rose gives me a real smile. Adam's family already left, is what Kat told me. I tell my friends bye and join Ethan and Kat in the living room.

Ethan is blushing and Kat is in the verge of giggling. What happened?

As if reading my thoughts, Kat answers. " I'm not reading your thoughts honey, you just said that out loud. And anyway, I caught Ethan making out with one of your friends. " She smirks evilly at him, while he glares.

When she says her name, I gasp.

Oh my god?
