Opposites Attract

Regret

Melody:
The meeting went pretty well, Lucia was a little cold yesterday but it's not her fault, once she dated a guy she trusted, but he tried to kill her. I think that Tyler definitely warmed up to Lucia. They would be so cute together. Lucia is quiet, sweet and a fighter, while Tyler is carefree, silly, and rough. They are total opposites and are perfect for each other. Opposites attract after all.
Chris suggested that we all go Sprinkles and Fun for some ice cream, then after head out for a movie. I am just adding finishing touches to my outfit. I am where a t-shirt, a cute skirt, and my white converse.
I get a call from Jessie.
"Hey girl"
"Lucia and I, can't pick you up, because Tyler and Chris offered to pick us up"
"No problem I can drive myself"
"Um that's the problem, Blake is picking you up"
"What, no I hate him, he hates me"
"Sorry girl" she apologizes and hangs up
I refuse to sit in the same car as Blake so I head downstairs to find my keys, but of course Blake William Black is in front of my key drawer. Don't judge, I keep my keys in a drawer label keys. Stupid I know.
"Move aside knucklehead" I growl
"No, I am driving you"
"Ha ha very funny no"
"Just get in the car"
"Why you hate me, remember" I glare at him
"No reason, just get in my car" he says a little to quickly
"Tell me or I won't get in your car"
"You don't have too"
Before I process what he said, I am picked up and thrown into the front seat. He gets in the drivers seat and smiles
"I win"
"Jerk face"
"Please you love me"
"No I don't, well not anymore, I admit having some feeling for you" I start to say
"Really" he interrupts
"Let me finish, I did, but after you dumped my as a friend, I stop having feelings for you, I noticed that you are just another knucklehead trying to get into girls pants" I continue
He looks away, but I catch something before he turns his head
Regret
Did he regret it?
Why did I just spill my life story out to him.
Why did I just tell him I use to like him?
Why?
Do I miss him?
No
Did I regret being his friend
No, hanging out with him was some of the best moments of my life
But why?
He parks his car and we walk into the ice cream shop in a awkward silence
Lucia and Jessie send worried looks my way
I shrug
"You ok" Lucia mouth, Jessie can't read lips but Lucia and I can.
"I am fine' I lie, inside well I feel confused, and upset
Lucia just nods, but she knows something is off.

Blake:
I notice that Melody avoid me the whole time. She hasn't changed much. I mean she is more developed, she has curves in all the right places even though she is small. She has huge eyes and long eyelashes still. I notice that her small shape would fit perfectly with mine.
Ok, I'm turning into a stalker
I look back up to see Melody looking at me with a weird face, then looks back down.
I take this chance to check her out.
Her dimples when she smiles
Her green eyes
Her soft lips
So kissable
She has a bit of vanilla ice cream at the edge of her lips
Without thinking I lean forward and wipe it off with my thumb.
She looks at me in shock
I am in shock
Blake Black doesn't let a girl effect him
"There um was a little ice cream there" I say awkwardly
She quickly blushes and nods
"Awwwww that was so cute" A girl points out, um I think her name was Jessica
"Shut up" Melody speaks up
I laugh
"Did you just laugh Blake, Mr grumpy laugh, jeez you girls must be something else" Chris says
"Shut up" I say
Melody laughs, that wonderful sweet carefree laugh
I smile to myself
"So how long have you guys known each other" Tyler says
I don't say anything
"Like forever " Melody answers
I look at her, and she stares right back.
"So did anything happen between you guys" Jessica asks
"Well we were best friends, then...then" I answer
"Then some idiot told me that we couldn't be friends anymore" Melody growls, and looks back at her ice cream
"Come on, we have a movie to catch" Lucia, I think that was her name says
"Ok, Jessie and Lucia are with us, Melody your with Blake" Chris says, pulling Jessie and Lucia out of the shop before Melody or I agree to it
Melody groans
"Why do you hate me so much?" I ask
You know what she does, she laughs
Not one of those sweet laughs, a wicked one, a twisted one
"Oh that is funny, why do I hate you. I hate you for leaving me, for acting like I don't exist. You just assume that it will be ok to leave me and expect me not to hate you. I was 6 years old. You my only friends left me. Why? Why! Things change Blake. I changed. Things aren't the way it use to be. Ha even my family isn't complete" her voice breaks at the end of the sentence, and tears start to flow down her cheeks.
My heart breaks
It aches
I reach forward and pull her into my chest
Her hands banging my chest, and tears soaking through my shirt
"Why?" She whispers
"Why did you leave me" she continues
The words get stuck in my throat, I want to tell her badly, but stupid me keeps my mouth shut.
After a bit, she calms down a bit, she pulls away from me
"I didn't have a choice to join Storm, I was forced too" she says "I am not that weak 6 year old anymore, I have changed, and clearly you have to"
I try to say something but she just holds up her finger silencing me
"From now on, I won't talk to you, and you won't talk to me, we will still see each other because of gang stuff, but other then that, Blake William Black, stay the hell away from me" she says, wiping her tears and walking away
That was the first time, she ever said a bad word. The first time I have seen her cry
I regret so much, I regret not knowing her middle name, even though she knew mine, I regret everything.

That was sad. I am now sad.
Bye, Violet
