Melancholy

Deal!!

Vern Vincent

It had been just a day, but I had already started missing those eyes. His friends were so sweet. They were so worried for him. When I drove him back home yesterday, the first thing they did was rush to him to make sure he was fine, shouting for taking his bike alone. But why can't he take his bike alone?? Was the only thought going in my head.

"Hey!!" Someone interrupted my thoughts, when I turned around it was Dean with the same set of friends, but I could not see Alex any where.

"Hey Dean"

"Ava this are my friends and guys this is Ava" he introduced

"Ava???" I questioned, but I realized giving that name to Alex. I rolled my eyes." Yes! Ava.. by the way Dean how's your friend, I hope he is doing well??" I asked.

"Yup! He is fine, he's on his way" he turned towards his friends with awkwardness filled in his eyes. I gave a questioning look.

"Hey! I'm Myra" the girl who stood beside Dean came towards me, flying her hands in the sky. She pulled me to a bone crashing hug.

"Hello" I answered back.

"Ava, we needed your..."

"She won't do it!!" A deep annoyed voice interrupted her. I turned only to meet those same brown eyes. His hair was messed. His white T-shirt, and those ripped jeans gave him a perfect look.

"But, let's try..."

"No" she was interrupted again." I know, she won't!!" He screamed back.

"But let her tell" some other guy from the group told " By the way I'm Tyson"  he forwarded his hand for handshake, which I gladly took with a smile.

"But what's the matter??" I asked them. Giving a worried look to Alex.

"It's none of your business, you see my friends here are just playing around" he says

"Shut up, let's tell her. Who knows she might say yes!! Please k...  I mean... I mean... Alex... please let's tell her" Myra pleaded

"Myra!! But..." He glared at her for a second "okay" he rolled his eyes.

"Then I think we should leave you both here and go" one of the other two girls told

"Really??" He sounded pissed " why should I tell her?"

"Cause I'm telling you to." Myra snapped

"Only I stay!! others off!!" Dean said this time. I stood there blank. Everyone left the three of us, after letting me know there names.

" So... What's the matter???" I questioned

"Okay.. listen Ava we need..." He stuttered. This is annoying. Like he is so fucking arrogant. Haaaaa

"First. you. listen. mister I don't like when people talk like this to me. So if you need something then please talk properly" I snapped a little louder than intended. I crossed by arms. I saw his fist balling up in anger. And Dean's hand sliding into Alex's shoulder. Suddenly Alex calmed.

"Okay.. fine.. we.." he turned towards Dean and found a glaring Dean with one of his eyebrows raised."o-kayyyy fi-ne... listen I need your help. Can you help me?" he asked suddenly he is annoyed.

"Sure. Is every.. everything alright??" I spoke. He turned towards Dean, But received a deadliest glare.

"Okay listen completely.. I..I.. need you... You.. to help me trap a guy" he stumbled on his words.

Wait what did he just say!! My inner voice shouted.

"Pardon me, I think I got you wrong"

"You got me right. Tell me your opinion. You can take your time" he stated.

"But, do it fast.." Dean trailed off as he was pulled away from me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's already two days I spoke to Alex, but I have not yet decided what to say. I asked all my friends opinions, few told go for it but others told no and there were few who told think and decide. hee... This is so confusing. I went to the park's ground, where I met Alex last time.

"Hey Ava!! So you are here to tell us yes right??" Alya spoke with her eyes filled with hope. She was one of Alex's friends. I remembered all of their names. They did introduce themselves last time. All the others turned towards me. Alex had a look of hope as well as disappointment

"Hey.."

"I told you" Myra spoke

"She would never say no" Tyson exclaimed

"You are a sweetheart" this time it was Richard. They all were clapping hands, giving high five, screaming, jumping but never let me talk.

"Guys!!" Alex exclaimed in top of his voice. They all stopped whatever they were doing. "I guess, she should continue." with that everyone turned towards me. Then glared at me for an answer.

"Hmm.. guys actually... I....hmm... I don't know... I am a little scared.." I managed to speak.

"What? Why?" Myra exclaimed. I looked down, I know they are disappointed in me, but i don't even know what should I do? They will have to accept it. They never told me the complete story... Who is he? What is this all about actually nothing! What can I do?

"Ava! You don't have to worry. I will be there. Watching you. U will be safe. I will always be there. I promise you i will protect you, he will do nothing to you." Alex promised. I was still scared. I still didn't know what should I do. I felt really safe, with those words. So....

"Okay..." I SAID YESS!!
