DOUBT (book two of MIME)

Chapter Six

Melanie woke up feeling very sweaty.
Her face was burning hot.
Tyler's arms were cuddling her like a stuffed animal.
That calmed her down from the nightmare she had.
It was just the usual, forgettable nightmare.

Maybe Tyler had forgiven her from yesterday.
Or there would be no reason why he's so close to her.
Maybe he made up his mind.

Tyler's Bandito outfit had yellow tape on both of his shoulders and one around his right bicep.
That reminded Melanie of Blurryface except his red band was on his left bicep.

It must have been raining out because the sound of little pins dropping on the tent could be heard.
Melanie instantly felt cold again from the cool air coming through.
She stuffed her face in Tyler's chest and held him close.
His heartbeat repeated itself in Melanie's ear.
It was like a song to her.
The rain was just background noise.
The thunder was the bass.
The lightning was the visual effects.

Tyler's eyes opened as thunder rumbled the ground beneath them.
His eyes saw Melanie first.
His lips kissed the top of her head.

"Melanie?"
He whispered.
Her tired self lifted her head up.
"What."
She was so out of it that it didn't even sound like a question.
"I've made up my mind."
That woke her up a bit.
"M'hm, what's that?"
She wondered what his decision was.
"I'll do it... I'll be... Blurryface."
Melanie gave a fake smile as she tried keeping herself awake.
"You don't have to, you know."
She said.
"I'm doing it for you."
He lifted her face up to meet her eyes.

Melanie giggles quietly.
"I love you."
Melanie told him.
She didn't know why she laughed when she could possibly never see the love of her life ever again.
Her hands pulled his face closer to hers, she kissed him like she would never be able to again.
Tyler's arms pulled her to be on top of him.
She was his own personal blanket now.
The kiss ended after a few minutes.
They were both left catching for air desperately.
Melanie laid her head on his chest again; listening to his continuous beat.
This time, it was a bit faster.
They both drifted off to sleep.

I jumped into the water with her after I'd killed the Bishop that almost killed her.
I couldn't find her body at first but I could definitely smell her.
I was very attracted to her smell and I cannot help but to keep that smell in my memory.
As I searched the water for her, I felt my heart racing, it ached.
It felt like my heart had just been torn apart.

When my eyes caught onto her body slowly being swallowed by the water I instantly felt her lungs screaming for oxygen.
I gave her some of mine with the, what I like to call it, power of the hand.
I grabbed her but then she suddenly died in my arms.
I turned my head to a Bishop that was not too far away in the water.

All I heard him say was:
"Pain, death."

Blurryface shuddered awake.
He was laying on the ground in the forest.

"You have to stop getting those nightmares, man. You're the only one who gets them."
Hope said.
Blurryface sat up and looked down at his shaky palms.
"Was it that bad?"
Hope sat down on the ground next to him.
"She died."
Blurryface said.
"That Melanie girl you're drooling over?"
Hope was annoying him.
"You know when can you ever have some manners and respect?"
Blurryface shot up on his feet, walking away to nowhere.
"It was a joke!"
He heard Hope shout.
He blocked him out and kept walking.
