Some People Are Just Kind

Chapter Twenty Seven
Some People Are Just Kind

Again! I think this chapter was number 25! Not 27!! Ahh. I'm going crazy!

CHECK THE PHOTO ABOVE FOR A VISUAL OF MELODY'S ROOM!!!

---

"You love what Melody?" I say.

"I...I was saying I love that he cared about me." She says. I furrow my eyebrows into one intersecting V.

"Why would you need caring for? Not that I'm saying that you don't but why would he particularly need it today? Or yesterday?"

"I-I" she's lost for words. She won't tell me about the alcohol. Or even admit the kiss with Conrad. On a fucking date I let her go on! This whole damn relationship is full of lies!

"Mel-" Conrad starts to say before I interrupted him.

"Shut up Conrad. I was asking Melody." She looks at me and shakes her head.

"I-I can't say it Kyle." She looks down at her feet. She's embarrassed. It's obvious the way she bites her lower lip, looks down at the ground and taps her right foot gently up and down.

"I know you kissed Conrad." I say bluntly forcing myself to stay focused and not for in to temptation to kiss her and say: "it's fine. I forgive you."

"What?" She looks behind her at Conrad, but he's gone.

"Don't act dumb with me Melody. I know that you got drunk yesterday. I know you kissed Conrad on the date that I let you go on."

"Kyle-" but I lift up my hand to stop her.

"Don't act innocent Melody. Don't "Kyle" me. How could you? I let you on a date with Conrad expecting you would end your feelings with him and be fully in love with me but all that came out of it was that?" I pause calming my nerves and letting Melody have a chance to reply.

"H-how did you f-find out?"

"Does that matter? You lied to me Melody. If you want to be in a relationship with me you have to not lie and be a hundred percent honest with me. Not telling me about the kiss." I take a deep breath. "Melody?"

She's frozen solid, staring at her feet. "I'm-I'm sorry Kyle." She whispers barely audible for me to hear. "I-I don't know what I was thinking." She uses the tips of her fingers to wipe her eye. It takes that motion for me to realise she's crying. "It's n-not like I-I don't love y-you or anything."

"Then what is it?" Stay strong Kyle. Don't give in. "Melody. What is it? Why did you kiss Conrad?"

"I don't know." She mumbles.

"Then why are we even in a relationship! If this relationship means that your just going to go behind my back and use the freedom I give you to hang out with boys to cheat on me then how can I trust you and keep this relationship going?"

Her body is shaking, her hands are trembling, but she's not crying anymore. She's probably cold.

"Melody. I need an answer." I say firmly. Keeping my hands by my sides in a ball.

"I-I don't know Kyle."

"Do you want to be with me or Conrad?"

"Obviously you K-Kyle. I don't love Conrad!" Her voice is more firm now, she's stopped shaking. Melody looks up at me, her eyes bloodshot and hair tangled.

"Kyle," she takes a step towards me. "I don't like Conrad. I don't want anything to do with Conrad. I love you Kyle. I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't."

***

"Kyle," she takes a step towards him. "I don't like Conrad. I don't want anything to do with Conrad. I love you Kyle. I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't."

I step back onto the pavement from my previous behind the car. Kyle embraces Mel in a hug and kisses her on the forehead. He notices me and nods. I take that as my queue to leave. I give a thumbs up and walk in the opposite direction away from them.

So Melody is still in love with Kyle. But that won't last, I know it won't. I was Melody's first love and first kiss. And everyone remembers their first kiss. Exactly like I planned, I'll always be in her thoughts, as long as she always remembers my kiss. As long as she got me in her mind that's all I need to move on and go to the next step. But thanks to Kyle, he's taken the majority of her thoughts. But I know there's a part of her heart that belongs to me. And I'm not letting that be taken from me by a low life like Kyle.

-END OF CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN-

Short chapter. I know. But it had a lot of dramaaaa. I have another question.

Question: in the chapter would you like me to write ___ POV or not? I tried it in this chapter and used the *** as an indicator but would you like the POV as well?
