Chapter 13

MELANIE RICHARDS

“Well, I’m done with this thing. I’m going to take you home now.” He says pointing out to the driveway.

“What? Really? Now?” I bite my lip. I look over to Niall who is completely pissed, a part of me wants to go with Niall. Or probably the majority of me wants to go with Niall.

“Well, yeah, I took you here, and now I’m taking you home.”  He smiles.

“You are in the middle of something in there and-“

“Stop rambling around. Do you want to get out of here?” He pants.

“Well, yeah.” I scrunches my nose and look over to Niall who is smiling at me, gesturing me to go with Miles.

Miles leads me to the car he parked earlier. Thank God, Miles has some manners. He should’ve taken me home by now. I look over to Niall who is left out without an answer. He walks to the crowd house.

“You were going to go home with Niall,weren’t you?” He asks as he starts the engine.

“No. Pfft.” I giggle. 

“Well, should I take you to Jane’s house? You told your mom you have a sleepover at Jane’s.”

“Yeah, if that’s okay. Jane waited for me, though.” Although her house is far from here.

“Yeah, sure,” He grins.

“By the way, why would you ran after me and changed your mind in sudden? It’s kind of freaking me out.” I giggle.

“I don’t want you to go home with a stranger. Obviously.” He smirks and continues to drive. Niall is not a stranger, I want to add but I keep that in my farthest mind. A few minutes later, he parks his car on the driveway. “Well, we’re here.” He sighs as he stares directly into my eyes. His eyes are bloodshot from the drunken state he is at now. To my realization, this isn’t Jane’s house. This is Miles’ house and Jane’s place is still 5 blocks away from here.

“Uh, I asked you to drive me to Jane’s.”

“You’re so beautiful.” He chuckles.

“What? You are drunk, Miles--“

He suddenly leans in in such brief moment and kisses my unfinished motion lips. His mouth is full with alcoholic taste and the thought of him kissing me, right now, is a shocker. I can’t keep my eyes shut. Instead, I pop my eyes out by his action. I quickly pull his body out of me and I jerk away to make a gap between us.

“What the hell?!” I nearly shout.

“Come on. Have some fun.” He says way too deep and he slowly closes the gap between us, again. And he reaches my waist as his face is only inches from mine. I quickly push him by his shoulder. “Come on, please,” He pulls the back of my head and pull myself to him.

“Miles! Stop!” I pull myself from his grip. “I don’t want this!”

“Seriously? I took you on a fucking date. And this is what I got?!” He groans.

“Yes, you jerk! Get away from me.” I pull the handle and get out of his car and walks down the pavement.

“Get inside! Come on!” He shouts through his lustful voice.

“What do you want?!” I nearly shout.

“Let me see,” He shuts his eyes and smirks, mumbling. “I want to make a gap between that hole.” He sighs and rests his head on the car door.

My jaw drops as I lift my middle finger high. “There are no holes for you, ass ‘hole’” I keep on walking and walking. I knew from the start it was a terrible idea. I’m so stupid for letting him get to me. Miles shouts at me from the far a couple times. I run to lose his sight.

Where should I go? Where should I stay for the night? It’s nearly 4 am and Jane’s house is way too far from here.              

Jamie! His house isn’t so far. Just 2 blocks away. I pull out my phone from my pocket and dial Jamie. On the third ring, he answers. Thank God.

“Hello? Melanie?” He answers.

“Hey. Are you still up? Can I stay at your place? Like now?” I ask through the line as I walk down the pavement. “If it’s okay for Elle. You guys are not love making, are you? I don’t want to disturb you guys.”

“Well, we just finished." He chuckles. "It’s okay, though. Where are you?” He asks.

“Not too far from there. A couple walks I’ll be in front of your house.” I sigh.

“What are you doing  in the middle of the night walking around the neighborhood?”

“It was Miles! I’ll tell you when I get there.” I hang up the phone and I hold myself with my arms as the wind blows sending me chills down my spine. I shouldn’t have come. I should be sleeping right now preparing for tomorrow’s study schedule in the public library. I feel so stupid for all of this.

Just imagine if I came home with Niall. Would Niall be any worse than Miles?

No.

I finally stop my tracks in front of Jamie’s house. I knock on the door and Jamie opens the door. I quickly pull him into a hug. A tight hug.
