Chapter 27

Melanie's POV

"I'm gonna go on a run, I'll be back in a little bit." Wesley says, pulling on his gym shorts.

"Alright." I say and he comes over to kiss my cheek before leaving.

A few minutes after he leaves, his phone starts to buzz, signaling he has a text. I walk over and see it's from Misty.

I unlock his phone, looking at the texts they've sent to each other. Why does he even have her number?

'Leave me alone.' He says.

'Wes, I know you felt something in that kiss too.. It's been so long.' She says and I fall to the floor with the phone.

I had a suspicion he was cheating on me, I just didn't want to be right. I walk over to the bathroom after setting Wesley's phone back down. I turn the shower on and get in with my clothes still on after shutting the door and locking it. The water is freezing but I honestly don't give a fuck. I want it to numb my emotions and make me not think about anything. I don't even know if I'm crying, because there's water rolling down my face. I sit there, and close my eyes, resting my elbows on my knees and I rest my chin in my hands. Why would he do this to me? Why would he cheat on me again?

"Babe? I'm home." I hear him call but I don't answer, I just stay in the same position.

I'm shivering by now but it doesn't seem to faze me.

"Melanie?" I hear Wesley ask, and I heart the door knob jiggle.

"Melanie? Please open the fucking door. Melanie!" He calls, trying to get the door open and I shake my head and my bottom lip begins to tremble.

"Mel, I'm gonna break the fucking door down if you don't open it! Please baby, just open the damn door." I hear him plead.

I hear the door bust open a second later and Wesley rushes over to me, pulling the shower curtain back quickly.

"Mel." He breathes out, shutting the water off and I look up at him, water clouding my vision.

"How could you?" I choke out.

"What? Mel, I need to get you to the hospital. You're fucking freezing." He says and I swat his hands away.

"Don't touch me!" I yell, backing away from him and from the look on his face you can tell I broke his heart by my words.

"Please baby, I need to help you or you're gonna get sick."

"I don't need your help and don't call me baby! I'm not your baby anymore."

"W-what?"

"You know what you did." I say and before he can answer, the paramedics come rushing in and I get confused.

Wesley must've called them when he realized he couldn't get the door open and I wasn't responding to him. I glare at him and the paramedics push him out of the bathroom. They get me on the gurney and Wesley walks out with us, getting in the ambulance with me and the doctors.

Wesley's POV

I've been sitting in this fucking waiting room for the past 2 hours and I can't take it anymore. Finally, Drew and Keaton come rushing in and they looked worried. I can't blame them.

"What happened?" They both ask at the same time.

"I came home from a run and she was in the bathroom with the shower on and her clothes still on. The water was fucking freezing and I think she was in there for awhile."

"Do you know why?" Drew asks and they sit down.

"I sort of have a clue but I'm not sure." I lie. I know I'm fucking right and I can't deny it.

"Okay.. Are you okay?" Keaton asks, patting my shoulder.

"I don't know, Keats. Her lips were blue." I say, my bottom lip trembling.

He gives me a sympathetic look and as I'm about to go get a drink of water, the doctor comes in and I sprint over to him.

"Is she okay?" I ask immediately.

"Yes. You may go see her." He says and I rush past him and down the hallway and to her room.

She's asleep and her lips are still a bit blue. They have her wrapped up in a bunch of blankets and I sigh at how comfortable she looks.

"Melanie." I whisper, taking her hand in mine and she wakes up immediately.

As soon as she sees me, she snatches her hand from mine and she begins to panic.

"Please calm down." I say, standing up and cupping her face in mine.

"Leave me alone." She says, shoving me off of her weakly.

"Why are you pissed at me?" I ask even though I already know the answer.

"You cheated on me, asshole." She spits, glaring at me.

"Mel, it was a one time thing. I promise."

"Then why is she still texting you?"

"You went through my phone?"

"You have no right to be mad at me right now." She says and I sigh.

"Look, I'm sorry. Mel, I'm so so sorry."

"I don't know if I want to forgive you. You probably had sex with her too."

"No, I promise we didn't, Melanie. We didn't even get that close." I say and she looks off.

"Did she move to New York?"

"Hell no. I had no clue why she was here."

"Yeah, to steal you away from me."

"Mel." I warn.

"Sorry." She says and I take her hand, kissing the back of it.

"Don't apologize. Please. I'm not gonna see her again, please believe me." I beg, keeping her hand in mine.

"I don't know, Wes."

"Just think about it, please? Once we get you out of this hospital we can talk about it, okay?" I ask and she nods and a feeling of relief goes through me.

I give her a big smile and I would kiss her if it wasn't for the situation we were in right now.

After a few minutes, the doctor comes back in and I stand up immediately.

"Wes, sit down." Melanie says, laughing as she tugs my hand to get me to sit back down.

I do and the doctor walks over to his chair by the bed.

"So, Melanie here will get to go home tomorrow. Wesley, I need you to take care of her and make sure she doesn't take cold showers. If she gets cold, get her under the blankets and I would suggest laying with her because she will get cold flashes for a couple days. And that's about it."

"Thank you, doctor." I say, standing up again to shake his hand.

He nods and walks out, leaving me and Melanie alone again. That is, until Drew and Keaton come walking in.

"Hey guys." Melanie says, trying to sit up.

"Whoa baby, don't move." I say, grabbing her hand as she lowers herself back down.

"How're you doing, Mel?" Drew asks and she grins.

"Fine. Just stuck in a stupid hospital bed." She says and we all laugh a little bit.

It's silent for awhile before I get up and take Drew and Keaton outside of the room.

"I think you two should leave. She's gonna get out of the hospital tomorrow anyway, and she needs her rest." I say, looking behind me to see her taking a sip of water.

"Okay, we'll see you later." Drew says and Keaton nods.

"Thank you. Bye." I says, and head back in the room, closing the door behind me.

"Wes, I wanna go home. It's so fucking uncomfortable in here."

"I know, baby. How about you go to sleep, yeah? It's almost midnight." I say, yawning.

"Can you get in the bed with me?" She asks, scooting over to make room for me.

"Sure." I say, standing up and getting under the covers with her.

I wrap my arms around her, and of course she's shivering. But as I hold her, she begins to stop. She falls asleep after a few minutes and I continue to keep her close to me.

-

"Wesley, wake up." I hear Melanie say, laughing as she tries to wake me up.

"Oh, good morning baby." I say, smirking down at her.

She leans up to kiss me on the cheek and I turn my head so she kisses me on the lips instead.

"Fuck your lips are freezing." I say, pulling away.

"Sorry." She mumbles, blushing a bit.

"Hey, stop apologizing." I say, taking her chin and mine and making her look at me.

She nods, and I kiss her cheek before getting out of the uncomfortable bed.

"You get to leave today." I say, stretching.

"Yep." She says and I smile at her.

"I'm gonna go check you out." I say and head out of the room, heading towards the front desk.

When I'm done checking her out of the hospital, they give me permission to let her leave. One of the nurses brings in a wheelchair, which isn't necessary, and I help get her in it.

After we get her in my car, I thank the nurse and get in as well. When we get home, I help her inside and it's difficult.

"I've got it." She snaps, and she pushes past me.

I sigh, closing the front door behind me and locking it.

"Mel, are you still mad at me?" I ask, walking in our bedroom to see her half naked. "Whoa, shit." I mumble, trailing my eyes down her body.

"Not really, but it doesn't mean it's right what you did. If you do it again, I'm moving out." She says and I walk up behind her, her back pressed up against my front.

"Of course it isn't." I say, playing with the hem of her underwear and I feel her breath hitch.

"Wes." She whispers as I run my hands up and down her thighs.

She turns around, ripping my shirt off of me and I smirk at her. She presses her lips to my neck and I groan. She presses me up against the wall, tangling her fingers in my hair.

"Mel." I breathe out, putting my hands on her waist and I walk us back to the bed. The back of her knees hit the bed and she falls back, with me on top of her.

"I'm gonna fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk in the morning." I mumble, bringing my lips to her collarbones and she moans in response.

We remove the rest of our clothes and she kisses me passionately...

-

"Fuck." I breathe out, laying down next to Melanie on our bed.

"That was amazi-" She begins to say but is cut off by the doorbell.

I sigh, getting up and putting on underwear and sweatpants. I walk to the door and open it and there stands her brother.

"Hey Wes."

"Hey, Matthew.. What are you doing here?" I ask, letting him in.

"I came to see you guys. By the way, you need to do something with your hair, you got major sex hair dude." He says and my eyes widen, and I go to the bedroom quickly.

"Who is it?" Melanie asks as soon as I get in the bedroom.

"It's your brother, get dressed." I say and she gets up quickly, getting some clothes on.

She fixes her hair and so do I. We walk back out and Matthew is sitting down on the couch.

"Hey, Matthew. What do you need?" She asks, sitting down next to him and I sit down on the chair in the living room.

"Okay, I need to tell you something."

"Yeah?" She asks, urging him on.

"I've met a girl and uh... We're getting married."

"What?!" Melanie yells, standing up quickly.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Matthew, you're only 18! You can't marry anybody!" She yells and he stands up as well.

"I can do whatever I want, Melanie! I'm legal now and me and her are in love!" He yells back, shoving past her and slamming the door shut when he leaves.

"Fuck!" She yells, throwing something against the wall and it shatters.

I sit there in astonishment and shock of what just happened as Melanie continues to destroy things.
