Chapter 15

Melanie's POV

"And that is all the notes for today, you are dismissed." One of my professors say, ending the class.

I sigh, picking up my bag and my books and head out of the classroom and down the hallway.

When I turn the corner, I see Thomas and his mom and from what I can hear, they're arguing. I move to hide behind behind one of the pillars in the hallway connected to the wall. I can hear their conversation clearly.

"Mom, I've ruined her relationship! This is fucking stupid!" Thomas whisper yells.

"Me and her dad are doing this for both of you two's own good. She'll get over him." I'm really starting to not like Dr. Fields.

"Well I'm done doing it for you two. Pick someone else. I can't stand to see her this way."

"No, Thomas. If you don't follow through with it I'll take your scholarship here away from you. The only reason you even got into this school is because of me."

"You're my mom! You can't do that!"

"Actually I can. Now, I gotta go. Go out with Melanie or something." She says and I lean my head back against the wall as she walks by, and sigh.

Thomas heads the other way, looking pissed off and I start to head towards the exit and to my car.

All I can think about is why did Thomas defend me like that? Doesn't he want to be with me? And why am I thinking this? I should be thinking about Wesley for the time being.

I decide to head over to Wesley's apartment, even though it's a horrible idea but I do it anyway.

When I get there, I knock a few times but no answer. I sigh, and grab my key to his apartment and walk inside. I look around everywhere but he's not here. When I walk into the kitchen, I notice a note on his kitchen counter and I pick it up.

'To Drew,

Meet me at the club on 4th street and tell the bouncer you know me. And then head straight back to one of the suites in the back. -Wesley.'

I set the note back down and decide if I should head to that club he's talking about. I know of the club, and it's fucking crazy inside. I've been to it twice with Candice when we thought that fake I.D's were cool.

I lock his apartment back up and head to my car. I have no idea what to expect from this but it's worth the shot to see if Wesley will talk to me.

When I get there, I slowly walk up and try to get inside, but the bouncer holds me back.

"If you're not on the list, go to the back of the line." He says and I look up at him, intimidated.

"Um.. I'm here with Wesley. He's waiting for me in the back." I say and he looks like he's thinking for a second, before he lets me through and inside.

I sigh once I get past him, and then there's the crowd in here. It's fucking ballistic. I make a b-line to the back, and I get felt up several times by the boys here, and whistled out as well and I feel so uncomfortable.

I let the bouncer guarding the suite know who I'm with and he lets me in. I walk down a long hallway and hesitantly head inside.

When I walk in, no one seems to care that someone has entered the room and it smell like pot and alcohol. Nothing but. And the smoke has clouded the room, the music a little loud but not as loud as it is in the club.

I walk around and I eventually see Drew and Wesley, on the couch and they're both smoking pot and Wesley seems high as fuck. I raise a hand to my mouth, and right as I do Wesley looks straight at me.

His jaw drops and he almost drops his cigarette, but he catches himself. I head towards the back entrance and he quickly follows me out.

"What the fuck is this, Wesley?" I say, holding back my tears.

"What the fuck are you doing here is the real question!"

"I wanted to talk to you!"

"Well I don't want to hear it! You cheated on me, so just leave me the fuck alone." He says and I just want to slap him.

"You just need to let me explain! I didn't want any of this to happen."

"Well it did!"

"I'm sorry!"

"No, you're not! How about you go and fuck Tanner!"

"His name is Thomas!"

"Then how about you go fuck Thomas!" He yells and I slap him.

"Fuck you!" I yell.

"No, go fuck him! I don't care, just go!"

"You know what?"

"What!"

"Maybe I will!"

"Good!"

"He'll probably fuck me better than you ever could!" I yell before I start to walk back into the club.

"You take that back." He snaps, and pins me against the wall with his hips and pins my wrists against the wall with his hands.

"No, now let me go."

He lets me leave and I'm surprised he didn't put up more of a fight. Guess he really doesn't care for me anymore.

When I get home, I call the only person I can think of.

"Hello?"

"Thomas." I choke out.

"What's wrong, Mel?"

"Please come over." I say and slide down the front door of my apartment, bringing my knees up to my chest.

"Okay, I'll be right there." He says and I hang up.

I get up and walk to my bedroom, falling to the floor in a heap of sobs before I can even make it to my bed.

20 minutes later, I hear the front door open. Thomas walks into my room soon after, I guess he could hear my sobs.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He says, dropping to the floor next to me.

I shake my head and he wraps his arms around me. I cry into his chest and he rubs my back, kissing my head a few times.

After awhile, he picks me up bridal style and carries me to my bed after I've calmed down.

"What happened?" He asks and I rest my hand on his chest as he lays down with me on my bed.

"I found Wesley at a club with my friend Drew and they were smoking pot and probably getting drunk... He followed me outside and we got in a huge argument. He wouldn't stop yelling at me, Thomas." I say and almost start crying again but as soon as his hand reaches over to push my hair back, I stop myself.

"I'm sorry, Melanie. This is all my fault." He says and I shake my head.

"Don't blame yourself..." I say and he gives me a small smile.

"It's true, though." He says and kisses my forehead.

"Thank you for being here for me." I say, deciding to change the subject.

"You're welcome. I hate to see you this way."

"I know, I wish he would just stop being so difficult."

"I know you do. But he caught you cheating on him."

"Thanks for the support." I say sarcastically.

"I don't mean it that way."

"I know." I say and bury my face in his neck and wrap my arms around him. He wraps his arms around me as well and we just lay like that for a little while.

"You two are fucking unbelievable." Wesley.

I move away from Thomas as fast as I can and look up to see Wesley in between the door frame.

"Wesley."

"Save it!" Wesley yells at me and I look to Thomas.

He stands up and my hearts stops as I think of what could go wrong.

"Will you just let her explain herself?" Thomas asks Wesley and I just want to cover my eyes.

"Fuck off." Wesley spits and I wince at the sight.

"No, just let her explain." Thomas says, crossing his arms.

"Fine, explain yourself." Wesley says, looking towards me.

"Alone?" I ask, looking towards Thomas and he nods and starts heading towards the door.

"No, he can stay." Wesley says, blocking the exit and I sigh. "Go ahead." Wesley looks straight at me.

"Okay.. Wes, my dad doesn't want us to be together anymore. He said that if I don't date Thomas, that I won't be aloud into NYU so soon. He took a easy route for me. He also said that if I didn't that he would stop paying for my apartment and my every day needs. He wouldn't let me change his mind. I'm so sorry." I say and Wesley looks like he's about to throw up.

"What." He chokes out.

"I'm sorry. But me and Thomas are fake dating. I'm not breaking up with you. That is, if you still want to be with me."

"It's true, man." Thomas says and I watch Wesley drop to the floor, and I get up quickly and rush over to him, taking him in my arms.

"I'm gonna go." Thomas mouths to me and I nod.

He heads out and once I hear the front door shut, I look down at Wesley.

"Wes, talk to me." I say and he looks at me with such sadness in his eyes.

"I thought your dad liked me? This isn't fair, Mel."

"I know.."

"I love you so much. I can't just let you go." He says and my heart shatters by his words.

"You're not gonna let me go. I'm not gonna give up on you and I promise we can be together."

"How?" His voice cracks.

"We can see each other behind my dad's back. He'll never know."

"Okay.. Yeah, we can. But what about Tony?"

"His name's Thomas." I laugh a bit. "And I don't know.. But it has to be believable that me and him are dating to my dad and his mom." I say and he nods.

"I'm so sorry for getting so pissed off at you like that." He apologizes and I give him a sad smile.

"It's okay, I'll always love you no matter how mad you are at me."

Before I know it, his lips attack mine and I sigh in relief. I've missed his kisses so much.

He pushes me back so I'm laying down on the carpet and he leads his lips down to my neck, kissing and sucking it gently.

"I wanna make love to you." He whispers, moving so he can look down at me.

My heart starts to race and I don't even have to hesitate as I nod.

"Then do it." I whisper back and he gives me the biggest smile, helping me up to my bed, and laying me down gently.

He hovers over me and kisses me gently, taking my clothes off one by one. I help him get his clothes off as well and he kisses me harder...

-

When I wake up the next morning, I try to move but I'm extremely sore. Last night was amazing to be honest.. I haven't had sex in over a year so it was very nice.

"Wes?" I call out but no one answers.

I turn over and Wesley's not in bed with me. I get up carefully and walk to the bathroom and anywhere I can think of but he's nowhere to be found.

When I walk back into my bedroom, I see a note on my dresser that I didn't notice before.

'Mel, I'm so sorry for leaving before you woke up and I know it makes me seem like an asshole, but I had to go to NYU to see if I can attend school there. Last night was amazing, I'll see you later. I love you. -Wesley.'

Well that explains it. But what if he's lying? What if he's just going to trade off more drugs?

Right after I put the note down, I hear my front door open and shut.

"Mel?" I hear him call and I get back under the covers quickly, pretending to be asleep.

A second later I feel the bed dip and an arm wrap around me. Wesley presses his lips against the back of my neck and I smile to myself.

"Mel, I know you're awake." He whispers in my ear and I laugh a bit and turn over to face him.

"I know." I say, and kiss his lips passionately.

"Last night was amazing." He whispers and I nod.

"It really was, I can hardly move." I say, and we both laugh.

"That means I did a good job."

"Yes, you did." I smile at him he cups my cheek with one of his hands.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"Almost 11."

"Oh shit." I cuss, and get up quickly, and go pick out clothes.

"What?" I see Wesley sit up in the mirror.

"I have to go to lunch with my dad, Thomas, and his mom." I say and start to head towards the shower.

"Ugh, really? You know, he's starting to get on my fucking nerves."

"I know, but I have to."

Wesley groans and I laugh to myself before walking to the bathroom and I take a shower quickly. I put on my clothes and get ready.

"I'll see you later, I love you." I say and kiss him quickly.

"I love you, too." He replies and I leave my apartment.
