Love Lies: Chapter Three
Read and comment! Oh and pic. is of Lucas...
Oh and picture is of Lucas!!
I sat on the cold tile floor resting my head against the window...looking out of it I saw Lucas passing in-front of my house door, it looked as If he was trying to make a decision...
I looked in mirror and saw my reflection, I looked like crap! Black eyeliner was all over my face and my lip gloss was all gone thanks to my tears. I looked through the cabinet looking for my make-up kit to only find my razor. And no I wasn't going to cut myself...I never had before in my life. I almost did once after my dad died but was too scared to worry my sister and mother they deserved better.
Finally I found it and reapplied everything making myself look somewhat human. I took one quick breath and headed out for school. As soon as I closed the front door behind me I felt the summer heat crawl up my neck. Normally I would ride with him to school but that car didn't look as welcoming as it once did were many memories were made. So instead I headed to the sidewalk, I mean school wasn't that far away...maybe twenty minutes.
Lucas ran after me because I could feel his steady breath as he reached me.
"Melanie please we have to talk".
"No". I was surprised my voice didn't quiver.
I took a shortcut to school that passed through the old church. While I was there I decided to visit my father, Next to his tomb was a picture of him on a beach in Hawaii. His face was radiant and his smile was reaching each end of his face with his eyes twinkling their lovely blue ocean color.
I got everything from him except my hair was a blondish brown color, and I was taller than most of my family reaching 5'9. My eyes were also a mix between green and blue making a strange glow. On his tomb was the engraving from a quote that I had made the day he died. Tear welled up in my eyes as I read out loud the quote.
"A million words would not bring you back, I know because I tried, neither would a million tears, I know because I cried".
Lucas came up to me and whipped the tear away with a kiss. I stood still before smiling slightly. What am I going to do?
"Mel I'm so sorry. I would never ask for your forgiveness cause it is too much to ask, but please don't leave me I need you in my life as a friends, sister or girlfriend...please".
"I'm sorry Lucas I need to think now...I'm a bit confused and don't want to do anything I might regret".
He tried to smile but I knew him. He was trying too hard. I walked up to him and kissed him slightly on the lips. I wouldn't try to deny it I loved him!
"You know Lucas love is like heaven but it can really hurt like hell".
"Ya Mel, I know...but sometimes it's worth it".
I wasn't going to ask him if he meant Marie or me but I wasn't going to ask. So I decided to walk off, I was already late for school. This time Lucas didn't chase me and for this I was glad. I got to school in time for 1st period. My best friend Paula was already sitting down with a small smile on her face. Of course Marie would tell everyone.
I sat down and waited for the long class I had ahead of me. After explaining three times what happened she settled down and said that for sure that the club would have hottie's. I just smiled at her knowing she already had a plan.
After school Marie walked up to me...
"Hey I'm so sorry you figured out this way...you know you just weren't what he wanted.... physically"! She stretched out the last word making it obvious. Thank god that tonight I would go to the club and forget all of today...if only I could get to my locker...
"Ya I'm so happy for you...but I do have a question...did you end up finding the little thing he calls his manly hood because his mom told me that when he was born she thought he was a girl...There was no evidence...do you understand what I mean".
Everyone started laughing but by the looks of her glare she was on the verge of exploding. Good. I wanted to leave now...Oh there was Paula with the group...when I found the chance I dashed for it leaving her with her mouth open. Before going to the club later that night I sat down on my bed to write...Paula got a job there too and the whole group was going tonight to celebrate..a couple drink (beers only, I don't get drunk) three dances and maybe a few make outs...who knew?
When I was ten my dad got me a huge empty book called 'Always'. Whenever I had thoughts I wanted to share Id write them down...if it was not entries it was quotes...that was something my dad and I always shared...writing.
The new blank page would now be filled with writing...before getting my bag and heading out the door I looked at my new quote and smiled.
"Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met"!
