CHAPTER 19
“Mel, it’s up to you. Would you like to go with him or me?” Axel asked, staring directly at Ace.
Melanie stared at him, her eyes moving to his hand which was holding hers.
She opened her mouth to say something when…
“Melanie!” Lauren called, rushing to the scene
Axel let go of her hand slowly before walking to his car, he slid inside and the car drove off immediately.
Melanie watched as the car drove out of sight before facing Lauren.
“Lauren,” she smiled shortly.
“Melanie, can we have a little chat?” Ace asked.
That was when Melanie realized he was still holding her hand. She threw a dirty look at him before yanking her hand away from his.
“Stay away from me” she glared.
“Are you that dumb to read the handwriting on the wall? It’s clear you already lost your chance with her, so fk off!” Lauren threw an angry stare at him. She held Melanie’s hand and dragged her away.
Ace sighed. He ruffled his hair hard before walking away.

“What was he doing there?” Lauren asked Melanie. They were at the bus station, waiting for the next bus.
“To win me back, but it ain’t happening. I hate him so much now” Melanie said.
Lauren stared at her.
“Why does that feel like a lie?” She asked.
“You still love him, don’t you?”
Melanie sighed and started playing with her fingers.
“He’s my first love, he was my first in everything. It’s not easy to stop loving him” she mumbled.
Lauren smiled and wrapped her arms around her shoulder.
“I understand you, Melanie. The fact that he cheated on you with Paisley must have really hurt a lot, I still get mad whenever I think about it”
“Can you please do me a favor by not mentioning her name anymore?” Melanie said.
Lauren sighed before nodding slowly.
“Just know I’m here for you, okay?”
Melanie smiled.
The bus arrived and they both entered, taking a seat by the window.
Melanie rested her head on the window, thinking about Paisley.

“What are you doing?” Melanie asked, coming out of the bathroom.
Paisley quickly hid her phone behind her back and let out a smile.
“Nothing,” she said.
Melanie wiggled a brow teasingly before going closer to her.
“Nothing? That’s a lie, you’re chatting with a guy, right?”
Paisley smiled widely.
“Well, you’re right. My boyfriend” she said.
“Your what?!” Melanie screamed, wide-eyed.
“Keep your voice low, Mel” Paisley cautioned.
“You have a boyfriend and I wasn’t aware of it?” Melanie frowned.
“We just started dating so I kept it as a secret”
“A secret from me, your best friend? That’s unfair, Paisley. The very first day I started dating Ace, you were the first person I told about it.
I literally tell you everything that’s going on in my life, but you love keeping yours from me, that’s not fair” Melanie sat on the bed and folded her arms across her chest.
Paisley grinned and shifted closer to her.
“Sorry, huh? Melanie,” she shakes her body.
Melanie scoffed, not smiling a bit.
Paisley smiled mischievously. She set her hands on Melanie’s body and started tickling her.
“Stop! Stop! Pais!” Melanie yelled, laughing her heart out loud.
Paisley stopped and Melanie pulled her to a hug.
“You know I can’t get mad at you, huh?”
“Sure” Paisley smiled.
“So, tell me. Who’s the guy? I mean, your boyfriend” Melanie asked.
