Chapter 40
**** UNKNOWN PERSON P. O. V ****
“Do you know what drives me crazy? Watching them smile! Seeing him Happy!” When I screamed, he sighed.
“Can you please calm down? We will make it through this. We need to do this. For him to be happy, and then all of a sudden, he breaks and falls apart.” He said and I nodded.
“It’s just that it hurts me to see him laugh when I’m still here crying over my parents’ graves.” I said bowing my head.
“You’re not the only one who feels bad. Little sister, I’m also sad. And I know we shouldn’t be anonymous here, but it’s to keep us safe from that Monster.”
“We will make him pay. I promise you.” He said something, and I went to him and gave him a tight hug.
“Right now, you’re the only one I have. I can’t let you be in danger.” He said it, and I nodded my head at him.
When my phone rang out of the blue, I grabbed it. I saw it was Lisa .
# Got something for me?
# Good news, and bad news.
She said, “Put it on speaker,” and I did.
# First, the good.
# The Emersons are having a get-together.
# For?? How do you know that?
# Not much of anything. I think they do it to show the people how happy they are. I was doing what I do best at my window when I heard Ryan yell, “Let’s get the party started!” Happily.
#And what’s the bad news?
# How to get in without a pass. We have no way of getting in.
# Does everyone have to be invited?
# Yes, I heard it. I think they’re doing this to keep themselves safe. They are aware that it can be dangerous to let anyone in.
# You can then come in.
# Welcome! How?
# Let’s meet up.
I said and hung up.
“How are you going to do it? Don’t say you’re coming out of hiding.” I shook my head when he said that.
“Of course not. Don’t worry, I’ll still be on the cover. I just need Lisa to do something good for them on Neighbor.” I said grinning.
**** JASON P. O. V ****
After I talked to mother, I walked to the room. She left, and Ryan was kind enough to walk her to the door.
Melina was sitting on the bed when I got to the room. She seemed to be thinking a lot, which bothered me a lot.
“Melina.” I called her, and when she turned to look at me, she was breathing hard and acting scared.
“Did I startle you?” When I asked, she smiled and shook her head.
“Absolutely not. Was just…”
“Thinking.” I said stopping her.
“Yeah. Thinking.” She said something, and I walked over to her and sat down on the bed next to her.
“What do you have on your mind?” I asked, and she held my hand while shaking her head.
“It doesn’t matter, Jason.” She spoke.
“Are you sure? You should know that I don’t like to see you like this. It hurts me to see you like this, and you can’t even tell me why.” She smiled when I said it.
“I know. Just that, I thought about Harrison.” I sighed when she said it.
“Did you talk to him? Since you returned? When I asked, she said yes.
“I did text him, but he didn’t answer back. I texted him to say I was sorry.” She said sadly.
“You might want to give him some space and time. When you left the first time, I didn’t feel like myself for days. Ryan tried to cheer me up, but I wouldn’t listen. So I do know how heartbroken and hurt Harrison must be right now. You just have to give him time to get rid of everything.” I told her, and she smiled and nodded.
“Many thanks, Jason. I needed that right now.” She said it, and as I looked at her lips, I nodded.
“Oh, my mom is having a party.” I said, “Take your eyes off her lips and look at her face.”
“Really? Why?” She asked with a smile.
“She is happy about us, and throwing a party is the only way she could think of to show it.” She laughed at what I said.
“That’s wonderful, but…” She said something, and her mood changed.
“But what if the enemy gets inside? And try to make trouble?” When I asked, she said yes.
“It’s by invitation only. So no enemies would come unless we gave them an invitation, which would never happen. She smiled when I said it.
“That’s good news.” She said laughing.
“That’s right.” I said bowing my head.
“Jason are you okay? You know you can talk to me, right?” I said yes when she asked.
“I know. I want to ask you a question because of this. “I want you to tell me the truth.” I said something, and she nodded and listened carefully.
“Yes. I will, no matter what.” She said, and I let out a loud breath.
“Do you always remember the bad things I’ve done to you whenever I touch you?” I still had my head down when I asked.
She called out, “Jason.”
“Tell me what I want to know, Melina. I just want to know what you think and feel when I touch you.” I said something, and she took my hand and raised my head.
“I’m happy and in love with Jason. Because of what you did to me, you shouldn’t be afraid to touch me. After everything that happened, I chose to be here with you. You’re no longer that person.” She said it, and I was glad.
“Are you serious?” When I asked, she said yes.
“Jason I love you. I love you with all my heart, I’m crazy about you, and I can’t live without you. You shouldn’t worry about how touching me makes me feel.
“You should be worried about how you would handle things when I can’t go a day without kissing you.” I laughed at what she said.
“Sometimes I feel like I’m in a dream. Like none of this is real. Because it seems too good to be true, especially with me.” I said.
“This is real, Jason. You are you, and I am me. Stop thinking of yourself as someone who doesn’t deserve to be happy. You should be happy too.” She said standing up.
I asked, “Where are you going?”
“To get into the shower.” She said that she was throwing her clothes away right then. I swallowed hard and turned away as she took off her clothes.
“Do you plan to come?” She asked, and I had to look back at her.
“Ahh… I think I’d be fine here.” She laughed at what I said.
“I knew you weren’t going to move.” She told me to pull myself up. She grabbed my shirt and started to take it off.
“I…” I started, but she stopped me by giving me a kiss. I saw online that it was more like a French kiss.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Stop trying to escape my body. It’s not making things better. It makes me want it more, which makes you want it more.” She said it, and I choked again.
“So, you know, we’re going to…” I said with my eyes shut.
“Of course not. We’re going to take a shower right now. Just a shower, all right? She asked, and I quickly said yes.
“Yes! “Only a shower. I said, “Smiling,” and when I saw her bare b*tches, the idea that she had just taken a shower started to fade.
But I knew I had to keep myself in check because I couldn’t do anything against her will again.
“Should I go for the belt, or should you go for it?” She said to throw out the shirt for good.
“I will do it myself. You need to get going. I’ll follow you right behind.” I said, “Smiling,” and she nodded as she went naked into the bathroom.
I just looked at her for a few minutes before I woke up. Just looking at her body was giving me a hard time.
“How will I get along with her in there? Oh, God, help me!” I quietly said a prayer.
