The Lost Boys
Who are you?
"Seriously Mel, that's nothing to just ignore and it goes away. You need to get that checked." The voice snaps me out of my train of thoughts.
I'm sitting in a car and we are driving or more queuing through the rainy evening New York rush hour traffic. My head leans against the cool passenger window and I am tired as hell.
Switching isn't that painful anymore, I still have this tugging feeling when I change 'sides' but it doesn't fell like my heart is going to be ripped out of my chest, I guess I am getting used to it.
I look over to the driver, he is looking out on the street and concentrates on the stop and go. He has a tanned skin and long brown wavy hair that sticks out from under his backwards turned snapback.
A little silver ring shines in his nose. He is really cute and attractive and I rack my brain for a memory with the two of us. I don't really think when I ask him. "Vic. Right?"
He looks over for a moment. "Yeah?"
He is about to look back on the street when his eyes go wide in shock and realisation. He slams the brakes and we come to a halt in the middle of the road and I hear cars behind us starting to honk.
He completely ignores it and turns me around holding my arm to make me look at him.
"Did you just check my name? Mel! You were forgetting the name of your best friend! This scares the shit out of me. I swear if you don't go and see a doctor tomorrow I will drag you to the hospital no matter what, I am not gonna sit and watch you fall to pieces. Fuck! Mel! Doesn't that scare you?"
That's when I lose it. I start screaming at him although I know it's not his fault. "Yes. YES. It fucking scares me shitless Vic. What do you think! Do you believe I find it funny being tossed around between memories or whatever you wanna call it, losing your friends and the people you love because you can't remember. DO YOU THINK THATS FUNNY? REALLY VIC?"
He looks at me in shock, I think it is because of my outburst but then he reaches out and touches my face and whispers.
"Mel, your nose is bleeding."Notes
Sorry this is short but I am already on the next chapter. So please comment and let me know you're still there and what you think about it. Luv y'all. :))
Awww, I'm glad to hear that. That was my point with leaving it. <3
And I totally understand. I admire you for finishing it, really, and having the will to do so and just considering how the readers might feel if it wasn't. I'm glad you did wrap it up; like I said, while there were some things I wondered about, it was still a good ending by letting us know essentially what was going on and letting us know what ended up happening to Mel.
So no worries. :)
