Keeping It Stereotypical

CHAPTER NINETEEN

~~~

Déjà vu; sitting quietly in Bryce's car, staring at the window, admiring the city lights, nervously waiting for him to talk and he did.

"What happened back there? You are stained with wine, obviously crying, where's is that douche bag of a boyfriend?" I didn't bother to look at Bryce's direction, knowing fully well that I'd break down in tears, like the normal weak Melanie.

I don't want to be that Melanie anymore, I hate being weak.

"Can you just drop it." I want to have fun tonight, let loose for a while, be happy, that's why I called Bryce. He is weirdly my happiness.

To be honest that's a scary thing, I have tired to block those thoughts, feelings that keeps on surfacing, telling me that I could be happy with Bryce.

I could be me.

Then again, I have to remind my self that this is no movie, I'm no Cinderella, he's no prince charming, he cannot save me from my self, damn! I can't even save him from his self pity. Happiness isn't just for people like us.

"I got spare clothes like you asked for."I turned happily, not because of the spare clothes because he dropped it.

He knows when to stop.

He pointed at the back of the car, focusing on the road ahead.

"Thanks." I smiled, I slowly squeezed myself, making my attempt to move to the back.

"O-oh- yo-you." He never finished his sentence, I finally made it to the back, my butt hitting is arm, making my cheeks flare up, probably bright red.

"So-sorry." I muttered sheepishly.

"Oh it-its, it's." I laughed at his inability to finish his sentences.

"No looking." I smiled, informing him I'm changing at the back. I don't know where I got this courage from but it feels so good.

Never in a million years would regular Melanie, change at the back of a guy's car. I slowly let my zipper down, slowly removing my jumpsuit. My heart hammering trying to escape my chest. What if he looks back? What if he's disgusted by me? What if he thinks I'm ugly?.

Screw anxieties.

I took my clothes off, leaving me in my lacy bra and matching panties, I looked at the rearview mirror, I caught Bryce's eyes, he looks away immediately.

"Eyes on the road, perv." I couldn't help but smile, I wanted him to look back, I don't know why but I did.

I wanted him to look.

I finally put his big shirt over my neck, it's big enough, it's length make's it wearable, it's just above my knee.

I like it, it smells like him.

I'd just wear my heels on, making it look like I planed to dress this way.

"So where to?" Just hearing his voice, sends shiver down my spine.

"Jon Bellion's concert." I noticed the smile on his face.

The most beautiful thing ever.

~~~

"Oh oh, now you wanna run wild." I sang along as the song finally comes to an end.

"I'm so glad you guys came out, lots of love, thanks."With that Jon Bellion leaves the stage, making everyone shout, including me.

"Easy princess, we got backstage passes, we can go meet him." I turned, smiling at him.

"Let's go." I yelled as he lead me through the crowd to an unknown place, all I could think of is, I'm gonna meet Jon, this is crazy, so crazy.

Can't believe this is happening.

Each time Bryce turns, he sends me a smile before moving ahead, making me blush hard.

Oh lord! What's happening to me?

~~~~

"I can't believe this, I'm a huge fan." I squealed fan girling, I can't believe I'm standing next to a legend, an icon, a king.

"Thank you, Me.." Trying to remember my name, Jon Bellion is trying to remember my name, my name?

"Melanie." I muttered excitedly, as he smiles, his smile is so cute but not as amazing as Bryce.

"Melanie, I'd love to have you again together with your boyfriend." I turned to Bryce immediately, if you guessed, I was blushing hard.

I'm a mess.

"I, w-we, I me-mean." I breathed out in frustration at my inability to make a word with out stuttering. I turned to Jon who's smiling, looking at the both of us.

"We are not dating." Bryce finally said.

"What?" Jon laughed, I looked at Bryce confused.

"Now that's a lie." He laughed before walking away, leaving us in an awkward state, I bit my lips not knowing what to say.

"Well let's go." I breathed out in relief as he broke the silence.

That was awkward..

~~~~

"Wanna go home?" We have being walking for minutes now, we have even passed the car.

"No." Truthfully I don't want to ever go home.

Never.

"Hey, look." He pointed at a cafe. Well, there's no where else to go.

~~~~

I smiled when I read Sophia's text, I sent her a pic of me and Jon, since then she has been texting nonstop.

I'm so glad that we have started talking again.

I miss my best friend, I know it's going to take time to mend our relationship but I'd wait.

After all, I did destroy our relationship.

"What's so amusing?" I almost forgot that Bryce was there.

"Oh nothing, Sophia is just being a big baby about not meeting Jon." I laughed. I suddenly heard people clapping, I saw a girl coming down from the stage.

"Do we have any singers in the house tonight?" A man appears on the stage. I turned to my phone.

"We have." I let my head up immediately, when I heard Bryce's voice.

What is he up to?

I noticed he's pointing at me, making me panic. I glared at the fool I call my friend.

"What are you doing?" I managed to say through my gritted teeth, trying to let his hands down.

I'm gonna kill this guy.

"Come on up, lady." Spotlight on me, eyes on me.

Holy s**t.

"Melanie, her name's Melanie." Bryce yelled, grinning from ear to ear. Every one started chanting, I looked at the door of the cafe, so close yet so far.

Should I just bolt?

My heart beating so fast, Bryce gives me an encouraging smile.

Everything just fades away with his smile.

I have no idea how I found my self walking up to the stage, I held the microphone tight.

"I can't sing but Thinking out loud by Ed sheeran." I said nervously looking at the screen.

I know the lyrics but I just don't what to look at the crowd. The song finally came on, my nerves kicking in, so I looked for the only person that can calm my nerves.

Bryce.

I finally found these pair of blue eyes, he winked at me making me laugh.

"When your legs don't walk like they used to before," I sang looking at Bryce, he mouths "they ain't walking like they used to." Making me laugh again.

I can't explain my feelings for this guy.

"And I can't sweep you up off your feet ..." I continued.

~~~~

"That was amazing." He yells as we walk out of the cafe.

"Don't ever make me do that again" I tired to fake anger but I can't, I love this Melanie.

I'm back, I guess.
