Forever & Always (The Gangleaders Weakness)

Chapter 22. To The Death

Andy P.O.V.
Ok, it seems kind of ridiculous that I am in the grasp of Melanie's psychotic mom,with a pistol to my heart but let's face it....the bitch is smart. Now here I am. With a gun to my chest trying to distract this woman and let Mel get away with her life, but like always life just chooses to not cooperate with you.
"I'll kill her even if it's the last thing I do."
"That-" I am cut off when Melanie comes tumbling into the living room, and stops when she sees her mothers ratty,mop of hair. Her eyes hold nothing but pure terror and all of us try and signal for her to get the fuck out of here, but when she sees our position I can almost see her head pounding with anger. Her electric green eyes turn dark and her face becomes hard and she looks absolutely ruthless. Still incredibly hot, but ruthless. Melanie gives her mother-the one with a gun- a firm tap on her shoulder after she  laughs evilly and says something else I can't quite make out because I am too focused on Mel. Her mom spins around in a flash, and seems shocked that Melanie dared to come face to face with her. They stare at each other for a couple of minutes before Melanie speaks.
"Wasn't expecting to see you so soon."
"Melanie Grace, what a pleasure." They have the same dark expression and it's a scary one. They are both around the same height and they circle around one another, never breaking eye contact.
"Allison." Melanie states. They stand incredibly close, her mother points her gun at Melanie and I try to make my move. Allison cocks her gun and points it at Mel's head, I freeze.
"Listen pretty-boy, you make one move and I'll blow your lovers pretty little face off." Her eyes switch between Mel and I incredibly fast until I take a step back and put my hands up in surrender. Melanie takes a step forward with her nostrils flaring, her jaw and knuckles clenched.
"Don't you dare threaten him!" She snarls out.
"Who do you think you're talking to you good-for-nothing piece of shit!?"
"I'm talking to you."
"Who?"
"YOU!" The next thing you know, Melanie is on the floor. Her face hides behind her hair and her back is twisted away from me. Allison sits on Melanie's torso and grabs her by her shirt. Melanie's lip is swollen and cut. Allison sets the gun by Melanie's foot, never breaking their intense staring.
"You're coming home with me and your father missy." Melanie spits on Allison's face, the spit dyed a deep red. Allison goes to punch Melanie, but she catches her fist and head butts her. You can hear the impact as Allison shoots of Mel's lap and lands hard on her back, she reaches for the pistol on the floor but Melanie kicks it under the black couch. Allison growls in frustration as she tries to get the gun but her hand can't fit in the small space between the floor and the back of the couch. Once Melanie recovers, she gets up and walks to Allison slowly. Once she is behind her she bends her knees and grabs her by her hair. I get a perfect view of Mel's butt before she stands up, her mother screaming in pain.
"Now mother, using weapons is cheating."
"Let me go you fucking bitch!"
"As you wish." Melanie lets go and her mother falls to the ground, she grabs Mel's feet and cuts off her balance. Melanie joins her mother on the ground where the real fight begins. Hard punches are thrown, and they both seem unwilling to stop until one of them drops down to the ground dead. The fight continues, while I try to find a way to release the guys so we can stop them. Allison is on all fours, out of breath while Melanie is walking toward her. In one swift movement Allison gets  kicked in the face....hard. She falls down groaning in pain. She looks up with one bruised eye and glares at Melanie. She gets up and tackles her to the ground I seize my movements and watch and hope that Melanie gets back onto her feet. They flip and roll multiple times before they are back on two legs, Melanie jumps behind her mother and stomps on the back of her legs. She falls onto her knees, screaming intensely. She grabs Mel's ankles and trips her, Mel lands hard on her back and Allison once again occupies her torso. The sound of ripping is heard, I am confused until Mel punches Allison in the face and gets back up for the hundredth time. If this weren't happening, Mel would pinned against the wall with me inside of her. The front of her t-shirt is torn open, her stomach and black lace bra is exposed and I have to make sure the guys aren't looking. When I glance at them the mouths might as well have been watering. I growl and they turn back to their rope clothed wrist, pretending they were focused on that the entire time. I turn my attention back on Melanie and see that she somehow is wrapped around her mom's back. Her arms are choking her mother while her legs hold an iron grip around her waist, Allison slams Mel's back into the wall but Melanie does exactly what she did in the hallway. She  unwraps her legs and puts them against the wall, and when she gets a firm grip she and Allison go rocketing down to the ground a loud thump. They both scream before absolute silence, I start thinking they were both knocked out until Mel rolls off of Allison's back. She breathes heavily and not to mention the front of her shirt is still ripped. Her stomach moves up and down rapidly, I begin to worry when I see her slightly misplaced ribs poking out of her stomach. Her innie belly button settled between her waist bone while her small chest is spending up and down. I slowly walk to her trying my best to ignore the bulge in my pants that is begging to get released. She sits up when I am in front of her and stares at me for about five seconds before she launches herself into my arms.
"Andy!" She buries her head in chest as I hold her back, both of us balance on our knees as we embrace each other. I feel her heart pounding and feel it racing dramatically in her chest.
"Melanie don't ever do that again."
"You would've gotten hurt, what did you expect me to do?"
"Not that."
"What exactly?" She pulls her head away from my chest and looks me in the eye, they are back to their normal color but I can still see panic in them.
"I would expect you to run."
"And leave you guys here to die!?"
"I don't care about me I-"
"Well I do!" Silence.... Melanie gives me an intense look, it's the look that always gets me in the heart. The feeling that she is looking right through me, we are in a whole different dimension but we are still sitting right here.
"Andy, this isn't going to work out."
"W-what!?" My heart drops to my stomach
"No, I'm not breaking up with you!" I take in a deep breath of relief, feeling no shame of my panicked state.
"Then?"
"I am saying that it isn't going to work out if we couldn't care less about ourselves and more about one another's safety, let's face it....we care more about each other than we do ourselves." I nod my head in agreement.
"It's better if we stick together whenever situations like this come crashing down because we are never going to leave each other to die no matter how much one of us wants us to save ourselves, it's just not going to happen."
"That's true, but I can't risk-"
"Did you not just hear what I said!?" Her expression is angry and it's pretty intimidating and damn scary. I gulp before nodding my head.
"I can't leave you to die no matter what happens Andy, I just....." She trails off mid-sentence and her face turns hot and red.
"You just what, Melanie?"
"I-I...." Her whole body shakes under my arms and her heart pounds violently in her chest.
"Melanie." Her eyes meet mine and I see all of her insecurities that scar her, they make her afraid to be in love and ever be loved. I hold her face and press our lips together softly, I kiss her cut lip gently and she responds just as gently. I pull away and lean our foreheads together, our eyes meet again and this time I see determination in her eyes.
"You what Melanie?" I say softly.
"Andy, I... I can't leave you because... I love you too much."
