Problems

Mattie's P.O.V

Melanie.

The name I never wanted to hear again.

Why would she come back? What did she want? All this thoughts scrambled through my mind as Ian got up. "I'll be right back." He said his eyes locked on Melanie. I was scared and worried. Does he still want her? Am I just a joke to him? I wanted to cry but I knew I had to stay strong. Anthony came over to Ian's seat and sat down. "Are you okay?" He whispered into my ear. Why is everyone whispering today? I guess it doesn't matter right now. I didn't want to tell Jarreau knowing he would get pissed that Ian went to see Melanie. And telling Sawyer would mean a shit ton of drama later. I guess Anthony was my only hope. "Can we talk in private?" I asked him. He nodded as we got up. "We'll be right back stay here." I said putting on a fake smile. Sawyer and Jarreau just nodded and said okay as we began walking towards the main door. We entered outside. A cool breeze hit me as we walked further away so no one would hear, it was nice out, not too hot and not too cold. We were now on the streets just walking down the sidewalk. "What's wrong?" He asked me. My stomach started to turn upside down. I hope that wasn't the feeling of throwing up. "Ian" I started. Tears were forcing themselves down my face. "And Melanie, he saw her and." I tried to say but couldn't finish, the tears were flowing down my face and I didn't know why, I thought I was stronger than this. We stopped walking as Anthony grabbed my wrist turning myself towards him. "Hey it's okay, don't cry please." He said with a hopeful expression. For some reason that gave me the strength to calm down, and to not cry, to be strong.

I sighed as I kept talking. "Ian saw Melanie at VidCon and he went to go see her, he left me with you guys" I said holding back more tears that wanted to be let go. Anthony looked at me with a saddened expression plastered on his face. I let out a couple of tears but he put his hand on my cheek and whipped then away with his thumb. "It's okay, I'm always here for you." He said pulling me into a hug. The sudden movement sent shivers down my spine. I hugged back taking in his scent, it smelled like it was a big name brand one but I couldn't make out which, it smelled really good though. I could stayed in his arm forever. He was so nice, I was glad he cared for me. I suddenly pulled away as I heard a voice ring through my ears. "What the fuck do you think your doing?" She asked anger in her tone. I looked away from Anthony and saw Kalel. And wow if looks could kill id be dead on the ground right now. She walked up to me pulling me away from Anthony. She glared at me as I glared at her. It was literally a stare down until Kalel swung her fist at me. It hit me right in the mouth which made blood spill out. She had busted my lip, really bad. I looked at her as she tried to make another move but my lacrosse skills kicked in as I quickly dodged it and she fell to the ground. I wasn't going to punch her back or anything. She didn't deserve my satisfaction. Anthony walked over to me shocked by the sudden scene. He looked at my face and let me tell you his eyes could have popped right out of his head when he saw my mouth. "Holy shit your bleeding bad." He said anger filling his tone. "Kalel." He said gritting his teeth. She was just getting up, brushing off her dress as Anthony walked up to her. I didn't want to eaves drop but I kind of did. "Kalel what the hell why would you do that?" Anthony whisper-yelled. Kalel looked angry as ever as she replied. "Don't you see she going to take you away from me I know you have something for her!" She retorted. Anthony just looked at her hurt and angry. "I thought we had something but I guess we don't, I'm sorry were over." He said on the verge of tears. Kalel just smacked him in the face and looked at me. She looked like she was going to attack me again until Anthony grabbed her wrist. "Go away." He said letting go and walking towards me. He grabbed my hand intertwining it with his. I don't know what I was even feeling right now I'm just so flustered. I held onto his hand taking it as a friendly gesture. Anthony couldn't have feelings for me right? Wow I question myself too much. "Shit I have a panel and I can't go back looking like this!" I said pointing to my swelling up mouth. He just looked at me pondering what to do. "Go back to the hotel I'll tell people you got sick and needed to go back." He said reassuringly. I looked at him un sure about this idea, I went with it though seeing it's the only one we had. "Alright I guess I'll find a way to clean this up at the hotel." I said looking for a cab. "If you want I can come and help you." He suggested. "No you need to get to a meetup don't worry about me." I said smiling which probably looked really weird. "My meet ups not until another hour, come on let's go." He said pulling towards a cab I had just flagged down. He opened the door for me and I got it, he followed close behind. "Where to?" The cab driver asked. Anthony told him the location and the cab driver started to drive. Anthony was still holding onto my hand which made me feel better, I was glad he was here for me.
