Finding Me

Chapter 26

Melles POV

I open my mouth to say something but no sound comes out

"Oh I knew I shouldnt have said it"
Jiji cries uncontrollably,I still dont have anything to say so I put my arms round her and pull her into a tight hug
"Have you told him??"I ask quietly

"No"she says and continues to cry into my shoulder
"You know you have to tell him"she cries even more her sobs shaking my whole body.

"I am so happy for you"I say and clear my throat

"I know you arent happy"she say crying more

I look at her and remain silent

"Jiji stop crying what is done is done,you met him first,he loved you first"

"Melle you are just making it worse he didnt love me he truly loved you,anyone could see it......."

"No he didnt it was probably just a fling"I say

"Melle I saw how he talked to you"
Jiji says then her voice lowers"never the same for me......" She says sobbing loudly

"Jiji enough....m-maybe he did but now he doesnt" she looked up at me confused "He left the building Cause of me"she looked up at me wide eyed then started crying all over again.

"This is all my fault" she choked out

"No its not"I say

"Melle You know it is"

"You know what enough of this cry fest lets get some sleep"I say trying to avoid the topic

Jiji nods and faces the wall in her sleeping bag

I slip into mine and close my eyes and eventually fall asleep.

                             ***
Euuuuuuggggggggghhhhhhhh

I hear Jiji throwing up and I run to rub her back while she pukes

She cleans her mouth and sit on her bed

"Melle you dont have to take care of me"she says

"I want to"I say,she gives a small smile and closes her eyes and I go back to my sleeping bag

"How long has it been??"I ask

"Five months"

We sit in silence then we both fall into a thoughtful sleep.

                              ***
I wake up with a burning headache and see Jiji peacefully asleep I tiptoe out of the room and fall onto my bed

Im soo happy i dont have to go to work

I think about Miss Donelle again

Why does she want to see the letter so bad??

Well maybe its important

Should I give it to her??

I tiptoe over and pick the tattered diary on my desk I stare at the letter knowing what I should do

It might not work out for me but I have no choice

I put the letter back in the diary and turn around wanting to lie on my bed all day then I see Flynns letter by the cats,I run and pick it up and look at it for a long time

Well so much for lying in bed all day

I step into the shower and soothe myself with the cool water,I dry my hair and tie it up,I put on a blue and white Jersey with white jeans and grey sneakers,grab my purse and walk to the bus stop waiting for the bus to take me downtown.

***
I get down and look around wondering where to go then I pick Flynns letter

Isnt there like a thousand oil stores!!
Why didnt you live by a puppet store??

I sigh deeply and scratch my head frustrated

"Miss,are you alright??"

"No"

"How can I help you??"a boy with brown hair and Darkish skin asks

"Do you know Flynn Hadens??"

"No Ma'am"

"Ok can you show me your local oil store??"

"Right this way"he says bowing and stepping sideways

And here I.was thinking Chivalry is dead

***
"So whats your name"

"Melle,and yours?" I say walking by him to the oil store,by looking at him I can tell his in his early twenties

"Gale"he says

"So what are you looking for the oil store for??"he asks

"A good friend lives beside it"

He replies with a nod and we walk in silence

***
We reach the oil and he stops briefly

"Can I ask you on a date??"he asks nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"As much as Id love to.....I cant......I think Ive had one too many dates"

I give him a small apologetic smile and he bends and gives my hand a kiss

"See you later my sun kissed sweetheart"

I giggle then he runs off round the corner,for a moment he stops then looks around at me and winks before jumping up a wall and running off

Mysterious

I build up confidence and tuck the letter in my pocket,I walk up to a small blue building with black windows and a brown big door,I give a shaky knock

I wait

And

I wait

And

I wait

Then someone opens the door

"Flynn"
