Melanie
I felt so done walking into my room. I need to keep myself together.
" I think I'll just blow up a mattress, that way I can sleep here with you," Arlen said abruptly. I quickly shot him a look and he caught my glance. He had a room here, anytime he had slept over he slept there. I don't even know what to think. I swallowed. Keep it together. On cue, as if he could read my mind Arlen looked straight at me and said " Mel, you're doing it, " huh???" Doing what?" I responded. " Acting." he continued " Acting like everything is fine, like you haven't..., " I cut him off saying " Everything is fine" It is... " What did he say to you? What did he whisper to you, when we got off," Arlen shot me this glance a worried glance, Like he cared, like he cared for me and needed to know I was okay. I swallowed again trying to keep myself together, my mom always taught us how to keep our emotions in check and that " pretty rich girls like us don't cry" Arlen looked at me like he could see right through me, he always could. " Mel?" he said brushing my hair out of my face. That look on his face. I gave up and I let myself sob into his arms.
