Goddard's Home for Troubled Teens

Sharp

I finish and dress, leaving my shirt undone. Coming out, I kiss Mel quickly before plopping on the bed and letting her go about her business.

Mel

I smile and go into the bathroom, showering and changing into a lace nightgown that goes to my mid thighs and shows my bra and everything. Not caring, I walk back out and plop next to Sharp, cuddling into him.

Sharp

I smile and wrap my arms tight around her, sighing.

Mel

I smile back at him, closing my eyes.

Sharp

I close my eyes as well, sighing.

Mel

I fall asleep, tired.

Sharp

I fall asleep at the same time.

Mel

I wake without making any noise and go downstairs to get coffee, seeing Val in the process. She studies me and I hesitate before having and Idea and walking to her. "Hi," I say. She doesn't answer, "You two wrecked my relationship," She mutters.

I study her, "I'm sorry."

She nods, "It's fine. I wasn't suppost to be in love anyways. That's not what I came here for."

Sharp

I wake and find Mel gone. Yawning, I dress and head down for breakfast.

Ryder

I wake with a headache and walk back to my room, arms crossed.

Mel

I put on a fake smile and sigh, "Can we be friends?"

She nods, "Whatever."

I nod back and sigh, "What you did with Sharp was pretty brave," I tell her, getting my food.

She swallows, guilt coming to her as she does the same.

Sharp

I come across the kid stumbling through the halls and smirk, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and steering him towards his room.

"Get off of me," he growls, trying to push me away.

I spin him around and slam him into the wall, "You listen to me and you listen good, alright, kid?"

Mel

She doesn't speak and I glance at her, "What do you think Ryder thinks of you two?"

She just shrugs.

Sharp

The kid stares me defiantly back in the eyes, jaw tight.

"I want you to stay away from Mel and Val," I tell him.

"You have no right--"

"Shut up," I interrupt, slamming his head into the plaster.

Mel

"You slept with him," I chuckle, "Well did half of it."

She looks down and nods, "I guess."

I bite my lip, "Yeah..." I walk to the table.

Sharp

I keep him still, cupping his chin and making him look at me, "I just want you to know how good you almost had it. If you and your girl had just stayed out of things, you might of had the night I had with Val. God, was it great. Not like my Mel, no; but she served her purpose and I can't wait to do it again."

He breaks free and throws a punch to my nose. I chuckle and tackle him, not letting him win this time.
