Melanie's P.O.V

"So did you like him?" I ask my cousin Eve that's sitting right opposite me.

"Yeah, does he have a friend?" I start laughing at her question and so does she. It's been great having him around, although he could have given some notice but still he's cool, very funny or at least tries to be funny which only makes him funnier. I don't know what's happening to me, I know this guy for three months but all I seem to think about is him.

I know we've fallen out because of his stupid ex girlfriend, but even then I couldn't take him off of my mind. Maybe I shouldn't have took her words to heart as much and as easy, after all she is his ex, which would be obvious that she doesn't want him to have anything to do with a girl like me, a girl that doesn't exist to half of the people in our school.

I guess he made it up to me by kissing me in my bathroom, the way he said it as well "Your lips are softer" before kissing me. Thinking about it over and over again in my head makes it seem more and more sexier than it probably was, not that it wasn't sexy, it was!

But what if he doesn't like me? I am nothing but a normal girl, nothing but a no one, which I think isn't his style or type. The only girls I've seen him around was popular girls, so why should he change his mind all of a sudden? Change his mind because of me, a stupid girl that's secretly in love with the popular guy from our school, in love with the captain of the football team?

Maybe- maybe he kissed me just because it felt right at the moment, now he's probably thinking of ways how to tell me it was a mistake and forget about it all, it wouldn't be a surprise at all, I'd expect him to do that actually. But how can I forget? He's all I'm thinking about, the person I want to see the most, but to him I'm probably just a study tutor, so I should probably forget.

"It's getting late, we should probably get some sleep" I look at the time that read 00.25 in the morning, Eve just nods and pulls my duvet over her shoulders, laying down under my feet. I let out a yawn and turn my lamp off as I pull the duvet over my waist making the duvet slide down from Eve's shoulder to her waist as well. Eve decided to sleep over at ours since it's Sunday tomorrow and the weather should be nice, so we might go to the park or something. Soon I drift of to sleep without even knowing.

I wake up at two in the morning, I couldn't be able to sleep for some reason and all thanks to a certain someone that's always on my mind. Wow cheesy much? But can't say it's a lie. I go downstairs to the kitchen and pour myself some orange juice. I sit on the red stool underneath our kitchen counter and hear footsteps going down the stairs, I look up and see Eve standing in the doorway with her arms crossed in front.

"Couldn't sleep?" she quietly asks not wanting to wake my parents up. I nod to her question and hold up my glass of orange juice, asking her whether she wants some as well, which she shakes her head to, "I'll make us some hot chocolate with marshmallows instead, like old times."

"I could really use a cup of hot chocolate actually" I smile at her, talking with a soft voice. After she makes the hot chocolates she sits down on a red stool opposite me and starts blowing into her mug to cool it down before taking a sip. "So why can't you sleep?" she curiously asks me and I just shrug not wanting to give too much away.

"It's that boy, right?" a small smirk appears on her face making me blush, "Dylan? Yup." I honestly say after she seen my blush turn into a hot pink colour, there's not denying or hiding it now.

"I know the feeling" she sympathises but I pull my shocked expression, the one where I drop my jaw right down forming an 'o' shape.

"You do?" I ask in surprise, "Of course I do, we haven't been in touch for like two years, so you obviously wouldn't know but yeah, it happened, I was in love too" she softly says looking into her cup of hot chocolate, I mean I don't think I'm that close to love yet but okay, I let her finish her story.

"I know, you're surprised and probably think that I never had a real relationship simply because I was friends with those guys, but I did have a relationship, a really nice one I have to say. I lost my virginity with him and surprisingly I don't regret any of it. But he was a major dick, not going to lie" she giggles at the end making me laugh harder than expected.

She puts her index finger over her lips telling me to shush otherwise we'll wake my parents up and we don't wanna live through world war three. I manage to calm myself down and give her a smile before taking a sip of my hot chocolate. I had no idea she had a boyfriend before and that she already lost her v-card. I feel really bad for not talking to her all these years now.

"I'm sorry... I wasn't there for you, I should have been" I say with regret in my voice, "It's okay, we made our mistakes, it's time we learn from them now, I'm pretty sure I missed a lot of things that I should have been there for you too, and theres nothing we can do about that now, but at least we've got each other now, so hey cheer up because I'm not letting anyone fuck with you" she had me all emotional until she said the last part, she's never serious, but I love her.

I can't believe she's my younger cousin, I feel like it's the other way around, but maybe it's just because she experienced way more than I did, all I ever experienced was probably school, something she's not familiar with.

"I've changed Mel, believe me. I'm not as stupid as I once was" she concludes her emotional speech making me go up to her and give her a heart-warming hug, "I know" I let go of her and we both drink the remains of our hot chocolates and then go back to sleep.
