Life as the Actor's Daughter

Chapter 12

The paramedics came and got Travis a few minutes later that day. Turns out he had a drug overdose and if I didn’t come by he probably would have died out there. I shut my locker and started to walk down the hallway to leave the school it is Monday and school just ended. I took peoples crap all day about Travis and I even stood up for him. Most of the crap was from Anastasia and her boyfriend Jason. I waited until most of the students were gone before I came out of the ladies room because I didn’t want to hear anymore of it from them. I went out the front doors; there was Jesse and Caleb making out on the bench out front. I guess Jesse was waiting for me to come out. I stood there and watched as they passionately made out and put their hands all over each other’s bodies. Man I need to walk in on them one time and film that. It just makes you go wow and awe. I took out my camera phone and took a few pictures. This would look good on myspace.

“Wow you guys are making it hotter out here.” I replied.

They both pulled away and looked at me. Jesse had the biggest smile on his face.

“Hey Melanie, thank you for saving Travis.” Replied Caleb.

“Yeah no problem, wait why would you care?” I asked.

“He’s my foster brother, since he was 10 years old and I was 9.” He replied.

“So he lives with you?” I asked.

“Yes…” he said.

“I have a question. I haven’t asked him but I was just curious. The dress he gave me to wear to prom where did he get it and why did he have it?” I asked extremely curious.

“He had bought it before for another girl, but she was unable to go to prom.” He said.

“So I was just a rebound?” I asked angry because I actually really like Travis a little.

“No Melanie its not like that. If you want to know more about the girl your going to have to talk to him because its his place to say not mine.” Caleb said.

“I understand. Do you think he will tell me if I ask?” I asked.

“I don’t know it’s a really hard topic for him.” he said.

While we were talking Jesse was kissing Caleb’s neck and I didn’t notice until just now. Can he keep his hands off him for a few minutes? I laughed to myself.

“Do you guys want to go see Travis?” I asked.

“He should be home now.” Replied Caleb.

“Really, can we go to your place?” I asked.

“Sure.” He replied.

“Hi mom.” Caleb said as we all walked in.

His mom just came around the corner.

“Why hello there.” She said surprised to see two extra people.

“Mom this is Melanie Cooper and you already met Jesse once.” He said.

“Hi Melanie.” She said reaching out her hand.

I took her hand and shook it.

“Nice to meet you….” I replied not finishing, because I just realized I didn’t know his last name.

“Mrs. D’Costa.” She replied.

“Melanie came to see Travis, she’s the one that found him and called 911.” Caleb said.

Jesse wasn’t being much of a talker. I don’t think I have ever seen him this shy around anyone.

“Ok he is up in his room resting.” She said.

We all three went up stairs. Caleb showed me which room was Travis’.

“We will be in my room so um knock before you enter.” Caleb said.

“Where is your room?” I asked.

“Right there.” He said pointing two doors down.

Jesse and Caleb went into Caleb’s room and shut the door. I stood at Travis’ door shaking. I was nervous and I didn’t know why. I have done interviews before in front of cameras why am I nervous to talk to Travis? I knocked on the door.

“Come in.” I heard him say.

I turned the knob and went in.

“Mel, what are you doing here?” he asked shocked.

“I came to see how you were and to ask you some things. Is that ok?” I asked while shutting the door.

“Yeah that’s fine what did you want to ask.” He replied.

“Well how are you feeling?” I asked.

“A little better and thank you for helping me.” he said.

“No problem. Why did you overdose in the first place?” I asked.

“Well its kind of hard to say.” He replied.

I went over and sat down on the bed next to him.

“You can tell me. I wont judge you.” I replied.

He sat up, reached over, took a note off his nightstand, and handed it to me.

“Before you open and read that. My father murdered my mother right in front of me and shot me first before shooting my mother. Then he drove off, ran a red light, and killed your mom. I am sorry for my fathers actions.” He replied while his eyes started to water up.

I looked at him in shock. I couldn’t believe that his father shot him and his mom. I couldn’t believe that his father is the one that killed my mom. My eyes started to fill up but I stopped them.

“You don’t believe me do you?” he asked.

“About what?” I asked.

“About him shooting me and my mom.” He said.

“Well I just can’t believe it. I believe you but I just can’t see how someone could do that to their child.” I said.

He pulled the covers down a little bit to reveal his bare chest and stomach. I saw a scar on his stomach. I touched it with my fingers.

“Read the note.” He said.

I opened the note and read it to myself:

Dear Trav,

Hey its dad, I know I haven’t been that great of a dad and I know I killed your mom and shot you as well almost killing you. I get out of here in 2 years and I want us to be a family again. They said I might get out earlier though because I have shown a lot of improvement. I will keep you up to date on me.

Dad

After I read that I was furious.

“That’s not right! He can’t get out early. He fucking killed two people almost killing you as well.” I said furiously.

“That’s why I was upset and got high. I didn’t mean to overdose I was just upset. I don’t want him anywhere near me. I want him to stay in jail.” He replied crying.

I looked at him and wiped the tears off his cheeks with my thumb.

“What else did you want to ask me?” he asked.

“So the dress you gave me to wear was someone else’s?” I asked.

“Yes but I don’t really want to talk about it…” he said.

“She couldn’t go so I was a backup?” I asked somewhat upset.

“No its not like that Melanie. Do you really want to know about her?” he asked.

“Yes please…” I said.

“Well the truth is her name was Holly and we dated two years. A month ago, we were hanging out with some friends who I will not name. We were drag racing and drinking and getting high. Well she always rode with me when I raced. I was drunk and high and we were racing at dead curve drive and…” he stopped and started crying.

I could tell this was extremely hard for him to talk about. I rubbed his back.

“Go on…” I said.

“Well you know the brick wall they have up there?” he asked.

“The damaged one?” I asked.

“Yes, we hit that wall going 103 MPH…” he said.

“Oh my god…” I said with my mouth open in shock.

“She died on impact and I almost died but as you can see I didn’t.” he said.

I never knew someone could have such a horrible life. He almost died three times that I know of and yet he never really shows it. I leaned in and kissed him on the lips and then I pulled away. He looked at me, I leaned back in, and we started making out.

Later after making out with Travis for a little bit, I went to Caleb’s door to get Jesse. I swear though that nothing else happened with Travis, it was just some making out. I knocked and they didn’t answer so I decided too quietly let myself in. They were on Caleb’s bed. Caleb was on top of Jesse and they were making out. I took out my camera phone and started recording. This was amazingly good. I laughed to myself. I quietly shut the door behind me. I quietly walked closer to get a better look. Jesse had his shirt off but he still had on his tight jeans. Caleb had all his clothes still on. He stopped kissing Jesse and then started nibbling and licking Jesse’s left nipple. Jesse let out a little moan. Caleb got up and started grabbing the bulge in Jesse’s pants. Jesse sat up and started making out with Caleb. Then he lifted up Calebs shirt and took it off, and then continued to make out. Man this was amazingly hot. They are so into it that they don’t even notice that I am standing here recording. Caleb pushed Jesse down while they were still making out he undid Jesse’s belt, button and zipper. Then he slowly slide his hand down Jesse’s boxer briefs.
