Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 53

☆☆

The Police just left Bryan’s house after doing their follow up. Though Grissel managed to stop Tom from pointing out Bryan as a suspect, the police had already taken interest in him and his friends.

Judge Sculley came to his rescue and because he believed his son wasn’t capable of murder.

‘Who was that at the door earlier?’ Melisa who was in her room when the doorbell rang asked.

‘So you are talking to me now. I thought we were just roommates.’ Bryan teased.
‘It’s been a week and until you are ready to talk we are just roommates.’ Melisa told him.

‘Lisa, I’ve told you time without number I had nothing to do with what happened.’
‘My brother thinks your hands are not clean.’
‘Tom is delusional.’ Bryan said pacing around.
‘Would you stop making noise with your flip flops?’ Melisa snarled at him for no reason.
She was getting irritated with his recent silence. Bryan hasn’t said a word since Julia drove Melisa to his place as she promised. Melisa has been trying for a whole week to get him to say what he knew about the shoot-out but he keeps distracting her.
‘Sorry, but I have to go out now. Would you be okay in here?’ He asked like a good boy.
‘If you step out of that door, we are done.’ Melisa told him standing up to block his view.
‘Lisa, we’ve been at this all week and I have been trying to hold back.’
‘Hold back? I just want to know what happened.’ She yelled.
‘What do you even care? I mean Henry had always molested you and Dane hurt you so what is it to you if they get killed.’
‘They were my friends and you had no right to shoot them.’ She roared.
‘You are delusional like your brother.’
‘Me? Delusional?’
‘Yes, and you don’t even see my silence is actually keeping you out of jail.’
The room went silent and dark to Melisa. She didn’t understand what he meant by that.
‘What is that supposed to mean?’
‘Now I got your attention.’ Bryan stared at her for a long while. He knew she was innocent but he thought of using his doubts to blackmail her emotionally.
‘You think I could do this to a man I love.’ She said with regrets because she bite her lips.
‘Love!’ He painfully exclaimed.’
‘Let’s not go there. But what do you mean by your silence is keeping me out of jail.’
‘You can deny it all you want but Cephas probably have evidence against you.’
‘And who is Cephas?’
He turned to look at her innocent face and realized she doesn’t know the name of the guys that used to sleep with her in her unconscious state. Bryan quickly shrugged off the blackmail thoughts.

He knew how Morris could be violent when it comes to his daughter so he swallowed hard to be able to continue talking with her.
‘One of Henry’s friend’s think you have something to do with his death.’
‘Like seriously?’
‘Yes, the same way you and your brother think I was involved.’
‘So you had nothing to do with all these?’ Melisa asked slowly as she was fed up of his attitude.
‘You asked me who was at the door earlier.’
‘Yes, and you shut me off.’
‘That was the police clearing me of your brother’s suspicions and don’t worry Cephas was bluffing.’
‘Of course he was and besides I was with you here all day.’ Melisa was definitely out of questions.
‘I told the police all that in front of my dad.’ Bryan stressed.
Bryan walked to sit beside her while she rested her head on his shoulders.
‘I pray D wakes up soon.’ She murmured while Bryan frowned.
Her phone rang at that moment and her heart skipped. She watched Michelle’s number flashing her phone for the second time and she answered while Bryan still had a frown on his face.
‘What happened?’ Melisa asked immediately she answered.
‘Relax, he’s awake but hasn’t said a word yet.’
Melisa sighed standing up so she could move away from Bryan who was angrily looking on. He knew it was about Dane.
‘But he’s breathing and he’s blood works are fine right?’ Melisa queried.
‘He just woke up a couple of minutes ago. We are waiting for you to start all the blood works.’
‘Michelle, you don’t need me there. You have my consent to do anything at this point.’
‘I know but I thought you would want to be the one to tell him about the amputation.’
‘No, I can’t. You are his doctor and that’s your responsibility.’ Melisa muttered.
‘Alright, I will stalk for a while until we are sure everything is okay.’
‘Thank you Michelle. I owe you one but do me a favor and call Stella. She’s Dane’s family.’
‘I would do that.’ Michelle said faintly.
Melisa hanged up quickly and turned around just to bump into Bryan.
‘Jeez, you scared me.’
‘He’s alive right?’ Bryan asked with anger lacing his voice.
‘Yes, but I’m staying here with you.’ She feigned a smile.

‘I’m not stupid Lisa. If you want to go, just leave already.’ He angrily said and walked out while Melisa looked on with her mouth still opened.

When she finally regained her composure, Paige was the first person she called to pick her up because her car was still with Julia. When she drove her there after she collapsed at the hospital, Julia drove back home in Melisa’s car.
