Melinda a short story for you, hope you like it.
Torn between two loves
Ryan was going to Rehab due to his addiction to cocaine. He had stopped for months, but one fight with Kelly, and he started up again. Michael found out, and gave him a ultimatum either go to rehab or be fired. Ryan took the rehab option he couldn't afford to lose his job than he would lose his apartment, and all the things he loved so much. He could use Kelly he knew she would never turn him away but he couldn't stand the thought of moving in with her. She would drive him crazy , she would never let him out of her sight. Kelly was upset that he had to go to rehab for 3 weeks, she wouldn't talk to Michael, she blamed him. She helped Ryan pack, and she drove him to the place. She went inside they showed them around , they told Kelly Ryan couldn't see anyone for the first week. If everything was going well after the second week they would allow visits. Kelly hugged Ryan she didn't want to let him go. She wasn't impressed that it was a rehab centre for Ladies, and men. She was jealous thinking some of the ladies would be spending time with her man. She touched his face, "You do what your told, I will be waiting to see you. I promise you I will make Michael regret forcing you to do this"
"He was right I was a fool for starting up again"
"Shh you could have stopped on your own he just wanted to show his authority".
Ryan smiled but a beautiful but a very sad young lady walked over to them. "You are not helping him by blaming others for his mistake"
"Excuse me"
"I said he made the choice to be addicted to his drug or alcohol of choice. He needs to own up or he will never get better"
"Go away we didn't ask for your opinion"
Ryan turned, "Sorry I'm Ryan, and my girlfriend is just upset I'm going to be here"
"I'm Melinda, I understand that but your here because you screwed up"
Ryan smiled, 'You are extremely honest, are you a patient here too"?
"Yes I have been here a few days but I'm feeling better"
Kelly grabbed Ryan's arm, "Remember you don't need friends in here they are trouble your real friends are out there" She pointed to the door, Ryan whispered, "Stop being rude"
"She is rude thinking she knows us"
The Nurse walked over, "I'm sorry Ryan your guest will have to leave now"
Kelly hugged Ryan, "I don't want to leave you"
"Kelly go I need this I will be fine" Kelly turned but gave Melinda a look as she walked out the door. The Nurse smiled, "Let me show you where your room is" Ryan turned, "Melinda we will talk later". Melinda smiled, "Sure that would be nice". Ryan grabbed his bag walking down the hall. He smiled wondering if Melinda was still looking at him He turned she was he waved as the Nurse whispered, "Young man be good, focus on your recovery not the ladies"
Ryan laughed, "Hey I think this place is not going to be so bad" The Nurse shook her head, and just knew Ryan was going to be someone she needed to keep her eye on.
To be continued.

Chapter 2
Ryan was sitting in the Office when the Mrs. Reeve's walked over to him.
"Hello Ryan, I'm Mrs. Reeve's, I'm in charge here, I'm the one you have to watch out for"
"Pardon"
"I will not tolerate anyone coming in here, thinking they don't have to abide by the rules. I know what your problems are, and we will be checking your suitcase thoroughly if we find any drugs in there we will have you arrested"
"Drugs are you serious I'm here for help, I need to keep my job"
"Michael is your boss right"?
"Yeah why"?
"He said to watch out for you, now that is scary Ryan"
"Michael said that he is just angry I don't give him the man stare back"
"What are you talking about"?
"Michael my Boss has a man crush on me, and I used it to my advantage. He is a bit crazy himself so don't take what he says to heart"
"Ryan I could careless about Michael, I'm worried about you. You are here because your a drug addict, and you need serious help or you will end up dead, or on the street or ill"
"Wow this place is a bummer"
"Do you want help or not"?
"I'm here stop yelling at me"
"I will yell all I want, I'm going to take you to your room"
"My own room right"?
"No you have another roommate".
"A lady"?
"Leave your bag it will be brought to you once it is checked. " They walked down the hall Ryan smirked he hated Mrs. Reeve's already. He walked into his room seeing a man sitting on the bed staring at the wall. Mrs. Reeve's walked over, "Brian this is Ryan your new roommate."
Brian turned, "Why do I get all the losers"?
Ryan smiled, "I'm a loser look in the mirror jerk"
Mrs Reeve's turned, "Both of you get along quick or I swear I will have you removed from the program"
She walked out leaving Ryan and Brian together. Brian jumped up, "Don't talk to me or look at me "
"Like I want to you might give me nightmares"
"Yeah don't shut your eyes, I have a anger problem, that is why I'm here"
"What did you do"?
"Oh I hurt my girlfriend she bugged me, and I tried to suffocate her when she slept"
"You are sick that isn't true"
Brian smiled, "Really you will never know" Brian walked out, Ryan whispered, "Jerk you have no idea who your dealing with"
Ryan got up , and walked out of the room, walking down the hall. He got to the end of the hall looking out the window. He saw Melinda sitting alone by a small pond. He walked over to a Nurse, "Can I go outside, I need some air"?
"Yes but don't leave or you will be expelled from the Program"
"I wouldn't leave, I just need some fresh air". She pointed to the door to outside he walked out, and walked over to Melinda.
"Hey Melinda"
"Ryan what are you doing out here, I thought you would be getting settled"
"They have my stuff they are checking for drugs"
"Yeah they do that don't worry about it"
"You OK Melinda"?
"Yeah I'm just tired, I can't sleep here"
"Why you have a scary roommate too"?
"No I have cool roommate her name is Jessie"
"Want to change Brian is psycho"
"Brian you got him, he isn't bad he is lost"
"We all are but he said he tried to suffocate his girlfriend"
"He said that well don't worry about it, he won't hurt you"
"Melinda you seem real sad what is your story"?
"I don't want to talk about my life not right now. We have to go to the Art room soon, you will love that"
"Me art no way"
"I hate it too but they say being creative helps us, how I don't know"
"Being creative is cool, but art isn't my cup of tea. Give me a computer, and I will have a blast"
"You will not get computer access for the first week Ryan"
"Melinda I don't know if I can survive this place"
She smiled, "You will it gets easier with time"
Ryan touched her hand, she pulled away, "we better go in"
"Melinda I need a friend I'm sorry"
She turned, "It is OK Ryan lets go in, we don't need them coming after us"
Melinda walked to the door Ryan was looking at the fence thinking about hoping it, and running away from this place. Melinda yelled, "Ryan please don't do it, I promise you it will be OK". Ryan smiled as he walked over to her, and whispered, "Lets go doodle"
Melinda laughed, she really liked Ryan he was different, but she also knew he was trouble , but she felt better being around him, and at least that felt great, it gave her hope that life will get better, and just maybe she would be OK again. She whispered, "Lets go, and after we doodle we get lunch, now that is a real treat"
Ryan smiled as they both went inside, and walked to the class where they do Art Therapy whatever that was. Ryan didn't care he was happy Melinda was in the class to this might be fun after all.

Chapter 3
Melinda went into the art room with Ryan, she walked over to Jessie.
"Mr. Smith looking for me"?
"No he is late your lucky girl"
"Yeah I am but you would cover for me right"
"Yeah "
Ryan smiled, "Hi I'm Ryan I'm new here". He put his hand out, but Jessie wouldn't take it. Melinda whispered, "She isn't being rude she is shy"
"What she can't shake a hand"?
"Ryan give it up I will explain later"
"She is rude"
Melinda smiled at Jessie who stared at Ryan who was a little angry. If he only knew what Jessie had been through he would lighten up, but Ryan normally just dealt with how he felt, and at the moment he was pissed he was disrespected. Brian walked in sitting down, "God I hate this class it is for crazy people, like this is going to make me calm"
Jessie smiled, "Brian we are not crazy, we are here to get help"
"Yeah everyone here is crazy, I'm here because I will end up in jail if I don't do this pathetic program"
Melinda touched Brian's hand, 'Stop your upsetting everyone"
"Hey Melinda color, make a pretty picture"
Ryan jumped up, 'Who do you think you are treating Melinda like that"?
"You want trouble Pretty boy"?
Ryan walked over Brian pushed him making him fall over the table. Jessie jumped up putting her hands over her ears, "Stop please stop". Melinda ran over to Jessie, but screamed, "You both are idiots stop before we all get kicked out of here". Brian sat down so did Ryan, Jessie whispered, "I don't feel good , I want to go back to my room"
"You can't Jessie it is ok"
"No it isn't"
"No one is going to hurt you Sweetie I promise"
"You promise"
"Yeah come on maybe we can use some of the washable paint". Jessie smiled as Melinda walked her back to the table. She sat down Brian looked at her, "I'm sorry Jessie"
"It is ok"
Ryan was angry but he looked at Melinda, "I'm sorry but I was defending you , why am I a idiot"?
"Fighting will land you in more trouble don't you get it"
"He is asking for it"
"Fine get yourself in trouble I thought maybe you were different"
"I won't fight anymore promise"
"Good because I'm not getting kicked out of here because of you"
"What is up with her she is so fragile"?
"If you knew you would understand why , I can't tell you"
"Why"?
"She might someday, but don't push her"
Mr. Smith walked in, 'Everyone is here, I have a new guy today. Ryan why don't you come up here, and tell us a little bit about yourself"
"No I would rather not"
Brian smiled, "We had to get up, and tell us all about yourself"
Ryan got up walking up to the front, "I'm Ryan Howard, I have lived in Scranton all my life. I have had trouble, I'm a addict, but I can stop but I was sent here. I work at a Paper company basically as a Temp but one day I will own that place. I will make all the people who looked down on me pay for treating me like I'm a nobody"
Mr. Smith touched his shoulder, "Wow you act like you have a chip on your shoulder"
"Sir I was sent here for Political reasons at work, I'm not in trouble but I'm here to get help, and I'm grateful for it"
"Thanks Ryan, maybe you can be our Model today"
"Model"
"Yeah they need someone to focus on when they draw, and paint. I have a feeling you might like being center of attention".
"You are right" Ryan sat on the desk, and whispered, "Draw me, but make me pretty". Everyone laughed including Brian, and that was a rarity around here.

Chapter 4
Melinda was smiling at Ryan as she painted trying to concentrate. Ben was painting Ryan but it was awful on purpose, he looked over at Jessie looking at her paper. He stopped just staring at her painting when Melinda looked over staring too. Mr. Smith walked over, "Jessie what are you doing"?
Jessie didn't answer he walked around behind her lifting the painting from in front of her.
"Give me that back "
"Jessie this is not healthy you will never get better you have to move on"
"How can I"? Jessie screamed at him Melinda got up, "Mr. Smith let me take her to her room she needs to rest"
"No she needs to see Mrs. Piper"
"No I can't go to her she keeps talking, and talking she makes my head hurt"
Melinda smiled, "She will focus on Ryan right Jessie"
Jessie looked at Ryan who was confused but he whispered, "Yeah focus on the Greek God in front of you". Mr. Smith whispered, "Jessie can you focus, or should I walk you to Mrs. Piper"?
"I will focus" She sat down tears fell down her face. Ryan looked at Melinda who shook her head. Ryan wanted to break up the tension he jumped up, "Maybe naked modeling would be cool"
"Mr. Howard don't you dare"
Jessie giggled, "Maybe that would keep me focused"
"Young lady that is bad" Mr. Smith wanted to laugh but he kept his composure. Melinda started to laugh making Jessie giggle as Ryan jumped on the table, and made some sexy pose. Melinda was smiling at him he was cute, but he knew it. Jessie whispered, "I'm picturing him without clothes on Melinda is that bad"
"Yes be good, but Melinda was doing the same thing. They were drawing but they couldn't stop laughing. Ben whispered, "Mr. Smith is going to freak out stop laughing"
"Are you picturing him naked too" Jessie laughed as Ben whispered, "No that is disgusting but I will picture you two naked" Melinda and Jessie stare at him, "What I was kidding"
"You better be Bud" Melinda gave him a look. Ben smiled, as he painted , but he was daydreaming , and they were naughty thoughts.
Melinda looked at Jessie's photo, 'Wow you captured him well"
"Really his eyes draw you in don't you think"
Ryan got off the table looking at Jessie's and Melinda's picture. "Melinda really I look like a Alien in this photo come on"
Melinda laughed, "I'm sorry I'm not a Artist"
Ryan picked up Jessie's photo, "Oh God this is good, you made me better looking than I actually am"
"You are conceited Mr. Howard"
"No I'm good looking you both know it"
"You are a jerk Mr. Howard" Ben whispered,
Ryan looked at Ben's photo, "Really Ben you could do better than that I'm a stick figure"
"Well I would like to see someone else model Ryan, you just don't do it for me"
"Who would you like to Model for you"?
"Jessie she is sweet"
Jessie smiled, "You are kind of sweet too"
Ryan mouth opened, 'You wouldn't shake my hand, but he is sweet, I don't think so"
"Ryan go sit down the others are trying to focus on your portrait" Melinda said
Ryan sat on the desk looking at everyone, he laughed if the guys back at work knew what he was doing they would laugh, but he thought hey this beats working, he still is getting paid, so it wasn't a bad deal at all.

Chapter 5
The class was over, it was lunch time, they all walked out in the hall.
Melinda smiled, "Would you like to join us for lunch Ryan"?
"Us you three"
Ben smiled, 'Yes I eat lunch with the girls the deal means with me too"
"Oh man you really hate me Ben"
"I hate life so yeah I hate basically everyone, and everything"
Jessie smiled, "Not me and Melinda"
"Not you two but that is it" Jessie smiled, "Lets go eat, I think it is macaroni day"
"No way kraft dinner"
"Yeah pretty much it sucks like Kraft dinner"
Melinda laughed, "Well you put enough ketchup on it Jessie"
"Yeah just like"
Ben whispered, "Jessie lets go get a seat, they can grab the food"
"Seat"? She went into a trance, she was shaking.
Jessie look at me" Ben touched her face, he could see she was going back in time remembering something that was going to bring back all the pain, he touched her hands, "Yes a table"
"Melinda"
"Jessie go with Ben, I will get you something chocolate too"
She looked at Ben, he grabbed her hand, he turned. "Hurry guys, we will get a table outside". Jessie and Ben left Melinda was watching them. Ryan touched her shoulder, "She is screwed up big time, what happened to her"?
"I want to help her, but she will never be the same"
"Melinda don't cry, she trusts you , but she really is in trouble"
"She lost everything I can't imagine her pain"
"She is alive that is all that matters"
"You don't get it Ryan"
"Tell me what can be so bad that she can't deal, is she a drug addict or a alcoholic"?
"No she lost her twin girls, and her husband in a freak accident. Her husband left a heater on it was really cold in their house. He fell asleep but carbon dioxide got into the house, it killed him, and the twins he fell asleep with them on the couch. She went up to bed early she had a headache, he was watching the girls, she survived, but really she is dead inside, I feel so horrible for her". Melinda started to cry, Ryan was speechless he felt ill he was such a selfish man, full of himself, and he was here because he needed to grow up, and deal with his drug addiction. He couldn't imagine what Jessie was going through, and he was scared to find out what Melinda's story was. She turned, "Promise you will never tell Jessie I told you"
"I won't but why are they telling her to forget about her family. She should remember, she needs to remember them.".
"She tired to kill herself twice, she wants to go be with them, I don't know how to explain to her she needs to move on for them. They would want her to live she survived for a reason"
"Maybe she would have been better off dead, I can't imagine the guilt she must feel". Ryan said
"Guilt why would she be guilty for anything"?
"She is their Mother Melinda they expected her to take care of them she kind of let them down". Melinda pushed Ryan away, "You stay away from me, and you stay away from Jessie" She ran down the hall, he yelled out her name, and ran after her.
