After seeing Tony with Stephanie that day, once again I've lock myself up. I know I said I'll go to school since I'm almost graduating but I can't face them. I've been getting better, not really getting better but as eating a propel meal and doing something in life.

***
It's really hot out and inside this lonely house I'm dying, I can't stay in anymore; it's really hot and it's Sunday come on! I threw on some light blue shorts and a Black Pink-Floyd t-shirt. I made my way into my living room, I sat on the couch; It's been a tradition of mines, everyday get ready and come down and spent the whole day watching movies and eating pizza. Heartbreaks!

I was half way through watching Star Wars, I know Star Wars only reminds me of Tony but I love Star Wars too, when the door bell rang. Nobody really comes and visits me must been the air. I shrugged it off and continue to watch; "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." I watched in amazement as if it was my first time ever watching. Then the knock came again. I stood up and made my way to the door, "Melodee open, I know you're in there." A familiar voice came to my ears as I open the door.
"Vic ? Kimberly ?" I let them in, close the door and I follow them to my couch. They got comfortable and I offer them a drink. " Yeah Cokes' fine." I toss one to Kim and then to Vic. I get one for myself and make my way back to them.
"What's up guys?" I ask still wandering why they were here.
"Mel, we think we know why you haven't been coming to school." Kimberly said popping open her Coke. I swallowed hard just thinking about what they had to say. "It's Tony isn't it?" Vic finish off.
"I-uh." I couldn't find any words to say. "You like him uh? That's why a couple days ago when we heard the song you left just when Stephanie kissed Tony." Vic continued. Was I that obvious?
"hmm uh I."

"Mel you can't lie to us we know how you feel for him."

"Okay yes maybe I do like him..." They stood quiet.
"Guys I don't know what to do anymore! It hurts, I thought he liked me too!" I said sobbing, Kim instantly pulled me into a hug, I rested my wet cheek on her shoulder. "shh Mel it's okay, Tony hasn't been the same with out you too, he's happy but then goes down when we talk about you and he misses you Hun."

"But he likes Stephanie why would he get with her if he didn't!" I continued to cry.

"Yeah but we don't like Stephanie with Tony. We like you and him." Vic spoke up.

"You need to come back to school tomorrow talk to Tony tell him how you feel."

"But if I do what's going to happen? Want to know! Him and I, friendship over! He would never talk to me again!" I yelled.

"Mel calm down. It's okay just don't show him you're hurt, act like the boss or sooner or later he's going to start and notice your behavior."

"Okay Kim, Vic don't tell Tony please." I begged.

"Mel of course I won't tell him but come tomorrow. Okay?"

"Okay." I reply wiping away my tears.

"Guys don't leave! Stay and watch Star Wars with me?"

"Okay but isn't that Tony's thing." Vic replied with a laugh.

"Yeah well this are his movies and he and I always use to watch them together but-"

"Yeah lets' just watch it." I laughed and sat on the couch next to Vic, Kim was on his other side resting her head on his chest while I had it on his shoulder. "I feel like the man with two ladies on my side." Vic said with a smirk. I playfully slap his arm. "Oh Vicky!"

The next morning I woke up extra early. I turn up the music I was listening to and walk back up to my room naked with a towel covering me up a bit. I had already shower earlier so I just threw on some clothes, black skinny jeans and a gray long sleeve. My hair was still wet, with my fingers I twirl my hair a bit to get wavy hair instead of my natural straight. I sing along with the song I was hearing while I put on my black converse. It felt like it was going to be a nice day today, It's not hot!
I grab my green messenger bag, I slip my phone into my back pocket and head out. I lock my door behind me, I head towards my car. Once I'm in I turn on the engine, I pull of my driveway and head to school.


What a waste of my time. I rather be home watching movies and eating my pizza, I broke my tradition! This class is boring. I look pass my shoulder and saw everyone copying notes from the board. I look back at the board and start writing down what ever the teacher was writing. Shoot.
My pencil broke. "Hey Jaime do you have a pencil I can borrow?"
"Yeah here." he handed me over the pencil he was using and later he pulled out another one from his backpack.

"Hey Mel, I'm glad you're back you better not leave again all of a sudden." Jaime whispered. I let out a small laugh. " Jaimito, I won't leave again okay." He laugh and continued writing.

"Jaime, Is Tony happy with Stephanie?"

"Well to be honest with you, he told me he's getting tired how she gets jealous and I thought he liked you! I don't really like how she wants everything her way, but Tony doesn't see it."

"Everyone's telling me how they thought me and him should be together but I know he likes Stephanie and I want him to be happy."

"So you do like Tone?"

"Jaime I can't lie to you."

"You like Tony?!" This time Jaime didn't whispered, I shut him up.

"Jaime! someone could have heard you! Yes I can't deny it I do like him." I whisper yell.

"So this is why you're behaving all different around him?"

"Yeah Hime. My heart is broken."

"Aww Mel. It's okay Tony and Stephanie won't last forever."

"Yeah but Tony only likes me as a friend.."

School went by fast, tomorrow we were rehearsing for our graduation in three days. I made up my mind and now I'm coming everyday, I have to move on, I guess this is life. I was walking down the school parking lot, when I hear someone call my name. I turn my head a bit to see who it was but not enough for the sun to hit me. I couldn't see who it was so I continue walking but suddenly someone blocked my way and was standing right in front of me.

"Bryan?" Great more drama in my life!

"Hey Melodee, I want to apologize for everything!"

"No Bryan, you cheated on me." I move aside and continue to walk towards my car. Man where did I park?

"Mel wait!" He catches up to me and pushes me against the wall harshly.

"Oww Bryan what the hell!"

"Maybe this will change your mind." He leaned in to kiss me I tried pulling away but his grip was way to strong enough for me to be able to move. I finally broke from it and push him off.
"No Bryan I gave you a chance but not anymore." He lifted his arm. Like he was about to hit me.
"Leave her alone!" Tony. Tony came and rescued me? What?

He pushed him to the floor but Bryan hurriedly stood up.
"Who are you? Why do you care?!"
"I'm her best friend Tony! Now leave before I do something I'll regret later." Damn angry Tony was Hot! His eyes look perfect in the angle I'm looking at. Bryan fist started to make it's way to Tony's face.
"You're Tony? Haha! You do now Mel lik-"Bryan said while holding on to Tony shirt. Was he just going to tell Tony that I liked him. How does he even know. I pass push Tony and slap Bryan.

"Leave Bryan! I don't like you! And I won't take you back after what you just did." I grab my bag and left, Bryan stood there while I heard footsteps behind me.
"Mel wait." I turn to face Tony. I open my mouth to say something but instead he brings me into a hug.

"I've missed you baby girl." suddenly I felt guilty, Tony did miss me and I can't lie I did too. Maybe it was wrong of me just leaving like that, I should be happy he has a girlfriend and not be sad.

"Tony I miss you too." He kiss my forehead I look into his eyes and he looks down at mines, was this really happening!

"Tony!!!" Nope, killer. Stephanie.
" You know I've been staring at you!" She made her way towards us, I felt Tony's hand disappear from my back as he was now holding Stephanie's waist.

"Yeah I forgot.." He sighed. I cleared my throat. " Thanks Tony." I let out a sigh and start walking away. "Wait Melodee right?" Stephanie asked. Wonder what she wants.
"Yeah what's up?" I tried so hard not to roll my eyes at her.
"I want to get to know my boyfriend's best friend better." My eyes met Tony, he nodded in agreement.
"Alright.."
