Melody sat in the sub shop strumming at her guitar singing softly when her friend began stuck his head in the entry way, "Mel, I need to clean the tables."

"Fine. I'll help," Melody replied standing up and setting her guitar outside the room.

"Nah, I can do it," Justin told her gathering plates.

"Ugh. Give me a freakin' wash cloth!" Melody grabbed the one that was slung over Justin's shoulder and he sighed as she began to wipe down the tables.

"You don't have to-" Justin tripped over a chair and fell taking Melody down and sending the dishes flying.

The dishes shattered against the wall and floor as Justin fell on top of Melody making her yelp as the full force of his body weight was distributed on her tiny frame. She winced and Justin started babbling, "Oh no. Your back... I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"

Melody was a gymnast until she was fourteen and injured her back on the vault. She nodded slowly as Justin clambered off of her and Mrs. Russo rushed downstairs. Justin pulled Melody up seeing her wince, "I'm so sorry!"

"What happened?" Mrs. Russo demanded throwing her hand up when she saw the broken glass.

"I tripped," Justin replied sheepishly grabbing the broom that was sitting in the corner.

"Justin, you are so clumsy! OW!" Melody teased rubbing her back.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Justin asked worriedly.

"I'm sure, Justin. Stop worrying," Melody replied as Mrs. Russo eyed her.

"Justin , be careful with your friends!" Mrs. Russo shook her head and headed back upstairs.

Justin finished sweeping and wiped down the tables before sitting next to Melody, "I'm so so-"

"Justin! Stop apologizing!" Melody told him as he untied his apron.

"I-Never mind," Justin muttered as Melody stood.

"I'm going to get tea, wanna come?" Melody asked gathering her things.

Justin handed Melody her beloved journal before replying, "Sure."

Melody took it quickly and stuffed it in her bag before grabbing her guitar and putting it in the case. She was, in many ways, Justin's polar opposite; she wasn't very organized and she was very artsy. She dropped her sheet music and bent over to grab it wincing as she bent over.

"Mel..." Justin handed her the music pulling her into a hug.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Melody murmured into his chest.

They pulled apart and she pulled her guitar on her back, "Lets go."

Melody sipped her green tea pulling her knees to her chest resting her chin on her knees; Justin knew her all to well, "You're sad."

"I'm always sad, Justin." Melody looked over at Justin who was fiddling with the seam of his shirt.

"I know... It makes me sad when you're sad," Justin replied resting his hand on hers.

"I'm sorry."

"You can't help it."

"How do you figure?"

"Clinical depression is a disease just like cancer. You can't help getting cancer."

"It's different."

Justin began to rattle off facts making Melody angry, "Gosh, Justin! Can't you just let it go?"

"Yeah but-"

"Stop, Justin. Just. Stop." Melody stood up but Justin grabbed her wrist.

"Fine. I'm sorry, Mel," Justin told her pulling her back onto the couch.

Melody rested her head on Justin's shoulder and he smiled to himself before sipping out of his cup again, "I gotta go home, Mel."

"Oh. Okay," Melody replied standing and grabbing her stuff.

"I'll walk you home," Justin offered taking the guitar for her.

"You don't have to do that," Melody replied softly.

"I kinda do. It's part of being a best friend," Justin explained smiling.

Melody started singing the chorus to "Love Drunk" and dancing around her room when she saw Justin hovering in the doorway. He was laughing and she felt the blood rush to her cheeks, "Oh my gosh..."

"Is now a bad time?" Justin laughed as she turned off the music.

"Uh... No. Whadda need?" Melody asked pulling him into her room and onto her bed.

Melody was wearing a relatively short dress that showed off her toned legs making Justin stutter, "I-I needed to talk to you."

"About?" Melody asked self consciously pulling her dress down.

"Well. Not here. Can we go to my house?" Justin asked making her nod.

"Yeah. I can't believe you saw that..." Melody was blushing as she grabbed her light blue hoodie.

She pulled it on and slipped her plaid shoes as Justin spoke, "I knew you were a dork."

"Hey now! You have an doll-" Justin scowled, "ACTION FIGURE."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say," Melody teased following Justin out the door, "MOM! I'M GOING TO JUSTIN'S!"

"Alright!" her mom shouted back.

"Woo. Um. Well. Ummmmmm." Justin was helplessly babbling as he stood in front of the lair.

"Justin, what?" Melody asked touching his back.

"Well..." Justin opened the door and quickly ushered her in.

"What is this?" Melody asked looking around.

Justin didn't know how to tell her, "ALEX!"

"Hmmm? Whoa! What's she doing here?" Alex asked eyeing Melody.

"Well..." Justin locked eyes with his sister begging her silently.

"Oh. We're wizards." Alex shrugged and exited the lair making Justin frown.

"Justin, really. What is this place?" Justin pulled out his wand and murmured, "Edgebonoutoosis" pointing the wand at the orange on the table.

Another orange appeared making Melody gasp, "Oh my... How?"

"My entire family."

"Why me?"

"You're my best friend."

Melody blinked rapidly making Justin hug her, "You can't tell anyone."

"I kinda figured," Melody told him closing her eyes and inhaling his scent.

Author's Note: I hope it is semi-okay. xD
