Reid and Melinda spent the day in her room just hanging out. They watched movies and just talked. At around five Melinda made Reid leave to get ready for Nicky's. After he left she jumped into the shower. Then straightened her hair. She put on her 'Tripp Black and Red Buffalo Plaid corset vest' and 'Black and grey stitch skinny jeans'. The she put on her 'Iron fist mono skull platform boots'. She threw on her jacket and walked out the door. She shut it and turned around to lock it. When she turned around she screamed. There was a darkling right behind her. Then it disappeared. Melinda stood there shaking for a few minutes. Then she grabbed her phone and called the first person who came to mind.
"Hey what's up?" Caleb asked.
"I just saw a darkling." Melinda told him.
"I saw it this morning. Where are you?" he asked.
"Outside my dorm. I was getting ready to go over to Reid and Tyler's." Melinda told him.
"Alright hurry. I'll talk to you at Nicky's later tonight."
"Will you stay on the phone with me 'till I get there. I'm scared Cay." Melinda confided in her brother.
"Yeah." he told her. A few minutes later Melinda found herself in front of Tyler and Reid's door. She just walked in. Reid was pulling on his black fingerless gloves and Ty was watching T.V.
"Hey babe. Who you talking to?" Reid asked.
"Caleb." she replied.
"Did you tell him?" he asked.
"Do you want me to?"
"It would probably be best to tell him not in person. I'm to young to die." Reid said.
"Tell me what? Your not pregnant are you? 'Cause if you are I swear to god…" Caleb trailed off.
"No Cay I'm not pregnant. Jeeze… Reid proposed this morning, and I said yes."
"WHAT? YOU CAN'T GET MARRIED! YOU ARE ONLY SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD! I WON'T LET YOU! JESUS MELINDA WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE WILL SAY! THEY'LL THINK YOUR FUCKING PREGNANT OR SOMETHING! NO YOU'RE NOT MARRYING REID!" Caleb yelled into the phone.
"I never said we were getting married right away. Christ Caleb. We'll probably wait 'till I'm eighteen and after graduation. I don't care what people will say. I'm not pregnant and if Reid and I want to get married there's nothing you can do. We'll elope if we have to. But I swear to god Caleb if you try and mess this up for me I will never forgive you. I love Reid and he loves me, and it's about time you started to deal with that fact." with that said Melinda hung up the phone. She started to massage her temples. Reid stood in front of her and pulled her into a hug. Melinda sighed into his chest. Tyler came up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about him. He'll come around. But for now I think we should head to Nicky's and use this news to get some beer from Nicky." Tyler said. Reid smirked and Melinda laughed.
"I think you've been hanging around Reid and I to much." Melinda told him. He just laughed. The three walked out to the dorm parking. They climbed into Tyler's Hummer and headed to Nicky's. Reid threw his arm around Melinda's shoulder and she wrapped hers around his waist. They walked into the bar and Melinda smiled as the familiar surroundings hit her senses. They claimed a table by the pool tables. Then Melinda, Reid and Tyler walked up to the bar. Melinda smiled brightly at Nicky.
"Hey Nicky! Can we get some beers?" She asked him sweetly.
"Hi Melinda. Why should I give you some?" he replied.
"'Cause I just got engaged!" she said happily. She showed Nicky the ring. He sighed and got three beers. The three walked back to their table. Melinda took a swig of her beer and smiled.
"Best shit ever! I fucking love alcohol!" Reid just smiled and chuckled at his girlfriend. Melinda squealed when Something In Your Mouth by Nickelback came on. She turned to her boyfriend/ fiancé and smiled.
"No." he told her. She started to pout.
"C'mon Reidi-kins. Come dance with me." she pleaded.
"Yeah Reidi-kins. Go dance with her." Tyler mocked. Reid shot him a glare and let Melinda pull him out on to the dance floor.
Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on!
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her she'd be gone before you holler, come on!
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
Crafty little lip tricks, tattoos on her left hip
She's bending as you're spending, there's no end to it, so baby come on!
Dressed up like a princess, betting that her skin smells
Better than the scent of every flower in the desert, come on!
Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along!

I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out'
Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth
She loves the night scene, bar queen, just living for the fun
Taking over every dance floor like she's the only one
In the spotlight, all night, kissing everyone
And trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb
(So much cooler)
When you never pull it out
(So much cuter)
With something in your mouth!

Melinda was sure that there was eyes on her and Reid as they grinded against each other. There was no denying the fire and passion between the two. She made Reid stay with her on the dance floor with her when their song The Only Exception by Paramore came on. She turned around and wrapped her arms around Reid's neck as her wrapped his around her. He kissed her hair.
"I love you." he said.
"Love you too."
When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing
To Melinda this was the perfect song for them. It described her perfectly. She had watched as her father became addicted to the power and how her mother's missing of her father drove her to drinking. And Reid's mother had left his father after she had Reid because of the power. They had always told themselves they would never fall in love but look where they were now. They pulled away and walked off of the dance floor over to Tyler and the pool tables. Reid went up to his best friend and slapped him upside the head.
"Ow!" Tyler exclaimed.
"You ever call me Reidi-kins again and it'll be the last thing you ever do." Reid threatened. Melinda just giggled grabbing her beer and taking a drink. She looked over to the door and saw her brother walk in with Sarah. She glared and then looked at Reid.
"I'll be right back." she told him the she stalked over to Caleb with an angry determined look on her face.
