Sorry if this is so short but there really isn't much to write in this chapter. I promise to make the next one longer. Agh, finally I updated this one.
I was as you know always right. Something wrong did happen and I'm going to tell you. Right when Simon and I had our conversation about vacation Melody walked down the stairs and passed us. She was unhappy, even though that was a typical Melody behavior, how could she pissed on her graduation party? Now Simon and I had a thing for eavesdropping. We have done it so many times I could count. I was about to walk away when Simon pulled me back and I turned to see his ear at the door. Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. I then joined Simon
"What do you mean I can't go to UCLA?" Melody shouted.
"Melody, you and I both know that you almost tried to throw out your acceptance to Julliard." Dave replied.
"Hey, how did you find that out?"
"Melody, you need to know how to hide your trash better."
"Oh very funny, well, I ain't going." Why did Melody not want to go to Julliard, I mean, people work super hard but only a few musicians get in. Simon and I exchanged looks; he must have thought the same thing I was thinking. We then put our ears to the door again.
"Melody, I know that you have been through a lot this year with the smoking addiction and Jeanette having triplets, but that's why I want you away from home."
"Dave, you don't understand. I can't leave home, I just can't. Jeanette needs me."
"Melody, you and I both know that that was a very obvious lie. You want to stay because of that boy."
"Trever? No, absolutely not. I told you why I wanted to stay. I need to help Jeanette with my niece and nephews."
"Melody, you keep forgetting that I can read you like a book. I see the way you look at him. In fact, I kind have figured you would be falling for Trever. I never said anything because you're so smart Melody. You know what you should and shouldn't do. Then again, nobody is perfect." I knew what Dave was talking about; he was talking about her former smoking addiction. "Melody, there is a part of you that is feeling guilty because all you did was smoke for the whole time Jeanette was pregnant, so yes, you are telling a bit of the truth. I understand why you would want to stay and help Jeanette. But Melody, Melody, Melody, the bigger part of you wanting to stay is so you can be with Trever." Dead silence came. Melody than mumbled,
"I'm staying, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Simon and I took our ears off the door and quickly moved into a corner in the basement just before Melody opened the office door and slammed it shut. Melody then stopped back upstairs to the party.
Melody didn't speak to anyone the whole rest of the party. Dave kind of kept his distance from Melody. He kind of hanged with Miss Miller and other adults. Melody looked like she was going to kick down a door and shit, I would have too if I was in Melody's spot. Part of me agrees with Melody, yes, I do need help with the triplets, and part of me agrees with Dave, Melody should leave home; it's what's best for her health. When the party was over, I looked over at Melody who was telling Trever goodbye. I got my beautiful triplets and kissed Simon goodbye. Yeah I only live with Simon occasionally. As I walked home I thought of Melody, maybe I would text her later. After all, that's all I could do.
"OMG!" Brittany said getting into bed. "Melody wants to stay here and go to UCLA but Dave won't let her, right?"
"Pretty much." I replied.
"I just can't believe that Dave won't let her stay. I mean, UCLA is a pretty good school."
"What about Melody?" Eleanor asked walking into our room with Everett in her arms.
"Dave won't let Melody stay at home and go to UCLA." Brittany said.
"What? Why not?"
"First of all, Melody got accepted into Julliard; second of all, Dave wants her far away from home due to recent events."
"Poor Melody, I'm going to miss her. We better make this summer last. Poor Trever as well, he's going to UCLA alone."
"Exactly the point." I said taking Everett from Eleanor and putting him with Simon JR and Violet in their crib.
"Well, I can also see Dave's reason." Eleanor sighed. "You know, I have an odd feeling Melody isn't going to get her way on this one."
"Me too." Brittany agreed.
"I guess we have to wait and see." I spoke while putting the covers over me. Eleanor turned the lights off and got into bed when Brittany put her covers over her. That night I dreamed of Simon.
I got up at 7 A.M to check on my babies, they didn't cry all night so I wanted to make sure everything was okay. Violet was awake so I picked her up and gave her a bath in the sink. When I came back I saw that Brittany was up painting her nails. Eleanor was brushing her hair. I put Violet in her crib and grabbed my cell phone. I texted Melody and here's what I wrote,
Hey Melody.
Geez, is that all I wrote? I guess so. Totally lame of me right? She replied back in this message
Hey Jean, I got some bad news. I'm not staying here for college. Dave and I had a huge fight. I really hate fighting and I didn't want anyone else to know this but you.
Oh wow. I'm so lame, Melody writes me a long message and all I had to say was, Hey Melody. So I replied back really quickly,
Listen, Simon and know this. We spied on your conversation.
Great Jeanette. I just told her that I spied on her conversation with Dave. Oh you'll love the response,
WHAT! JEANETTE HOW COULD YOU! I MEAN AND PEOPLE CALL ME A NOSEY PERSON! You and Simon these days have gotten into more mischief than Alvin and that's not a good thing.
She was right, Simon and I have been bending rules lately. I didn't wasn't to talk anymore so I quickly responded back and ended the conversation quickly,
Sorry, Listen ttyl, I'll explain everything later bye.
I hung my phone up and I thought. How could I explain everything?
YEAH JEANETTE, how can you explain anything? JKJKJK! The next update is speeding its way. But first I will be updating the Return of Batmunk
