Look, I updated twice in one day! Amazing isn't? lol Again, sorry if there are a lot of mistakes.
"I can't tell. I promised. I promised I wouldn't tell!"
Melinda had been released from the hospital and was now sitting at home with Jim.
"I just don't understand it. Why won't she tell me what's bothering her? She said she promised not to tell. Who'd she promise?" Melinda was thinking out loud, and Jim was there listening, as always.
"I think that you need to talk to her again. You need to convince her that the only way to cross over to break her promise and to tell you what is going on."
"Any idea how I get her to talk to me again?" Melinda asked.
"Not a clue."
"Thanks, you are so much help." Melinda said rolling her eyes and playfully hitting him on the shoulder.
"Ya, well, I try." Jim said as he winked at Melinda. The seriousness of the original conversation was lost, and the two both burst out laughing.
...
It was the next day and Melinda was in the store alone.
"Jamie, hi." Melinda said as the young girl walked on, "What are you doing here? Where's your mom, I really need to speak with her."
"I..I came alone. Please, don't tell my mom I came to see you! Promise me, promise me you won't tell." she begged.
"I promise, your mom will never know that you were here." Melinda started to ask her why she came to see her when something occurred her; that was the same thing that Jasmine has told her, but backwards. "Wait, was it you? Were you the one that Jasmine is keeping a secret for?"
Melinda saw a look of shock come over the girl's face; she obviously didn't know how Melinda knew about that. But at least Melinda was sure of her suspicions. Jamie turned to run away, but Melinda stopped her.
"Listen, you need to tell me what the secret was. At least one of you has to tell me." Melinda said motioning that Jasmine was standing on the other side of her cousin.
"Wait, she's here. Jasmine is here, right now?" She asked.
"Yes, she is. And I know that she is keeping a secret for you, and I need to know what it is, right now." Both girls got a weary look on their face, and Melinda knew it wasn't going to be as easy as it hoped to get it out of them.
Melinda was about to say something else, when one of them finally spoke up.
"He hurt me."
Ooh another cliff hanger! I just love those don't I? So who said it, Jamie or Jasmine? I will dedicate the next chapter to the first person who get's it right!
Review please!!
