C hapter Ten-Black Mail.

After the trip things became better, for Christmas I got everything I wanted. Clothes, money, and pictures from my friends. Tai bought me a cute brown puppy key chain, I called it Tai Jr. only because it looked just like him, brown tan and with crazy hair. Melanie bought me a matching shirt that says, "Live your life." and with my last name on the back, as for Matt he bought me a guitar since I told him how I wanted to start playing a instument. Who knows maybe I'll be in his band with him one day. Today was the 31th, almost a new year. My parents said I could celebrate with Tai and Kari since they wanted to celebrate with themselves, which I was perfectly fine with. That day I visited Melanie to kill some time before it got dark. I rang the doorbell as Melanie opened the door with a smile on her face.

"Someone's in a good mood." I mentioned taking off my shoes and sitting down on the couch.

"I guess. Matt's coming over by the way. So you celebrating with your boyfriend?"

I blushed a little, I guess I wasn't quite used to Tai being my boyfriend but it made my stomach turn. I nodded my head and asked her, "What about you and Matt?"

She sat next to me and played with her fingers, "Naw, I'm telling him when he gets here that I'm celebrating with my parents, since I started talking to them, I decided that I should start the new year with them."

I smiled, "That's nice. I bet he'll understand though." She nodded and we watched a little bit of TV until the doorbell rang.

"Hi Mel." He said, giving her a hug and sat next to me, "Meems, go to your boyfriends house."

He smirked while I felt my face hot, "Whatever Matt!"

-Melanie's Views-

"Hey Matt, I can't celebrate New year's with you." I said quietly, looking down at the floor.

"Why's that?"

"Because I've decided to spend it with my parents since it's a whole new year and you know, it's been a while. I'm sorry, very very sorry. I'll make it u-"

He stood up and hugged me, "You talk too much. It's fine. I'll celebrate with my paren-" Before I could finish his phone rang, and he added, "Hold on." I nodded and sat down next to Mimi.

-Matt's Views-

"Hello?"

"Matt, you busy new years eve's?" Kimu asked.

I sighed, "No. Why?"

"Party! Come on, you have to go. Just have fun. Not too much, or else Melanie will kill you."

"Whatever, I know that. I guess I can go. She won't mind. Besides, you're going to watch me right?"

"No, Shino will. I'll be busy."

I laughed, "Doing what? Trying to get laid?"

"Very funny, Matty. Just go. It'll be fun. Okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'ma go. I'm at Mel's apartment. Bye." I hung up after, when I was going back in her house I was thinking about what might or might not happen at that party. I didn't want to hide anything from Melanie, but I was scared on how she'll react. When I got back into her apartment I sat next to her, as she looked at me.

"So what happened?"

"Kimu asked me to go to a party, I was wondering if you can let me go."

"Matty, I'm not you're Mom. Go, have fun. It's a new year. Just don't over do it, or something. Please, for me."

I sighed in relief and hugged her tight, kissing her forehead and whispered, "This is why I love-" But before I could finish Mimi interupted us.

"I'm still sitting here you know." She mentioned as our faces turned pink and I said, "Sorry. I forgot. I'm not even kidding."

She laughed and got up, "Well it's 5, I'll be going my way. Have fun you two."

"I might as well go too, takes time to look good." I said getting up and walking towards the door with Mimi.

"Fine, fine. Have fun you two at happy new year's eve. Love you two!" She exclaimed as we waved and went our way.

-Mimi's Views-

A s we walked towards the elevator I felt worried about what was going to happen. I mean any girl can try and get at Matt since he is a rock star, parties go wrong all the time.

"Matt, don't mess this up. Seriously."

He nodded and patted my back, "I'm not that dumb Meems, I'll be fine. I won't do anything to hurt Melanie anyways."

I sighed in relief and waved at him while the elevator was going down. After walking a little bit I made it to Tai's place, I knocked on the door and Kari opened the door.

"Hi Mimi, come on in." I nodded and I took off my shoes and sat down next to her, "Tai's changing, might be a while."

I smiled and nodded. I know that I shouldn't worry about things I'm not in, but I seriously had a bad feeling about Matt going to the party. I heard a snap and I shook my head, "Huh?"

"Mimi, you okay? You seem kinda tense."

"Don't tell your brother what I'm about to tell you." She nodded as we hooked our pinkys together and I whispered lightly, "Matt's going to a party, without Melanie. I'm worried that something might go wrong since girls will know that she's not with him."

Her eyes widen and her jaw was wide open, "He better not do anything. Well, I know that he won't but parties are crazy. Even when it's New year's parties."

"You got that right, parties are the best though!" Tai yelled jumping on the couch, causing me to squeal, "You okay? Sorry."

"It's fine. It's fine." I said, hugging him and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Sor, you sure you don't want to come with me?" Michaki asked fixing her hair.

"No. I don't want to come to some lame party." She sighed as her phone was ringing.

"Hello?- Hi Kimu, yeah I'm still coming.- Who's going?-Matt? Without Melanie? Really? That's shocking. I'll be there soon, bye." After she hung up I grinned to myself.

I got over the fact that Matt wasn't going to be mine, but since he's with Melanie I can just simply end their relationship.'If Melanie's not there, then Matt will go beyond crazy. But he won't talk to me, but then Michaki's going.' "Hey Michaki, you know why Melanie's not going?" She shook her head.

"Because it's so obvious, they probably taking a break. You know those two are always together. Tell me, don't you think Matt's really attractive?"

"Well, he is, I mean it's- Wait, where are you getting at?" Her lavander eyes glared at me, as I giggled to myself.

"Go get him, but you know, get him hype'd up to party!" I explained.

"With what?" She asked.

"This." I handed her a mini plastic bag and smiled.

"No Sora this is wrong, I don't want to do this."

"It's nothing bad! Just a spice up. Now, let's make you look beyond sexy shall we?"

-Matt's Views-

After driving for a while, I finally reached Kimu's house. I wore a white v-neck, a gray cardigan, simple jeans, and black vans. I knocked on the door and he opened it up, "Matt! Great, you're here! Come on." I smiled and walked right in and sat down with Shino.

"Wow, hey, surprised to see you here. Been better if Mel was here."

I sighed, "Yeah. Aye, how you going home if you're going to drink?"

He laughed, "Cousin's picking me up. You need a ride?"

"If I drink too much, sure. But I don't know who'll drive my car."

He patted my back, "I'll ask his girlfriend to drive it to your place."

"Aye! Shots, now!" I got up and took a shot of vodka, straight down my throat. I disliked the feeling of the sting of it, but I didn't care.

-Sora's Views-

"Come out already!" I shouted as she came out the bathroom. Wearing a one shoulder zebra dress, and white heels. Along with wearing brown contacts, and curly black hair. I smiled, "You look good."

She blushed a little and walked down, "Really? Thanks. Well, I'm going to go now. Wish me luck." I waved at her as she was walking out. 'If only I was there to see what's about to go down.'

-Melanie's Views-

As I was with my parents, they mentioned to me that we were celebrating with Tai and his family, along with Mimi. So we walked towards their apartment and I see Tai waiting outside, hugging me tightly, "Aw Mels you look so cute." I slapped his arm and smiled softly.

"You're weird, Tai." I went in with my parents and greeted everyone in the apartment. I sat in between Kari and Mimi as Kari whispered into my ear, "You're not worried about Matt?"

I looked directly at Mimi as she said, "Sorry. We didn't tell Tai though."

I sighed in relief. I didn't want Tai to know, only because he'll be negative and all that. "Good. Because I trust Matt enough to even let him go."

-Matt's Views-

After drinking a couple of shots, and a couple of beers. I felt dizzy, I didn't over drink but I was getting there. The loud music beating my ears, and the many people we're making me feel worse. I sat down next to this black haired girl, who looks just like Melanie.

"Hi." Is all I can spat out for now.

"Hi Matt."

"Oh you know me, that's good."

She giggled, "Yeah, you're the hottest guy in school and a rock star. Everyone knows you."

I smiled, "I guess. But it's nothing."

"So, uh, where's your girlfriend?"

"Oh, at home. She couldn't come, or well yeah. Oh well."

She frowned at me, as I took another sip from my bottle, "Whatchu got there?"

She took out the mini plastic bag and said, "This?" I shook my head, "I suggest you go to the bathroom, inhale this, and you'll feel refreshed in a matter of time." I nodded and took it out of her hand and went on my way to the bathroom.

-Melanie's Views-

"Mel, go call him. Check up on him." Mimi suggested as I nodded. I called him, no answer. I called Kimu, no answer. Finally, when I called Shino I felt relieved.

"Hey Mel, what's up?"

"Matt's okay right?"

"Yeah, he just went to the bathroom. Stop worrying hun, I got this. You have fun too, bye." I hung up and smiled. 'No worries.'

-Matt's Views-

"Man, I feel good!" I exclaimed.

She laughed, "See told you."

"Everyone countdown!" "5-4-3-2-1!"

After that countdown, I grabbed the girl and gave her a kiss. A long deep one, as she kissed back. I didn't care who looked or anything. I asked her, "Care to follow me to the bedroom." But before she could finish, someone grabbed my arm and dragged my out Kimu's house.

"What, the, fuck." Shino said as I laughed, "What? Jealous cause I got some?"

"Are you stupid? Cause clearly you are."

I felt my body rushed in anger as I grabbed him by the collar, "Shut up Shino, back up!"

"Dude, chill. What the hell, you weren't looking good earlier next thing you know when you come out of the bathroom, you're all Mr. Sunshine."

"Because, that nice girl gave me a plastic bag of this." I showed him it and he snatched it from me and threw it away, "Dude, you did Meth. What the hell, you're going home. Now!"

-Tai's Views-

After the count down I took Mimi's first kiss of the year, as I overheard Melanie's conversation on the phone.

"Hello? Aw, okay, that's good, thank you so much Shino. He can get carried away with drinking but I'm glad you kept a eye on him for me. You're the best. Bye!"

"Ehem." I coughed out, as she jumped in surprise.

"H-hi Tai!"

"Matt went to party?" She nodded her head slowly, "But nothing bad happened."

'Come on Mel, Shino's probably lying. New year's parties are crazy.'

-The Next Morning- / -Sora's Views-

After the countdown, I woke up with a lot of texts. I didn't quite know what happened but then when I saw all the pictures, pictures of what happened last night. I couldn't be happier, when this goes out to Melanie, this forsure will be the end of their relationship. 'Going to be one good new year.'
