Setting: Rumor (previous night

Mel and Tyler are sitting at a table in the middle of Rumor. They just ordered some desert and are waiting for the server to come back. Even though they're just making small talk, they seem to enjoy each other's company.

Soon enough Mel get's down to business.

"So how do we find Eddie and Loren?" she interrogates, "no scratch that, why do you want to find them? You hate Eddie."

Tyler fake smiles and sits back, "Honestly, I'm just interested, to get my name out there. And true I don't like Eddie, but I have nothing against your little friend Loren."

Mel nods.

Can I really trust this guy though? If it means finding Loren. I'm going to have to try. Mel thinks.

"We just need to find them." He adds.

Mel bites her lip thinking.

"What can I do to help?" asks Tyler.

"hmmm." Mel ponders, "That guy, Jake's assistant or something. He knows something."

"Steven?"

"YES!" Mel bellowed pointing at Tyler excitedly hovering in her chair, "That's the guy!"

Tyler chuckled as Mel sat back in her seat and collected herself.

"hahaha you sure are spunky aren't you?" Tyler teases with a charming smile.

Mel nods smiling in return, "The spunkiest."

Tyler looks Mel up and down and bites his lip, "I can get you in touch with Steven. I got his number and everything."

"Ooh! Can I have it?!" asks Mel handing out her hand

"Nah."

"Whyy?" Mel whines shaking her hand that's out.

"Cause then I won't be able to see you again." he imparts as he turns Mel's hand over and kisses her fingers.

She recoils, and sits on her hands, "Well when are we going to call him?" she stammers, "The sooner the better, you know? Eddie and Loren are probably suffering!"

Tyler grins at the thought of this.

Seeing his expression Mel kicks him under the table, "Come'on Tyler! Don't you want your name out thereee?" she persuades.

Tyler sighs, "Yeah, but we'd be better off going to his house."

"You know where he lives?"

"Yeah, we'll head over there tonight." he says biting his lip seductively, "After we eat…" he says lingering his foot up Mel's leg.

She kicks his foot away and looks at her phone.

11:20 Gus and Lisa are going to kill me…

Then Mel get's a text from Adam,

'Mel, wyd? -Adam'

'getting info on Lo. Call u later -Mel'

'Without me? :c -Adam'

'yeah sry. It was a sudden thing, can't talk bye. -Mel'

'wait, what are you doing though? -Adam'

Mel ignores Adam last text and puts her phone away in her purse. She zips it back up and sighs annoyed.

"The boyfriend?" asks Tyler raising an eyebrow.

Mel sits her purse on the table and nods giving a fake annoyed grin.

"Maybe."

Her phone then beeps and Mel's body jolts.

"okay yeah."

Tyler laughs, "You want me to call him and leave you alone?" he offers taking out his phone.

"No. no. no. no!" Mel stops him, "That wont be necessary." she states folding her hands.

Tyler shrugs and looks around.

"where is this waitress?" he complains scoping the place.

As he's turning his head around he runs his foot up Mel's leg once more.

She kicks it away.

Tyler grins creepily and shifts in his seat to look around the other part of the restaurant really determined to find this waitress. His head then stops when he sees Chloe walk in with Oz on her arm.

Chloe's eyes immediately strike at Tyler's. Chloe is star struck and furious, when she recognizes Mel as Loren's little sidekick.

Oz pays no mind to them and neither does Mel.

Tyler is furious seeing his buddy, his boss, his ticket to fame, with the road block that kept him behind all this time.

Mel then sees Chloe and Oz and laughs at Tyler, "hahaha Ooooh! Awkwarrrd!" she teases in a singy-song voice.

Tyler takes Mel's comment as initiative to do something about it.

He then jumps up and grabs Mel's hand.

"Where we going?" she asks as he drags her across Rumor.

Tyler heads right for Chloe who's staring right at him hand on her hip other in Oz's.

Tyler and Mel finally get through the restaurant and in front of Oz and Chloe.

Oz finally recognizes Tyler and grins letting go of Chloe's hand he claps once.

"Ahh! Tyler! Funny meeting you here!" greets Oz amicably.

Tyler ignores Oz and questions Chloe, "What are YOU doing here?!" he yells.

Chloe smirks and grabs Oz's arm, "Just having dinner with a friend." she says cocking her head.

She then looks Mel up and down.

"What are you doing with St. Tate's sidekick?" she offends.

Mel scoffs, "Watch it, toothpick." she warns.

Oz just laughs.

Tyler peers at Oz, "What are you doing with Chloe?" he solicits.

Oz smirks and recoils confused, "what do you mean what am I doing with her? She's my date."

Chloe then cocks her head showing off to Tyler giving him a 'HAHA!' face.

Not knowing what to do Tyler groans. Suddenly, a light bulb lights over his head.

"And she's my date!" he declares grabbing Mel and kissing her hard.

Mel just stands there and takes it awkwardly. Bewildered she just stands there dazed and confused as Tyler gives the 'HAHA!' face right back to Chloe.

Chloe's jaw drops and her eyes conflagrate with jealousy.

"Why don't you and your lovely date just leave." Oz suggests ending the feud.

Mel smiles at Oz and Tyler drags her away, "We were just leaving!" he hollers dragging her out the door.

Chloe shakes her head and Oz guides her to there table.

"What was that about?" Oz asks intrigued.

Chloe bites her lip thinking about it.

Eddie leaves me for a dweeb, Tyler leaves me for a dweeb. What the heck? She thinks.

Chloe shakes her head as she takes her silverware out of her napkin, "nothing." she mumbles.

Oz chuckles, "It's okay if something's still going on with you and Tyler. I'll still let you rent my guest house." he teases.

Chloe runs her hand through her hair, "It's nothing just unfinished business." she assures him.

Oz grins and folds his hands, "Speaking of business, I got a role for you."

Chloe beams, "really?!"

Oz nods, "The lead."

Chloe claps her hands like an excited little girly girl.

"Tell me more." she pleads.

Oz goes on, "I'm making a little mermaid remake, and I want you to be my Ariel."

Chloe ponders at the idea while biting her lip then nods, "I'll take it!" she accepts.

Oz grins and further informs her, "We still got work to do before we start filming, but it's going to be a hit. The next Twilight."

Chloe raises an eyebrow, "Twilight huh? So, who's my on-screen slash off-screen lover?" she asks playfully, "And will I have to sleep with the director like Kristen?" she says leaning towards him.

Oz tilts his head and chuckles, "both are still up for debate.."

Setting: Rumor parking lot:

Tyler is still dragging Mel through the parking lot, but she eventually stops him.

"Where are we going? And why did you kiss me?" she inquires confused and a bit angry, "I have a boyfriend."

Tyler sighs and looks around desperately, "Sorry, I was desperate, and we're going to Steven's to find Loren." he says turning around and walking towards his car alone. He then stops and faces Mel.

"You coming or not?!" he calls out.

"Coming!" she answer scampering to his car.

They both get in and settled. Tyler starts the car and starts driving to Steven's.

Bored, Mel turns on the radio. Ironically, "Something In The Air" plays by Eddie Duran. Mel's eyes pop and she quickly shuts it off awkwardly, because Tyler hates Eddie.

"Soooo.." Mel goes on trying to break the silence, "Where's this guys house?"

"His place is like 5 minutes away from mine" he then looks at Mel and winks, "I can take you there too."

Mel looks out the car window awkwardly, "Still have a boyfriendddd." she says in a singy-song voice.

Tyler laughs at her innocence and puts his attention back to the road. But, unable to get it off the mysterious girl sitting in his passengers seat he glances over at her.

"So, Mel. Tell me about your self." he requests.

Mel looks over at Tyler who's looking at her smiling charmingly. She rolls her eyes and looks forward.

"Uhmm well I'm.." she ponders, "God, who am I? uhm Okay. My name is Melissa Sanders. I'm gonna become a famous director and-"

She leans over to Tyler and yells in his ear, "I have a boyfriend!"

She sits back in her seat and smiles, satisfied with herself.

Tyler shakes his head and grins, "Who are you trying to convince? Me, or yourself?"

Mel scoffs, "Oh put a sock in it."

Tyler returns to the road and a few minutes of silence go by before Tyler tries again.

"So is this boyfriend, better looking then me?" He asks

Hahahah, no . Mel thinks smiling.

"You got a picture?" he goes on.

Mel takes out her phone and goes through her pictures looking for one of Adam.

This guy doesn't quit does he?

Mel then shows the picture to Tyler and he smirks, "No I want to see a picture of your boyfriend, not the kid you baby-sit." he teases.

Mel rolls her eyes and puts her phone in her purse.

"Shut up, he's perfect." she mumbles.

"Nah, a girl like you needs a man."

"Oh, I need a man?" she reiterates.

Tyler nods, "You need to get out of the car too, we're here."

Mel notices they had parked and gets out of the car and goes around to Tyler's side.

"Lead the way, captain." she commands.

Tyler nods and starts walking down the sidewalk.

It was abnormally chilly outside and Mel had goose bumps.

Tyler looks to his side and sees this, "your cold?" he asks.

Mel nods, "freezing." she answers rubbing her arms.

"My place is warm," he persuades," it's on the way to Steven's too."

Mel shakes her head and throws her arms to her sides, "Suddenly not cold."

Tyler snaps his fingers and continues walking.

Charming, a bit creepy, but charming. And defiantly cute.

They actually do pass Tyler's and he points to the main doors of his building, "Last chance, it's right there." he informs.

Mel shakes her head and they keep walking.

"It's not my last chance, there's still the way back." she teases.

Tyler grins and suddenly he stops in front a large apartment building.

"Here." he tells her.

Mel walks up to the main doors, "No bellhop? No intercom? What's the deal?" she judges.

"Not everybody lives in a penthouse like Eddie." he groans, "come on." he says guiding her in.

To make it even more ghetto the elevators were out of order and they had to use the stairs.

Mel went in front of Tyler up the stairs and he looked at her butt the whole time.

Luckily, Steven only lived on the 3rd floor and they got there in no time.

Tyler guided Mel to apartment 38 and she pounded on the door three times.

Tyler laughed and took her hand away from the door.

"Reminder, It's like midnight spunky, he thinks we're either cops or a dealer."

"oh"

Steven finally opens his door and he's half asleep in a pink robe, "Tyler?" he asks rubbing his eyes, "What could you possibly want? Jake's dead."

"That's what I'm here about. I was wondering if you had any confirmations or information on Loren's flight."

Mel raises an eyebrow confused with Tyler's nice-ness and butts in, "actually, we know you have something, you know everything that happens in that office, spill it." she commands.

Tyler smiles and nods impressed, Steven just rolls his eyes.

He walks back into the apartment and takes out a key from a side table. He mopes back over to Tyler and Mel. He tosses the keys at Tyler's chest.

"Look around, take everything, burn the place down, I don't care. Either way I'm unemployed." He groans before slamming the door.

Tyler bends down and picks up the keys and hands them to Mel.

"Oh okay." she says awkwardly to Steven's little hissy-fit.

"Yeah that was weird."

"right?"

"yeah."

They stop their little small comment talk and go back down stairs.

They walk back to Tyler's car talking about stupid little things when Tyler stops in front of his building.

He gestures to it, and shows it off like he's a model in The Price Is Right.

Mel arches her eyebrows and nods, "Oh deffinatly." she says hooked and walks towards the buildings main doors.

"really?" asks Tyler excited.

Mel stops in her tracks and turns around cracking up, walking away. "hahahah no way, buddy."

She was just joking.

Tyler's jaw drops and he scoffs, "you just played me!" he accuses, "Im the player! I don't get played!" he explains playfully following Mel back to the car.

Mel stops abruptly and spins around. She caresses Tyler's chin and smirks, "looks like you have just met your match, Mr. Rorke." she says turning back around and strutting back to his car.

"I know! Wait!" he calls out, chasing after her.

He then grabs Mel's hand and pulls her close against him, "define match.." he says in a low seductive voice.

Mel bites her lip and thinks, What are you doing Mel? You naughty naughty girl. Your flirting with the enemy. An enemy of Loren's is an enemy of mine, right? Not right? Maybe right? Maybe it doesn't matter? Maybe it does? Maybe you have a boyfriend who's giving up his dream school for you? Maybe you should stop thinking cause now your just awkwardly staring at the guy, biting yout lip. Aha.

Mel shakes her head and breaks from Tyler's grasp.

"Match as in counterpart…" she mumbles walking back to the car.

Get a grip, Mel. You're not a Chloe.

Tyler sighs and follows Mel in silence.

They get in the car and get settled.

"So where do you live?" he asks pulling out into the road.

"Just drop me off at Rumor, I need to get my car." he mumbles looking out the window.

"Yes ma'am." he says riding down the highway.

"So when are we going to Jake's?" He asks glancing over at Mel who is fiddling with the keys.

"I'm going tomarrow morning. I gotta get home, like no lie." she tells him.

"Oh well call me when you head over there, I'll join you." he offers grinning.

"kay.." Mel lies.

Yeah right, I'm staying as far away from this guy as possible.

They ride in silence until Tyler drives into Rumor parking lot.

"It was nice seeing you. I look forward on our little adventure." Tyler charms aiming to grab Mel's hand.

But Mel was too quick, she moved her hand and got out of the car like a lightning bolt.

"Likewise." she mumbles slamming the car door.

Tyler watches her walk to her car, get in, and drive away.

"She's a feisty little one." Tyler says to himself and then pulls away.

He drives home with nothing to do, and stumbles into his apartment. He throws his car keys on the counter and stops when the last thing he wants to see is sitting on his couch.

"Hello, Tyler." says Chloe lounging on the couch, "what took you so long to get here? I thought you'd be here by now fucking your little groupie."

Tyler shakes his head disappointed.

"What are you doing here, Chloe?" He asks.

Chloe goes from creepy girl waiting in his apartment mode to pissed off ex about to blow up hit apartment mode.

She sits up on the couch and gives Tyler a disgusted look, "Why were you with that Melony girl? Did you just forget about me that easily?" she asks hurt.

Tyler sighs painfully and sits down next to Chloe.

"No, I could never forget about you…" he says patting her knee, "And her name is Melissa."

"Ulch whatever." Chloe groans folding her arms, "you're seeing her now? Way to upgrade, Tyler."

Tyler laughs not believing his ears, "oh we're talking about who's seeing who, now? What the hell were you doing with Ozborne Silver? My boss!"

Chloe laughs, "he's my boss now too baby."

Tyler gets up chuckling, he walks around his apartment aggravated, "wow Chlo, you're really that thick? I never seen you as a dumb blonde."

Chloe jumps up offended and follows Tyler, "What do you mean?"

Tyler turns around and points to her, "Once he gets in your little candy pants, the only work you're going to be doing is getting him his coffee."

Chloe laughs, "says his assistants bar-tender!"

Tyler's mouth drops.

She's never gonna let that go huh? he thinks.

He groans, "What are you even doing here? I dumped you! I'm ignoring you, leave!" he commands pointing to the door."

Chloe's face drops and she gets serious and sad. She lowers Tyler's hand and holds it.

"Seriously, I need your help Ty. Big time." she utters melancholy.

Tyler looks down at his former love-of-his-life's hand and his and sighs.

You know you still love her Tyler.. he thinks.

"What?" he groans looking up at her glassy blue eyes.

Chloe sighs and pulls him over to the couch. They both sit down.

"I need a friend, a trusted friend, an alibi…" she says in a low scared voice looking up at Tyler.

Tyler looks in her eyes and his heart drops to his stomach. He knew that look. It was the same look on her face when she killed Kaity..

Tyler lets go of her hand disgusted. He looks her up and down.

"What did you do Chloe?" he says getting up and away from her.

Chloe rubs her eyes, "It wasn't just me, It was that Leah girl!"

"What did you-" Tyler begins asking before he relizes it.

I don't know how. Or why. But Chloe took down Eddie's Plane.

"CHLOE!" he yells scolding her.

She begins to cry.

"I know! I know!" she moans between heavy sobs.

Tyler goes on walking up to Chloe, "I can see Loren, but Jake? Max? Eddie?"

Tyler runs his hand through his hair laughing because it's unbelievable.

"Eddie?! Out of why people why would you kill Eddie!" he asks then looks directly at Chloe, "you got to stop killing people!" he scolds.

Chloe sniffles, "I know, I know. But, I didn't know Eddie, and Max and them were going to be on there. She said just Loren."

Tyler recoils confused, "she, she. Who's this Leah?" he says sticking his hands in his pockets.

Chloe shakes her head, "I don't know some crazy girl I found looking through stuff in Jake's office. I asked what she was doing and she just confessed everything like a scared little girl. She drugged Loren's pilots and she was about to call the jet company and tell them to go west instead of east so the plane would be lost in the ocean after it went down."

Chloe starts sobbing again, "I took the phone and called the jet company. I killed Eddie! I killed them all!" she utters while crying.

Tyler sits down next to Chloe and rests his head in his hands.

"Chloe," he mumbles, thinking out-loud, "Chloe, I love you to death. I will never love anybody as much as I love you. But I can't do this anymore. It's too much. Your ruining both our lives. I thought I could keep away from you but I can't. I should have kicked you out the second I saw you-"

"But Ty!" she butts in sobbing.

"LET ME FINISH!" he yells at her before going on, "The second I saw you, I should have made you leave but I didn't. I love you so much. This is why I need to this…"

"Do what?"

Tyler then takes his phone out of his pocket and shows her he had been voice recording her entire confession.

She gasps while he continues, "I need you far away from me Chloe. I won't be responsible for your murders anymore..I love you and I will keep taking you back….that's why I need you locked up…"

Chloe arches her eyebrows confused and sheds another tear.

She then shakes it off and tackles Tyler trying to get his phone, "Tyler! Give it! Don't do this!" She pleads.

"Back off!" he defends trying to get away from her.

Afraid she's going to get the phone he sends the recording to the only person he can trust right now, Mel.

He waits till it sends and hands the phone to Chloe acting like he surrendors.

She smiles and deletes the recording.

She looks up and down giving Tyler a disgusted look, "I thought I could trust you.." she groans walking out his door.

"I thought you were sane!" He yells down the hallway before shutting the door.

He knew Chloe was going straight to Oz's. And he knew Mel would call the cops and they would just be waiting for her at Oz's.

Tyler tried to see the light in this. The light that he would bust Chloe and become famous. The light that she would finnaly be out of his hair.

But deep down, he still loved Chloe. His heart was still sore, but he knew it was for the best.

He sauntered over to his bed and threw himself on it.

He closed his eyes and tried to do everything in his power to stop thinking about Chloe. He tried thinking about the excitement of becoming famous, the excitement of no more Eddie, but then he remembered Chloe was the reason for all of them.

The only topic to keep his racing mind and pounding heart off Chloe, was a new excitement. The excitement of meeting, Mel.

Setting: Mel's house.

It's pouring rain outside and Mel swings open the front door not caring it's 1 o'clock in the morning.

Ofcourse, Lisa was sitting on the couch waiting for her.

She jumps up and peers over at her irresponsible daughter, "And where were you, Melissa?" she interrogates.

Mel roles her eyes, and shuts the door.

"Oh you know, jumping in rain puddles." she groans walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.

Lisa follows her, "It's the middle of the night where were you?! And why are you dressed like that?!" she yells at the door.

Mel walks out of the bathroom in grey sweatpants and a hot pink t-shirt, with pink slippers. She brushing her soaking wet hair.

She walks over to the couch, "I was with Tyler Rorke, trying to find some info on Loren's plane." she mumbles sitting down.

Lisa sits down beside her, "Well it's a good thing you're doing but you shouldn't be out this late, especially without calling! I called you 27 times!"

Mel raises an eyebrow, "27? Wow Mom, that's a new record."

Lisa sighs and laughs a bit, "and you didn't answer why?"

Mel takes her phone out of her pocket and shows it to her mom with a puppy dog face.

"Sally died." she groans petting her poor phone, "she died after I showed Tyler a picture of Adam. See! I'm a good girl. I told him I had a boyfriend!" she tried convincing her mother. Even though she was really convincing herself.

"I'm sorry, mom." she apologized, then hugged Lisa.

Lisa rolled her eyes, and unwillingly forgave her, "It's okay, since you were trying to help Loren."

Mel nodded and got up, "Yeah well, Im going to bed, Sally won't be alive for a few hours so I might as well sleep too." she explained heading up the stairs.

"Why don't you just use you laptop?" asked Lisa.

"Blehhhh!" Mel groaned walking up the steps into her room.

She plugged in her phone and shut off the light to go to sleep.

I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. I don't like Tyler. She thought over and over in her head.
