The start of the Mel-Adam drama is here, maybe some of you have read between the lines of where it's going but you never know what I can throw in there. Anyway in this chapter they will start to figure out what happened that night.
LAST CHAPTER ENDED WITH:
Loren: "This is not good.. not at all" She said as she scrolled down her phone of pictures from the previous night. "I think I know why he might be upset Mel... Have you seen the fifth photo yet?"
Mel: "No, what is it..? Oh No, I'm so dead.."
Eddie: "What is it?" He asked and looked over at Loren's phone.
Loren: "I'm pretty sure that this wasn't as bad as it looks.." She said as her eyes wandered between Melissa and Ian.
Ian: "What is?" He said and Loren turned her phone so Ian could see. "And why is this so bad?"
Mel: She had sat there staring at her phone for a few moments before she spoke again. "Adam is never gonna speak to me again, that's why!" Ian looked confused.
Loren: "Her boyfriend..." She said as an explanation.
Ian: He felt the guilt wash over his body. Of course she has a boyfriend, why didn't she just tell me? I could have stopped it or done something to change the outcome.
Mel: "I need to talk to him Lo" She said as a tear made it's way down her cheek.
Loren: "I know, you should call him and then we can drop you off at his house in a few minutes."
Eddie: "Loren, we have a to meet Jake and Kelly at 10 so we can maybe drop her of after the meeting?"
Mel: "I don't believe that he will even let me in so I think that I'll just stay here until you're back and just keep calling him."
Loren: "Are you sure?"
Mel: "Yeah, I'll be okay Lo. I'm just worried about how it's gonna be at school with Adam hating me"
Loren: "He's not gonna hate you Mel! You guys are perfect together and he will be a fool to let some stupid pictures ruin that!" Even though I'm sure that more happened than what the pictures can tell.
Mel: "It was gonna end when he went away for NYU anyway.. I just didn't want it to end like this..."
Loren: "It's not over yet, you'll get through this just like you've gotten through everything else that has happened. You'll see!"
Mel: "This is not the same as long-lost aunt turned bio-mom Lo!"
Ian: "That sounded like a lot more than some hot dance moves and..." He didn't finish up as he regretted the words as they were coming out of his mouth.
Mel: "Just shut up Ian!"
Eddie: Something else besides what's on the pictures must have happened. I mean, They were only dancing and looking really into each other but nothing that would indicate that she cheated. Something else must be going on.
Mel: "He's gonna think that I did all of this to make him jealous and upset after the whole college fight.."
Loren: "Just try talking to him, he'll come around. He's Adam and he loves you." She said and stroked Mel's back.
Eddie: "Not that I wanna do this but we need to get ready because we have to be at the office in thirty minutes."
Mel: "I'll be fine Lo, I always am. Now go" She said and forced a smile to reassure Loren that she can go.
Loren: "Okay, we'll hurry back and then we can figure something out." She said and gave Melissa a hug before she went to get dressed.
After about fifteen minutes Loren came out of the bedroom ready to go.
Loren: "Are you sure that you'll be okay?"
Mel: "Yes, I told you! now go!" She said and gave her a real smile.
Ian: "I'll make sure she's fine, don't worry."
Eddie: "Thanks man, we'll be back in an hour and a half."
Mel: "Bye!" She said as the door closed.
Mel kept calling Adam over and over again for twenty minutes before taking a break. Ian had just been sitting on the couch trying to calm Mel down.
Mel: "This is pointless, he's never gonna pick up.."
Ian: "Don't think that, he will have to talk you at some point. Can I just ask one thing?."
Mel: "Thanks Ian, sorry for yelling at you before. Sure!"
Ian: "Is it over between you two anyways? I mean you said that he was moving away and all that." He said and looked down at his feet.
Mel: "I believe so, It's just that I love him and that doesn't go away just because he's moving away."
Ian: "So should we talk about last night or..?" He said and looked into her eyes.
Mel: "I don't know Ian, can we take it later.. with everything else going on I don't really know what to say"
Ian: "It's okay, I just want to talk about it at some point... lo.." He was gonna say love like he always does but considering what's going on he cut himself of.
Mel: "I need to get my head out of this.. can we try to figure out what happened last night instead?" She said and smiled.
Ian: "Sure, we can do like in the hangover and retrace our steps."
Mel: "Exactly! So MK?"
Ian: "Let's go!" He said and walked to the door with Mel close behind.
Loren and Eddie in the car:
Eddie: "I'm no the only one who think that something else happened between those two last night, right?"
Loren: "No, I think that there might have been some kissing but Mel would never let it go further than that... At least not the Mel that I know."
Eddie: "But I know Ian and I'm not so sure that he has changed as much as he thinks. It's not easy to go from player one night and thinking of settling down the next.."
Loren: "Wait.. Ian settling down? are you sure that you're still not drunk from last night?"
Eddie: "No I'm serious, we talked about it when you guys were getting ready last night. I didn't believe it either but he seemed pretty serious about it."
Loren: "Wow, I didn't expect that.. especially not from Ian of all people." She said as they pulled up outside the office building.
Eddie: "How chocked do you think I was when he's my best friend and I never saw it coming. Honestly, I don't think that he expected it either."
Loren: "Huh, Now this can be interesting..."
Eddie: "What can?"
Loren: "This whole Ian and Mel thing. But we can take that later cause we are dropping this so that Jake doesn't kill us for something more than just last night.."
Eddie: "I'm so gonna hold you to that!" He said as they entered the office.
Ian and Mel pulled up at MK.
Ian: "Are you sure you wanna know what happened?"
Mel: "It's not like I can find out something that's gonna make this even worse so.."
Ian: "Good, cause I don't want you backing out halfway into this."
Mel: "Me backing out? You do know who you're talking to right?" She said and laughed for the first time that felt like day ago.
Ian: Laughed as they entered MK. "Max? Grace?" No answer.
Mel: "We should check the apartment and backstage."
Ian: "Ladies first" he said and gestured her to enter the stairs before him.
Mel: "Well thank you" She said and smiled at him.
They knocked on the door with no answer so they went back down stairs to check backstage. It was dark and quiet as they made their way through the corridor.
Mel: "I have a bad feeling about this.."
Ian: "It's okay, I got your back love" He said, this time with no regret and let that smile out again.
Mel stopped abruptly and felt Ian walk into her.
Ian: "Are you okay? Why'd you stop?" He said and turned her around so she faced him.
Mel: "I though I heard something.. But I guess it was nothing." She said and looked up at him realizing that they were only inches away from each other. She kept her eyes looked to his, trying not to let them wander down to his lip. I shouldn't do this... I shouldn't! but I don't know what it is that keeps pulling me towards him.
Ian: He felt the heat build up between them and by habit he put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. I don't care in how many ways this is wrong, I have to.. he thought as he started to lean in.
Mel: I can't believe that I'm doing this, was her thoughts as she also leaned in.
Their lip collided softly but it didn't took long before it picked up speed and turned into a hot and heavy make-out session. After about ten minutes they heard someone clear their throat just a few feet away and they both pulled away, turning to the person. They could see the mans face do to the darkness surrounding them.
Person: "This wasn't something I expected to see."
Jake: "Eduardo! Loren, good to see that you guys are alive after last night..." He said with a concerned look on his face.
Eddie: "We had to celebrate so much and it just got a little out of hand, but nothing major. So relax man"
Kelly: "Celebrate what?" She said with curiosity.
Loren: "An amazing weekend, having my boyfriend back and the fact that Chloe chocked us with an apology and news that she's moving to New York.."
Jake: "Really? Okay, that truly is something to celebrate" He said and let out a smile.
Kelly: "Let's get on to the business part okay? I don't think that you wanna sit here all day so.."
Eddie: "Great, so the tour.."
Jake: "Yes! So this is for both of you guys, Loren is opening and Eddie will close up the shows. The first thought was to have Leah and Jeremy join the tour but from what I've heard that might not be such a good idea.." He finished up and looked over at Loren.
Loren: "I just don't want her there, she totally trashed me after the show in New York and she has this vibe that keeps getting to me."
Kelly: "Listen Loren, they don't have to come with if you're not comfortable with it. It's your tour so."
Eddie: "Good, I actually have an idea that I was thinking about when I was away.."
Jake: "Alright, let's hear it man"
Eddie: "So everyone loved the duet me and Loren did together at MK so I was thinking that we can put some song in the setlist where we sing as a duet. What do you say?"
Kelly: "I think that would be great, the crowd loves you together so that would just be.." She got cut of by Jake.
Jake: "I don't know man.. There is way to much to be done for your own setlist since you have about three new songs and adding some duets to that long list is to much man."
Eddie: "I can do it, plus I have Loren to write them with me so it will go faster and better than if I'm gonna do it on my own."
Loren: "I'm gonna have to be able to make it too Eddie, I only have half an album right now and this is all new to me."
Jake: "That's what I'm saying, there is way to much work to put in and very little time to do it. That's it."
Eddie: "We can do it, trust me. We can both put in two duets each on our own albums to reduce the work load and still have full albums and have our duets."
Loren: "Are you sure?"
Eddie: "Yes, I'm sure. I told you that we would do a duet together and now we will have more than one almost every night for six months."
Jake: "That I can work with.. as long as you're sure that you guys can do this?"
Kelly: "They can Jake, trust me on this one. If anyone is gonna make this epic it's them so"
Jake: "Fine, two duets per album it is. Now let's talk cities..."
I now the cliffhanger isn't in the last part but there's still a cliffhanger in there. Who is this man? Adam is make his way into the story more in the next chapter and more of the night will be reviled! At least that's the plan. I hope you guys enjoyed it and stay tuned for more drama in a day or two. I have a break this week so there will hopefully be more updates but I can't promise anything cuz I have so much school work to do, but I love writing this story so I will make some time for it. I will be posting my new story that has a twist from the original this week to so keep an eye out for that one too!
Peace!
