Chapter 3: Maybe This Time Around
"I guess I wasn't meant to tell him today." Melfina said as she got up from the kitchen table. She walked over to the stove and began to clean up the scraps left over from breakfast.
"Well if I'm not supposed to tell him now then when will I ever tell him?" Melfina said as she sighed and walked into her room.
"Maybe if I sleep a little more I would feel better." Said Melfina as she crept into her bed and fell asleep.

"JIM WAIT!!!, SLOW DOWN! I'M SORRY!" Gene said as he ran down the street.
Jim finally slowed down to catch his breathe and looked at Gene angrily. Finally Gene caught up with him and grabbed his arm.
Jim said angrily, "Why aren't you with Melfina huh? I thought she was more important than me."
Gene responded, "Hey! Jim don't think that way. I was just mad because every time I went to go tell Melfina something important someone would interrupt me. I just got frustrated, that's all. I'm sorry Jim, I really am."
Jim looked at Gene for a while. Finally he responded and said, "Are you really sorry Gene?"
"Yes of course I am."
"Well I guess I can forgive you, but only if…"
"Only if what?"
"Only… if you treat me for some lunch!"
"Sure buddy whatever you want."
Gene laughed to himself and walked Jim to the nearest diner.
They walked inside where they saw Aisha. She was eating like a cow as usual. She had food flying out of her mouth and some how continued eating like she usually does.
"Oh man. Gene I think I just lost my appetite." Jim said as he walked out the door.
"Yea me too."
They both walked back home and sat down in the living room.
"Hey Gene why don't you go find Mel and talk to her. I don't care. I can sit here and watch TV. I wouldn't mind one bit." Jim said as he smiled devilishly.
"I'm sure you wouldn't." Gene said as he looked around for Melfina.
"Where is this girl? There's only so many places she can go."
Finally, Gene saw the door of Melfina's room slightly ajar and inside was Melfina sleeping quietly on her bed.
"Maybe I shouldn't wake her up. She looks fast asleep." Gene said as he walked away and went outside.
He sat alone. He thought to himself about many things. Then, suddenly he heard the grass bristle behind him. He looked behind him and saw no one. He looked back and there was Melfina, smiling as she usually does.
"Hey there Gene. I heard someone pass my room. Was that you?" Melfina said.
Gene replied, "Oh yea… sorry if I woke you up. How did you find me anyway?"
"Well this is where I go when something is bothering me and I just happened to find you here so I didn't exactly find you on purpose." Melfina replied.
"What's the matter Mel?"
"Well I have to tell you something very important and it isn't the easiest thing to say." Melfina said as Gene grasped her hand.
"Don't worry Mel, you can tell me anything."
" Well, lately I have been receiving these messages. I'm not sure who sent them or how they even reached me but they all tell me I have to return to the Galactic Layline. They also say at the end that if I don't something dreadful would happen to you."
"To me? Why the hell would someone want to do that to me?"
"I don't know Gene but I don't want anything to happen to you. You mean so much to me. You are my hero. I love you." Melfina said and was taken back by what she had just said.
Gene was shocked and couldn't talk. It was like someone had taken the breath from him.
Finally Gene said, "Mel, you love me?"
"Yes I guess I do Gene."
"Wow Melfina I don't know what to say. This is such a surprise. But well the news I was going to tell you was along the same lines…"
"What do you mean?"
"Well Melfina, during my whole entire trip I could not stop thinking about you. I am closer with no one else but you. I can really relate to you. Last night I had a dream that we got married and for once I wanted that dream to come true. Mel I love you."
Both of them looked at eachother for a while. They had no need to talk because they can read eachothers thoughts like they were soulmates. They both knew that in that one moment they were meant to be together and not even destiny could keep them apart. They loved eachother and that was all that mattered.
