Ch. 8 : The Upset

The meeting went on as usual. They discussed the things that had happened since there last meeting two weeks ago. Throughout the entire meeting Melanie couldn't keep her eyes off Lars.

After the meeting Melanie walked over to Lars with a big innocent smile on her face.

Melanie: *acting ditzy* "Umm...Hi. "

Lars: " Hi, so you new around here? "

Melanie: " Yeah we just moved here three weeks ago. "

Lars: " Oh...well I really should be getting home now, hey! I got an idea why don't you come to my house, I can introduce you to my brother and my girlfriend! "

Melanie: " That sounds great. " -He has a girlfriend? *she smiles evilly...* not for long...-

Lars: " Ok well.. we will have to walk... "

Melanie: " That's fine with me. "

The two walked in the direction of Lars' house, Melanie made sure to 'accidentally' bump into Lars' shoulder a few times along the way.

~ 20 minutes later ~

Lars: " Twister! Where are you? I got someone I want you to meet! "

Twister: *rolling his chair in from the deck in the back yard* "Yeah? "

Lars: " Twister this is Melanie.. Melanie this is my brother Twister. "

Melanie: " Hi ...so Lars where is your girlfriend? "

Just at that moment someone started banging on the door. It was Otto, he was nearly in tears, breathing hard, his face was red.

Twister: " What's wrong bro? You look like you just ran a marathon or something. "

Otto: *ignoring Twist* " Lars! Its Reggie she ran away! "

Lars: " What?! "

Otto: *handing him the note* "I dunno where she went. "

Lars: " I gotta go find her! I'll be back soon! "

Melanie: " I'll come with you! "

They decided they would search near the beach, but there was no sign of her, they tried mad town, the pier and everywhere else they could think of.

Lars realized that the only thing left to do was to go and tell Ray at the shack, even though Ray wasn't too happy with him right now.

Little did Lars know Reggie was at the hotel not far from the shack and just happened to be walking over to the vending machine to get a snack. She heard Melanie giggling. She looked over and saw Lars and another girl.

- This can't be happening. It hasn't even been a day and he's with another girl?? - Reggie burst into tears she ran back to her room the tears made her eyes blurry, she ran into a women.

Reggie now on the ground crying, she pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them tightly. She wiped the tears away from her eyes and looked up at the person she had ran into.

Reggie: *sniffleing* " I'm sorry... I....I..." *Her eyes widened in shock at who was standing in front of her. *

A/N: Wonder who it could be. Hehe :)
