Hey guys! Sorry I have not updated in about 2 weeks! I have been really busy with basketball, school, my music and hanging out with friends! But here is some more!

Disclaimer: as u know, I don't own any of the characters or the show, just my story!

Saturday afternoon: oh yeah, I have not really enforced this in my other chapters, but Lucas has a thing for Mel, and Mel secretly likes him too.

Mel woke up around 1:00, realizing where she was. She realized all that she had thought about in her sleep was not a dream, but a new great life she was beginning. She walks downstairs only to find her phone blinking with 6 missed calls. As she looked at the numbers, she found one from Haley, one from Nathan, one from Brooke, and 2 from Lucas, and 1 missed call from her boyfriend in Nashville, Austin.

Mel calls Brooke back to find out what she needed first:

Mel: hey Brooke! Its me, Mel. I just saw you had called me, so I was returning your call.

Brooke: yeah. Well, anyways, we have reorganized the room arrangements. You will be driving with whoever you room with since we are bringing 4 cars.

Mel: go ahead and shoot out your ideas

Brooke: ok. So I was thinking, You and Lucas are together; Tim and I are together; Nathan and Haley are together; Jake and Peyton are together.

Mel: ok! Sounds great! You must promise not to tell him I like him though!

Brooke: so you finally admit it! Wait, what about this Austin guy? Are you still together?

Mel: oh my god! I totally forgot about him! I am in deep guy trouble now! ( mel hears a beep on her phone), umm.. . hang on brooke! Someone is beeping in. I will call you back in about 5 min!

Brooke: alright! Love ya babe!

Mel: dido!

(mel switches lines)

Mel: hello?

Austin: Hey babe!

Mel: hey Lucas! I was just about to call you!

Austin: Lucas? This is Austin Mel! What are you doing over there anyways? Going around picking up guys in this new town b/c you don't think I would find out?

Mel: I am so sorry Austin, its just...

Austin: save it bitch. We are through! I mean it too! I don't want to hear your excuses, just please leave me alone. You know I loved you.
Austin hangs up on her, and Mel just starts crying. She gets in her car, and drives to the only place she can remember where is located.

Mel pulls up into Lucas's driveway, gets out and runs to the door. Lucas was looking out the window and sees her so he lets her in.

Lucas: hey Mel! I was not expecting you!

Mel: yeah, sorry. Its just... just.. (she cant finish, and begins sobbing again)

Lucas: its alright Mel, just rest on me, I wont let anyone hurt you. You are safe with me.

Mel: Thanks Lucas! You are awesome!

Lucas: no problem. Mel, I would do anything for you. I think, I think I am falling for you.

At this, Mel and Lucas look deep into each others eyes, but realize what awful timing this is to be all romantic, and break the stare.

After about 10 min of sitting in Lucas's arms, she sits up looking into his eyes again. Her face is a little wet from tears.

Lucas: here, let me get that for you. Don't cry, mel. I am here. (he wipes her last tear)

Mel begins to get up and leave when Lucas stops her.

Lucas: Mel, are you alright? I don't even know what happens. I hate to see you upset though. Come, sit and tell me.

Mel: It would kind of be a little weird telling you this, but ok.

Mel and Lucas walk back into Lucas's house and head up to his bedroom. They sit on his bed, hand in hand, and Mel is sitting on Lucas's lap when she begins to speak.

Mel: So I just get off the phone with Brooke and she finishes telling me she has decided to room us together, and I get really excited. We are going to be road buddies, if you have not yet heard.

Lucas: no, I had not. That just makes my day better though. I am really excited now! Keep going though.

Mel: ok. So I am talking to her about the trip and how excited I am to room with you when someone beeps in. I didn't even think to look at caller id. So I answer the phone and it is a guys voice, and he says to me, "hey babe!" and I say back, "Hey Lucas! I was just about to call you!" because I saw you had called me this morning and I had missed you calls. He replies by saying he is Austin, you know, the boyfriend I had in Nashville.

Lucas: oh yeah. I guess that means we don't really have a chance to be together now.

Mel: well, anyways, he gets upset, and breaks up with me. So now, we do have a chance, but I guess I was just in shock and a little in the dumps b/c we were going out for so long. I used to really love him before we came here. Now, I don't even think of him!

Lucas: why did you think it was me?

Mel: I don't know. I guess maybe b/c I as just hoping, and I was just thinking about u and I, and how I was really hoping we had a chance together.

Lucas: yeah, well I don't want to sound selfish or anything, but I am glad you said that about me to him on the phone. If you hadn't, you wouldn't be single on this trip, and who knows. Maybe we wouldn't be able to hook up or anything anytime.

Mel: yeah. I just need some time now. I need to go home and sort things out and finish packing. I guess I will see you tomorrow though! Bye Lucas! Thanks for everything! You are an awesome guy! Honestly!

Lucas: Bye Mel! I cant wait until tomorrow!
Before either realized what they were doing, they leaned in and shared a long, passionate kiss. Lucas broke this kiss, and noticed the both of them were blushing. She turns around, and walks out to her car.

Mel pulls out her cell phone, and calls Brooke back right away.

Brooke: hey Mel! I thought you would never call me back!

Mel: sorry! I just left Lucas's house.

Brooke: ok. Spill! Something had to have happened!

Mel: alright.. well, it all started when I got off the phone with you, and.....
Mel tells the whole story, and they talk for another hour or so, and before they realize it, they are leaving in 12 hours for the trip, so they hang up awaiting the next exciting day!

Keep going? It should get better, but I don't know. Any ideas for the upcoming chapters? Please review!!
