Chapter 13. Why Not
Flashback (same day as 'Party Up', picks up when Melina leaves the McGuire's house after kissing Matt):
Matt shut the door close and ran after Melina. She was almost a block ahead by now.
"Melina!" he called. She heard him, but acted like she hadn't. He noticed it and ran faster, finally getting closer. He grabbed her arm and made her turn. She looked at him, impatient. Her icy blue eyes stared into his brown ones, expecting. "I-…" Matt looked down, nervous.
"Matt, I won't wait forever," she said, right before getting out of his grip and running away. He stood there for a couple of minutes, in which she made it to her house. He got back to his senses and ran again, to find her sobbing lightly.
"Mel?" he said. She looked to the other side. He sat next to her and grabbed her face, so she would look at him straight in the eyes. "Mel?" he tried again.
"I thought you liked me!" she cried. He looked down. "Now I know you don't… We are moving to LA" he looked at her, surprised. "My dad got a job. We're leaving tonight. I'll miss you" she hugged him and ran inside. He stood there, shocked.
The next day:
"Melina!" Mrs. Bianco called her elder daughter. "There's a boy here in the door for you… did you already make friends?" Melina shook her head, surprised. Her long blonde hair was down and she was wearing a light blue dress. She went to the door and saw a head with spiky brown hair and those brown eyes she knew so well.
"…Matt?" she whispered. He looked up, smiled, ran to her and kissed her. She kissed back, closing her eyes. "It took you long," she pouted. He smiled and kissed the tip of her nose.
"Better late than never," he replied. She rolled her eyes.
"You know, you sound smarter when you're quiet," she joked. "I prefer you quiet"
"And I prefer us this way," he said, pulling her in for another kiss. Her eyes glowed and they heard some giggles. They both turned around and saw Melina's little sister, Tammy (5) looking at them.
"What made you come?" she asked. He looked her in the eye.
"I realized I couldn't lose the girl I love," he said. She closed her eyes.
"I like it when you say that…" she said. "I love you too"
"You're my girl…" he whispered in her ear.
End of flashback.
"Do you, Matthew Thomas McGuire take Melina Jane Bianco as your wife?" Matt smiled at his radiant bride.
"I do," he replied.
"Melina Jane Bianco, do you take Matthew Thomas McGuire as your husband?" Melina smiled back.
"I do," she replied as well.
"And now I pronounce you husband and wife," the priest announced. "You may kiss the bride" They kissed immediately, at the same time the claps were heard in all the church.
End of chapter.
"You think you're going nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet
Why you wanna be like that
As if there's nothing new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you
So I walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by
There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right
(So) Why Not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
Why Not take a crazy chance X2
You always dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
You keeping waiting where you are
For what, you'll never know
Lets just get in to your car
And go, baby go
(So) Why Not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not
Oh...oh
I could be the one for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes
Maybe no
Oh... oh
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know
You'll never get to heaven or even to L.A
If you don't believe me there's a way
Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But... why not
Why not
(So) Why Not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not"
