Mel and Jake
Melanie was at home alone, Gabby was at school, even though Ellie called her at least once a day Mel still felt empty as if part of her was missing which in a way it was. Mel knew that Ellie was just like her, she loved Alabama it was her home more than New York had ever been Gabby was the same but she was too young to be away from her mum. Melanie was sitting listening to one of Ellie's CD's that she had left.
"Out of sight, out of mind
That's what they all say,
But I learned that aint the truth with you and me babe"
Melanie thought about Jake even 8 years after she had left him she still thought of him every single day.
"Time can't change a good thing,
Lovin you is something I still feel
You'll always be my baby"
Mel remembered the night she saw Jake with that woman Suzi, she had felt not jealous but that Jake was hers and how dare this other woman touch him and kiss him.
"Remember we were lovin' every single night,
You gave me all the love I need to survive
And each and every day I'd only dream of you
And every single thing we would do"
Mel remembered how she had felt about Jake when they were in high school, he was her best friend and her boyfriend she had thought he was perfect and that he would be everything she would ever want and need. Mel smiled as she thought of them both back then.
"These days I find myself remembering what we had"
Mel laughed out loud at this, that was exactly what she was doing now.
"The love we had, the love we made"
Mel thought of her and Jake's two beautiful daughters.The sex she had with Jake was also amazing.She was confused did she still love Jake? Or was she just sad that their 15 year marriage had ended, well legallly anyway, their marriage had ended 8 years ago.
Mel listened to the end of the song and then she heard the phone ring and she put all thoughts of Jake out of her mind, telling herself that she loved Andrew and that Jake was only Gabby and Ellie's dad that was all.
Mel and Jake didn't know how similar they were, at the same time as Mel was thinking about him, Jake was doing exactly the same. Ellie was going to stay with him for a week to see how they got along before moving in permanently. She was in her room unpacking, she had her music up so loud that Jake could hear all the words clearly.
"There's a thousand words that I could say to make you come home"
'I wish' though Jake. He wished he could say something that would make Mel come back to him.
"It seems so long ago you walked away and left me alone.
And I remember what you said to me you were acting so strange.
And maybe I was to blind to see that you needed a change"
Jake remembered the day Mel had left him, when he got home from work he had shouted to her that he was going ot the bar as usual. That was when she told him that she and Ellie were leaving him, their bag were already in the cab and he had one minute to say goodbye to Ellie. He was such a fool not to realise how far he had pushed Mel, he should have treated her the way she deserved to be treated, like a queen.
"I've been sitting her
Can't get you off my mind
I'm tryin my best to be a man and be strong"
That was true as well, Jake thought of Mel every single day. But he put on an act as if he didn't care, but he had been slowly falling apart since he heard that Mel was going to marry another man. Why did he sign those divorce papers? he asked himself for the millionth time. So she could be happy he answered himself.
"And I know in heart you cant say that you don't love me too"
In the graveyard that night Jake could have sworn he say love in Mel's eyes. Oh well he could hope.
