Old Memories Chapter 5: Discovery, a degrassi fanfic

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Okay. I finally wrote a fifth part for the Old Memories story. Mmm...this is going to be my longest Melanie story yet! Yay:-) Somebody asked me whether my name was really close to melanie's or not. No, it's not. I was kidding. My name is Eryn Levaine. Oh, pretty, right? I know :-) No. That's my fake internet name. My name is Lynn! yay!

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The next Monday, Melanie and Manny walk up to the school together. They are wearing:

Melanie- she was wearing was a dark red, ribbon laced halter top, that showed a bit of her stomach, a short camoflauge mini-skirt, black boots, and a thick line of eyeliner. Her new hairdo is loose curls, and short, and the color is dark brown, with streaks of light brown and blonde.

Manny- wearing a very short denim mini-skirt, a red-violet tight tank-top, and black thick-heeled shoes. Hair is down.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Melanie- You know, I think I should start up writing songs again, and singing.

Manny- You know what, you totally should. And you should totally let me sing with you. Like, our own little group.

-Jay walks up to them and starts walking with them-

Melanie- Hi Jay. -kisses him-

Manny- Anyway, back to music. As I was saying, we should make our own little music group, you know, me and you, like we used to when we were little. A band.

Jay- Wait. Hold on. Mel, you used to be in a band?

Melanie- Yeah, I used to sing, play guitar, write the songs. It was me and Manny.

Jay- Did you guys have a name for the band?

Melanie- No, we never really got that far.

Jay- So start it up again, maybe you'll get somewhere.

Melanie- That's what I was saying!

Jay- Sorr-ee.

Manny- Alright. Then, we better start writing a new song, because, well, we didn't even have a song did we?

Melanie- Well, we only like, made up the music. We never made lyrics.

Manny- Then let's write a new song.

Jay- Alright. But wait, what do you guys play?

Melanie- Me, Electric, and occasionally, acoustic guitar, Manny palyed Bass. That's it.

Jay- What about a drummer?

Melanie- Why, you played drums?

Jay- Um, perhaps. Let me join the band then.

Melanie- I don't know...it'd be weird, wouldn't it?

-They walk inside the school-

Manny- Yeah, it was always only me and Mel.

Jay- So what? Fine, just, think about it, okay?

Melanie- Fine.

-Jay walks into a classroom-

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-Melanie is sitting in a classroom, in the back. People keep looking back at her, and laughing, and whispering things, like "Look, it's the porn-star of the school!", "Wonder when she does her next show.", and Melanie just glares at them, and writes in a small black notebook, when Paige, who is sitting next to her, looks at the notebook-

Paige- What are you writing?

Melanie- A song.

Paige- Can I read it?

Melanie- It's not finished, but sure.

-Melanie gives Paige the notebook, and she starts to read it, and looks suprised-

Paige- -reading the song out loud- "When I lie in bed, thoughts of you fill my head. What you did to me I'll never forget, and that's what you're gonna regret. But don't forget, you can't get to me, because soon you'll just be an old memory. Everything we had, everything you did, just old memories...old memories."

Melanie- So, what do you think?

Paige- It's pretty good. What's it about?

Melanie- A girl, who used to have a boyfriend that beat her, raped her. Basically it's about a girl who had a terrible boyfriend, who just beat the crap out of her.

Paige- Wow. Sounds...familiar.

Melanie- I know. It's about Steven and me.

Paige- Well, I like it. Are you going to make music to it?

Melanie- Yeah, it's a song for my band.

Paige- You have a band?

Melanie- Well, used to. Me and Manny, when we were younger, we used to write music. But we didn't write any songs. And we didn't have a name either. But, we're starting it up again.

Paige- Really? That's awesome!

Melanie- But, theres a small problem.

Paige- What?

Melanie- We're missing a few parts. One, drums. Well, we're considering Jay for drums. We haven't decided yet. And two, piano.

Paige- Well, I can play a bit of piano. And drums.

Melanie- You wanna be a part of the band?

Paige- Um, sure.

Melanie- Good. After school, me, Manny, and Jay are meeting at my house. 7. Be there.

Paige- Alright. -She gives Melanie back the book, and Melanie continiues writing-

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-Later that day, Melanie, Paige, Jay, and Manny are sitting in Melanie's room. Manny is holding the notebook, open to the song Melanie had written earlier that day.-

Jay- We can't use that for a song.

Melanie- Why not?

Jay- Because.

Melanie- Why?

Jay- Because it's a girl's song.

Paige- Um, let's see, three girls, one guy. Wonder why.

Jay- Just, it is weird.

Melanie- It's weird having you in this band! It was a girl's band only! There aren't supposed to be guys in it, it ruins it. I didn't even want you in it in the first place. No offense. I'd love to have you in it, but, it's a girl's band only.

Jay- Fine. Bye. -He leaves-

Melanie- Jeez...so, anyway. How do you guys feel about the song?

Manny- Let's use it. We gotta write music for it now, though.

Paige- I agree.

Melanie- Then, we gotta...have another band meeting. Tomorrow, same time. My garage.

Paige & Manny- Alright.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-The next day, Melanie, Manny, and Jay are walking to the front doors of the school-

-Melanie is wearing: A hot pink cami, a dark green short thin sweat shirt over it, unbuttoned, a very short camoflauge mini-skirt, and black boots.

Manny is wearing: Faded jeans, and a low-cut dark red t-shirt, with a light blue tank top under it.-

Jay- Hey, wait a minute. Mel, did you ever make an appointment for the doctors

Melanie- Why?

Jay- For a checkup, for the baby.

Manny- If there is one.

Melanie- Guys...

Jay- Seriously, just do it.

Melanie- Fine, just to shut you two up, I'll go today.

Manny- We have band practice today!

Melanie- Looks like we're gonna have to cancel. Tell Paige I have something to do at 6:30, and wont be there by 7.

Manny- Whatever, fine.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-Later that day, Paige walks up to Melanie, a little pissed off-

Paige- I thought we had band practice?

Melanie- Well, I had to cancel.

Paige- Why? What do you have to do that's so important?

Melanie- It's nothing that you have to worry about, okay?

Paige- Well, it is, because you cancelled band practice! I had to cancel my plans so I could go to it! And you go and make your own and cancel band practice out of nowhere! So it is my buiness! So, what's so important that you had to cancel practice?

Melanie- Nothing, okay!

Paige- It's not nothing! Tell me!

Melanie- I have something to do!

Paige- What do you have to do?

Melanie- Nothing, okay?

Paige- Tell me!

Melanie- I have a doctor appointment, okay? They're gonna see how the damn baby is doing okay? Is that not important enough to be able to cancel practice?

Paige- Oh, well. Fine.

Melanie- Yeah. Whatever. I gotta go, okay?

Paige- Bye.

-They leave-

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-Later that day, Manny and Melanie are sitting in a waiting room, outside the doctor's office.-

Some person- Melanie Levaine?

Melanie- -looks at Manny worridly-

Manny- I'll be right here, Mellie. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

-Melanie walks to the person and they walk into another room-

-In the room, Melanie is on the bed.-

Melanie- So? What's going on?

Doctor- Well, I don't think you'll be happy to hear this, but...

Melanie- What?

Doctor- There's nothing there.

Melanie- What the hell does that mean?

Doctor- You don't have a baby inside of you.

Melanie- What the hell?

Doctor- I'm sorry.

Melanie- -looks really upset-

-Outside in the waiting room, Melanie walks in. Manny looks up, and smiles, but then frowns, noticing Melanie's upset look. She looks like she is about to cry-

Manny- -gets up and walks over to her- What's wrong?

Melanie- -whispers- There's...nothing there.

Manny- What?

Melanie- There's no baby.

Manny- -whispers- Oh my god.

Melanie- -a tear goes down her cheek, and she starts to silently cry-

Manny- Oh, it's okay...there's nothing wrong with you, it wasn't your fault...

Melanie- -just nods her head while crying-

Manny- Let's go to the Dot, okay hon? Come on, it's on me.

Melanie- Alright.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-At the Dot, Melanie and Manny are sitting at the corner table-

Melanie- -Closes her cell phone from a conversation she just had, and is still crying a little- Alright, Jay knows now.

Manny- Come on, it's okay...

Melanie- No it's not

Manny- Yes, it is. Don't worry.

Melanie- How do you expect me not to worry? It's not fine. I just found out I lost my baby. I didn't even find out the gender, damn it. There's apparently something wrong with me!

Manny- There isn't.

Melanie- Stop saying that! You're only trying to make me feel better!

Manny- What the fuck else am I supposed to do? Say, 'Oh, you suck, you lost your baby, there's something wrong with you.'

Melanie- No, but...nevermind.

Manny- Hold on, did your mother even know?

Melanie- What?

Manny- Did your mother know about this?

Melanie- About what?

Manny- You and Jay.

Melanie- No. I don't want her to know.

Manny- You gotta tell her sometime.

Melanie- No I don't. I don't ever have to tell her.

-Meanwhile, Emma and Steven walk in the Dot, and see them. So, Emma and Steven sit at a table nearby, so they could hear what Manny and Melanie were talking about.-

Manny- Why not?

Melanie- I don't want my mother to know about what happened. That I had a fucking miscarriage. She'd have a heart attack that I didn't tell her in the first place. She'd kick me out right away.

Manny- Mel, you gotta try. Just try to talk to her. Maybe she'd understand, and try to help you.

Melanie- Manny...

Manny- I'm not gonna stop talking about this until you tell her!

Melanie- Manuela Santos.

Manny- Do it. Today. We'll leave here in ten minutes, then head towards your place so you can tell her. I'll go with you, so you won't be alone.

Melanie- What about Jay? Shouldn't he come?

Manny- Oh, yeah. He is the father.

Melanie- You mean was the father.

Manny- Oh, yes. Anyway, let's leave now.

Melanie- Manny...

Manny- -grabs her arm and pulls her as she leaves-

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

-It's pouring outside, thunder is filling the air-

-At Melanie's house, Melanie, Jay, and Manny walk inside-

(Melanie's mother: White blonde hair, green eyes, in a wheelchair)

Jaymie(Melanie's mother)- Hi guys. Dinner will be ready in 20 minutes, okay Mel? Your friends can stay over, if you want them to.

Melanie- Mom.

Jaymie- Do me a favor and set the table?

Melanie- Mom I gotta talk to you. Now.

Jaymie- About what?

Melanie- About...something important.

Jaymie- Like what?

Melanie- Well...me and Jay.

Jaymie- Oh.

Melanie- Mom I was gonna have a baby.

Jaymie- Melanie Nichole Levaine! How could you be so irresponsable?

Melanie- Mom I lost the baby. I lost the damn baby.

Jaymie- What?

Melanie- -Says slowly, and with tears in her eyes- I lost the baby I was gonna have.

Jaymie- Mel...

Melanie- Yeah, good, right? Saves lots of money! Saves you the trouble of supporting it, right? Yeah. It does. More money for you, me, and Jay! Plus, I don't have to worry about going through labor!

Jaymie- Mel.

Melanie- Right!

Jay- Melanie, calm down...please.

Melanie- I just fucking lost my baby, Jay! We just lost our child! Why are you so god damn calm about this!

Jay- I...-Hesitates-

Melanie- Exactly!

Manny- Mellie...

Melanie- My baby is gone...I didn't even get to find out the gender! Amazing, how something so good can go so wrong! Right? Everything is wrong! MY LIFE SUCKS!

Jaymie- Melanie...

Melanie- Bye, Ma!

-Melanie leaves the house, followed by Manny and Jay-

Jay- Melanie what the hell was that?

Melanie- The truth! My life fucking sucks!

Manny- Melanie, no it doesn't!

Melanie- Yes, Manny! Yes, it does! Have you noticed! Look at me! I used to cut myself, I just tried to commit suicide not even three weeks ago, I got pregnant, but I lost the fucking baby, let's see what else I can dig up! Oh, I got raped, my ex boyfriend, the abusive one, just came back to town, and took a video of both of us, and e-mailed it to the entire school, including the pictures he took of us! Oh, did I mention, back then, he repeatedly raped me! And you! He raped both of us! Oh, and what else? I almost lit the entire ravine on fire when I first got here! Now, everybody makes fun of me because they suprisingly know about everything bad! With Steven and the suicide! SO, HOW IS THAT FOR BAD?

Manny- -Remains silent-

Jay- Mellie...come here.

We're going down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swinging

I'll be your number one with a bullet

-She walks over to him, soaking wet from the rain, and he hugs her-

A loaded god complex

Cock it and pull it

(They stand there for a few moments in each other's arms, in the pouring rain, with Manny watching. The scene turns black.)

(And end ther fifth chapter! I think I might make this a few more chapters long, not like the other cheezy Melanie stories! lol and oh, um... Damn it, I forgot what I was going to say.

Keep quiet, nothing comes as easy as you

Can I lay in your bed all day?

I'll be your best kept secret

And you're biggest mistake

The hand behind this pen relieves a failure everyday...

I love that song.

Oh, and that song at the end was 'Sugar, We're Goin' Down' by Fall Out Boy. I love them!

Anyway, let's now talk about what's happened in this chapter. Nothing really. Well, yeah. Major things. For instance, Melanie found out she had a miscarriage, and as she would say, "lost her fucking baby."

Well, she is really pissed off about it, and as I said, she has even more bad luck coming her way. I still feel bad for her.

Read and Review!
