"Well?" Daley asked. Eric turned to Melissa once more. Knowing it wouldn't do anything though,

Melissa didn't show any emotion.
"Well okay...I know that...Melissa ...Has a crush on me." He lied, Jackson immediantly turned to Melissa.

"Huh?" He asked. Daley was shocked, Lex as well.

"Melissa...your kidding..!" Daley said.

Um um um um um um um...Uh.." She stammered she had no idea what to say next.

"T-That's right! I am TRUELY inlove with Eric! H-he us just so...smart! And uh...Cute!" She said. she could feel herself sweat.

Daley turned to Jackson.

"Smart huh...Melissa are you feeling alright?" Nathan asked.

"Y-Yeah...I think.." She mumbled to herself. Jackson got up and walked to the tent.

Daley stood there confused and shocked all at the same time.

Melissa sat there awkwardly making faces at Eric.

After Lunch

Melissa watched Jackson look out to the ocean. With caution she walked up to him.

"Hey...Jackson." She said smiling. Jackson didn't say anything, he didn't even budge on moving. His eyes were focused outon the ocean.

"Jackson come on now.." She moaned stting next to him.

"About what I said I-"
"Melissa. You got nothing to say! So just leave it be!" He yelled.\

Melissa was shocked. He had never yelled at her before.

"But Jackson if you-"

Jackson stared at Melissa angrily. Melissa finally got the message and stepped back. She had to fix this, she had to make it right. so she met up with Eric.

"Eric..we need to talk." She said.

"I think we should too."

"Yeah...WHAT KIND OF ANSWER WAS THAT!?" She yelled smacking him in the stomach.

"oww hey! They were putting pressure on me I didn't know what else to say!" He yelled. Melissa did a deep sigh.

"It's alright...Not your fault.." She said. "It's just that...I liked Jackson alot and...now he doesn't and..well...I just don't know what to do, whn I exsplain it to him he doesn't believe me."
"I'm sorry." Was all he said. Melissa looked up at him.

"Soo...what now?" He asked blushing.

"Well eh-"

Melissa was stopped by a recent pain in her stomach, she started moaning loudly as she crouched down to the ground.

"Mel!" He yelled bending down. Melissa looked up at him.

"Eric...Do not-"
"Melissa, im sorry but I gotta tell someone. This can't go on!" He said pulling her up. Melissa couldn't stand up, she felt she had to sit down and stay down.

"I can't...I wont.." She said breathing.

"Melissa..!" He yelled. Melissa shut her eyes. She was then not able to move one bit. Eric lift her body in his arms and carried her back to the camp site.

"Guys help!" He yelled. Jackson ran out of the tent, finding Eric carrying Melissa. She looked terrible.

"What did you to to her?" He asked looking angry.

"I..Wa..Nothing!" He yelled. Jackson took her body and placed it inside the tent.

"Go get Daley." He ordered. Eric nodded and ran off a direction to look for Dale.

In the woods

"I dunno Lex...do we really need another wall for the shelter?" She asked.

"Yesterday I saw it tip alittle, we should probably-"

"Guys!! Guys!" They turned around finding Eric running.

He stopped trying to catch his breath.

"What's up?" She asked.

"Tis...It's Melissa...! She's...s-s-sick," He said blinking.

"Sick..What do you-"
"We gotta get back Daley!" Lex yelled. Lex ran ahead of Daley with her catching up. Eric took a deep breath and headed for camp.

Daley bardged in on Jackson.

"What's wrong with her?!" She panicked.

""I don't know she wont tell me." He answered. Melissa openeed her eyes finding herself surrounded by her friends.

"Uh..ugh.ng..." She groaned.

"Melissa..you gotta tell us what's wrong."She said.
"Nothing..im okay.." She said sitting up, but soon felt the sudden pain again. She laid back down groaning.

Eric ran inside along with Nathan, Taylor and the others.

"Melissa you alright?" He asked,

"Jackson what're we gonna do?" Daley asked terrified.

Eric looked at them both, feeling scared for the both of them.
