Author's Note: This chapter will partly be a dream chapter. Michael dreams about the day that changed his life forever.

Chapter 5

Michael laid on his bed while Melody was in the bathroom. He slowly drifted off to sleep and was having a dream...

Michael was standing in front of a yellow house with a black roof. He then saw a slender woman with blond hair sitting on a sheet with a child no older than 3 years old. Michael thought that the child and the woman looked very familiar.

"Are you having a good time, Michael?" the woman said. The toddler just looked up at her.

Michael eyes grew wide. "No." He said. "This can't be happening. I gotta do-"

Michael turned around and saw a black car sitting at the end of the street. Michael knew what was about to happen.

"Hey!" Michael yelled at the woman and her child. They didn't even seem to notice him. He kept yelling and trying to get their attention. All of a sudden, the black car was driving really slow up the street. It came to a stop in front of them and the windows rolled down...

"Michael?" Melody said putting a hand on his forehead.

Michael bolted up and looked around and saw Melody standing there with a concerned look on her face.

"What's wrong?" she said, kneeling by his bed.

"I saw it happen." Michael said. " I saw the black car roll down its windows and..."

"Shh, do not think about that now." Melody said. Michael looked away as tears filled his eyes.

Melody patted his back and said, "You are going to be all right, you are a strong guy, and cute too."

"What?" Michael said.

"Nothing, nothing." Melody said, blushing. "Let's get some sleep, we have to be at school early tomorrow to find our classes."

"W-Wait," Michael began. "You're gonna sleep here?"

"Yeah, the boss said I have to keep an eye on you, even if that means sleeping in the same room."

"Yeah," Michael said. "You're right. Now that leaves the question. Who gets the bed?"

"Isn't your brother coming home?" Melody asked?

"Nope." Michael said.

"Let's just split it, I'm tired." Melody said. "I'm sleeping in my clothes anyway."

"Fine with me," Michael said. "You sleep on top of the covers, and I will sleep underneath."

"Are you sure you okay?" Melody asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Michael said. He then laid back down and went to sleep.

"Someday, Michael, I'll tell you my real feelings." Melody said as she lay next to him and drifted off to sleep.

Little did Melody know, Michael heard what she said.
