YUS. CHAPTER 12 IS DONE.

And just in time right? Although I did say Tuesday at the earliest. Heh whoops.

So yeah, Chapter 12 as you are probably aware is Haven't Met You Yet by Mr. Michael Buble who was a wonderful voice. And! He also has another TWO songs that I will be writing about in the future. Hopefully. AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE CHOICES IN THE POLL.

Speaking of that, the winner...by 1 vote...

IS HEARTLESS BY KANYE WEST.

Dear god, do I LOVE this song. So I will be having plenty of fun with this one.

But for now, enjoy Chapter 12! And yeah, I don't own the characters (EXCEPT MELLITA) or the song. They have other owners who are awesome and such.

Oh...I almost forgot. ANYTHING in italics in this is a flashback. Enjoy!

"I need to end this."

"What do you mean?"

"It's over, Sid."

I'm not surprised

Not everything lasts

I've broken my heart so many times

I've stopped keeping track

You know that feeling when you get your heart ripped out of your chest because you are watching the person you love walk away. I do. After hearing the words, "It's over" so many times, it's kind of hard not to deal with heartbreak. It's gotten to the point where I am almost immune from it. At this point, it was almost hopeless for me to work up the courage to ask out another woman.

Talk myself in

Talk myself out

I get all worked up

And then I let myself down

"So Emily, would you maybe want to see a movie with me tomorrow night?"

"Oh, Sid. I'm sorry. I'm busy..washing my hair…"

"So Dana, me and you, let's go party huh?"

"In your dreams, Gifaldi."

"So Penny, you wanna get coffee tomorrow?"

"Sid, I'm your cousin."

You see what I mean? Hopeless.

I tried so very hard not to lose it

I came up with a million excuses

I thought I thought of every possibility

But then I thought of all the reasons it just wasn't working out. Maybe it's the way that I look, or the way that I act. It had to be me that was working out?

Maybe it's them? Maybe they are just too cruel. Too unfeeling. They don't deserve a guy like me.

It had to be some kind of cruel fate. Being tossed around like this, right?

So I went to a couple friends for advice.

"Maybe you're just gross."

"Girls are just stupid, Rhonda has been bugging me since the fourth grade. I'm never dating her."

"Your fashion sense is horrible, Sid, seriously, those boots!"

"You just gotta play it cool, you know? Suave, maybe some purring. Women love that."

I'm guessing you're not surprised that I didn't take their advice. So I went to the person I knew I could rely on.

"Arnold, I need help."
"Sure, Sid. What's up?"

"I need help…with girls."

"Of course you do, Gifaldi. Girls run in the opposite direction when you come near."

Did I mention that Helga was there? They're dating by the way; I'll never understand why he fell for a girl like her.

"Helga." She grinned as he turned to her.

"It's true." She mumbled. Another warning glare. Another grin.

"You need to be yourself, Sid. Any girl that doesn't like you the way you are isn't worth it. Right Helga?"

"I guess you're right on that one, Football Head."

"That's how I fell for Helga anyway. She was finally herself with me. Just open up, you'll see. Some girl will come along and you'll sweep her off her feet."

"You think so?"

"I know so. Be accepting of yourself and someone will be accepting of you."

And I know someday it'll all work out

And I'll work to work it out

Promise you kid, I'll give more than I get

From that walk home, I realized that even if it may take me forever to find that right person. But I can't give up on it.

It all depends on every move that I make in the future. Instead of walking home the normal way from Arnold's, maybe I'll go around the long way and take a stroll through the park.

Sitting on a park bench, I started thinking about the perfect woman for a guy like me. Sure, she'd be beautiful beyond belief but I've been with enough beautiful people to know that there is more beauty on the inside than there is on the outside sometimes.

This girl would challenge me, make me think about myself, pick me up when I was down, make me laugh, make me smile. I'd give her anything she wanted. No matter what the expense, she'd be worth every penny.

She'd love music, maybe she'd play in a band. A guitarist or a singer. Even a bassist, I wouldn't care. She'd like leather jackets and motorcycles. She'd be a little rough around the edges at first. Harsh on the outside, but tender and beautiful on the inside.

One day. One day I'm gonna find this girl and give her the world.

I just haven't met you yet

I just haven't met her yet.

I might have to wait

I'll never give up

I guess it's half timing

And the other half's luck

Wherever you are

Wherever it's right

It took me a while to walk out of the park, considering I was getting lost in my daydreams about this perfect and probably not real woman. It was getting dark and the sun was just about to set before I decided to walk back home.

And wouldn't you know, there was a lonely girl sitting on a park bench, crying. For some odd reason, I felt almost compelled to walk over there, to comfort her.

"Hey, are you okay?"

She looked up at me. And whoa, big brown eyes. Big, sad, brown eyes. I pre-determined that I didn't like that sad part but now…now I wanted to know more.

"I…not really."

"Do you want to talk about it?" She shook her head and continued to silently cry.

"Do you just want some company?" She nodded.

I put my arms out to her and she tackled me into them with large tears in her eyes, choking out a sob. She shook as she pushed her face into my chest. I stroked her hair and attempted to calm her down.

"What's your name?" She sniffled.

"Mellita, Mellita Marin."

You come out of nowhere and into my life

Mellita. Mellita Marin.

That was the day I met Mellita Marin. If I hadn't walked through the park, stopped to think or felt the need to comfort her. I wouldn't have realized that she was my perfect girl.

Stubborn, tough as nails,

Oh by the way, we're getting married. Surprise right? Every story needs a happy ending right?

And I know that we can be so amazing

And being in your life is gonna change me

And now I can see every single possibility

And now I've got mine.

D'aww. Ain't that cute?

See about Mellita. If you read any of my other stories, you will realize ...

"OMG THAT'S MELLITA FROM MISSION FOREVER."

Yes, you clever cats. It is Mellita from Mission Forever. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, GO READ MISSION FOREVER. DO IT.)

Mellita is an OC that I created especially for Mission Forever along with many other characters that I have created for the story. But I guess you are also asking...

"OMG DOES THIS MEAN THAT SID AND MELLITA ARE GOING TO GET TOGETHER?!"

No it does not. Considering that you haven't even properly met Mellita yet. And half of you will love her, half of you will hate her. Or maybe you'll all love her. I know I do. But the relationship between Sid and Mellita may or may not happen. It all depends on how I write it. Chapter 2 will be up in the next couple of days. I promise.

But, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 12 in the mean time!
