What does he want?

Back to the streets where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can .. you know
Well, now we're feeling so good

Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love .. you could .. you can

Into a place, where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon

Nine in the Afternoon, by Panic At the Disco!

Chapter 12

My breathe caught in my throat, "No!" I practically yelled, "You lost the right to order me around 16 years ago, you jackass!" I screamed, snatching my wrist free.

"Ow!" I yelped in agony, his grip was tight and my wrist twisted.

"Melody.." He started. I stared at him wide-eyed, he did know! He took a step towards me and I took a large step back.

"G-get away from m-me" I said shakily, cradling my sprained wrist against my chest. I took more steps back and I guess a rock decided to appear. I fell back, but cold arms wrapped around me, before I hit the ground.

I looked up into Edward's topaz eyes, "Let go of me!" I ordered, trying to wrestle myself free.

"Not until you let me say sorry" He said softly.

"I don't want to hear it!" I cried, then the tears came on.

"Sorry, Melody.." He whispered and he finally let me go. As soon as I was free I sped into the house, and into my room. "No, no no!" I cried, dropping to my knees and sobbing into my hands.

"Charlotte, Charlotte? Wake up sweetie!" Someone ordered, shaking my shoulders. I snapped my eyes open and found Kailey sitting beside me. I looked around and I found myself inside the yellow car.

We were parked in front of my house and Edward was sitting in front, watching me from the rear-view mirror. It was all just a dream, none of that ever happened.

"Thank you so much, Edward" Kailey said, giving him a hug.

"No, thank you for having dinner with us" Edward grinned, and Kailey smiled. Kailey walked up to the front door, leaving me with him.

Edward's eyes landed on me. "Good night squirt" He whispered, flicking my locket softly, my heart beat thumped loudly in my ear.

I watched him glide to the driver's seat, "Be safe" Was his final words before he drove off.

"Like you care" I hissed under my breathe, as I watched the car get smaller and smaller. I sauntered into the house, Lavendar and Eclipse welcoming me with their loud barks.

"Hey you guys" I smiled, kneeling beside them. They licked my face affectionately. "Aww... you guys are such sweethearts" I giggled, taking one of them in each arm. I hopped up the stairs and into my room, dropping my dogs on my bed gently.

Changing into my pajamas, I thought about my horrible dream. A part of me wanted it to be real, the other was relieved it was a nightmare. I had a hunch that Edward knew something.

I slipped under the covers, my dogs snuggling against each other at the end of the bed. As soon as my eyes closed I was knocked out.

The next morning, I was raking the brush through the wig when my phone started ringing. I flipped it open absentmindedly, "Hello?" I said.

"Melody, it's me Natasha" Came a cheery response.

"Oh hey!" I chirped, dropping the brush on my bed. "What's up?"

"Oh Nothing.. I just wanted to ask you something" She answered, sounding distant.

"Yea..?"

"What do you think of me coming to school with you?" She inquired, trying to sound casual.

"Natasha, are you going to school with me?" I demanded, already knowing the answer.

"Hell yessss! I'm waiting outside with my car. I thought we should carpool" She answered happily.

I grinned happily, as I peered through the window. And there she was in her car. "Be right there" I blurted out, slamming the phone to a close. I slung my backpack on my shoulder and hopped onto the window's ledge.

Lavender and Eclispe bounded inside, barking madly. "Watch the house for me, yea?" I called, leaping down. I landed on the grass with a soft thud, Natasha waved me over.

I opened the door and hopped in. "What did your dad say about this?" I queried breathlessly.

"Eh... after a lot of persuasion he finally agreed" Natasha shrugged, stepping on the gas pedal. "So anything exciting happen this weekend?"

"You have no idea.." I muttered and I told her everything. From Gemma all the way to Edward. She parked at the school, slightly gaping.

"Wow, she sounds like a total snob" Natasha snorted, as we got out of her car. "Well, at least someone is on my side" I sighed, combing my hand through the itchy wig.

"Do you need to get your schedule?" I asked, as we passed by the office.

"No, it's right here" She said, handing it to me. I took a peek at it, and gawked at her.

"We have the same classes!" I exclaimed in disbelief, as a smirk settled itself on Natasha's russet colored face. "Okay, what the hell did you do?" I demanded.

Natasha looked guilty, "I threatened her.." She stated truthfully.

"Wow.." I rolled my eyes playfully, giving her back the schedule.

There was only 10 minutes before class, so Natasha and I sat on a bench discussing the past events. When Gemma walked up, with her little clique.

"Hello Melody" She snarled, "Who's this? And how'd you trick her into being friends with the likes of you?" She asked, eyeing Natasha. Her friends snickered around her.

"Hello dear Gemma, dear bastard Gemma" I smiled sweetly, Natasha sniggering beside me. "And we've been friends ever since we were fourteen, thank you very much" I retorted.

"Whatever, anyway about yesterday. Well I have your first order" She said, looking very evil.

"Hit me" I shrugged, nothing could be worse than this.

Gemma looked at me smugly, "Well, I want you to go to the office and switch all your classes with Edward. I don't want you anywhere near him" She ordered with a growl.

"Will do" I saluted her. That was a pretty good idea! "Coming Natasha?" I asked, standing up.

"Yeppers" Natasha replied, standing up so well.

As I passed Gemma and her friends, I slid my right contact off, showing my purple eye. I faced it towards Gemma, "By the way, screw you" I said, aiming my eye at her friends.

One by one they fell like rocks, and Gemma was slowly backing away. Coward.
