So I guess a lot of people like this story so far, just not the cliff hangers :D But you guys have to suffer through them because I'm the one writing.
Disclaimer : Hi, can I say my name?
Me : Fine but hurry up, they want to get on to the third chapter!
Disclaimer : My name is Ali and I'm just here to tell you guys that Cassie owns nothing.
Melody's POV
I looked into James's eyes. What the hell. When I kissed him I felt a spark, but the movies gave it no justice. I felt like I could never be with anyone else in my life. Whether he felt the same or not, I knew that I more than liked him a little bit. I pulled away from him and bit my lip. When I met his eyes he was smiling and I felt my stomach flutter.
Carlos whistled "Hey, sorry to interrupt but aren't all of us supposed to be hanging out?"
I stuck my tongue out at him "Well maybe if you didn't try to throw me in the water when I can't swim!"
Carlos "Well how was I supposed to know that?"
Katelyn "Knock it off you two! Don't tell me you guys are going to be bickering all the time."
We both glared at her. James carried me and I sat on the edge of the pool.
Me "Katelyn, you're a meanie-head."
James chuckled "Jeez Melody, quit it with the vulgar language!"
Me "Well -"
Logan "Hey Melody, why don't you sing for us?"
Kendall and Katelyn said "Yeah, please?" in unison.
Me "But -"
James "Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?"
I looked at him and he had his lower lip jutted out. "Fine."
Katelyn "Sing that song that you sang the last time we hung out."
I felt a stab of pain in my heart "Any one but that."
Katelyn "Please?"
Me "Did you forget
That I was even alive (looks down)
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me (I walked a couple feet away)
Did you regret
Ever standing by my side (I leaned against tree)
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand (I clenched my fists)
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget (I looked down)
We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love (I smiled)
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
But somewhere we went wrong (I closed my eyes)
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
Somewhere we went wrong (I faced everyone halfway)
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past (I looked at the sky)
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us
But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along (I looked at everyone)
You've forgotten
About us"
We were all silent for a minute or two.
Carlos whispered softly "Did you write that?"
I looked at the grass and tried not to make eye contact, "Yeah."
What did they think of it? Whenever I sang it I remembered how broken I was when I wrote it. No one is talking, I can feel them staring at me. I look over and as soon as I met Katelyn's eyes she walked over and hugged me. Clinging to her I only let myself shed one tear.
James's POV
When she sang I felt a stab of anger for whoever she wrote this song about. Katelyn walked over to Melody and hugged her, then I saw a tear roll down her cheek. I could tell that she'd been through more than anyone here. But I knew that no matter what I would do my best not to hurt her.
Katelyn "That was amazing, was it about…..?"
Melody wiped the tear from her cheek "Yup. But that's behind me." She looked at me "Wanna go get something to eat?"
Me "I'd love to." I smiled.
Melody "Let me go change." She winked and ran into the house. I looked at Carlos, Logan, Kendall, and Katelyn.
Katelyn "You do know what you are getting yourself into, right?"
Me "I've got a pretty good idea."
Katelyn "Good. And don't hurt her, or I'll hurt you."
Kendall "Trust me, she will."
Me "Jeez guys, no pressure."
Melody ran out, back in her dress. "You gonna change?" She smiled really big.
Me "What? You don't like this outfit?" I stood up and spun for effect.
Melody winked "Of course I do, I just don't know about anyone else."
Me "Okay, I'll change." I walked to the house and into the bathroom. When I came out I saw Melody and Carlos bickering about something.
"Everything okay?"
Carlos "Your girlfriend seems to think that toast is better than bagels!"
Melody crossed her arms "It is! You're just jealous!"
Carlos "What do you have that I could jealous of?"
She thought for a second "A life!"
Logan, Kendall and I went "OOHHHH!" at the same time.
Katelyn "And there's that bickering again, James take Melody out to dinner and Carlos just go be Carlos."
Melody walked over to me and took my hand. Is this really happening?
Melody's POV
I can't believe that Katelyn ended that fight, I was getting ready to crush him! But now I was holding hands with a totally amazing guy so I guess I'm okay. As we walked to his car I thought about where he might take me. He let go of my hand and opened the door for me.
James half-smiled "Here you go, mistress."
I couldn't help but giggle "Why thank you good sir!" I got in and he shut the door. I watched him walk around to his side. When he got in I bit my lip.
James "What time are you planning to be home tonight?"
Me "I was hoping by 11:00. They want me at the recording studio at 9."
James "I have the perfect idea."
Oh god. "And what would that be?"
James "It's a surprise. I have to stop by my house first though."
I stuck out my lip "Not fair."
James "Don't you know? Life's not fair."
He drove to his house and came out a couple minutes later with a basket and blanket. "What's that for?"
James "You'll see."
He's getting a kick out of this. Where are we going? I really hate surprises. We pulled up to a parking lot.
"We're almost there. You might want to take off your shoes."
I did and left them in his car. He grabbed the basket and blanket and led the way down a trail.
Me "Where are we going?"
James "Just a couple more feet."
He pushed a fern out of the way and revealed a beautiful beach. I gasped and walked onto the sand, feeling it between my toes. I stared out at the ocean "This is beautiful!"
James "I thought you would like it." He laid out the blanket and set down the basket.
Me "What's in there?"
James "I grabbed some food, we're having a picnic on the beach." He sat on the blanket.
I smiled and sat across from him. "And what did the romantic pack for us to eat?"
James "A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, small bag of plain chips, water and brownie for each of us."
Me "Very original." I winked.
As we ate we watched the tide come in and go out again. We didn't speak but the silence again felt comfortable. I felt like I'd known him my whole life.
James's POV
When we finished I held her hand and led her back down the trail. While I drove her home I thought about what a crazy day it had been. When I glanced at her I saw her smiling and looking out the window. We got to her apartment and I opened her door for her and walked her to the front door.
Melody smiled "I had a great time."
I smiled back "Me too, I'll see you soon?"
Melody "How about tomorrow night? Pick me up at 6:00?"
Me "That would be great." I hugged her and handed her a small piece of paper. "Here's my number, call me if you want."
Melody "I most definitely will." She leaned up and kissed me again. "Goodnight James." She walked into her apartment and closed the door.
Even though I knew she couldn't hear me I whispered "I love you."
What do you guys think? I'm doing this for you guys so tell me if you think I need to work on a certain part. The song does not belong to me just to point that out. It's called 'Don't Forget' by Demi Lovato. I'd say 4 reviews and I'll write another chapter. See ya!
