Me : Hey guys!

Ali : She's being really lazy right now.

Me : -sobs- Why? WHY?

Ali : Oh, just go cry to your Butterfly or write a story or something. Hey! Write a poem!

Me : Can you please just do your job?

Ali : Fine. Cassie only owns the O/C's and she is amazing at writing poetry.

-Cassie glares at Ali but Ali hugs her-

Ali : And here's chapter 7 of Love and Luck!

Melody's POV

I felt a nudge and I snuggled closer into my boyfriend's chest. As soon as I get comfortable something just has to happen. I felt another nudge. I slapped his hand away. He tickled my side.

I squeaked "James! St-t-t-op-p it!"

He took his arm from around me "We're here, you've got to get up."

I opened my eyes, there's no way we're here already. I unbuckled my seat belt and James stood up. He held out his hand and helped me up. He got the bags from the overhead compartment and slung them over his shoulder. We all filed out and we met Katelyn and Kendall waiting for us at baggage.

Katelyn pointed to my head "Mel, you're hair is kinda messy."

I smirked "Fu- Nevermind, that's your boyfriend's job."

James pointed to the conveyor belt "There's our stuff."

We all grabbed our stuff and I called Skylynn.

"Hey! You guys off the plane yet?"

"Yeah, come pick us up?"

"I'll be there in a couple minutes."

"Thanks and please, please, please don't try to hit a chipmunk again."

"Awww, come on!"

"You got us into a car accident!"

"It wasn't that bad."

"I broke my leg and you got a concussion."

"So? Your leg healed!"

"That's not the point! If you go after a small animal while all five of us are in your car I won't set you up with that guy you like."

"You wouldn't!"

"Try me."

I hung up and turned around to see Katelyn about to strangle me.

Katelyn "Skylynn is driving us?"

I nodded "Everyone else is at the hospital. She's going to drive us to the house and we're going to unload our stuff. Then we're all going to go see R-r….my brother."

James put down our stuff and pulled m into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist and heard a whistle behind me. She must have sped down the highway.

I turned around and looked at Skylynn. Her red hair came down to her shoulders and her hazel eyes were bright with energy from probably about 4 monsters. She was wearing her orange and white skater sneakers, dark blue skinny jeans and Marilyn Monroe t-shirt. She also had on her bottle opener necklace and black skull earrings.

I stuck out my tongue "Oh. My. God. Marilyn Monroe? Really?"

She glared "Dude! She's legend! At least it looks like I changed this morning!" She realized what she said and looked like she was going to cry. She hugged me "I'm sorry Mel, I forgot."

I hugged her back "I know."

She let go and stepped back "So this is the oh so amazing James Maslow and Kendall Schmidt."

Katelyn rolled her eyes "Let's just get this over with."

I picked up my duffel bag and guitar and we all followed Skylynn to her car.

~After car ride~

Katelyn collapsed onto the kitchen floor. I feel like I'm going to puke. James and Kendall got the stuff out of the car. James came in first and his face was an odd sickly color. Kendall was extremely shaky.

Skylynn rolled her eyes "Wimps."

I slapped her arm "Just sit down and wait for me to show everyone their rooms."

She flopped into a chair "Fine."

I motioned for them to follow me. I showed Katelyn and Kendall to their rooms and led James upstairs. His room is right next to mine. I went into my room and set my guitar and duffel bag on my king sized bed. I got my comforter for Christmas from Royce. It's dark purple and has Flower Girl written in calligraphy. The walls are lime green and have the hand prints of my friends and family everywhere. Each person's name is written under their prints. I walked over to the handprints on the wall across from my bed. I traced the name Royce and sent a silent prayer up to God.

I felt arms wrap around my waist "He's going to be okay."

I turned around and he kissed my forehead and I sighed "I hope so."

Skylynn showed up in my doorway "You guys might want to shower and such, I'm going to attempt to cook grilled cheese."

James went to his room but Skylynn stayed in my doorway.

I held out my arms "Come here."

She ran the couple of feet and clung to me "What if he dies, Mel? I can't live without him! You know what

he gave me right before those guys beat him up?"

I rubbed her back comfortingly "What did he give you?"

She pulled away and showed me her hand "This promise ring. It's our 2 year anniversary. We were

supposed to go to the Cheesecake Factory and go bowling."

I nodded "Just like when you guys went on your first date."

I saw a tear fall down her cheek. She's….crying? I've on see her cry once. We had been playing Halo : Reach for 32 hours straight and she had fallen asleep first. I managed to stay awake and beat her. When she woke up she cried half because she was really hungry and half because she always beats me.

I pulled her into a hug "Don't cry, Sky."

She giggled a little "That rhymed."

I pulled away "You are such a dork."

She gasped "I am not a whale penis!"

I slapped her lightly "Skylynn Janeen Laymore!"

Sky laughed "Melody Lynne Crafter!"

I winced "Stop."

She put a hand on my shoulder "Mel, it was 5 years ago. You've got to let it go."

I yanked her hand off "Why don't you lose your parents at 13?"

Sky rubbed her wrist "They abused you and Royce! I don't understand why you still love them!"

I don't know either. "I need to get changed."

She left and I went into my duffel bag. I pulled out my razor, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste and my phone. I called Genevieve.

"Please tell me that you're on the plane."

"Even better."

"Wait, you're getting off the plane?"

"We're at the house. Everyone is showering and getting changed before we head over."

"He really wants to talk to you."

"Well you're there! You're his sister too!"

"But you're his twin, you guys have a connection that no other siblings have."

"You always say that."

"Because it's true. Take a shower and get tidied up."

"Okay. I love you Genevieve."

"I love you too. And please don't yell at the doctors like last time."

"Come on! They weren't giving you any good food and you had ammonia!"

"Melody!"

"Fine."

"See you soon."

"Bye."

I hung up and walked to the upstairs bathroom.

I knocked on the door "James! Hurry up! I have to take a shower too!"

He opened the door and stood with a towel around his waist and was holding a black bag "Sorry? I couldn't hear you."

I rolled my eyes "I said that I need to take a shower too."

He smirked "I'm sorry."

I poked his abs "Out of my way Jamie."

He sighed "Fine."

He walked down the hall into his room. I went into the bathroom and closed the door. I took one of my lime green towels and set it on the hook next to the master shower. I stripped and as I stepped onto the tile I got a call from Skylynn.

"What do you want Skylynn?"

"Jeez, vicious! Are you ready yet?"

"No! James just got out of the shower so I'm getting in."

"Fine. Katelyn wants me to drive her over to her parent's house so that they can see her. So I'll be back in about an hour."

"Okay. Bye."

"What's up with you right now?"

"Oh, sorry. Cuz I should be so happy when my best friend just brought up a very touchy subject, my twin brother is in the hospital and all I want to do is take a shower."

"Whatever, Mel. Bye."

I hung up and put my phone on the sink. Why can't she ever just try to understand? I can't always be happy and perky. I turned on the water and it immediately soothed and relaxed my muscles. I closed my eyes and hummed a tune. My eyes snapped open. I hummed again and then I thought of words. A new song.

Royce's POV

Where's Melody? I need her. I wish I could use my phone here. I rtried to readjust the cast on my leg but winced at the pain in my chest.

Vevie walked in "Melody and Katelyn will be here soon."

She looked everywhere in the room except at me "Genevieve, what's wrong?"

She looked at her hands "You'll be mad with her."

I rolled my eyes "How could I be mad at Melody?"

She played with her hair "Melody brought James and Katelyn brought Kendall."

My eyes narrowed "They….what? Why?"

She stepped forward and looked at me straight on "Don't you go and ruin this for her. She really likes him and if you mess up her relationship you know damn well that there will be no Royce and Skylynn."

We heard yelling down the hall coming closer and closer. I heard Melody yell something and everything went quiet.

Melody popped in the door way "Hey there siblings!"

Following her was a tall boy, maybe 20 or so, with dark brown hair. He stayed close to her so I guess that one is her boyfriend. Melody's hair still made me smile at the memory. She was wearing a white v-neck t-shirt that said 'What The Hell' and dark blue skinny jeans with her favorite wedges. She was holding a humongous Burger King bag.

She smiled at me "This is my boyfriend, James. James this is my little sister Genevieve and my twin brother Royce."

He walked up and held out his hand and smiled "Hi. I'm James."

I smiled back and shook his hand "Hi."

Melody walked over and stood in the door way "Can we have some extra tables and chairs in here?"

A nurse brought in three chairs "We can't bring in another table."

Melody tilted her head "So you are trying to tell me that in this whole frickin hospital there isn't a spare frickin table? What the hell is your problem? I don't care if you guy's don't have a spare one! Go find me one!"

James ran over and put his hand on her shoulder "Mel, chill out."

She glared at him "But I'm already cold."

He laughed "Then I guess I'll have to steal your milkshake."

They were broken apart when Skylynn shoved through "Oh, sorry."

Melody pushed Skylynn "What the hell is your problem?"

They FINALLY made it to the hospital XD I was anticipating it as much as you were. You guys know the deal.
