Mel sat in her bed as the memories of the night before played
like a never ending movie in her mind that was constantly on rewind. She shook
her head as if doing so would stop the movie. She looked at the picture of Max
in her hand and started to rip into into itty bitty pieces. She added the
ripped pieces to the growing pile in her trash can beside her bed. The phone
started to ring and she picked it up regretting it when she heard his voice.
"baby please just let me explain"
"No you have nothing to say that I want to hear just come
and get your shit befrore I toss it out" Mel yelled and hung up the phone.
She grabbed a tissue from the box on her lap and wiped her nose. She picked the
phone and started dialing numbers.
"Yo dud your phones ringing" Aj yelled to Nick who was
in teh kitchen.
"dude your right there get it" Nick yelled back
"but it's so far away" Aj said reaching for the
cordless phone that was on the table infront of him.
"pick up the phone!!"Nick yelled
"fine must you yell" Aj laughed and picked up the
phone. clicking it on he put it up to his ear.
"bone speaking"
"hello is Nick there"
"yeah who may I tell is calling"
"Mel"
"oh hey Mel sup"
"hey not to much I just really need to talk to Nick right
now"
"ka hold on a sec" Aj got up from the couch and walked
into the kitchen.
"Mel"he said handing Nick the phone Nick took the
phone and put it up to his hear.
"hey melly sup"
"Nicky" Mel sniffed
"whats wrong?"Nick asked. Aj pointed towards the door
and mouthed the words i'm leaving. Nick nodded and aj walked out.
"I just wanted to talk to you" Mel sniffed
"Mel what's wrong?"Nick asked again. there was a pause
adn Mel sniffed again."what did he do this time?" Nick asked.
"he cheated on me"
"again?"Nick asked. He heard Mel choke back a cry and
mentally slapped himself
"Mel i'm sorry but why do you put with his shit when you
know how he is"
"I love him Nick"
"I don't think he loves you if he keeps treating you like
this"
"I know"
"then why don't you leave him?"
"I did" Mel said
"ohh"
"but it's hard Nick he keeps calling wanting to apologise

"come down here"
"what?"Mel asked
"I want you to come live with me for a while till you get
together a bit"
"no Nick I can't"
"yes you can and you will" Nick said
"Nick"
"melly"Nick whinned. Mel laughed and a for a second
she forgot all about Max.
"fine but i can't stay long just a week or two"
"yeah yeah sure sure" Nick said
"Nicky?"
"yeah"
"thank you"

"being my bestest friend in the whole wide world"

couldnt see it.
" K well Mel im gonna get going im tired and plus tomorrow

" K...hey is it ok with you if a i bring a friend?"
Mel asked as she twirled the phone cord around her index finger.
" Yeah sure its kool ill talk to you tomorrow and tell you
when your flight is ok?" Nick asked.
" Ok kool bye bye Nickerz" Mel said as they both
laughed.
" Bye Mellyz" Nick said as they both hung up. Mel
picked up her phone again and dialed her friend Leah's number. It rang a few
times before anyone answered.
" hello?" Leah said.
" hey Leah how would you like to go to Florida with me for

" Yeah that would be kool any special occasion?" Leah
asked.
