Chapter 8

"I miss Jesse...I miss Jesse..."said Melany over and over."No...Melany get a hold of ur self...he's gone now."said Melany as she closed her eyes.All she thought about was Jesse...he was everywhere.In her mind and when she closed her eyes all she saw were visions of him."I need to talk to Chris."said Melany as she grabbed her phone and dialed his number.

Melany:Chris?
Chris:Melany?It's 2:38 in the morning.
Melany:It is?Sorry,I really need to talk to you.
Chris:Go ahead I'm listening to ya.
Melany:Good you need to hear this....I like you and all,but everytime I try to think or sleep I see visions of Jesse,I hear his laugh and his voice every moment,I am going crazy here!
Chris:Slow down...ok,you can't stop thinking about Jesse?
Melany:I hate admitting this,but yes.
Chris:I understand...you miss him.
Melany:I miss him like CRAZY Chris.
Chris:I hate to do this,but go back to him.
Melany:What?Are you serious?!?
Chris:Yea...as long as you're happy.I love seeing you smile.
Melany:You are so sweet.Thank you Chris...thanks.
Chris:No,prob.Hey,you think the next time you call me it can it atleast be during the day?
Melany:*laugh*yeah...sure.Bye.
Chris:Bye Mel.

"I can't believe I just let her go."said Chris."Chris!?!"said Matt."Yeah?"said Chris."Shut the heck up!"yelled Frankie.Chris laughed."Night guys."said Chris.

"Ring......ring....ching...."went Melany's alarm.Melany rubbed her eyes and knew she had another day of what teens hate to call it....'school'.She sat up and let out a yawn."Oh,great...it's Monday."said Melany with a laugh."Mel hurry it up!You'll be late for school!"yelled her mom from downstairs.Melany got dressed,did her hair and makeup,ate,brushed her teeth,and headed out the door to Westchester High."Mel!"said Jenna as she walked up to Melany."Hey,Jen."said Melany."How's Jesse?"said Jenna.Melany knew Jenna had no idea that she dated Chris...and she didn't know her and Jesse broke up."Maybe we can talk about this later.It's a long story."said Melany."Oh....hey,guess what Friday I got paired up with Jack in science!"squealed Jenna.Melany laughed."That's cool."said Melany as she turned around the corner."Ah....school."said Jenna as she walked inside.Melany followed her."Hey,we have 2 minutes until the bell rings...I'll see you in gym."said Jenna as she took her books out of her locker.

"Jesse....hey,Jesse!Orange Boy get up."said Frankie as he slapped Jesse accross the face."Ouch,Frankie."said Jesse as he sat up in his bed."We have dance rehearsal."said Greg as he turned to Jesse."I know that."said Jesse."In 5 minutes."added Matt."That I did not know."said Jesse as he grabbed his suit case and grabbed some clothes.

Melany sat in her desk and dazed out.She thought about Jesse...even if her boring science teacher was teaching the class another lesson."Ms.Rogers....Ms.Rogers....do you mind telling me why you are not paying attention in my class?"asked her teacher Mr.McGuire."Oh,heh sorry."said Melany.She could hear a few girls whisper in the back,but Melany ignored it.

"5,6,7,and 8."said Jesse as he struggled to do another dance move."Jesse,you have to focus....you have a concert tonight."said Claudia."Jesse maybe if you got ecliest 7 hours of sleep you could do this."said Chris.Jesse hated when Chris made good points."Yea,I know."said Jesse.Claudia sighed."Guys,let's go over this one more time before you leave."said Claudia.Jesse stood up and looked into the mirror.His eyes were blood shot and he had circles under his eyes.He was falling apart with out Melany and he didn't want to admit that.

"Class you are dismissed."said Mr.McGuire.Melany stood up and went to the bathroom to call Jesse.

"Ring.....ring......ring......"went Jesse's phone."Hello?"said Jesse.
Melany:Hey
Jesse:Hey,I am so glad to hear ur voice.
Melany:Thanks...I have good news.

"Jesse hurry up."said Matt.
Jesse:I only have a few minutes.
Melany:Yea,me too.Chris broke up with me...not because he didn't like me,but he wanted me to go back to you.Isn't that great?
Jesse:Yea,that's great.Hey,I'll call you later.Bye.
Melany:I love you....bye.

Melany felt so weird saying that again,but it felt good.To know that she had the one person she had to be with back in her life.She decided to give Jesse an e-mail.

"That,was Melany."said Jesse as he looked at Frankie."Yea?"asked Frankie."Chris let her go...and now she's with me!"said Jesse."That's great."said Frankie."Yea...."said Matt."That whole time I thought Chris was well,scum."said Jesse."I heard that."said Chris from backstage.Jesse laughed."Guys,you go on in 3."said Lou."Thanks."said Greg."Let's go!"said Jesse as he fixed his mic.

"Ring......ring....ring...."went Melany's phone."Hello?"said Melany.

Mandy:Hey,ur gonna be late for the concert...hurry up Mel.
Melany:Concert?
Mandy:Yea,the guys have a live concert in like 10 minutes.
Melany:I'll take the bus.
Mandy:K...see ya.
Melany:Bye...Mandy?
Mandy:Yea?
Melany:Where is this concert?
Mandy:At the mall.
Melany:Heh...oh...thanks,bye.
Mandy:Bye.

"Concert?"said Melany."I better hurry up."said Melany as she grabbed her purse and ran out the door to the bus station.

"Jesse move over."said Matt."I don't have any room to do our last move."said Matt."This stage is super small."said Greg."Yea,I know.Claud what are we gonna do?"said Chris."Ok,listen instead of doing a split do out cross turn."said Claudia."That's good..."said Frankie."Why?"asked Matt."I couldn't do a split in the first place."said Frankie with a laugh."Good point."said Chris.

"3 minutes left."said Melany as she opened the mall door.She ran past a big crowd of people until she ran into Mandy."Hey."said Melany."Oh,good you made it."said Mandy."Let's get going."said Mandy.

"Late at night, awake and alone
I count the stars in the sky
Every cloud that rolls by
and I think of you, I whisper, I wish
With everything that I am
I'll do all that I can
'Cause baby I, I just want you to see
That baby you mean the whole world to me."sang Greg.Mandy and Melany sat down."It's so right
When I see the love in your eyes
All that I wanna do
Baby is to spend my life with you
and I know
As long as there is tomorrow
I'll be loving you right from the start
With all my heart"sang all the guys."This song is great."whispered Melany."I know."said Mandy.Jesse began to sing.Melany moved to the front row by the stage.Jesse saw Melany and smiled.He took her hand and brought her up stage."Woh-Oh-Oh, I know I'll be strong (I'll be strong, I'll be strong, baby)
With you in my arms (I want you in my arms)
Heaven brought us here together
We belong like this forever.
It's so right
When I see the love in your eyes
All that I wanna do
Baby is to spend my life with you
and I know
As long as there is tomorrow
I'll be loving you right from the start (With all my heart)
It's so right
When I see the love in your eyes
All that I wanna do
Baby is to spend my life with you
And I know
As long as there is tomorrow
I'll be loving you right from the start
With all my heart
Jesse held Melany tight.It seemed like they were up there together for ever even if it only was about 5 minutes."(With all my heart, With all my heart)
Wo-oh-oh, With all my heart."sang Jesse.He let Melany go and he hugged her."I love you."whispered Melany."I love you too."said Jesse.
