I knocked on her door, someone opened it "It's sam! she's here Mel!!" I don't remember feeling anything other than confused "Oh, Who are you. .?" they looked at me and replied with "Ah! I'm Gabriella! Mel's cousin." She looked so tall, it was almost scary, luckily Mel came back "Sam you came! I'm so glad, come in" I smiled at her and walked in, she was such a cheery happy person.
"I don't remember your house being so big Mel" I chuckled and she chuckled with me "You dummy, sam, we got a new house!" Now I won't like it was rather large and had lots of unnecessary space! "Right, who else is coming?" Gabriella looked at Mel, Probably wondering the same question. "Oh! Ashley, Jessica, Micheal, Amanda, and Chris." They were all popular and in general very kind, so I wasn't mad or annoyed "Cool." Gabriella looked very confused "Are they from your school Mel, Who are they?" I'm sure Mel wasn't as surprised as I wanted her to be "Their friends from school".
Everyone came which made Mel excited, It was great to see her so happy. Her mother walked in with a stick "All right children, were playing tag outside! I'm going to spin and whoever the stick is closest to is counting, ready?" We all either nodded or said yes :] . Once she spun, it was pointed to me "oh." She looked at me "Well I guess Sam is counting! be careful outside kids." said Mel's mother, I wasn't excited but still went with it.
"1 . . 2 . . 3- HOLY SH!T WATCH OUT" Yes I was cheating but, Jessica had almost gotten hit by a truck. I saved her life by cheating. It caused trauma for her but at the time, once she was safe she acted like it was fine. "I'm fine guys, The truck didn't hit me. Let's just go back outside and finish the game. . " Most of us were concerned but we did that.
We went back inside around half an hour later, Mel's father walked in "HAVE YOU BEEN F8CKING ABUSING HER AUDREY??" everyone looked at Mel's father, I felt so bad for her. Her birthday was completely ruined "MATTHEW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS! IT'S HER BIRTHDAY JUST LET HER HAVE A NORMAL LIFE FOR ONCE" Gabriella rushed us to the bathroom and locked the door "Look everything's okay, just stay here I promise I'll fix this" Mel was so scared she didn't even reply
"GUYS STOP FIGHTING THEIR CHILDREN THIS IS JUST TORTURE" Gabriella was feeling quite confident with her words that day. "SHUT THE F8CK UP GABRIELLA, IT'S NOT MY FAULT" Mel's father grabbed a knife. "Matthew put the knife down, we don't need to fight we can talk about this later!" he went over to Gabriella and St2bbed her, All we heard was Gabriella yelling in pain. "YOU- I'M CALLING THE POLICE" Mathew replied with "Not if your dead" He had kicked her to the ground and stabbed her 13 times. Me and Amanda were trying to calm Mel down, All though Amanda should have been calming herself down. "Mel, Mel, Mel, MEL!" we all got quite scared and decided to stay completely quiet. He came upstairs and smashed the door open leading Mel, me and the other kids to the kitchen against our will "Happy birthday Mel" He st7bbed her, I remember it so clearly. Blood on the confetti, everyone yelling, police sirens. C0nf4tt1.
