" MOM!" I yell as I kick my shoes off and head into the living room. " MOM!" I yell again,

" What's wrong?" I turn around and see my father. I sigh, " Where's mom?" I ask impatiently.

My father is never around, and I'm surprised to see him again. But then again, he's in a suit and tie, so he probably just stopped by to grab a bite and go.

" She went out, to um, food. She went out for grocery's." He says as he grabs a red apple from the fruit bowl.

"Oh." I turn away and sigh, closing my eyes. " Look, Mel why won't you talk to me? I mean, I'm here aren't I?" My father says, and at that very moment a burst of anger goes through me.

" YOU'RE HERE? YOU'RE HERE? YEAH DAD, YOU MIGHT BE HERE, BUT YOUR LIKE A GHOST! A FUCKING GHOST! YOU AREN'T HERE! AND YOU NEVER WILL BE!" I yell, and at that moment, I regret my choice of words. A look of pain strikes my dads face, and I watch him leave, walking out of the door.

I would chase after him but I don't have time, yeah I know I'm probably being a total bitch right now, but I have to talk to my mom ASAP.

I run upstairs and throw the pic on my bed, searching for my old flip phone since I haven't replaced my I phone yet. And at that very moment, I hear a knock on my door.

" UGH!" I moan, running down stairs and swinging the door open.

Will?

" What are you doing here?" I ask impatiently, " Let's Go." He demands, " What? No!" I yell, Will gives me no chance of turning back, he grabs my arm and jerks me out of the house.

Will doesn't let me go, he leads me to his Jeep and opens the passenger door. " Get in." Normally, I would get in, but this whole demanding thing, has got to stop.

" No. Not unless you ask me nicely." I say, folding my arms across my chest. Will runs his hand through his hair. I know I probably shouldn't be thinking this, but Hot Damn! That's a turn on. Will sighs, " Will you, Please. Get In?" I can't help but smile at that, Will's begging is adorable. I finally give in and hop in the passengers seat.

If you where to enter Will's Jeep, you could tell it's an average teen dude car. McDonald's Take out bags everywhere, Soft Drink cups sitting in the cup holders, the windows dirty. But, surprisingly, the car smells amazing. I look around for a free- breeze scent thing and find nothing.

I break the silence, " So, um, how do you keep the scent in here?" I ask Will, who seems some what nervous. " Oh It must be my colon, sorry, is it bothering you?" Will asks too fast. He's totally nervous. But why? There's no reason to be nervous around me. I'm approachable. Kinda. Unless someone pissed me off, then I might come off mean, but other than that. I'm nice.

" No, I kinda like it." What the hell did I just say? Now it totally sounds like I'm nervous, but I'm not. Am I? I don't think I am.

WILL'S P.O.V

******************************

I don't really know where I'm taking Melanie. It probably sounds like I'm kidnapping her, but I'm not. I take a quick glance over at her and can't help but smile, she's mouthing the lyrics to the song that's playing. It's fucking cute. " What?" I turn my head and Melanie is looking at me, " Nothing." I try to say without laughing, " Why are you smiling?" She asks, I look at myself in the review mirror and notice that an old lady is about to pass us. Am I driving that slow? Shit.

" Dude Really?" I yell towards the window, watching the old lady pass me, smiling at me.

" What? Can't accept the fact that an old lady just passed you?" Melanie laughs, I look at her and can't help but laugh back, The speed limit is 50, the old lady is doing fucking 65.

Alright, you wanna play? Let's play. I slam on the gas pedal and the red arrow goes up to 80.

" SHIT!" Melanie gasps, I slam on the breaks and throw my hand over Melanie's chest, keeping her secure. A Semi-Truck pulls in front of us, which makes me slam on the breaks.

My Jeep slowly pulls to a stop. I let out my breathe and rub my neck. I. Am. Horrible.

I almost killed her. I almost killed her. I keep replaying that in my head.

" Are You Okay?" I ask, taking my hand off Melanie, " Yeah!" She sighs, I manage to get a hold of myself and drive the speed limit. Fucking old ladies! God. Fuck You!

I know, I shouldn't cuss old ladies, but she totally asked for it!

Finally, we arrive at Crescent trails. We get out and walk the trail, " Where are you taking me? Like, what was the whole point of this?" Melanie asks. I smile and keep silent.

MELANIE'S P.O.V

***********************

You know how you can sense when a guy is nervous around you? He constantly moves around, or keeps totally silent. Guys. They're so fucking complicated. Will continues down the trail and I still have no idea where I'm going. " Here we are." Will says, moving to the side of the trail. I look up and see the beautiful Pacific Ocean, the sun setting, the water perfectly still. " Wow." I manage to spit out. " Pretty great huh?" Will asks, I nod in amazement. I walk to the cliff and sit down, my feet hanging of the edge in mid air.

Will joins me, sitting close, but keeping distance. " So, what's the whole point of this?" I ask,

" I just thought you needed another point of view. Look, Melanie. I'm seriously extremely sorry for everything. The Night Swim, the calling. Everything." Will sighs, Is this what he brought me here for? To ask for forgiveness? To make my heart feel soft that way it'd be easier for me to forgive him?

" I forgive you." I say, looking out at the waters. Will slowly wraps his arm around my shoulders, pulling my towards him. Without thinking, I lay my head on his muscular shoulder and close my eyes. " Why do you care?" I say, my eyes still closed.

" What do you mean?" Will asks, " Like, why do you care about me? Why'd you want my forgiveness?" I lift my head from his shoulders and look him in the eyes. My God. Will's eyes in this sun set, Crystal blue. His jaw line perfect, and set clenched. Will finally looks me in my eyes, we stare for a moment, not looking away. " Can I tell you something?" Will asks, pulling my hair away from my face and tucking it behind my ear. " What?" I reply.

" I think I might have a crush on someone." I look up at him. A crush? On who? Not me. It can't be me. Then who is it?

I look at Will's lips, calling for me. I bit my lip just looking at him. " You ok?" He asks, I nod, looking away.

*************************************

I end up falling asleep on the way home, Will shaking me way. " Hey, we're back." I open my eyes and smile. He walks me up to my door and stops. " I had a great night. Thank You." I say, opening my door, then he stops me. " I think I have a crush on someone, someone like you." He whispers into my ear, and then leaves me. Walking back to his Jeep, hands running through his hair. Crush on me? No way. That can't be right.

But I already know. It totally is right. Because I feel like, I might have a crush on someone too.

*****************************************************

SO? HOW IS IT? DOES MELANIE LIKE WILL? OR CAMERON?
