Melina's * POV *
I woke up and checked my phone. It was 9:36pm. I looked over and Aliah was still asleep. I lazily got up and walked to the kitchen. I decided to make everyone breakfast. I took everything I needed out for pancakes, bacon, and sausage. I took a few pans out and started cooking. Aliah needs a nice home cooked breakfast especially after her moms funeral. Plus she didn't eat all day yesterday.

I was cooking when I felt someone wrap there arms around my waist. It's Nate. " I didn't even hear you come in " I said and turned around. It was Sammy. I pushed him off. " what are you doing ? " I said getting angry. " I know you still like me " he said. " that's where you're wrong " I said rolling my eyes. " nope. I know you like me. " he said. " oh really ? " I said. " yes. I'm positive. " he said crossing his arms. " nope. You're wrong " I said leaning my back against the counter.

He walked close to me and put his arms on the counter behind me so I was in between his arms. He leaned in and kissed me. I tried my hardest not to kiss back but it took over me. I kissed him back and he put his arms around my waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We kissed for about 5 more seconds when he pulled away. " I knew you still liked me " he said smirking and winking at me.

He left me standing there in shock. I just kept cooking and tried to forget what just happened. I went and woke everyone up. They all came into the kitchen. " SURPRISE I MADE BREAKFAST " I said holding my arms up. " Yes! I'm starving " Nash said walking to over to the food. Sam walked over with him. Aliah stood there. I looked at her confused. " thank you Mel but I'm not hungry. " she said smiling. That was definitely a fake smile. " come on just eat. It's good I promise. " I said trying to bing her over to the food. " Melina I'm not hungry " she said trying to pull back. " Aliah you need to- " she cut me off by snatching her hand away and yelling " I SAID IM NOT HUNGRY " everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

" I-I'm sorry " she said quietly putting her head down and walking to her room. I looked at Nash and Sam and they looked at me. I went to her door and tried to open it but it was locked. " Aliah let me in. " I said knocking on the door. Sammy ran over. " Aliah. " he said. " go get a screwdriver " I said. Sammy nodded and went to the garage. " what's wrong ? " Nash said. " I don't know. But I knew this would happen. If what is in there is what I think it is I would stay out here " I said.

Sammy ran in with the screwdriver. I took it and unlocked her door. She wasn't in there. I went to her bathroom. I didn't even knock I just opened the door. She wasn't sitting on the toilet trying to open a bottle of pills. She was crying. " it won't open! " she said getting mad. " Aliah stop! " I said trying to take it away from her. " stop! " she said. I couldn't get them away from her so Sammy came in and took them away and threw them out of the bathroom. " what are you doing ! " she said still crying. Her cheeks had dry tears on them. She started crying again. Sammy put her head on his chest and hugged her.

" I want to be with my mom. I need her. I can't do this " she said crying into Sam's chest. I started to cry. I covered my mouth and went to walk out of the room but Nash was right there. He just hugged me. I cried and cried. " I almost lost her. She's my best friend. " I said crying into his neck. He hugged me even tighter and rubbed my back.

Later that day we took her to a therapist. The therapist told us that Aliah had a lot of self problems. Also she has a lot of family issues. I can't believe she didn't tell me this.

I jerked up. I was in bed? I looked over and Aliah was sleeping. Oh my god. " it was just a dream " I said quietly to myself. I took a deep breath and got up. I went into the kitchen and made a bowl of cereal. I was in the middle of eating my cereal when Sammy sat next to me. " I'm sorry for last night I- " I cut him off. " it's ok " I said. " really? " he said. I smiled and nodded. " oh. Ok. " he said and sat on the couch. I put my bowl in the sink and went to Aliah's room. She was awake and on her phone. I ran over to the bed and jumped on her. " Melina ! " she said laughing. I laughed and got off her.

" are you ready to leave tomorrow ? " she said. " oh shit I forgot. I have to get packing. " she said jumping out of bed. " I'm gonna take a shower first. " she said. I nodded. When she walked into her bathroom I changed into a peach colored tank top with lace on the back and shorts with lace on the front and studs on the right pocket. I braided my hair and put deodorant on. I sprayed perfume and grabbed my phone. " Aliah I'll be back soon " I said yelling towards the bathroom.

" ok. " she said. I walked out of her room. I was walking towards the front door when Sammy stepped in front of me. " where are you going ? " Sammy said. " I'm going to Nates. Move " I said trying to move him but he took my hand and put me against the door. " Sam get off of me " I said struggling to get out of his grip. He ignored me and kissed me. " Sammy stop " I said and turned my head. He kissed my neck. " SAMMY " I said pushing him. He wouldn't budge. " what the hell dude ? " Nash said pulling Sammy off of me.

Sammy just scoffed and walked away. " what happened ? " Nash said. " I-I don't know. He was fine this morning " I said. " ok. Are you ok? " he said. " Ya I'm fine. I'm going to Nates. " I said walking out of the door. I walked across the street and knocked on his door. " hey " I said as he opened up the door. " oh hi, um what are you doing here ? " he said closing the door behind him. His shirt was off. " I just came to tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you ok? " I said.

" ya I'm- " he said but I heard a girls voice in the house. " Nate what are you doing " a girl said opening the door. She had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was just wearing a big flannel. I stood there in shock. " who is this ? " I said. " I'm his girlfriend who are you? " she said putting her hand on her hip. I looked at Nate in disbelief. " Melina- " he said grabbing my hand but I snatched it away. " you asshole. I can't believe you. " I said and walked back to Aliah's. I walked in her house and closed the door behind me.

" hey where did you go ? " Aliah said unwrapping the towel that was on her head. I looked at her with tears in my eyes. " Melina what happened. " she said. I didn't say anything. She ran to me and hugged me. She pulled away. " Melina tell me what happened. " she said. We sat down at the table and I explained to her the whole Nate thing. " I'm so sorry " she said. " it's ok. I'm not going to cry over him. " I said sniffling and wiping under my eyes. I took a deep breath. " go Mel " she said giving me a high five.

A few minutes later Sammy walked in. He looked at me.

Sammy's * POV *
I walked in the kitchen and saw Aliah and Melina at the table. Melina looked at me and her eyes were puffy. She was crying. " what did he do. " I said. She just shook her head. I walked out of the house and went straight to Nate's house. I knew he was going to hurt her. I got to his house and knocked on the door. He opened it and some girl was with him. I got even more angry. I punched him in the jaw hard. I just walked off of his porch and went back to Aliah's house.

" what did you do? " Melina said getting out of her chair. " I punched him. " I said. " Sammy you can't just go around punching people. " she said. " but he deserved it didn't he? " I said. She nodded. " he really did " she said. I walked over to her and hugged her. " I'm sorry " I said. " about what ? " she said. " about everything " I said. She looked into my eyes. " it's ok " she said hugging me again. I hugged her tight. I missed her hugs.
