The Dark Side

Chapter 5

I woke up snuggled up to Joe in his sleeping bag. He had his arm around me, My hair was messed up, and my shirt was half way unbuttoned, and I had a huge headache. I climbed out of the sleeping bag. Joe woke up. "Some night huh Mell." He said stretching his arms out. "What happened?" I asked buttoning up my shirt. "You don't remember?" said Joe.

"You two had fun last night." said James walking in from the bathroom.  "You know... "

"WE DID WHAT!?!" I yelled at Joe.

Joe flinched. I slapped Joe in the face and ran off to the bathroom. "I think you gave her to much vadca." said James as I slammed to door behind me. I washed up and by the time I got out Joe and James were already gone. There was a note on the door.

                                  GRAB SOME CONTAINERS AND HEAD OUT SIDE WITH US.

                                  I'M SORRY I GOT YOU DRUNK...

                                                                                       LOVE, JOE

I rolled my eyes. I was wondering why that water tasted weird. I walked to one of the big cases, and got out my suit and helmet. I wen't inside the airlock with two containers, and headed out side.

I looked around and spotted Joe and James in the distance, and I walked over.

~~~~~James POV~~~~~

I was shoveling out one of those plants with a small spade. "Should we pick up the soil too?" I asked. Joe just sighed. "Come on Joe, I'm sure you two will forget about it by the time we get home." I told him. He through his spade on the ground. "I didn't know she was drunk the whole time!" Joe yelled. "I wanted to marry her! I had a ring for her back on earth for her and every thing! Now she will never forgive me! What am I gonna do? I don't wan't her to be mad at me. I love her."

Joe slumped on a rock and pouted. I sat next to him and patted him on the back. "My face still hurts." he said. And I thought Mellon rolled her eyes more. "I am gonna give you advise, then ask you a question. Ok?" I said. Joe nodded his head. "You should go up to her, and tell her how much you're sorry, and how much you love her." I said. Joe tucked his arm into his helmet and wiped away his tears."Ok you're right. Now...Whats the question?" I picked up a container. "Should we pick up the soil too?" I asked.

Joe let out a short laugh "Yeah..We should." he said. Then we got back to work.

~~~~~~Mellon's POV~~~~~

Once I caught up to them James told me to pick up the dirt as I'm collecting plants. Joe walked up to me. "Mell... Please hear me out." He begged. I crossed my arms and shifted my weight to one leg. "I didn't know you were drunk, and I'm extremely sorry. I should have known better than to let you drink the whole bottle-"

"Were did you get the alchohal?" I interupted. Joe paused. "I think your radio is still broken." He said. "Listen... I love you very very much, and you know why. I love you more than my job, more than my money, more than God, more than beer, more than-" Before I let him continue, Because I knew it would take a while. I just walked away, and got back to work.
