CHAPTER 5

It was still raining but not as hard or rough. Only sprinkling. I had drove to Melanie's in hopes that maybe at least one of our friends were there. Luckily, Hailey had been there.

"He was being such a dick AND you'll never guess who he brought home." I tell the two girls.

"Please say it wasn't Bella." Hailey replies, "Fucking Bella. They got back together! And then he was like telling me to leave and shit OH and he had the FUCKING audacity to ask why I was 'being mean' to Bella! AND Chris was trying to say how I was their friend and this kid for real said he's your friend not mine. Like bitch. And I didn't do shit to him!" I exclaim.

"They got back together?!" Hailey and Melanie exclaims.

"Yeah! Like she was such a dick, yet I'm the mean one! He completely flipped on me. One moment we were all bestie bestie and then the next he's saying how Tangled- which is literally our movie we watch every time I come over- is childish!" I reply.

"bitch better get some glasses because if he can't notice the vibrant red flags she waves around all day long, paired with her minnie mouse voice that's not only squeaky but it's used to contaminate the sound waves on this planet... then he must be colorblind and deaf. But oh well what do I know except kids gonna get his poor heart broken." Melanie replies.

Me and Hailey bust out laughing at this while Melanie only stifles a small laugh.

"I'm being honest. I will smack the fuck outta him." Melanie laughs.

"Please do. He's such a dick." I reply/

"What the fuck! He needs to learn to get a fucking personality of his own." Hailey says, "He does! And it's all for a fucking hoe! And Hailey, I'm sorry I'm calling her a hoe but she is! And I hate to say it but she is! She's using Matt to loose her virginity to someone hot! She could give two fucks about him!" I reply.

"No, don't be sorry cause I agree. She gets with every hot guy who falls at her knees, just so she can loose her virginity to them and it disgusts me. I'm so glad none of them decided to actually let her in their pants." she says, "Same." I sigh.

"What's up?" Melanie asks me.

"I'm just worried. Worried about Matt. I don't want Bella to hurt him." I sigh, "If you like him you can just say so." Hailey laughs.

"I'm being serious. She's leading him on just to get in his pants. What if he actually starts to love Bella? Then what? It's not like she loves him back. He's gonna get heartbroken, he's just too stubborn to let me help." I reply.

"He'll realize it soon. But it's on him if he realizes it too late." Melanie states, rubbing my back.

"I think that's the most inspirational thing you've ever said." I laugh, "Oh, I read it off of a magnet." she says, pointing to her magnet on her fridge that clearly read He'll realize he loves you soon, it's on him if he realizes it too late.

"And here I thought you were being inspirational." I say, "I can totally be inspirational if I wanted to." she laughs.

That was the thing about our friend group. One of us could be feeling down, feeling at our worst, yet some friend in our group still knew how to make everything feel as if it had just been a dream, as if everything was fake and our worries were washed away with the ocean tide. That person would almost always be Melanie. She was the funny one. She made everything feel nice, feel better. She was the funny one- all of us were funny there was just something about Melanie that had always felt different for the rest of us.

All it took was one laugh from her and our worries and anxiety had disappeared into thin air. Gone.

"You'll be okay though. He'll be okay." Melanie says, rubbing my back.

"Now, how about some caramel ice cream." 

"Yes please!" Hailey and I exclaim.

KIERA SPEAKS: it's a little shorter sry bout that but um... yeah here's this
