Melanie's POV

"Lisa! Lisa!" I said running in her direction, and trying to hold my emotions.
"Mel! What's wrong? What happened?" She asked worried
"I don't actually know" I said hugging her tight and crying
"Calm down, let's go to my room and we will solve this, okay?" She said rubbing my back
"Okay" I said wiping my tears

.

We walked to her room and I sat on the bed and busted into tears.
"Mel, please. Tell me what's going on"
"Well, I had a huge argument with Marco" I said whiping my tears
"But you two always argue" she said
"This time was diferent! I don't know why but I said that I loved Erik!"
Lisa raised her eyebrows in shock
"Wow"
"And that's not the worst part of the story! I said that I did not know if I loved him or Erik. I don't know what I was thinking!" I hid my face in my hands
"It's okay, Mel. I think you missed Marco so much and you was so upset that you had to fly to another continent without him, and you spent so many days without seeing him, that you got mad and this was your 'revenge'. You unconsciously planned it to make Marco feel bad to let you go through all of this on your own"
"Maybe you are right"
She smiled at me
"However, I feel really bad because it wasn't his fault. He couldn't fly with me because he wasn't allowed to do so. He didn't deserved to be treated like this. He was so happy to be finally with me and I act like this" I started to rub my face "Lisa, what should I do?"
"Uhm, what was his last words? Like what was the last thing he said to you since that argument?"
"He said that he wasn't going to guve me some time to think if I wanted him or Marco. He would give himself a time to think if our relationship is worth it or not"
I wiped away my tears as she started to say:
"I think you should give him, like, at least, two days to think and refresh his mind. He must be a little tured from the trip. And now his head must be full of thoughts because of this mess you two created"
"You are right. I will" I smirked at her
"Everything will be alright in a few days. Just wait and see" she smirked back
"Thanks, Lisa. You are the best friend I could ever ask for" I then hugged her and she hugged me back
"That's what friends are for"

.

Lisa helped me to be stronger, and to have faith in our relationship. But I was still afraid of a break up. I wanted to find a way of talking to Marco. I really wanted to, but I thought that he wouldn't want to talk to me.
Now I had to talk to all of my friends, so I can see their thoughts on this situation. I would now go after my brother.

Mats' POV

After training I saw Mel running after me, as usual. "What's up? What do you want this time?" I said tired
"I really need your help" she said worried
"Ok. Just let me take a quick shower and I will help you with anything you need"
She nodded and I went straight to the showers. After a while, we met in front of the training pitch.
"What's wrong?" I finally said
She then told me about a big argument that she had with Marco a couple days ago. She also said that she needed my help because she really loved him and that she only wanted to be with him. The problem was that she didn't know how to talk to him to make it happened. Before he decided to do something extreme, such as breaking up with her.
"Ok, ok. Firstly, why did you say that?"
"Do you think I know??"
"Well, I suposed. Because you were the one who said it..."
"You don't want to help me? That's fine! I will find somebody else that has a higher maturity level" she said walking towards the door, but I was fast enough to grabher wrist.
"Mel, stop. I said I was going to help, and I will. Let me start over"
"Ok..." She said sitting again
"Well, he must be really irritated with you. I knew he loved you very much, and it was hard to hear that from you"
"Yes... But what do you think I should do?"
"Let me talk to him. I will try to make things better, telling him your side of the story, how are you feeling with all this, etc. Is that okay?"
"Uhm, I wanted you to help me with what should I say to him. Couldn't you just help me with that?"
"Why you don't want me to talk to him?"
"I think maybe, just maybe, you can make things worse"
"Why don't you trust me, Mel? I always helped you when you needed"
"I know, that's why this time I wanted to solve this situation on my own..."
"Okay, but if he breaks up with you and your way wasn't enough, don't come asking me for help. Because it's more likely that I won't be able to help you"
I said leaving the pitch.
I couldn't believe, she came afterme for help and when I give her a solution she just discard it. I don't like to be treated this way. When I try to help it's my way, my point of view you are asking. Not what you think it's better, because if you knew your way was better than mine, you wouldn't be asking me to help you.
