You and Me

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

It was camp fire night and it was Olivia turn to perform her song and she was singing it with her girls Gigi and Kelly. It was called "Wow" the crowd was loving it even her sister.

Melody: nice jobs on the costumes Jason, way to humiliate her
Jason: *puts arm around Melody* nobody messes with my little sister
Shane: too bad the crowd likes it
Flynn: I don't know, people are calling it a Katy Perry reject
Melody: that makes me feel a little better
Luke: Melody can I talk to you for a moment
Melody: um.. sure
Shane: what's that about
Demi: I'm sure it's nothing
Shane: Flynn...
Flynn: I don't know anything *avoids his eyes*
Barron: Flynn... you're lying what do you know?
Flynn: okay... I think Melody likes Luke
Connect 3: what?!
Mitchie: aww that's so cute
Shane: no, that isn't cute! We have to stop this. She can't like him
Flynn: why not they're perfect for each other. Besides the age differences...
Mitchie: look I haven't told you guys this, but I'm happy for my brother. He's finally happy, I haven't seen this happy in a long time ever since he lost his girlfriend, that's when the trouble started, he blamed himself so much for everything that happened
Flynn: why?
Mitchie: text and drive accident
Flynn: understood
Shane: I'm sorry Mitchie I didn't know, but our sister is way too young to be dating right now
Flynn: why? Plus it's just a crush it's not like it's going to lead anything serious

With Melody and Luke:
Melody and Luke were getting ready back stage with the band.

Melody: I'm so nervous, I'm worried Flynn won't support this
Luke: she will be, you got this, you gotta not be afraid to start taking risk and go for it
Melody: okay... let's do this
Luke: on three
Boys/Melody: one, two, three. Sunset Curve
Melody: by the way we are totally changing the name now that I'm in the band *leaves*
Luke: who made her boss?

After Olivia and her girls performed they got off stage and ran into Melody and the boys.

Olivia: Melody I'm surprise to see you out here again. Or were you trying to get a better look
Melody: no I'm actually performing
Olivia: without Flynn, wow that's a shocker, does she know
Melody: it's none of your business
Brown: next up we have sunset curve
Olivia: well anyways break a leg
Melody: thanks
Olivia: no I mean literary, come on girls *flips hair and leaves*
Melody: I can't stand her
Reggie: why don't you like her anyways?
Melody: she told everyone in my school that I had an "accident" in pre k
Alex: seriously
Melody: what... I was going through a traumatic event and she made it worse
Luke: uh... guys we're on, go *pushes Melody on stage*
Brown: *confuse* Melody? I called Sunset Curve
Melody: I know *fixies her mic and sits at the piano*
Brown: okay... *goes off stage*
Shane: *to Flynn* what's Melody doing on stage?
Flynn: I don't know... she didn't tell me she joined another band
Melody: hi... um... I'm Melody and I will be joining Sunset Curve. This song called Bright.

Melody took a long paused and look over at Luke and he gives her a go ahead and she started playing the piano.

Melody:
Sometimes I think I'm falling down
I wanna cry, I'm callin' out
For one more try
To feel alive
And when I feel lost and alone
I know that I can make it home
Fight through the dark
And find the spark
Life is a risk but I will take it
Close my eyes and jump
Together I think that we can make it
Come on let's run and...

The rest of the band joined her and the crowd started loving their harmonies together. Flynn was just surprise and felt betrayed, by her friend. The boys looked pissed off as well as Brown and Mitchie and the others were happy and excited for them cheering them on.

After their performance they ran off stage and hugged each other.

Alex: that was amazing
Reggie: you sound so good with us
Alex: and the chemistry the two of you guys have on stage together is phenomenal
Reggie: you're right Luke, melody a great addition for our band
???: so she is joining your band

Melody turned around and froze when she found her best friend and brothers with frowns faces and Mitchie had a smile on her face at least.

Melody: Flynn...
Flynn: don't talk to me! You know... I thought you were my friend. When were you going to tell me you were joining another band
Melody: it just felt right... I didn't even want to join your band, you just forced me into it
Flynn: well excuse me, sorry I'm not good enough
Melody: Flynn I didn't mean it like that
Flynn: well I guess you didn't mean to be my friend either
Melody: Flynn wait!
Shane: *grab her arm* no, no, no. We need to talk to you
Barron: I'll go talk to her
Melody: thanks Barron *to her brothers*
Shane: you know what Melody, what are you doing with that delinquent!
Melody: Luke is not a delinquent Shane
Shane: yes he is. Luke he is bad news and Uncle Brown told us to make sure you don't see him because of his issues
Melody: what issues
Mitchie: Shane...
Shane: Mitchie...
Melody: STOP IT! Stop trying to protect me! What issues that you don't want me knowing about Luke that's so bad?

Everyone in the area was quiet and Melody said.

Melody: well?
Jason: he got into some trouble and he had to come to camp
Melody: what trouble Luke?
Luke: I stole a cops car
Reggie: woah, so cool
Alex: I think that's the bad part
Melody: that's it?
Mitchie: Luke...
Luke: it's fine, she needs to hear this herself. I had this girlfriend name Emily... while she's was driving her car we were texting and she ran over a stop light and got hit...
Melody: I'm sorry Luke
Shane: yeah... me too Luke, I didn't know that
Luke: well now everyone knows *leaves*
Mitchie: Luke! Wait up! *goes after him*

With Luke and Mitchie:

Mitchie: Luke stop! Where are you going?
Luke: I'm leaving
Mitchie: you can't leave. Dad said if you try to leave you're going to military school
Luke: everyone knows now Mitchie! What's the point of staying in. I only got into this stupid camp because I was acting out. It's not fair to the others if more people knew the truth
Mitchie: not true, I told mom
Luke: you told mom what
Mitchie: that you can sing and write. I shared her your personal song
Luke: you showed her Unsaid Emily?! That was personal Mitchie!
Mitchie: I know but you need closer Luke, it's still hurting you and you know it. You don't want to talk about it
Luke: because I still feel guilty for what happened
Mitchie: but nobody blames you Luke. Should Emily have not have been texting that night no, she knew the consequences of texting and driving. It's not your fault
Luke: if I known she was driving..
Mitchie: but you didn't know
Luke: there's a lot of things I blame myself for that night it happened
Mitchie: like what?
Luke: I told her
Mitchie: you told her, told her? You idiot! What were you thinking
Luke: I didn't know she was going to react like that
Mitchie: telling her you were in love with someone else on your anniversary was stupid move. You don't break up with someone on anniversary or holidays or birthdays
Luke: I get it gosh...
Mitchie: look... I know you may think of me as your annoying older sister
Luke: oh I don't think it, I know it
Mitchie: whatever, but you have a big heart Luke, and I know this is what you really want to do. I never seen you smile like that in long time
Luke: yeah...
Mitchie: so... do you changed your mind about running away or do I have to tell mom to sent out search party on your ass
Luke: *sighs* I won't run
Mitchie: good boy, come on let's go tell mom the good news
Luke: hey Mitchie can we not tell mom about this
Mitchie: sure

The two smiled and put their arm around each other and headed back into their family cabin together.
