BACK UP GIRL

waiting

MELANIES POV

When I got home I unblocked Tom and went to sleep.

So when I woke up the first thing I did was check if he had messaged me. He didn't. Maybe he didn't have time. Maybe he's doing it right now.

I get dressed. Once that's done I check if he's texted me. He didn't. I just need to be patient. Since he's like suspended for two weeks he's probably sleeping in. He normally sleeps in anyway.

I go to school and meet up with Alison and Melisa.

"Hey" Alison says extending the 'y'. I smile at her. "Hey" I say in the same tone and stuff. I would tell them about what was going down yesterday with me and Tom but I don't think they'd quick like it.

If Tom actually breaks up with Julie and proves that he wants me then I'll tell them, as for now I'll keep quiet. I don't want a lecture.

I check my flip phone to see if had messaged. Again he hasn't. I'll check later.

It was now lunch and I had checked my phone at least 49 times today. "You alright Mel?" Alison asks. "What? Yeah" I reply. "Really? You seem kinda out of it" Melisa says. I just nod.

"You keep checking your phone. You expecting someone to message you?" Alison asks smirking. "Sorta" I say being honest.

I don't want to give them too much detail or else they'll know it's Tom and yeah that won't go down well.

"Who?" She asks excited. "Just someone" I reply shortly. "Is it a boy you like?" Melisa asks. I stay quiet. "Omg!! It is!" Alison and Melisa say at the same time.

"Who!!" They ask over and over again. "Just someone" I say not wanting to tell them. "Come on! Tell us!!" They plead. "You'll find out later" I say. "Oh really?" Alison says. "Yeah I'm just waiting to make sure it's real you know?" I say tilting my head.

"I understand" Melisa says.

"As long as it isn't Tom or someone like Tom or anyone associated with Tom it's all good" Alison says smiling at me innocently.

I raise my eyebrows.

Well too bad Alison cause it's someone associated with Tom, it's someone like Tom and it is Tom! If you couldn't guess.

I feel a buzz. My eyes widen and I quickly check my phone. "Ooo is it him" Melisa says. I frown. "No.. it's just my mum" I sigh. "Oh" Melisa says.

I'm starting to loose hope.

TOMS POV

Today, Julie was skipping school and she wanted me to come and go shopping with her. She only wanted me to go so I could hold all her bags, not to spend some quality time but oh well.

I was gonna break up with her anyways.. at least I think I will. I told Melanie I would. So I have to right?

I meet up with Julie, she's with some of her mates. Bitches obviously.

We were at the mall.

Julie was ignoring me and just speaking to her friends. I had about five bags in my hands. I wonder what Melanie is doing.

Julie went into the changing room with her friends. She had told me to wait on the couch and look at all her outfits.

She walks out with all her friends.

"What'd you think?" Julie asks me. "It looks nice?" I say not interested. "You guys see what I mean?" She says all of a sudden.

I look at her confused.

"At this point it's like does he even love me" she goes on. Yes, I don't love you.

"He's not even a good boyfriend, he's not even that good looking to be with me and I still have him a chance" she says. Wasn't this girl trying to plot on me though?

I pull more of a confused face.

"See now he's confused. You guys don't know what it's like to have a stupid fucking boyfriend" she complains.

"It's okay babe. You deserve so much better" one of her little minions says while patting her on the back. What is this shit bro?

"Why can't you just be better to her?" Another one says. "Be better to her? I'm the one that's been paying for all this shit, taking her places, holding everything!" I say. "All she's done is complain" I say getting mad.

"Oh my god! Why you blaming her" they say. "Men" another says rolling her eyes. "You're literally one of the worst boyfriends ever" Julie says.

"I don't need this shit" I say. "Julie I don't like you, we're done" I say. "What?" She says as her face drops. "Can't you hear me? We're done meaning I don't want to be with you anymore" I say slowly.

"Or do I need to break it down a little more" I say.

I then walk away and find the exit to the mall.

Okay, now I need to find Melanie.

I can't believe I wanted that thing for a long time not realising I had a ten out of ten, amazing girl who actually, genuinely cared for me right in front of me.

Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with me.

I'm pretty sure Melanie still had me blocked so I can't call or text her. So maybe I can get to school before it's the end of the day and she'll be home.

I'm not gonna lie I have no idea where she lives. She never wanted me going to her house she always wanted to come to mine. Which I don't really mind. I never really minded I always liked her at my house.

She's the only girl I ever really let come to my house.

MELANIES POV

It was nearly the end of last lesson and I was checking if Tom had texted me. I sigh. One again he hadn't.

Maybe he was just playing me yesterday.

I mean how could Tom Kaulitz actually want me? I mean come on let's be realistic. I'm very been waiting nearly all day and I haven't got a single message or some type of hint.

The bell rings and it's time to go home.

Me and Melisa meet up with Alison.

"Finally it felt like I was in that class for five hours" Alison complain. I laugh slightly not really in the mood.
