My Only hope

Chapter 9: Missing Them Mel's P.O.V

Me and Kevin have been together for two months now, but he isn't really what my attention is directed towards. Since he has been away for over two months, I really miss Simon. I also miss Tom, he hasn't been around since he hooked up with Cass at the party. It's kind of lonely without them here. The guys are always leaving me alone with Kevin, Jon, Mark, or Ethan. I try to beg them to stay home but they still leave because their girls need them more apparently.

Right now, I'm home alone with Ethan. I've been in my room sick all day and Ethan has been tinkering with his truck. Jon, Mark, and Kevin left for the car dealership a few hours ago to get Kev a new truck. James and Steve went bowling with their girlfriends. All of us have a date, but we haven't met Mark's yet. I haven't spoke to cassidy in a while and Simon isn't going to come home for another two weeks. I hear a knock at the door followed by Ethan poking his head in through the doorway.

"Hey Mel, how you feeling," he asks walking in and sitting on the bed next to me.

"Still feel like crap. Hear anything from Kevin yet," I ask, really missing kevin.

"Nope, I haven't had my phone on me because I was tinkering with my truck. I came in here to ask you the same question and give you some company. I also made sure that I grabbed my phone before coming up here so you can play some games," he says handing me his phone.

I take it from his hand, enter the passcode, and go to my favorite game. While it loads, I climb onto his lap and lay my head on his shoulder. "Heard anything from Tom, Simon, or Cassidy lately?'

"I spoke to dad this morning. I haven't had any contact with Cassidy since she stuck her tongue down Tom's throat at the party. That's also the last time I spoke to Tom. Why, do you miss them?"

"Ya, I miss everyone. I just want to have a day where everyone is all together and watching movies or go to the park," I say getting frustrated at the situation and the game. I give up on the game and give him his phone back before I sigh and start playing with Ethan's fingers.

"You alright," he asks getting concerned. I never play with his fingers unless I'm upset or really bored.

"No, I'm not alright. I miss Tom and I want simon to be here to hang out and take naps with me," I say starting to cry. "I miss them so much Ethan. I want everyone home."

As I start to sob, Ethan wraps me in his arms and starts rocking me side to side, but it doesn't work. The only ones that can calm me down are Kevin, Tom, and Simon. Ethan dials his father's number and puts me on the phone with him after explaining why he was calling.

"Hi Melody," he says happily.

"Hi Simon. is there any chance you would be able to come home early," I ask with a strained voice.

"I don't know sweetheart. If I hear anything I will tell you. How ya feelin'?"

"I've been sick all the day and had just Ethan around."

"Where are the rest of the boys. I told them all to take care of you while I'm away," he says starting to get mad.

"Kevin took Jon and Mark with him to get a new truck. James and Steve are bowling with their girlfriends."

It does make me feel better when Ethan shows me a text from Kevin saying they were on their way home. Kevin said I would be his first passenger, so I can't wait till he gets home. Simon seems to get madder because I hear him curse and start talking to someone else. As I wait for him to come back on, I start to feel something coming up in my throat. I hand Ethan the phone and sprinted to the bathroom holding my hand over my mouth.

Simon comes back on the line and I think he is worried when he hears that we have to call him back later. After saying goodbye and hanging up, Ethan enters the bathroom as I'm puking my guts out. Kevin is not going to be happy. Just as I think this I hear kevin's voice.
