Melody's POV
------------------------------
I couldn't stop crying.
Hours passed by.
Then finally my tears stopped.
I sniffed. "What time is it?" I asked Aaron
"4 am" He said
I looked at his eyes, he had dark circles under them.
I wonder how long he's been here.
"As long as you have, which has been 2 days now." He said looking sadly at me.
Hmm.. I must of said my thoughts..
I saw tear stains on his face.
Whoa he was crying???
I never knew he could cry...
"Thanks for staying with me" I said slurring my words.
OMG did I just say that out loud?!
At first he looked shocked, just a little, but then he smiled and patted my hand.
"No problem"
"You should get some sleep." He said softly getting up to leave.
"Are you leaving?!?!" I started panicking.
No one else was here.
Emma left before I woke up and my mom isn't here and Becky is sick with the swine flu.
He sat back down and chuckled a little bit.
"I was just going to get something to drink."
"Oh..." I feel like a idiot.
I smiled weakly.
Gosh, I feel horrible.
Hmmm... I wonder why???
Aaron picked my hand back up and started stroking it.
I wanted to pull away, but I couldn't.
Soon enough I was asleep again.
------------------------------
2 weeks later
------------------------------
I HATE school...
Why do I need to learn it??
I mean like I'm probably going to die before I graduate.
What a positive thing to think!
I was drumming my fingers on the lunch table when someone approached.
I looked up it was none other than. Aaron.
I smiled at him, he smiled back.
We've been on friendly terms since the hospital.
"Hey" He said sitting down next to me.
"Hey.." Was all I could say before Emma and Becky came and sat down arguing about some lip gloss.
"I swear that one is mine!!" and a "NOOOO... Its mine!!!" and on and on and on...
For about another 10 minutes.
Then Emma looks in her purse and finds... yup the lip gloss.
"Ooohhh... So it IS yours.." I just rolled my eyes.
I'm so tired.
I laid my head on my arms and fell asleep.
In my dream I'm running.
I'm running towards someone.
I don't know who it is, it's a guy though.
I ran right into his arms.
He wrapped his arms around me.
I looked up at his face.
It was...
Then I woke up.
"Hey, Mel. Wake up" Someone said.
"5 more minutes" Trying to go back to sleep.
"Ok if you want to be late to class then go ahead."
I knew that voice, well duh.
Its Aaron.
I lifted my head and said "I'm not going to class. I'm going to ditch, I don't feel too well."
Right now only Aaron, mom, Emma, and Becky know about my illness.
"Ok too." He said smiling.
"No, you go on to class" I objected.
"Nah, schools boring anyways."
"True.. But.. Ah whatever.." I said getting up.
I threw away my unopened lunch and started walking towards the parking lot.
Dang it, how am I suppose to get home without a car??
"I can drive you." Aaron said from behind me.
I must of said my thoughts aloud again...
Wait. He can drive??
Oh yeah he got held back in the 4th grade.
"Ok thanks." I said before I tripped over a stranded backpack.
Aaron caught me and pulled me to his chest.
"Are you ok??" He said worried.
"Yeah." Was all I could say.
This feels so familiar.
Then I remembered my dream.
The guy, the hug, I looked up and saw the guy from my dream.
The guy from my dream was Aaron.
