Forever And Always (Season 2 of Long Time No Seen)

Chapter 8

Justin hasn't called since we left and it's nearing summer... Cody's been a big help on fixing my heart up... And, well, you know... We're dating now. He's awesome. He's really sweet, funny, smart, and he cares for me. Today's Saturday, and our month anniversary. We're just gonna hang at home alone. My new phone rang.. Yeah, I kinda lost my phone on the airplane. "Hello?" I say in a cheerful voice. Cody: "Hey babe." I smile widely. Me: "Why'd you call?" Cody: "Why? Do you not want me to call you?" I laugh. Me: "No, of course I do! But.. Ya know, I was just wondering." Cody: "Well I was missing you." Me: "Aww... I miss you too." He chuckles. Cody: "Hey well, I gotta go." Me: "What? Why? You just called.." I frown. "Turn around." Though it didn't come from the phone. I turned around and dropped my phone. Me: "Cody!" I squeal and jump into his arms. [lmaoooo. I just imagine that weirdly. xD] Cody: "Hey baby." He sits down on my bed with me on his lap. Me: "Hi.. What're you doing here?" I smile. Cody: "Like I said, I missed you." I hear the radio, and Baby comes on. I frown. It's been the first time in 4 weeks that I've thought about Justin... And the fact that Cody looks so much like him made it worst. Cody: "What's wrong?" I shake my head. Me: "Nothing. Don't worry about it. Listen, my mom'll be home soon and she doesn't like visitors over when she's gone." Cody: "Oh okay. I'll call ya." I smile and nod. Cody: "See you later, KitKat." My heart drops down lower. Damnit. Me: "Bye." I give him a quick peck on the cheek before he climbs down the balcony. As soon as he was out of eyesight, I shut the balcony doors and fell onto my bed. Why does it have to be so complicated? I miss Justin, and I'm not dating Cody just because he treats me right, but because... I just wanna forget about Justin. I start crying into my pillow, thinking of how I messed up everything... I hate myself. *JUSTIN'S POV* I called Melani tons and tons of times, but she never answered... I tried to call her today, but when I called, the robot lady said her voice mail was full. What the hell? I was gonna tell her that we were in San Francisco today, and maybe we could hang out or something. Just friends... I decided to just go visit her face-to-face. That's a good surprise, right? I mean, she said she loved me... So, I changed into a button up shirt and everything. Fixed my hair, covered up my blemishes, I was being a real girl. [xD Not really. 0.o] I went to the store and got purple tulips and a new teddy bear, all the real chiz. I went straight to Melani's house, smiling and confident. But that all went away when I saw Cody climbing up her balcony. I frown and creep up to her back gate. I couldn't hear anything they said. Damnit. I heard Baby come on the radio, and soon Cody was climbing down. I panicked and hid behind a big bush. I watched him walk away, and as soon as he was gone, I quietly climbed up the balcony. Melani was laying on her bed with her back facing me. I looked through the window and saw no sign of anything I gave her. Not even that picture frame... I bite my lip and await the tears that are threatening to pour out of my eyes if I didn't leave soon. She moved on... I can't leave without her knowing I was here. There was paper on the balcony.. Why? I have no idea. But I started writing. "Hi Melani ...." I wrote about what today was... I could write this with my eyes closed. But of course it would've looked like a piece of crap if I did. I closed my eyes and thought back to the first day of last summer. Seeing Melani for the first time... Thinking she was beautiful as HECK, but was too cocky to admit it. I stole her cereal just to taste her spoon.. I annoyed her because she was cute when she was mad. And then there was that moment when I burst into her room. I saw her bare upper half of her body, and damn I was speechless. I've never actually seen a girl's breasts before so yeah. [LMFAO i was laughing during that.. xD] That first day played in my head while I wrote down stuff. Oh how I miss those times. *MELANI'S POV* I guess I fell asleep from crying 'cause when I woke up, it was dark outside. Wait. There was a paper taped to the balcony door. I swing my legs over the side of my bed and walk towards the door, eyeing the paper weirdly. I open the door and look around. Nothing. I saw a teddy bear and purple tulips, though. Justin... I pick up the gifts and untape the paper in a hurry to read the note. I jumped onto my bed and started reading, clutching JustyBear close to me. 

"Hi Melani.. :) It's Justin.. If you haven't already recognized my crappy handwriting. Anyway, I came to surprise you, but I guess you were too busy with Cody.. :/ Um, well, I don't have much to say.. 'Cause your boyfriend might see this and think you're cheating. I know how that feels. So... Do you know what today is? It's been a year, Mels. A year since the day I met a 15 year old girl, wearing teddy bear PJ's, and she hated my guts. Yeah, I think it all started when I ate her cereal. :) Well, I've met this girl before, though I didn't know it back then. A year.. Can you believe it? I remember those arguements we used to have, that Fourth of July, everything. It seems like that happened decades ago. Back then, I was a childish douchebag that loved to mess with you. But now I realize that was wrong. The thing I should've done was told you how I really felt. I loved your eyes, I loved your smile, I loved everything about you when I first saw you. I just felt... Happy when I was with you. But now seeing as you have a boyfriend now, that'll never happen again. But don't worry... As long as you're happy, I'm happy." I saw a few tear spots around that spot. He wasn't happy... "Anyway, I wanted to hang out today since we're in town for a few days... But when I got here, Cody was here, and plus you were sleeping. So, I guess that's it... I miss you, Mels. :) I hope you have fun with Cody. xoxo ~Justin PS: I love you." I sigh loudly. "PPS: Ergh, sorry. My pencil didn't have an eraser. Anyway, um, why haven't you been checking your phone? I called for the 323435324th time today, and it said your voicemail was full. Um, if you, you know, wanna take up that offer on hanging out, call me pwease. :) I love you, KitKat. <3" 

Oh yeah... He doesn't know about my phone. I slap my hand to my forehead and fall back. He was here and I didn't know! Damn this. I dial Pattie's number.. I wanted to surprise him instead of him surprising me. I mean, just 'cause I have a boyfriend now doesn't mean I can't be nice to him anymore.. Right? Pattie: "Hello?" Me: "Hi Pattie." Pattie: "Melani?" Me: "Yeah, um, hi.. Is Justin there?" Pattie: "He's in his hotel room. Why? And why do you have a different number?" Me: "Well, I kinda lost my phone on the plane.. And, uh, I wanna surprise Justin. What hotel are you staying in?" She laughs. Pattie: "You were always the one to lose things.." I laugh. Me: "Yeah, that's me." Pattie: "Well, we're staying in the hotel by the Golden Gate Bridge. I forget the name." Me: "Oh okay. I know where. Thanks Pattie! Oh and don't tell Justin I'm coming." Pattie: "Okay sweetie. See you soon. Bye." We hang up. Time to go see my best friend. I smile as I open up my closet, ready to impress. *JUSTIN'S POV* I walk in to mom's room just as she hung up. Me: "Who was that?" She looks at me. Pattie: "No one." She smiles widely. Me: "Why are you smiling?" Pattie: "No reason.. Get dressed, Justin." I give her a weird look. Me: "Why?" Pattie: "You're going on a date." I slouch my shoulders. Me: "Mom, I told you.. I only want Melani." Pattie: "Please, Justin. Just do it." I sigh and nod, dragging my feet back to my room. I didn't have a choice of good clothes. But I got dressed anyway, thinking of how happy Melani was with Cody. She moved on, so why can't I? There are tons of beautiful girls out there.. But none as gorgeous as Melani. I sigh and lay on the bed, relaxing my eyes for a while. I was almost asleep, maybe thirty minutes later, when there was a knock on the door. I got up and dragged myself to the door, thinking it was mom. But, hell, my guess was FAR away from what it really was.
