As we sat in the shitty fort we all sang along with the radio and laughing. "You guys suck" Melody laughed as we sang horribly to Baby by Justin Bieber. "Hurtful" i nudged her shoulder while i laughed "you think you could do better" Mike laughed "way better" she smirked "next song is all you" Matt chuckled she rolled her eyes but smiled when the radio announcer said 'Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off' by Panic! At The Disco was coming on "i take it you know this song" i chuckled "maybe" she paused "I'm changing up some of the lyrics" she smirked as the song started "Is it still me that makes you sweat? Am I who you think about in bed? When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your vest? Then think of what you did. And how I hope to God she was worth it. When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch her skin. I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck. Than any girl you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me. Boy I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of. Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat? No, no, no, you know it will always just be me..." She sang along. Me and the guys just stared at her in awe. Melody has a good voice. "...Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster. Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster" she finished as the song ended. All of us clapped. "Thank you, thank you" she did her best to bow while sitting down. "Didn't know you could sing" i said "lots of people don't know. Also theres the fact that i just met you guys yesterday" she pointed out and stood up "where you going" Matt pouted "i need to unpack and take apart your fort. I start work in a few days" she said "where you working?" Ian asked "some bar" she shrugged "does that bars name happen to be Cambie Bar and Grill?" I asked "i think, why?" She answered as she took one of the boxes away from our fort "just wondering" i said as she started to put away some stuff.

"Thank you for dinner miss Mae" i smiled after I finished eating "yeah thanks it was really good" Ian also said "any time guys" she smiled and took all of our plates. "Im going to start the fire now" Melody stood up and walked to a small shed in the back of the yard. She grabbed some logs and set them in the fire pit, then she went back to the shed and grabbed some newspaper "need any help?" I asked as i stood up and walked over to her "i think I'm good" she said biting her tongue while trying to light a piece of newspaper. "Do you have a lighter? Mines out" she asked, i took my lighter out of my pocket and passed it to her. "Nice zippo" she chuckled and lit the paper. She threw the paper into the middle of the pit and everything slowly started to burn "where'd you learn how to make a fire?" I asked "me and my old friend got really drunk one day and it was like 7 pm and we got bored and wanted s'mores so i made a fire since my friend was afraid of fire" she said "fun" i chuckled "it was until i burnt my hip. Well my friend burnt my hip" she laughed as she stood up from her place by the fire "ouch, what happened?" I asked "well we were sitting by the fire and we had those hotdog stick things for roasting marshmallows, and she saw a bee and she's allergic so she stuck the stick in the fire stabbed a hot coal and when the bee landed on my hip she stabbed me with a hot coal" she said "nice friend" i mumbled "she was drunk, couldn't blame her" she sighed "sorry.. Didn't mean for you to hear that" i said "nah its fine, me and her aren't friends anymore." She shrugged "oh..." I said awkwardly "wanna see the scar?" She asked "umm why?" I asked "its shaped sorta like a heart. Its cool" she chuckled lifting up her tank top slightly "holy shit thats so cool!" I exclaimed at the heart shaped scar "i love it! Even though it hurt like a bitch when it happened. Its like a tattoo. But a burn" she chuckled and dropped her shirt.

The rest of the night consisted of us hanging around the fire, Melody's mom left around 9 saying she was still stuck on Washington time. The guys left around 10 and I'm still out here with Melody now at 11:30 "your such an asshole" she giggled as i threw a marshmallow at her "how am i an asshole?" I laughed "throwing food and what not" she smiled and threw the marshmallow back at me, i caught it and threw it in the fire "burn motherfucker burn" she chuckled as we heard her gate shut "Joshie?" Amanda walked over to us. "Yes Amanda" i sighed. "Why aren't you home?" She asked as she sat on my lap. I reluctantly wrapped my arms around her waist "because I'm hanging out with Melody" i said "Melody. What kind of name is that" Amanda laughed "a musical one" Melody said "wow. Were your parent high when they named you" she laughed again "no" Melody mumbled "then why the fuck are you named 'Melody'." Amanda said putting air quotations around 'Melody' "because my dad liked the name" Melody said looking at the fire "wow. Does your dad hate you" Amanda chuckled "no. He loved me" Melody stood up and walked over to her house and grabbed the bucket of water we filled up after her mom went to sleep. "Don't be a bitch" i snapped at Amanda. Amanda glared at me and stood up off my lap once Melody came back "did your daddy leave you princess. I bet he ran off with another woman" Amanda laughed "he didn't run off" Melody spat "really now. Did he slowly just disappear then" Amanda took a step closer to Melody, Melody was a few inches taller than Amanda. "My father died in a car accident" Melody said as she dumped the water on the burning logs. Amanda was silent. "Now since you found that out. Get the fuck off my property" Melody hissed and stormed inside. "Someones pissy" Amanda smirked and started to walk away "come on Joshie lets go to bed" she turned and smirked at me then turned back around "no" i said flatly as i walked towards her "what?" She asked once i got to her "i said no." I spat as we got out of Melody's backyard "whats up your ass" she asked "you were a complete and utter bitch back there Amanda! You cant go around treating people like shit" i said "why do you even care? She nothing but a little slut" she spat "shes not a slut! You don't even know her!" I said "neither do you" she seethed and stormed back to my house.
