when anthony walked into my room, i grabbed josh right in front of where alaya was. at first, he looked confused, but i soon smiled and his expression changed. i leaned in quickly and my own heartbeat sped up, then our foreheads touched.
i could feel alaya's eyes burning holes into the left side of my head. laughing quietly, i could tell josh knew what this all meant, so he closed the remaining gap between us. i instantly felt flowers blooming inside of me, they were on my sleeve, my skin. everywhere. but they started to quickly die, i felt a tang of evilness in me. why'd i want to make alaya jealous again? aren't we, surprisingly, just done?
i broke away from the kiss. i felt nothing. the evil in me drained up all the love coming from josh, he touched my shoulder and i heard alaya grumble something. "you-you guys are disgusting. get a room!" she yelled and stomped into her room. i shook my head.
"melanie?" his hand was like fire on my cloth-covered shoulder. the voices started to invade my head. come on! i was just happy, now i'm sad?
"that was immensely stupid of me... i'm sorry." i whispered. my throat burned, sensing me to just shut up.
"really mel? it's okay! i'll always forgive you. i promise." he cooed and gave me a quick hug. i nodded and heard a whistle.
"yo tortolitos! (lovebirds) stop being nasty and come help me." anthony called. we glanced at each other and headed into my room. most pictures on the wall were stacked into boxes. josh and anthony talked about moving my heaviest things in the room. they carried them little by little. and i watched my room slowly go back to how it was when i first saw it.
i peeled the delicate posters off of my walls and stacked them. this will take a little while.

"okay melanie!" josh exclaimed, clasping his hands together. i was standing in the doorway with my arms crossed. i heard ascending footsteps behind me as i stood and watched my room. why was i watching it? i do not even know, i wanted everything to reappear and i want to go back and change this mess. my chest started to tighten, but i felt arms slither around my waist, and a chin rest on my shoulder. i sighed and closed my eyes.
"i don't think i'm needed to go with you guys. you know, on tour." i whispered and his head jerked up, spinning me around with one move of his arm. he was staring into my eyes and looking at them as if they were a book.
"melanie. that night you slept in my arms? i had no nightmares, i didn't feel tired. i felt happy, so so very happy. as if i wanted to move our show on saturday to that same day. i need you to stay with me because i um..." his expression was serious until the last words he said registered into his brain. i raised an eyebrow, confused.
"you what?" i tilted my head.
"nothing. forget about it." he smiled, "let's head to the car. make sure your suitcases have everything you need." he turned around and looked down, walking out the apartment door.
i gathered my suitcase and headed behind him thirty seconds after. i saw no sign of alaya. i can't believe one second we're hanging out with josh dun and another we're splitting apart.
we're goin' to fast, fast, save us.
i rolled my eyes and mentally pushed the lyric out of my mind. once i reached the doorway, i turned around and looked everywhere.
to the left was the kitchen, where alaya and i got drunk and wrote the 'kitchen sink' lyrics all over. it took us weeks to clean.
to the right was the living room. the living room is where we discovered there was marijuana under our carpet. we almost went to jail, but we didn't so thank god.
behind the living room was our tiny dining table. it's where we accidentally snorted watermelon and spaghetti up our noses.
i heard alaya's door open, which snapped me out of my thoughts. i noticed my eyes were burning. we stared at each other for a second, then she cleared her throat and said, "well, i hope you got everything! my sister will be staying here now." she made a fake smile appear on her face and i faked my own. i turned around, shutting the door.
once i was outside, i saw anthony, "okay melanie, you're all done. i'll get you a storage place and text you where it'll be." he rubbed my shoulder and hopped into the truck, starting the engine and heading off. i felt a finger poke my back. turning around, i saw mocha eyes staring into mine, josh immediately pecked my lips and i felt something cold on my hands.
looking down, i saw a crush and pepsi soda can. there was writing on them. he handed me the pepsi and it had writing around the logo. "can't you pepsi?". i looked at him confused.
"see what?" i asked questioningly.
smirking, he handed me the crush soda can, his hands shaking, "i have a crush on you, melanie." it read. my heart beat faster than one of josh's flying drumsticks.
don't even accept it, melanie.
i swatted the thoughts out the door of my brain. josh likes me? i should probably say that aloud, "hold on, you like me?" he glared and slapped his forehead.
"i'd probably mess up if i tried to tell you personally, so after i left, i saw the soda vending machine in the lobby, i was going to tell you tonight but... i couldn't." i wrapped my arms around him without saying a word, and buried my face into his chest.
"you're too cheesy, it's cute." he chuckled, which made his hard chest shake.
"i like you." he whispered and kissed my head.
"i like you more." i replied, smiling.
"no." josh argued and i looked up at him, our noses touching.
"yes!" he growled and picked me up bridal style. as i screamed. he headed to the car and we argued the whole way there.
