"Do you remember when I used to call you Annie?," He asks me.
"Yes, I just figured out why?,"
"Because You are the Mel to my Annie, " We both say, we laugh.
"Okay Im going to bed, the guest bedroom is to the right,"
"Show me," I grab my hot chocolat, magazines, and my phone. Vincent follows me to the room.
"Okay yeah," I say.
"Melanie thanks," I smile. "for everything, "
"No problem, night," I hug him goodnight.
"Night, " He smirks as I walk out. I walk to the room and call August. No answer, probably asleep or at a concert. I sigh and set my magazine down and turn out the light. I take off my glasses and turn over.

"Vincent what do you want?," I feel his hands wrap around me.
"I cant sleep alone," He says. "Just go along with it,"
"Only one night,"
"Fine, night Annie, " he kisses my cheek. Making me remember the time we were together. The next morning, Vincent leaves to go talk to his fiancee. I skype August on my free time.
"Aye yall shut up," I smile as he tour back to me. "Hey babe," he smiles.
"Hey baby,"
"What was you doing?,"
"Nothing I was going to get my nails done,"
"Do it yourself,"
"No August," I pout. "I miss you,"
"I miss you too,"
"Has it been a month yet?,"
Vincent: u want some pizza
-pepperoni!
Vincent: mhmm
"Melanie you hear me?,"
"No Im sorry baby, say it again,"
"Nah forget it,"
"August dont do that,"
"Nah, forget it," Ding! My timer goes off.
"Wait, my uh cake is done," I make a lie and grab the pregnancy stick. I sigh and see the negative sign. What is wrong with me? I start tearing up again, why am I such a cry baby?
"Melanie?," I hear August voice, I walk back to the computer. "Baby are you okay," I look down at the stick.
"Yeah Im fine," I put a fake smile on my face.
"Melanie dont play whats wrong,"
"I'll talk to you later,"
"Mel-," I close the tab and breathe. I throw away the stick and walk upstairs. August calls and texts me, I just ignore.
"I brought food!," Vincent says walking in. "Are you okay?,"
"Yeah, I was just finishing watching the notebook,"
"Why you lying?,"
"Im not, are you going to share?,"

"So what happened? ," We sit in the bed eating pizza and talking.
"She said that she forgive me but, she dont want me talking to you. But I cant resist," I smile.
