Chapter 7- Blood, Blood, Blood
Melanie

"Alex are you kidding me? Why aren't you gonna ride the roller coaster?" I ask,

I was already sitting in the seat of the roller coaster, Em and Nathan behind me, and Dylan in front of me. "Come on Alex, I don't wanna sit alone!" I said,

"No Mel, you know what happened last time, I puked everywhere, even on you, do you want that to happen again?" She asks back and I make a face at that.

"Fine!" I finally agree, then Dylan stood up and sat next to me, "just because you don't wanna sit alone," he said and winked at me, making me roll my eyes.

The ride started and I just smiled with excitement. The ride took many twists, turns and falls, which made everyone scream, but made me laugh. I was laughing like a lunatic! It was so fun. I looked towards Dylan and saw him staring at me with a smile on his face. I ignored it and went back to laughing.

The ride ended too soon. We all got down and I just squealed, "that was AMAZING!" I said, Dylan just laughed seeing me like this.

Next we sat on the free fall ride, then the pendulum ride, then a water ride, then the haunted house etc. etc.

Everything was fucking amazing!

We all then walked towards the Ferris wheel, our last ride. Of course Em and Nathan sat together again. Alex didn't want to come because of her fear of heights, so I got stuck with Dylan yet again. We sat down and then the ride started.

I look down, taking in the mesmerizing view from on top here and smile as I remembered a memory.

~Flashback~

I hold on to my mom tightly as the ride started, "mommy I'm scared," I said,

"Aww baby, there's nothing to be scared of. Look out there, look at all the lights, look at the water waves, isn't it beautiful?" She asks and points at everything.

I look down and slowly my fear faded as I saw everything shine bright in their lights. It looked beautiful. "It's is beautiful mommy!" I said, and enjoyed the view.

~End of Flashback~

I tear slid down my face as I remember my ten year old self with my mom. "Pumpkin?" Dylan calls out. I quickly wipe away the tear and look at him, "yeah?"

"Are you okay?" He asks. And maybe my vision wasn't right at the moment, but I saw concern on his face.

"Yeah I am." I assure.

We both enjoy the ride in silence, and a comfortable one, not the awkward one. The ride ended soon enough and we all got down. We walked towards my car and got in, allowing me to drive home.

Em, Nathan and Dylan left as soon as we reached my home, and me and Alex walk into the house and straight upstairs. We were exhausted.

I had shower, wore my pj's and went straight to sleep.

*****

Blood, blood, blood everywhere on my clean bedsheets.

I go to the washroom, fearing that it wasn't what I was thinking...

yup, I have my periods.

Ugh!!

And it's school day!!

Fucking hell!

I have a shower, change my clothes, and put my bedsheets in for laundry. I go to Alex's room and see her all ready in her uniform, making her hair.

We both go downstairs, I make breakfast quickly, we eat and leave the house. I drove Alex to school and then drive to Rosewill High. I park the car and get out, looking all grumpy.

My day just started in the worst way possible!

I walk in and go towards my locker only to see Dylan, Nathan and Emma.

Great! Just great!

"Morning Mel!" Nathan greets.

"Morning!" I greet, but without any expression.

"Woah, looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed!" Dylan says and I just glare at him. The bell rang, we took our books and walked to our classes.

First class: chemistry.

Me and Dylan were in the same class, and unfortunately, he was my lab partner.

Mrs. S- yeah she wants us to call her that- was explaining some kind of experiment steps, but I was clearly not listening.

I suddenly started feeling pain.

Oh god! Cramps!

I clutch my stomach and bow forward, placing my head on my knees. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, you ok?" He asks, and I shook my head, but then I remembered that he can't see me, so I replied "no!"

I started tearing up because the pain was unbearable. Oh god help me!

"Class, start your experiments with your partners," mrs. S said.

I felt a head pop up next to mine and I knew it was Dylan's. He put his fingers under my chin and lift my head up. His facial expression turned to a look of concern once he saw me crying.

He had to see me like this!

"Oh my god, why are you crying?" He asks,

I couldn't say anything at moment but just cry. And finally I choked up, "I'll be fine, you do the experiment and leave me by myself."

"But-"

"Just do it Dylan!" I demand and he couldn't help but listen to me.

He left me on my own, leaving me completely drown in my own tears.
