"Pumpkin-" "don't you dare call me by that word ever again!"
*****
Melanie Miller, not your average girl. She turned herself from a fatso and a nerd, to a hot girl and a team captain.
Pumpkin, is the word she loathes!
She has grown to hate the word...
I go back home and wear my black tank top with black ripped jeans. Yeah, I'm following what Dylan said, the last thing I want is him asking me endless questions of why I didn't wear all black.
Anyways, I get ready and drove to Emma's. Me and Dylan were supposed to apparently hide somewhere and make sure that everything goes as planned.
I found Dylan hiding behind the bushes, so I tapped on his shoulder, startling him. "God you scared me." He said and I chuckled. I squat down next to him and ask, "where'd you put the first chit?"
"On the welcome mat there."
"Yeah because that's the first thing she'll see right?" I ask and roll my eyes. "Seriously why-" Dylan shut me up by placing his hand on my mouth.
I saw Emma walk up to the door and surprisingly, she did look down, finding the chit. Dylan looked at me with a I-was-right-after-all-wasn't-I? Look, making me roll my eyes yet again.
She entered the house and we wasted no time to run behind her. She walked from places to places as the chit said and finally we saw her go upstairs. After a few minutes, she came back downstairs all dressed up. She left the house and we walked behind her, making no noise.
We're sneaky aren't we?
Dylan goes up behind her and wraps a blindfold on her eyes. She was about to scream but he covers her mouth and picks her up, putting her on the seat behind in the car.
Dylan and I sat in and he starts driving. "Nathan is this you? I swear Nathan if it is I swear to god I'll- oh forget it I can't do anything!" She exclaims, making me almost laugh out loud.
We reached the place and got out of the car. Dylan opens the back door, gets Emma out of the car and walks her to the dinner table. He removes her blindfold and ran back to the car as if there was no tomorrow. Me and him hid behind the car watching as Emma and Nathan started talking.
"That's some great arrangements pumpkin." Dylan said, making me smile, "thanks." I reply.
"It looks beautiful!" He said and I nod.

That's what it looked like. I am great aren't I?
We both enter my car and I drive to Emma's place so that Dylan could get his car. We both drove to my place and he parked his car next to mine. Why'd he park his car here?
I got out of the car at the same time Dylan did. "Why'd you park your car here? You can go back to your place you know that right?" I ask,
"It actually getting really late and I'm really tired, so can I-"
"Stay here? Yes you can."
What? I want him to stay at my place.
Wait what?
We both enter the house and go straight upstairs. I check Alex's room and found her sleeping. "Goodnight pumpkin."
"Goodnight Dylan." I said before entering my room. I get changed and jumped straight on my bed, loving the comfortable feeling of my bedsheets. I close my eyes and soon enough, darkness engulfs me.

I screamed and woke up crying. My cheeks were wet and puffed up, and I'm pretty sure my eyes were red too. I check the time and it was 3:30 am. This nightmare scared me shitless!
Someone opened my door and Dylan barged in, he came running to me and held my cheeks in his hands, "what happen? Are you ok? Why are you crying?" He asks,
"Phone." I say,
"What?"
"Give me my phone!" I demand and Dylan hands me my phone from the bedside table. With shaky hands, I go through my contact list and call Derrick.
Pick up, pick up, pick up pleas-" hello?" He answered and hearing his voice made me cry even more. "You ok Mel? Why are you panting?" He asks,
"Nothing, I'm ok, I just wanted to hear your voice." I said,
"Alright. Take care kid and call me anytime you need me." He said and hung up.
"What happen? Tell me." Dylan asks,
"I had a nightmare in which Derrick died in a plane crash. I can't have that. That's the worst thing that could happen. If that happ- no it won't. It'll never! Right Dylan?" I ask, still crying and he nods.
"Stop crying please, I can't see you like this." He said and hugged me. My head was on his hard chest, and even in a time like this, he managed to make me go as red as a cherry.
"I'm right next door if you need me." He said and stood up to leave. I caught his wrist to stop him, "Dylan would you sleep next to me? I'm- I'm still not over the nightmare." I say,
"Yeah sure." He said and slept next to me.
He places his hand on my eyes, closing them, "go to sleep pumpkin." He says and just like that, I went back to sleep.
