Melodie's POV

I love how Cole had a little surprise of her own and decided to call me on stage, honestly I missed singing with her and being together on the stage felt right and the crowd loved it. They went crazy as we ended and Cole giggled into the mike, "okay guys, this is my last song and the lovely Miss Melodie is gonna help me out with this one if she doesn't mind", she said standing up from the stool and coming to stand beside me. "Let's do it!", I yell making the crowd go wild. "Alright! This is gonna be a fun one! I wanna dedicate this to Ryan Sitkowski on my behalf and Chris Motionless on Melodie's behalf aka our mans wherever they are!", I smile and let out a giggle, if only this idiot knew, I think to myself as the beginning of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne starts playing and I almost die laughing. As the song plays we go back and forth dancing and singing they lyrics to each other and it feels absolutely amazing. When the song ends we take our bows, first together and then separate and as we're waving at the crowd my eyes catch Ryan's as hes hooping and hollering and laughing as I blow a small kiss and mouth "I'll text you." Cole and I run backstage and quickly embrace each other, "that was amazing!", I yell, "you're telling me?!", she screams back as the crowd begins chanting for an encore, "I'll be back", Cole replies, "I'm only doing one encore and a small meet and greet since I'm gonna be here for awhile. You can head back to my dressing room if you want", she says with the biggest smile as she runs back on stage and I follow, I at least have to see the first verse. "Hey guys I'm back", she says imitating Harley Quinn as the crowd roars in response, "I got one more for you and it's a new one and it goes something like this..." I swear I'm her biggest fan because my heart could beat out of my chest from anticipation as she begins to sing.

Haven't seen my ex since we broke up

Probably cause he didn't wanna grow up

Now I'm out and wearing something low cut

About to get attention from a grown up

This new song instantly has me drawn in and reminds me of Coles stupid ex's and how they hurt her, God how I want all of their heads on a platter. Maybe getting with Ryan will be good for, he's a very respectable and mature xy chromosome so he has my blessing but I will still have to threaten him later if things go the way I think they are. Nothing too bad just the regular you hurt her and I dip you centimeter by centimeter in sulfuric acid. Speaking on Ryan he sends me a texts wanting to know when he can meet his beautiful siren, aww. I send him a text and tell him to head to the car after the encore and that we'll just meet at my house after the meet and greet, I also ask him to prepare the champagne and sparkling grape juice for those who don't want to break edge and I remind him of the bow. As soon as I press send I hear Cole again expressing her thanks and explaining about the meet and greet in 15 mins as I peak out and see Ryan and Chris leaving, apparently I'm not to sneaky because Cole calls me over. "Once again everyone give it up for my best friend!", I do a little twirl and take a bow as an idea hits me as I motion for Cole to give me the mike. "Thanks for the love you guys!", another roar of applause, "and another thanks to Cole for having me on her special day! Come on everybody sing with me!", and with that I begin singing Happy Birthday as the crowd joins and Cole begins laughing as a few stray tears escape her eyes. I hug her and kiss her head as she cried into my chest, "I don't know how this day could get any better!", she musters out, "just wait", I say resting my chin on top of her head and squeezing her.

Time Skip
Cole's meet and greet was awesome! Her fans were so nice! Even I got asked for a few autographs and asked to take a few pictures, it was surreal! One fan even made Cole's birthday cupcakes! And one fan in a MIW shirt came up with her friend and said they totally shipped me and Cole with Ryan and Chris and we just hugged them and thanked them. We finally pull up to my apartment and I look around to see if anything seems off enough to throw Cole. Everything seems to look normal, Chris and Ryan even moved their cars to the other side of the road to look like they were parked at someone else's house. I had texted them a few minutes down the road to tell them we were almost there and almost got caught when Cole asked me what I was doing, it's a good thing I had Instagram open in another window and showed her where one of the fans tagged me in a pic. "It's so good to have you here!" I say and embrace Cole once more as soon as my headlights go off and I wait for Ryan to give me the cue.  "I'm so happy to be here!", Cole exclaims as I let go, "I can't wait to explore Oakland with you! Especially with how you rant and rave about it, I'm excited!", she says with a little squeal at the end. "The first place we have to go is Billie Joe Armstrong's guitar shop! Maybe I'll finally catch him in there one day", I say with a hand over my heart, "maybe", Cole says with a smile, "I really hope you get to meet him. I bet it'd be great to meet one of your heroes", and just as the last words escape Cole's mouth I get a single text from Ryan.
