Melanie's POV:

"Honey, do you want to pick up some more paint when I get off work?" My mom asked me.

"No, I think I should be good for now. Thanks."

"No worry. I'm going to head off be back in a few hours."

"Okay, bye. I love you."

"Love you, too." She turns around and leaves the room.

Well, the thing that I wanted to do was make the guest bedroom mine. I wanted to make new memories in this one. We moved all the guest room stuff into the garage until the paint finally dries and I get to move my stuff in.

I am painting my walls black and I am going to have quotes written out on them. I'm going to have some red, white, baby blue, yellow and green.

Once I got done painting, I took a shower to wash away the paint.

Andrew's POV:

I broke two knuckles and I have to have a cast for at least four weeks. So, that means no baseball; coach was pissed. Hell, I was pissed; baseball was my way out of this town. I got my heart broken and I had a cast. Now, what am I suppose to do in my free time? Damn, I'm screwed.

Melanie won't answer my calls, so I stopped.

I knock on his bedroom door, "Fable, can I talk to you?"

"Sure, come in."

I walk in he is laying on his bed, "What can I do for you?"

"I messed up?"

"What did you do?"

Then I told him everything. After I finished he smacked me on the back of my head. "Hey, what was that for?"

"Really? How could you do that to the person that means the world to you?"

"The bet was set before I knew her. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I never knew that I was going to fall in love with her."

"So, what do you want me to help you with?"

"I want to get her back. I want to show her the bet meant nothing to me, that she means everything to me."

"Okay so, here is what you do."

Melanie's POV:

School is tomorrow. I am dreading it. I wonder if anyone else knows? What if they do? Will they make fun of me? Will they laugh every time they see me? I send a text to Andrew:

Does anyone else know about this?

After a couple seconds I sent it I got a reply:

Only Derek and Josh plus, Fable. I'm sorry and I love you. <3

What, he told Fable! I got another message. Andrew:

I know you're wondering why I told him. I told him because I need to get you back.

I smile at the thought of what he might do. Then my smile disappears, I shouldn't have reacted that way when he told me he loves me. I love him, too. It's just

that everyone I love has gone away, they leave me. I don't want to lose him.

Now, I can't wait to see what he's going to do tomorrow.

~The Next Day~

Andrew's POV:

I just want to hold her and tell her that everything is going to be all right. I am trying to make all better. I need her to forgive me. I sit in my cramped desk waiting

for lunch to come. I fidgeting, I'm nervous. How will lunch go? Will she forgive me? I hope so, I really. I don't know what to do without her. I can't go back to the

way I was before. I just can't, I don't want to. Melanie has changed me that much.

The bell rang, signaling us that it was end of class and the start of lunch. Oh God, I've never so nervous before.

About half through lunch I stand on my chair, "Ladies and gentlemen can I have your attention, please."

All their eyes were on me. Here I go...

...........

Sorry if this isn't as long as you might have wanted it.
