You're The Only One

Chapter Four

I woke up the next morning and found French toast and orange juice next to me. “Well, good morning sleeping beauty.” Emily smirked up at me. I groaned but, got up and ate. “Meloney it’s like seven and your phone has been going off like crazy.” I looked up at her, a little shocked. I looked at my phone and found that I had 30 messages all from Andrew. I closed my phone up and threw it under my bed. “I don’t want to talk to him.” She looked at me understanding. I ate my breakfast, she left to go to her school and I left to go to my school which I wasn’t looking forward to.  

I was late to first period and got yelled at by my French teacher. Next was music so I was happy about that. “I sorry to say this but, we need to cut something from the school and the PTA decided to cut the music department.” Mr. Williams sounded really upset. My eyes were filled with disbelief. “Fortunately, if we can win the contest for best music in the upcoming competition we can win the money and keep the department.” I was so full of relief that we could possibly keep the department. “So I have chosen two students to perform together, Meloney and Andrew.” I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. After class

I went to talk to Mr. Williams, “Excuse me, I don’t want to participate with Andrew.” “But, you two are my best students.” He complained back. I sighed, “Then just let me perform you haven’t told him yet right?” He nodded. “I haven’t I have him next period. If you honestly, feel this way I won’t let him perform with you but, you have to perform the song you always sing when you’re alone. Yes, I hear you sing occasionally.” I just stared at him.

  I walked away with a sigh of relief until I saw Andrew making his way over to me. “Meloney, can we please talk?” I felt like I was going to cry again, “Andrew, please just leave me alone.” I walked away and into the girls’ bathroom. To make my day better, Stacey was in there.   “Oh great it’s attack of the nerds.” She and her friends laughed at me. “Oh great attack of the sluts.”I sneered back. She didn’t look too pleased. She grabbed my hair and pulled my head back, “Bitch, I warned you to stay away Andrew, you better listen this time.” I wanted to yell at her, ‘fine you can keep him for all I care!’ but that would just destroy me inside and I knew it. “Andrew is mine okay.” She punched me the stomach and I fell to the ground. Her friends joined in and started kicking me. There was a brief pause and I used it to run away from them.  

I made it to the nurses’ office, “What happened, Meloney?” I had known Mrs. Brown for years, before I could reply I collapsed. I woke up at 2:30 the time when schools over and found Andrew lumped in a seat sleeping peacefully. Mrs. Brown came over, “Hey Meloney, how are you feeling sweetie. When you came in your face was bleeding and you were clenching your stomach. Who did this to you?” She was worried about and it felt good. “My sides are sore and they hurt, so does my face. Talk to Stacey and her friends they did this to me. How long has Andrew been here?” It hurt to see him sitting there.  

“He has been sitting there since I think noon. He told me to call him out of his classes so he could be with you.” I felt tears coming down. “Meloney, why are you crying?” I heard a husky voice come from the side. I looked up and saw Andrew looking down at me. “Well, I’ll just leave you two alone.” Mrs. Brown walked out of the room and I was on the edge of bursting into tears. “Meloney, I know you don’t want to talk to me but, please listen to me.” I nodded slowly. “That day when you saw Stacey kiss me, I didn’t know she was going to. If I had I would’ve walked away over to you. I didn’t like to kiss her, I don’t even like her. I like you Meloney……..I love you.”

At those words I started crying. “Then why would you let her even come close enough to kiss you?” I asked sternly. “I was trying to get her away from me and make sure she left you alone.” “I can take care of myself.” I said defensively. I looked at him.   It hurt that he kissed someone else but, he just told me he loved me. I feel really confused. “Andrew, I gonna go home and think about this, I’m not sure if I can trust you or not.” He nodded slowly and walked out the door. I got up a few minutes later and drove home. I started thinking to myself, ‘Can I trust him? He kissed another girl. He said he loves me. I’m his mate. I love him. What do I do?’ I ate dinner and decided to sleep on it.  

I woke and I was still exhausted. I was thinking to myself, ‘Aw great. I forgot about the music competition. I was pretty sure it was tomorrow. I hadn’t rehearsed and only knew one song really well, All About Us. I ate breakfast and went to my room. Took out my guitar and started rehearsing. I knew it would be hard because I needed a guy vocalist and I was not prepared to talk to Andrew yet. So I decided to do both parts. I went to see Mr. Williams and told him about the song I was doing he seemed worried, probably because I told him the song a day before the competition. I ended up skipping school so I could rehearse, because I loved music I didn’t want to see the music department sink.  

NEXT DAY……………………..

“Alright that was the band Rose Thorns from Jerkinson High. Next we have Meloney Adams from Clayton High.” When he called me up to the stage I was nervous, I hadn’t really performed in front of anyone before. I took a deep breath and headed out towards the stage.     “Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance, I’ll spin you around won’t let you fall down……Would you let me lead...You can step on my feet….give it a tryyy...It’ll be alrighhhtt…the rooms hush, hush and now’s our moment take…..take it in, feel it all and hold it, eyes on you and eyes on me we’re doing this right….Cause lover’s dance when their feeling in love, spotlight shining its all about us…its allll about uusss and every heart in the room will melt. This is a feeling I’ve never felt but its all about us.”

I got scared because I would have to do the guy part and it didn't feel right. The part was about to come up and i was getting ready to sing when i heard a familiar voice start to sing.
