A/N

Okay so I learned like ten minutes ago that I got over 120 reads in two weeks? What.

Enjoy!

For the next month, Melissa stayed at Alfie's house. Everyday, She would just lay down on the couch and rethink all of the moments her and Joe shared. She knew that she shouldn't, because it would just make her cry even more, but she did anyways.

Alfie made sure that she had three meals everyday, so she wouldn't starve to death. Alfie truly felt sorry for Melissa. She used to be so happy, and then Joe messed it up for her. Alfie keeps making mental notes in his head to kill Joe for breaking his best friend's -pretty much sister- heart. He never got around to doing so, though. All of his free time was spent with Melissa, making sure that she was stable.

Melissa lost all motivation to do anything. The only time that she would get out of Alfie's house, was when she would go and see her therapist Dr. Pawlenty . She would see her three times a week, and she had to take antidepressents everyday. When Alfie would bring Melissa breakfast in the morning, he made sure that Melissa swallowed her antidepressants.

On this perticular day, however, Melissa decided to do something other than sit on the couch. She woke up that morning, Alfie brought her breakfast and her pills, ate with her, Alfie washed the dishes and while he did so Melissa stood up to help him. Alfie wasn't quite sure what was going on, since Melissa never voluntarily gets off the couch, he always has to force her out of it.

Alfie didn't ask questions, though. Most days however, he would ask her periodically how she was feeling. Melissa would never answer vocally, instead she would always shake her head, or nod or shrug. The days that she would shake her head, Alfie would stay with her the whole day. Even if it were a day that he was supposed to upload, he spent the day with Melissa. They would sometimes watch a movie, watch some videos on YouTube of thier friends -excluding Joe- and somedays they just spent the day on the couch, in each other's embrace. She was his top priority at the moment, until she felt better.

There was a silence while they washed the dishes together, until Melissa broke the silence, to Alfie's suprise.

"I want to film a video for my channel to make up for the times I haven't. " she whispered, almost inaudible.

Alfie was about to ask for her to repeat, but he got a good amout of what she said. He nodded, pursing his lips while scrubbing the porcelain plate in his hands. "Okay, do you want help setting up?" He asked her.

She stopped talking and nodded as a response. She didn't know how to work Alfie's camera so she would need some guidance. When they finished washing the dishes, Alfie guided Melissa to the room where he usually films his gaming channel videos.

He grabbed the camera he normally uses for his vlogging and set it on a tripod. He also set up the lighting around Melissa, putting up not to much to where she looks like a ghost yet not to little to where she looks extremely tan -as if she belongs in the Jersey Shore-.

He held up two thumbs up, asking if everything was how she wanted it. She nodded and Alfie pressed record.

Melissa moved a stray hair out of her face and she took a deep breath. She hadn't uploaded a video in about a month, so she was scared as to how her viewers would react.

She took another deep breath, and started talking to the camera in front of her. "Hey guys." She waved without a lot of enthusiasm appearance in her voice.

"So, you guys must be wondering what has happened this past month. Well, in this video I'll tell you." She mentally slapped herself after she spoke that last sentance.
