Melody walked into the living room and plopped down on the chair, sighing very loudly. Me and Grayson turned to look at her quickly from where we were trying to get a pumpkin to stick to the wall, and then turned back around, not paying her any mind.
A few seconds later she sighed loudly again, and I knew it was time for her hourly moment of attention.
"How'd your phone call go?" I asked, putting down the roll of tape in my hand and pausing Beetlejuice.
"I don't want to talk about it." She said. Yes, she does.
"Then why did you come in here mopping?"
"Because." She sighed. "It's just-"
There it is.
"I don't understand boys." She said picking at her fingers. "Like Kamden is really confusing."
"What happened?" I asked, grabbing the tape again and hanging a piece to Grayson.
"He said he wants to fly out here and talk to me in person."
Great. I rolled my eyes. "So, what's wrong with that? It's a good thing right?"
"I don't know." She said. "What if he pretends to care and then we get to the end and then he just bails again? I just don't want to get my hopes up."
"Then just tell him that you don't want him to come out here."
"I did. But he started talking about a whole bunch of legal stuff and confusing me. Then he said he was going to have his dad sue me and take both of them away from me."
"Your baby daddy's dad is a lawyer?" I asked, turning around to look at her.
"He owns his own firm." She said, shrinking down in her seat.
"Did I teach you nothing." I said, smacking my forehead with my hand. "We don't date the snobby rich kids."
"But he's hot."
"That's even worse. Oh lord." I said, trying to focus on decorating. "I bet he even drives a yeeyee truck too."
She didn't answer me which was an answer in itself.
"Bless your heart Mel."
"What's a yeeyee truck?" Grayson asked, looking really confused by everything that was happening.
"Something that all the good ole boys drives, and can't park. Purchased in full by daddy's money."
"I have a type okay." Melody yelled, covering her face and laughing.
"I mean, at least you can probably get hella child support."

"I'm know that I'm not about to walk into this living room, and there be Halloween decorations up, in August." Emma said, walking into my apartment.
"I've really got to take your spare key away." I muttered under my breath. Since I was cuddled into Grayson chest, he heard me and laughed.
"It's August." Emma said, disappointingly.
"Tomorrow's September." Me and Grayson said at the same time.
"I've been trying to talk them into taking some of them down for an hour now. Don't waste your breath." Melody said, starring at her phone.
"Whatever." Emma said, plopping down on the floor and watching the movie with us.
Not even thirty minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"Mel can you get that?" I asked, not wanting to move because I was comfortable.
"I would, but I'm pregnant, so I can't." She said. I sighed and stood up.
"Ooo I can't wait to use everything that she's saying to me against her one day. Just you wait Mel, just you wait." I said muttering to myself, walking towards the door.
"Is he here?" Ethan asked, bursting into the door, barely giving me time to open it.
"Hello to you to Ethan."
"Did you kidnap my brother?"
"I didn't kidnap anyone. He just showed up here." I said closing the door behind him.
"Grayson, you seriously need to stop putting Halloween decorations up everywhere." Ethan sighed, sitting on the floor by Emma.
"Is there a reason all of you are, like, here?" I asked.
"I live here." Melody said.
"I had to come try to convince you not to predecorate for Halloween." Emma said.
"I came to find Grayson." Ethan said.
"And you're still here because-?"
"I live here."
"I like this movie."
"Grayson's here."
"Whatever." I said, sitting back down on the couch, trying to focus on the movie.
We had almost made it to the end of Beetlejuice when there was another knock on the door.
"Mads, someone's here." Melody said monotone.
"Thank you capital obvious."I said getting back up off the couch and walking towards the door.
I opened the door and was met with the face of someone I've never met before, but kind of looked familiar. I stated to put two and two together and figured this kid was Kamden, which started to piss me off.
"Why do all these damn teenagers keep showing up at my doorstep?"
"Umm. Is Melody here?" He asked.
"Depends on who's asking." I said, crossing my arms across my chest.
"My names Kamden." He said, sticking his hand for me to shake.
"Figured." I said, keeping my arms crossed. "She doesn't want to see you."
"She doesn't want to see me or you don't want her to see me?" He asked, crossing his arms across his chest.
"Look, I don't know if you flew out here yourself or if your mom or whoever came with you." I said, talking quietly so no one else could hear. "But I don't think it's a good idea for you to be here."
"Madison, is that the postmates that I ordered?" Melody yelled.
"No." I answered back.
"Then who is-?" She asked, turning around the corner. "Kam?"
"He was just about to leave." I said, trying to close the door on him.
"Please just let me talk to her." Kamden said from the hallway.
"Don't you think you already had the chance to talk to her?"
"Please. Give me ten minutes." I sighed and opened the door.
