Mistake

Chapter 3

I realize that Melissa now looks emotional, so I decide to just end the stream.

 " Thank you guys for showing up, I really do appreciate it! See ya!" I say quickly.

 I leave the stream, " Melissa, is it true?"

 " Yes," she says sadly.

 " I- I'm sorry," my nose burned, I was trying to hold back tears.

 " No, it's OK. I just need to go home," she grabs her bag.

 " Will you be up for hanging out again?"

 " For sure!" She smiles.

 " Thanks for coming," I say.

 " No problem, see you!"

 " Wait! Please don't tell anyone the address," I beg.

 " I won't," she promises.

 Just like that, she leaves, and I sit on my bed in sadness.

 I have no idea how long I'd been lost in my thoughts, but it had to have been a while.

 I heard the front door open.

 I just assumed it was Daniel.

 " Christian?" I hear in silence.

 " In here!" I call out.

 " There you are! I was getting worried because it's so unlike you to leave the counter a- oh, what's wrong?" He walks in.

 I just shake my head and look out the window, it was now dark.

 " Oh my! What time is it?" I quickly get up.

 " Uh nine thirty," Daniel says confused.

 I had been sitting there for 3 hours!

 I go to the kitchen and begin cleaning the mess Melissa and I made when we streamed.

 Daniel sits on a chair at the counter, Christian come on, man. What happened?"

 " Melissa's not going to make it," I mumble as I scrub the counter.

 " Oh... I'm sorry."

 " No, no it's fine. She accepted it, I should too."

 " I hope everything turns out alright. I'm going to to take a shower."

 I nod, " That's fine, but I need to talk to you and the guys tomorrow."

 " OK, I'll let them know!"
