Mel has just moved to L.A. and started working in a tattoo shop. She found the love of her life, James Sullivan, at a bar she went to with her best friend Brandon, but just as she fell in love with Jimmy, he disappeared.
She tried really hard to forget him and succeeded when she met M. Shadows. But when all the band members appeared in the shop to see Matt's new tattoo, Mel saw Jimmy again and from that moment on she knew, everything would change. She didn't want to live without him anymore.
She broke up with Matt and eventually she and Jimmy became a couple. But after that, everything went down the drain.
