*MELANI'S POV*

So, it's now the night before the first day of school. Goodie. I haven't talked to Justin all day, and he knows. He hasn't tried to get me to talk to him, hell, he hasn't even talked to ME. Mom: "So how was your guys' day?" She smiles while chomping down on her ham and egg sandwich. It was quiet. Mom: "Well that's good to hear.." She sighs. Mom: "Everything alright?" Me: "I'm fine, okay!" I stomp upstairs. Gosh, what are their problems?

*JUSTIN'S POV*

Melani ignored me again, and this time I didn't try to get her to talk to me 'cause I knew she wouldn't. Mary: "So how was your guys' day?" She smiles and stuffs her face with a sandwich. No one said anything. Not even Alex. Mary: "Well that's good to hear.." She sighs loudly. Mary: "Everything alright?" Melani: "I'm fine, okay!" She trudges upstairs. Alex: "What's HER problem?" I shrug. Though I knew the answer. Everything was a problem to her. Mary: "Is everything okay with you and Melani?" I look at Alex. He shrugs. Me: "No. And I don't wanna talk about it. May I be excused?" She nods and I scoot out of my chair. I need to clear my mind. And the only thing that can help is music. I go to their music room, where they had a piano and everything. Just like Becca's summer house. I walk around the old, dusty room remembering the memories in here. This is the room where Melani's dad taught us to play piano.. Where me and Melani would bang on the drums until Mary dragged us out of the room. I chuckle sadly. So many good memories, so many years lost. What has my life come to? I turned into a jerk, met Melani which was a good thing, met my old best friend, and now I've lost my girlfriend AND bestest friend a person could have. I always blame myself for leaving Melly 7 years ago.. But is it really my fault? I sigh and sit down on the old, black wooden bench that sat in front of the dusty piano. The bench where Melani and I shared our little kid "kisses" and by kisses, I meant on the cheek. I could remember the moments perfectly.

*FLASHBACK* We were little 5 year old rascals, always getting in trouble. Though in this room, we were good little angels. Most of the time. Anyway, we were playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and I watched her fat little fingers press the keys one at a time. Me: "You're getting better, Melly." I smile. Melani: "Thank you JustyBear." She giggles and kisses my cheek.*FLASHBACK OVER*

I let out a happyish sigh and lift up the piano cover. Me: "Twinkle, twinkle little Melly. How I wonder what's in your belly." I laugh sadly at the old song I made up. "She still sings that song, you know." I wipe my newfound tears and turn around. I see Mary leaning on the doorframe. Me: "She does?" My voice cracks. She chuckles. Mary: "Everyday in the shower. Haven't you heard her?" I shook my head slowly. Mary: "Well that's the song she loves to sing. It's catchy." She smiles. I sigh. Me: "Does she know it was by me?" She shrugs. Mary: "No one knows what she knows, or doesn't know. Only Melani knows what she knows." I stare at her weirdly. Me: "Not to be disrespectful or anything.. But what the heck does that mean?" She laughs. Mary: "What I mean is, Melani is like a closed book. No one knows what's inside." I nod slowly. Me: "Why are you telling me this?" She rolls her eyes. Mary: "You wanted to know if she knew it was by you." Me: "Okay I'm confused now." [xD] Mary: "Ah, never mind.. Just go on with.. Whatever you were doing." She turns and leaves. Melani's like a closed book... Only the inside can understand her! But no one understands her... AGH whatever. I'm supposed to be sad right now. Well it's no use pretending to be sad.. I cover the piano up again and go upstairs. I stop in front of Melani's room when I hear her singing. I sit and listen by her door. "I've fallen for you.. Finally my heart gave in. And I'm fallin' in love. I finally know how it feels. So this is love..." My favorite song written by her. She stops singing and turns off her iPod speakers. I grab a notepad and sharpie off of the table in the hall and write a note for her. "Good night Melani. xoxo -Justin" I flip it over and write "PS I'm sorry... You don't need to forgive me though. Oh and your voice is still beautiful like an angel. :) I love you..." I slip the note under her door and scramble to Alex's room. I peek through the crack of the door and watch her open the door and look around for me. She reads it, crumples it up and throws it into the hallway trash can. I slouch my body and let out a sigh. I've lost my last chance.
