Second Chance //
Chapter 39
Today was the day of the big game. I was still currently at home, quickly trying to finish my breakfast.
"Melissa, can we go to the park today?" Rose asked.
"I'm sorry Rose. I can't. I have a jam-packed schedule." I told her. I felt guilty letting her down.
"It's okay..." Rose trailed off, looking down at her breakfast.
"Katy, can you take me to the park?" Rose asked.
"Sorry Rose, I can't. I have cheerleading. Today is the big game." Katy answered.
"Let's go Rose, Mrs. Knight is going to give you a ride. Katy, Brandon is going to pick me up. You wanna come?" I asked Katy.
"Nah, it's okay. I rather walk to school." Katy said.
I said goodbye to Katy and then I took Rose's hand and ran out of the door to Mrs. Knight's car.
"Hi Mrs. Knight!" I said.
"Hello Melissa! Lily has a doctor's appointment today after school, so I won't be able to pick Rose up." Mrs. Knight informed me.
"That's alright, I'll just pick her up." I said.
* * * * * *
For the whole day, the whole school was talking about the game. Everyone was excited to watch the championship game. A lot of people crowded around the football players wishing them good luck today, especially Brett. But mostly girls were crowding around him. But hey, I'm not jealous!
It was currently last period, but no one was listening to the teacher. Brett and I were the only ones taking notes. How does he still want to take notes?! A lot of the pressure is on him!
"I know that you all are excited for today's big game. I'm sure that Brett will lead us to victory. But that doesn't mean that you should be distracted for learning! Now be quiet and pay attention!" Mr. Murray yelled.
Eventually, the bell rang. The second that the bell rang everyone ran out of class. I met up with the girls.
"Ugh, the bad thing about having a football player for a boyfriend is that everyone always tries to get his attention, so I can never find him in the crowd." Emma whined.
"Ditto." all of the girls said in unison, but me.
"Come on, let's go to the bleachers and find the good seats before someone else takes it!" Layla said.
We ran to the large field, only to find almost the whole student body there.
I noticed the cheerleaders practicing their routine before the game started. I waved at Katy. Katy smiled and waved back.
"Let's go to the locker room to wish our boyfriends good luck!" Stella suggested.
"Are we even allowed in there?" I asked.
"We're their girlfriends. We're like royalty." Bonnie reminded. I laughed at that comment.
We walked to their locker room, seeing that Brett was giving a speech to the football players. After that, the players were stacked their hands up. "1, 2, 3, COBRAS!" the boys yelled.
We clapped for them after that.
"Hey, our cheerleaders are here!" Ryan said.
The girls wished their boyfriends good luck and gave them kisses.
"So, you nervous?" I asked Brett.
"Yeah, a little." he admitted.
"Well, good luck." I told him.
"Thanks. I heard it was raining today. I hope it doesn't rain during the game. But who knows."
"If it rains, isn't the game going to be canceled?" I asked.
"Nope, we play either way." Brett said
"Okay, try to not kill yourself out there." I told him.
He chuckled. "Alright guys, it's time to get out there and show those North High losers how it's done!" Brett yelled.
"YEAH!" everyone shouted.
After that, the girls and I went back to the field, trying to find seats on the bleachers. But the only seat now are the top row of the bleachers. We shrugged and walked to the top row of the bleachers and took a seat.
I looked for Brett on the field, and I noticed Brett was waving at someone. It looked like he was waving at me, but I wasn't sure. He's still waving though.
"Oh my god, Brett's waving at me!" one of the girls in the middle row squealed.
"No, he's waving at me!" one of her friends argued. Her friends was then arguing who he was waving at.
"Melissa, he's waving at you! Wave back!" Lauren told me.
"Oh!" I smiled and waved back at Brett.
He smiled and then joined the others along the center line. I couldn't really hear what Brett was saying since we were far at the back, but the game started after he yelled something.
"GO BRETT!" I screamed. The girls laughed after that.
"What? I can get into the game." I joked. The girls laughed again after that.
Suddenly, I felt like something was wrong....

Second Chance //
Chapter 41
Melissa's P.O.V.
It was still pouring rain while I ran to Rose's school. My whole body was already wet. I finally got to Rose's school, seeing Rose on top of the school steps, shivering.
"Rose, I'm so sorry that I forgot to pick you up! You must be cold! Come here!" I told her trying to wrap her with my arms.
Rose pushed me away.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not suppose to to talk to strangers." Rose said. I looked into her eyes, and I could tell that she had been crying. Seeing her cry just breaks my heart.
"Rose, what do you mean? I'm your sister." I reminded her.
"No you're not. I know my sister and I know that she would never ditch me because she would rather hang out with her friends or forget me and leave me in the rain." Rose's voice was cracking.
I could feel my heart breaking. I let Rose down.
"Rose, look at me." I told her. Rose wouldn't look at me. It took a lot of power for me to not cry right in front of her.
"Rose, please look at me." I repeated.
Rose finally looked at me.
"Rose, I would never do that to you. You are the most important person in the world. Nothing will ever change that." I assured her. I kissed her forehead.
"Then why did you forget me?" Rose questioned.
"It was an accident. After I realized that I forgot you, I ran here as fast as I could."
"But you never spend time with me anymore! You're always hanging out with your friends! I'm starting to think you like them better than me!"
"My friends are very important to me. But you are my precious gem." I told her.
"I want.... I want mommy!" Rose shouted.
I froze. "Suzan is at work." I informed.
"No, I want mommy!"
It's time to tell her the truth. "Rose, it's time that I have to tell you the truth. The truth is, that mommy isn't coming back. She's dead." I admitted.
"Melissa, I already know!" Rose shouted at me. My eyes widen.
"What? But-"
"I just said that so you wouldn't talk about mommy as much! But I miss her so much! Why does this have to happen to us!" Rose yelled, continuing to let her tears roll down her face.
I felt tears well up on my eyes. "Rose, I miss her as much as much as you do. But we can't do anything about it."
"It's not fair!"
"I know it's not. Mom is a good woman. But life is unfair. But we still have each other. And we'll always to together. And we have a new family now. Suzan loves us. Dad loves us. And we have a new sister, Katy. I'm pretty sure she loves you too. You are surrounded by people that loves you. And mommy is sending us love from heaven." I told her. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. Great, now I'm crying in front of Rose.
Rose wiped her tears. "I want to go home."
"Okay, let's go."
I lifted Rose up. I turned arounded only to see something, more like someone, I never expected to be here right now.
"Need a ride?" Brett asked.
"Brett? What are you doing here?! You should be at the game right now!"
"I know, but I rather be with you." he admitted. Him saying that gave me butterflies. He left the game just to make sure I was okay?
I smiled as I put Rose in the back seat and then went into the passenger seat.
"It seems like I'm always crying in this car." I said.
"It seems like I'm always rescuing from the rain." Brett joked.
I gave him a small laugh. "Thanks for being here, Brett."
Brett stopped in front of our house. He walked us to our house.
"Are you going to come back to watch the game?" Brett asked me.
"No, I think I'm going to stay home with Rose." I told him.
"Do you want me to stay here?" he asked.
I shook my head. "I can take care of myself. Now go win that trophy."
He nodded and then ran to his car.
I went back inside my house with Rose. Rose and I both changed to long sleeve shirts and sweatpants. After that, we both sat at the couch in our living room, cuddling each other while watching some Disney Channel movie.
"Melissa, can I ask you something?"
"What is it sweetie?" I said as I stroked her hair.
"Do you love Brett?" the question caught me off guard. I did not expect her to ask me that.
There was a long silence before I said "I...I think I do."
again, this story is almost over. D: please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Second Chance //
Chapter 33
After school, I picked up Rose with the girls.
"Hey Melissa, do you think that dad and Suzan are going to get married?" Rose asked.
"Uh...I'm not sure.." I told her.
"Suzan's nice. I wouldn't mind if they got married. But only until mom comes back." Rose added.
I bit my lip as the girls looked up at me alarmed. Rose is so lucky. She doesn't have anything to worry or care about.
After a few minutes, we got to my dad's house. "Dad! I'm home!" I screamed as we entered the house.
"Hi Melissa. I see that you brought some friends." my dad said.
"Yup, we're Melissa's friends. Is their a problem with us being here?" Layla asked.
"No, no. There's no problem. You girls can feel welcome. However, Suzan is over." my dad informed.
"Oh, who's Suzan?" Emma asked.
"Suzan is a very good friend." my dad answered.
We all went to the kitchen, seeing Suzan there getting out some kitchen supplies and ingredients.
"Hello, are you Suzan?" Lauren asked.
"Yes, I'm Suzan. Are you all Melissa's friends?" Suzan asked.
The girls nodded their heads.
"So, are you and Mr. Jones close enough to.... have a kid together?" Stella asked out of the blue. My eyes shot open, looking at Suzan for her reaction. Suzan almost dropped her pot.
"Why would you ask a silly question like that?" Suzan asked. Suzan did a fake laugh after that.
"No reason... just wondering. Because I could see some chemistry between you two." Stella said. I gave her a look, signaling for her to stop.
"Suzan, sorry for Stella's behavior. Somtimes Stella is a little... crazy." Bonnie said.
After that, we ate dinner with food that Suzan cooked. Suzan is actually a really good cook. We all even finished our plates.
"Okay.. how about you girls go up Melissa's room? And Melissa can give you girls some drinks." Suzan suggested.
I nodded in agreement. "What do you girls want?" I asked.
"I want lemonade with a lemon slice and an umbrella on the cup." Stella ordered.
"Okay, coke it is." I said.
The girls laughed.
We all got our drinks and then we headed upstairs to my room.
"Stella, I think you were pushing it a little." Lauren blurted.
"Hey, I can't help it. I watch a lot of goosip girl."
"I think it's time for me to talk to my dad and Suzan. I'm going to go downstairs." I said.
I left my room, and walked downstairs, only to see dad and Suzan already talking in the kitchen. I decided to not go in the kitchen, and instead eavesdrop on their conversation.
"I don't know if this can work. What about Melissa and Rose? They are my priority." my dad said.
"Why can't we all be just one happy family? Do you seriously want to waste 6 years of our lives for nothing?" Suzan argued.
My dad remained silent.
That's when I decided to join their conversation. "Why does it matter? You won't tell me or anybody else what's going on anyways." I spat as I walked into the kitchen.
"Melissa, did you eavesdrop on us?" my dad asked.
"That doesn't matter. Dad, you been lying to me. I want you to tell me right now what is really going on. I even know about the adoptation."
"Melissa, it's very complicated."
"No, I don't care how complicated it is. You left me when I was just a little kid, I think I know what complicated is." I protested.
My dad sighed. "You remember when I cheated on your mother and she got mad?"
I nodded.
"The woman she found me cheating with was.. Suzan. But that was when I was drunk. And eventually, Suzan became pregnant, with my baby." my dad admitted.
"But I was too young at the time to have a baby. So we gave our baby to an orphanage. But your dad and I reunited a little later after your father divorced your mother. We started talking about what would have happened if we kept the baby." Suzan explained.
"And I felt lonely without you and Rose, since your mother didn't allow me to see you or Rose." my dad added.
"So we decided to hire a detective to find our daughter." Suzan continued.
"It took years for the detective to find our daughter. But after the detective finally found our daughter, Suzan gave her a visit, asking her if she wanted to live with us. And she said yes." my dad said.
"So she's gonna live with us?" I asked.
"That's up to you. What do you want?" Suzan asked.

Second Chance //
Chapter 35
"What are you doing here?" I questioned.
"Wait, is Melissa- my step sister?" Katy asked, looking like she's afraid of hearing the answer.
"Katy, Melissa and Rose are your step sisters." my dad replied.
"What?! I have to live with MELISSA?!" Katy screamed.
I was so shocked of what's going on right now, that I didn't say anything.
"Okay, it's obvious that you and Melissa know each other. But can you two try to get along? I know it's weird right now, but things will get better. I promise." Suzan said.
Katy was silent. She's probably just as shocked as I am.
"Hey, how about we all get to know each other more?" my dad suggested.
Katy and I were both silent. "I'll go first!" Rose volunteered.
Rose started talking really fast saying as much as she can about herself.
"Okay, who wants to go next?" Suzan asked.
"There is no way that I'm going to be living here, especially with Melissa!" Katy shouted.
"Katy, please-" I tried.
"Shut it goodie goodie. I am NOT your sister. And I never will be! What will all of the kids at school think?!" Katy screamed at me. She turned and stormed up the stairs and I heard a slam after that.
"Melissa, I know that Katy-"
I took Rose's hand and ran to the door.
"Where are you going?!" my dad screamed, running after me.
"I'm taking Rose to Lily's house. Then I'm going to go to Bonnie's house!" I told him, not stopping.
I didn't even care that it was raining outside. I just had to get out of the house.
I went straight to the Knight's house, and knocked on the door.
"What are you girls doing?! You girls could've catched a cold!" Mrs. Knight mentioned.
"Can I leave Rose here for a few hours?" I asked.
"Of course!" Mrs. Knight took Rose inside their house.
"Thank you"
"Do you want me to call Brett down?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"No, it's okay. I better get going now." I told her.
I turned away from the house, and returning to the rain. I passed by my new home, hearing my dad and Suzan arguing. No, this was happening again! My mother, and dad, constantly fighting. It's happening again! It's like the world never wants me to be happy. Tears were streaming down my face.
I needed to go to a place where no one else is at. The park. No one is at the park when it's raining.
I walked to the park and sat down at the bench, continuing to let out all of my tears.
There's only 3 people that I feel true love for. Rose, my mother, and Brett. I will do ANYTHING to protect Rose. She's like daughter. My mother always loved and cared for me. She's my hero. Brett, he's handsome, smart, funny, and he understands me.
"Mom, I wish you were here." I whispered.
"Where were you? Why are you late?" my mom spat.
My dad hit the table with his fist, making me jump. "I'm late, get over it."
"You have been late for a month now! You were suppose to be home everyday at 6, but you always come back late! I HAD ENOUGH!" my mom screamed.
"Don't talk that way to me!" my dad yelled back, becoming angry.
"Melissa, go to your room." my mom ordered.
"Did I do something?" I asked, confused.
"No. Just go to your room Melissa." my dad directed. I walked up the stairs, pretending to go to my room. But instead, I sat at the stairs out of sight, listening to my parent's conversation.
"I had just about enough your cr/p Derek! Do you care about Melissa or the baby at all?! Or do you only care about your "job"?" my mom asked, air quoting the word job.
"Why are you air quoting when you said job?" my dad questioned.
"I'm not stupid Derek! I know what's going on!"
"That's it. I don't want to be treated like this. I'm out of here!" my dad yelled, getting his suitcase, and then bursting out the door.
"Fine! You think I care?! Have your stupid wedding ring back!" My mom screamed, throwing the wedding ring at him.
"Mommy, where is daddy going?" I asked her.
"For now on, it's going to be just you, Rose, and I. Daddy isn't coming back." my mother said, with tears on her eyes.
I sat at the bench for a few minutes until a few minutes turned to an hour and a half. I was just sitting there, thinking of my past, while crying.
"Hey." I heard.

Chapter 36
I jumped in surprise. I turned around, seeing Brett in a jacket and holding a umbrella.
I quickly wiped my tears when Brett sat next to me, with his umbrella on top of us.
"Melissa, don't even try. I can tell you're crying. It's okay, let it out." Brett told me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Everyone was worried about you. So we all decided to look for you. All 16 of us."
"16?!"
"Yup. Me, Lily, Rose, your parents, Katy, Bonnie, Stella, Layla, Emma, Lauren, Seth, Brandon, Nick, Ryan, and Timmy."
"My god, I didn't mean to worry everybody." I murmured, now feeling guilty.
"Don't worry, I already texted everyone saying that I found you."
"I'm sorry for having to waste your time." I said.
"Why do you keep on apologizing to me? Seriously, I don't mind having to do these things. And here, wear my jacket. You must be cold." Brett told me. Brett took off his jacket, putting it over my shoulders.
"Aren't you going to get cold?" I asked.
"I think you need my jacket more."
I gave him a small smile. "Thanks." I said as I put on his jacket. I couldn't help but notice how good his jacket smells.
"Rose told me about the whole Katy thing. "What are you going to do?" Brett asked.
"I don't know. I think I have to talk to Katy. We can't keep on being at war." I admitted.
"Okay, we better get to my car before we both get sick." Brett reminded. Brett and I got to his car and he drove me back home.
I gave him a goodbye before I entered my house, seeing my parents and Rose's attention on me.
"Melissa!" Rose screamed. She ran to me, giving me a hug.
"Melissa, where were you? We were worried sick! And why didn't you bring an umbrella or a jacket?!" my dad said.
"I was about to call 911!" Suzan added.
"Guys, don't worry. I'm okay. I'm going to be upstairs." I told them. I went upstairs and took a shower, and then changed to some dry clothes. After that, I knocked on Katy's door.
"Who is it?" Katy spat.
"It's Melissa."
"What do you want!?"
"Katy, I want to talk to you. Can I come in?" I asked.
I heard Katy groan. "Fine. It better be good."
I opened the door, seeing that Katy almost finished unpacking.
"Why do you want to talk?" Katy snapped.
"Look, why do you hate me so much?" I asker her.
"You're really asking me WHY I hate you?!" Katy said, her fists clenching.
"Please Katy, I don't want to fight. Just tell me why. I don't want us to continue being enemies. Please." I begged.
Katy sighed. "Your life is perfect."
"What?"
"YOU'RE PERFECT! YOU'RE GORGEOUS. YOU HAVE THE PERFECT LIFE! YOU HAVE IT EASY!" Katy shouted.
"What? My life is far from perfect! My mom died, my dad has an affair with another woman. How is that perfect?!" I argued.
"You have real friends! I was always jealous of Stella, Layla, the others, and you! Because you all have a real friendship!" Katy's eyes began to water.
"You think your life sucks? At least you HAD a mother in your life! I never seen my real birth parents until this week! I had to live with with foster parents that Taylor hooked me up with!" Katy continued, now having tears running down her cheeks.
"Oh my gosh... I didn't know. I'm so sorry." I said.
"There, you get to see me break down and cry! Congratulations! ARE YOU HAPPY?!" Katy yelled.
"Katy, no! That was never my life goal! Don't you understand? I have been trying to patch things with you! But you hated me!"
"Melissa, I never hated you. I was just jealous of you." Katy whispered.
There was a moment of silence. I then sat down next to Katy.
"Katy, there's no reason to be jealous of me. You're gorgeous. But Katy, like I said, I want to patch things up with you. I want us to be sisters. No more of this war. Please?" I said, putting my hand out.
Katy shook my hand. "Sure, sister." we both did a small laugh after that.
i liked this chapter :D please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Second Chance //
Chapter 37
It been 2 weeks since Katy moved in. When we're at home, she's usually quiet. We don't talk much when we're at school either. Somtimes we would glance at each other though. The whole school knows that we're living together now, and I just know that people are talking about us behind our backs. It made me upset that they just keep on talking and talking but they don't know the real story. They practically think that our family is a mistake!
The bell rang, which means that last period is over. I met the girls at our lockers.
"Let's do something fun after school." Bonnie suggested.
"We can't. Remember, finals are coming up." I informed,
"But all we have been doing is studying!" Stella complained.
"I know, but I really want to pass the finals. And woah, I just realized that I haven't slept in my house once this whole week!" I recalled. All of us have been doing serious studying in Stella's place, so we always end up asleep at Stella's house.
'Yeah, Melissa's right. We should study." Lauren admitted.
Bonnie, Layla, and Emma agreed.
"But I'm tired of studying!" Stella whined.
"How about we study today at my house, and then take a break from studying tomorrow, since it's Friday." I suggested.
"We can't! Tomorrow is our boyfriends' championship game!" Emma reminded.
"The game is very important to them. We can't miss it!" Layla added.
"It's okay, you girls can go ahead and have fun tomorrow at the game. Sports isn't really my thing." I told them.
"But isn't Brett your thing?" Stella said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Stella!" I screamed.
"Hey, but you totally have to come tomorrow! When they win their big game tomorrow, the quarterback of the team always kisses his girl! And we all know that Brett is single. You getting my drift?" Stella said.
"Since I'm not Brett's girl, I think it's safe to say that it won't happen." I commented with a laugh.
"What about Brett's girl I hear?" A familiar voice said behind me.
I froze. I turned around to see the source of that voice. Brett, along with all of the other boys. I started to blush.
"Oh, we were just talking about how the quarterback kisses his girl when they win their big championship game." Layla answered. Good save, Layla!
"Oh yeah, we definitely will win the game." Seth bragged.
"And I can't wait to beat those North High losers." Brandon added.
For two minutes everyone was talking about the championship game, except for me and Brett. Brett doesn't really seem the kind to brag or talk about football.
"You need a ride home?" Brett asked.
I nodded. We left the crew and got in Brett's car.
"So how is living with Katy?" Brett asked.
"Alright. But I'm considered lucky if I got a sentence from her." I replied.
"You think she'll change?"
"I think she already changed. She seem... different now. In a good way." I added.
"She kinda reminds me of you." Brett admitted.
"Yeah, but I don't think she'll ever give up her hair iron." we both laughed after that.
Brett dropped me off home. When I got to the house, Rose immediately ran to me and gave me a hug.
"Melissa! I missed you! I haven't seen you in days!" Rose reminded.
I smiled. "Yeah, I know. I missed you too."
"Can we play now?" Rose asked.
"Rose, I can't. I have to study for the finals, or I won't get to go to college. I can drop you off at Lily's house." I told her.
Rose looked down, looking sad.
"What's wrong? Don't you like spending time with Lily?" I asked.
"Yeah.. but I like spending time with you too..." Rose said in a soft voice, trailing off.
"What was that?"
"Nothing." Rose sighed after that. She looked kind of upset. I wonder why.
yeah, sorry. not a very exciting or intresting chapter. please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Second Chance //
Chapter 38
I dropped Rose at Lily's house. After that, the girls arrived at my house. We have been studying at my room for an hour. Suddenly, the door opened, revealing Katy.
"Melissa, Suzan says that dinner is-" Katy stopped talking when she saw that I wasn't alone. She gasped and froze, like she was afraid of us or something.
"Tell Suzan that we'll be down in a few minutes. You want to study with us Katy?" I offered.
"Um.... no, that's okay." Katy said before leaving my door.
"Is she afraid of us or something?" Emma asked.
"Well, she thinks that you all hate her. You know, she really did change. Why don't you girls just call it a truce?" I suggested.
"Urr... I don't know about that. She called me nerd for years!" Lauren commented.
"And she made fun of my hair!" Emma mentioned, pointing at her hair. Her hair was black, with some blue at the end of her hair.
"At least she didn't tell everybody that I had plastic surgery! And I never have any kind of surgery in my life before!" Stella added.
"She told people I was easy and had s/x with every guy at school. And I'm still a virgin!" Bonnie commented.
"Okay, we know all that Katy was a b/tch at the past. But if Melissa says that Katy changed, then we should call it a truce." Layla said.
The girls groaned. "Fine, we'll try."
We went downstairs and ate dinner. Katy ate in silence while the girls and I were talking and having fun. There were a few moments where the girls complimented Katy and Katy thanked them quietly. We went back upstairs to study.
"Oh girls, I have to pick up Rose. It's getting late." I informed them.
I opened up my window and knocked on Brett's window.
"Melissa, the door is that way." Bonnie pointed to the door.
I laughed. "Yeah, I know."
A few seconds later Brett opened his window.
"Brett, I need to pick up Rose." I told him.
He nodded and got out the large piece of wood and placed it in between our windows. I walked across the piece of wood and into Brett's room.
"What are you doing?!" Emma shouted.
"Is this how you always get to Brett's house?!" Lauren questioned.
"You don't even know if the piece of wood is reliable!" Layla mentioned.
"Don't worry you guys. It's perfectly safe." I assured them.
"Okay, whatever you say. We're just gonna stay here." Stella said.
I laughed. I left Brett's room and went to Lily's room.
"Hi Melissa!" Lily said.
"Hi sweetie. Rose, it's time for you to go home. We're going to take the window." I told Rose.
"Okay. Bye Lily!" Rose said before we went back to Brett's room. Rose walked on the piece of wood to my room. Suddenly, she shut the window!
"Let's give them a moment of privacy." I heard her say. The girls laughed after that.
"That sneaky little Rose." I hissed.
Brett laughed. "You know, you can always use the door."
I smiled. "Aha, yeah." Brett walked me down, and then to my front door.
"Good luck tomorrow. Talk to me win when you win the game." I told him.
"Or lose." he said.
"Psh, I'm sure that you guys are gonna win." I assured.
"I don't think you've ever come and watch us play before." Brett mentioned.
"That's true."
"Why not? Does Melissa Jones not believe in school spirit?" Brett joked.
"Hey, I was a cheerleader before."
"Come to the game. I promise it's worth it." Brett said.
I hesitated. "I don't know.."
"I'll buy you ice cream."
"Ice cream? He.ll yes I'm coming!" I said, making both of us laugh.
"Okay then, see you tomorrow then. The game starts tomorrow after school." Brett informed.
"Okay, can't wait." I told him.
Brett and I said goodbye to each other before Brett walked back to his house.
When I opened the door to my house, I noticed my friends, Rose, and even Katy near the door, eavesdropping on our conversation.
"You guys were listening to our conversation!?" I screamed.
They all just responded by laughing.
"Melissa, stop being such a flirt." Katy joked.
My face turned red. "I-I was not flirting!" I screamed.
"Yes you were." Rose added.

Second Chance //
Chapter 27
"What is love? Something that lasts for a few weeks until you get tired of it and then you find something new to love?" I blurted.
"Love isn't food." Brett responded.
"Huh?"
"When you eat too much of the same kind of food, you get tired of it and move on to a different kind of food. Love isn't like food."
"That isn't how it is for my life. Long story short, my dad suddenly started going home everyday drunk, and then cheats on my mom. Dad suddenly leaves us until mom is gone forever." I said, wanting to cry again, but held onto my tears.
"Your dad was probably feeling overwelmed. Everything happens for a reason. He's here for you and Rose now. He made a mistake, that doesn't mean that he doesn't regret it. Right now, he probably just wants things to be normal again with you and Rose."
"I want things to be normal too, but I don't know. My dad was such a good man. And I thought that he and my mom was the perfect for each other."
There was a long silence. "Love is a good feeling." Brett finally said.
"I love Rose. Rose will be the closest thing I will ever get to love. Rose, and the girls." I said, referring to my friends.
"Yeah, but can you kiss them?" Brett asked.
"Of course I can kiss Rose."
"What I have with them, is the family kind of love." Brett said.
"How was your first love?" I asked Brett.
"I went on a couple of dates, but I never felt any sparks with any of the girls I went out with. So I don't think I ever had a first love." Brett replied.
"Did you kiss any of them?" I asked, pretending that I didn't care. But I did.
"Well, they would usually kiss me first. So how about you?" Brett asked.
"I never went on a date before, or kissed anybody." I looked down, feeling embarrassed.
"Seriously Melissa? I never met any girl like you before." Brett chuckled.
* * * * * *
It was 8 AM on Sunday. Meaning that we have to go back home before school starts tomorrow. Brett and Lily was already at Brett's car, ready to go home.
"I'm going to miss you girls. But at least I'll see you girls soon." my dad said as he gave Rose and I a hug.
"Bye dad!" Rose and I said before going back to Brett's car.
"Wait, Melissa!" my dad called.
"Yeah dad?"
"Are you mad at me?" my dad asked.
"No, I'm not mad at you dad. I was just a little surprised yesterday." I assured him.
"Okay, good to know. See you soon Melissa!" my dad said before I got in Brett's car. Brett drove back to the highway.
* * * * * *
We're finally back at home. I'm at my room, reading a book. I texted the girls that we were back, and they texted me loads of questions about Brett. Brett has been so nice and sweet. This trip made me realize how much I really like Brett. But I know he'll never like me. I mean, why would he like me? I'm so insecure. And like he said, I'm not like the other girls. In other words, he probably thinks I'm a freak.
I glanced at my alarm clock. It was almost midnight. I am getting kind of tired... I think I'll sleep now. I was just about to turn off the lights until Rose appeared at my room.
"What are you doing up sweetie? You should be asleep by now." I told her.
"I had a nightmare. Can I sleep with you?" Rose asked.
"Of course." Rose slipped onto the other side of my bed. I then turned off my lights, laying down on my bed next to Rose, wrapping her in my arms.
"Rose." I started."Yeah?"
"I want to let you know that no matter that, we'll always be together forever, and nothing will break us apart." I promised.
"Okay..." Rose mumbled before drifting off to sleep.
What happened to my parents will not happen to Rose and I. At the end of the day, it only comes down to us. I am more than Rose's sister, I'm like her mother. And mothers don't abandon their children.

Chapter 28
"So, how was Thanksgiving break?" Lauren asked. The girls and I were by our lockers.
"It was.... interesting." I replied.
"Interesting? What happened?" Bonnie asked.
"Oh, I bet Brett gave you a kiss!" Stella squealed.
"No, he did not give me a kiss." I assured her.
"Something must have happened. Come on, it was a 5 day vacation!" Emma remined.
"Can we stop talking about this?" I asked.
As we were walking, my foot got caught on something and I fell to the floor, along with my books.
"Oops, I didn't see you there." Taylor said sarcastically.
"It must have been the rays of your ego." Layla retorted.
"Do you have anything better to do then being jealous of Melissa?" said Emma.
The girls helped me pick up my books.
"Where is Katy? Did you both get in a fight? Talk to aunty Stella." Stella said sarcastically.
"Oh, shut up. Katy is over there." Taylor pointed behind us. Katy was flirting with Brett. Brett was clearly annoyed.
I laughed as Brett tried to brush Katy off.
"Katy makes herseld s." Lauren said, still laughing.
"Let's just go girls." I suggested.
We walked away, towards to where the boys were.
The girls greeted their boyfriends, meanwhile I said my hellos to the guys as well.
"Have you girls seen Brett?" Ryan asked.
"Yes, and poor Brett. Katy is torturing him." Layla sighed. We all laughed at that reply.
Brett started walking to our group. "Oh my god, why can't Katy just leave me alone? I try to tell her in the nicest way possible that I'm not interested in her, but she just doesn't seem to get the message." Brett complained.
'How many times had she asked you out? Like 1o times?" Brandon teased.
"I think more like 13 or 14 times." Timmy answered.
"I feel bad for you." Stella said, patting Brett on the shoulder.
"Thanks, pity is exactly what I need." Brett said sarcastically.
We began walking through the hallways.
"Did you patch things up with your dad yet?" Brett whispered to me.
"Yeah." I whispered back.
"Um, sorry to interupt your conversation, but we have to get to class now." Stella said, pulling me.
Later that day, I went to my last period class, science. We were taking a test and it took me a little longer than usual, so I finished the test a little bit after class. When I walked out of class, I didn't see the girls. They probably thought I left. I guess I'll just have to walk. When I was about to leave the school, the boy's locker room door opened. I searched for Brett through a crowd of football players and cheerleaders.
"Brett!" I called out.
Brett looked around trying to find the source of my voice. Brett waved and smiled at me.
"Hey." he said.
"Brett, would you like to do a good deed for your local neighbor?" I said, putting my hands on my hips.
Brett raised and eyebrow. "And what would that be?"
"Can you give me a ride home?" I asked.
Brett chuckled. "Sure. Let's go."
Brett and I walked to Brett's car. I felt people staring at us. Brett started driving away from the school.
"Oh Melissa."
"What?" I said, confused.
"You do realize that the cheerleaders probably want to murder you right now, right?" Brett said.
"What did I do?"
"They're jealous of you."
"Why?" I asked, confused.
"The whole football team and cheerleadering team pretty much knows that we're neighbors now. And obviously girls would envy you since you're getting a ride home from the awesome Brett Knight." Brett said, as if it was really obvious.
"What is there to be jealous of?" I asked.
Brett chuckled. "You are so clueless when it comes to these type of things."
I smacked him on the arm. "Hey."
We both started laughing as Brett pulled up to his driveway.
"What, no escort?" I said sarcastically.
"I would be glad to escort the lovely Melissa." Brett walked over to my door and opened it. He then took my hand.
I couldn't help it but laugh. Brett made my day.
"Oh wait, I forgot the big finish." Brett added.
"What big-" Brett cut me off when he lifted me bridal style.
I was laughing the whole way back to my door. But the door was already opened, and there stood my dad.
a lot of you guys been asking me to keep posting another chapter twice a day. but i cant always post chapters twice a day because then the story would end sonner, so yeah. :/ Comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. 50+ faves for the next chapter? (:

Chapter 29
""Melissa.... and boy that's seems to always be with her." my dad said.
"And this is my time to leave." Brett said, putting me back down and walking back to his house.
"Dad, I can't believe you're here! Rose is going to be so-"
"Daddy!" Rose screamed as she ran to dad and gave him a big hug.
I smiled and looked behind dad, seeing grandma and grandpa and that... that woman.
"I was just about to leave. I'll be back later for you to sign the... real estate papers." Suzan said, lifting the papers.
"Aren't you suppose to sign the papers before moving?" I asked.
"Well, I decided to sign the papers after moving." my dad replied.
"But I'm pretty sure you have to sign the contract first before moving in." I commented.
"Sweetie, I'm a real estate agent. I think I know what I'm doing." Suzan said.
"But something doesn't seem-"
"Melissa, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, right?" my dad said.
"Yeah, I guess." I said before finally giving my dad a hug.
"I better go now." Suzan slipped the papers in her bag. She got in he car and drove away.
"Let's go to my house." my dad said.
Rose and I have been talking to dad in his new house for almost an hour.
"I left my cell phone at my office. Can you get it Melissa?" my dad asked.
"Sure." I walked to his office room and found his cell phone on his table. The phone was suddenly ringing. The call was from Suzan. I don't know why, but I answered the phone.
"Hello Suzan." I said in a deep voice, trying to do my best dad/man voice.
"Dereck, great news! They found her!" Suzan said, sounding happy. What the h/ll is she talking about?
"Oh really?" I said.
"Yes, the detective said that she's okay, and we'll get her back tomorrow. Isn't that great?"
"Oh yeah, that's great!" I said, improvising.
"I know! After years of searching for her, we finally found her!" Why are they finding someone... more like- who did they find?
I looked down at the scattered papers on my dad's desk. On the scattered papers, I noticed the contract for the house. I thought Suzan had the contract?
I looked at the contact, seeing that my dad had already signed it! And why is it signed Carrie Newman under the real estate agent? Isn't Suzan's name suppose to be there?
My dad lied to me.
"Hello Paul? You there?"
"Uh yeah! Why don't you come over for dinner and bring the paper I'm supposed to sign." I said in a deep voice.
"I don't know, Melissa doesn't seem to like me very much."
"Of course she likes you! She loves you!" I lied.
"Uh, okay then. See you there." Suzan said before hanging up.
I can't believe my dad lied to me! What is going on? And who did they find? Ugh, I have way too many questions in my head. I have to find out what those papers really are!
I grabbed my dad's cell phone and gave it back to him.
"What took you so long?" my dad asked.
"Suzan called. I invited her over for dinner." I said.
My dad's eyes grew wide but soon got smaller. "Okay, I'll order some pizza then." my dad said.
"Yay!" Rose screamed.
I put on a fake smile and nodded. It hurts that my dad is lying to me.
An hour later, my grandparents and Suzan came over. I just have to find the right time to go through Suzan's purse and find out what they have been hiding from me and Rose.
"Suzan, it's so good to see you. I want you to feel at home. Let me take that bag and I'll put it in the living room for you."
"Thank you sweetie. I'll be in the kitchen." Suzan said.
Okay, it's time time to find the files while everyone is at the kitchen. I feel so dirty for doing this... but I have to know what those papers are!
I searched and searched for the file in her purse, but the papers weren't in there. Hold on, this wasn't the purse she had this morning. It must mean that the purse with the papers is in her car! I took her car keys out of her purse.
i feel like people ignore this part of the chapter. :/ idk why. please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Second Chance //
Chapter 30
I walked to the dining area where everyone was eating pizza. I sat down next to Rose.
"So, who's the boy that is always with you?" Suzan asked me, trying to create a conversation.
"His name is Brett." I told her.
"Is he your boyfriend or....?"
"Her fiancé." Rose answered.
Everyone's head was snapped to Rose.
"Neighbor. He's just a neighbor!" I responded.
"But you said that you were going to marry him on the first day of school. Remember?" Rose asked.
"Melissa!" my dad shouted.
"Dad, he's not my boyfriend or my fiancé!" I told him.
"I don't know, I'd say that you two are set for life, the way you both always flirt." my grandma commented.
"I think I'm going to have a talk with this Brett boy." my dad murmured.
"And plus, I know that Brett likes you!" Rose added.
"Rose, you have no proof of that." I said.
"Yes I do. I saw-"
"Okay, I'm sorry that I brought this up. Let's just eat the pizza, shall we?" Suzan suggested.
We have been at the dining table eating pizza for around a half an hour. Suzan is actually very nice, intelligent, and funny. And she makes my dad happy. But only if they weren't keeping a big secret!
We suddenly heard a loud thunder.
"I heard that there was suppose to be a storm tonight." my grandpa informed.
"Suzan, it's too dangerous for you to drive back. Why don't you stay here for the night?" my dad suggested.
"Thank you, Derek." Suzan said.
Our dinner was over, so my grandparents, Rose, and I ran back to our house. Obviously since there was a storm!
I walked up to my room and got changed into my pajamas, tank top and shorts.
I opened my window and knocked on Brett's window. I had to tell somebody about those files!
Brett opened the window. Brett was in his t-shirt and pajama pants. "What is it Melissa?"
"Brett! Can I come into your room? This is urgent!" I told him.
"Here." Brett got out a large piece of wood and placed it between our windows. Yeah, getting to each other's room by a tree is kinda dangerous, so we decided to use a large piece of wood as a bridge instead.
I got on the piece of wood and scurried over to Brett's room, all wet since it was raining outside.
"You need a hoodie?" Brett asked as he handed me his hoodie.
"Thanks." I put on his hoodie. His hoodie was too big for me due to our height difference, but it was comfy. It also smells good... okay, erasing that thought from my head.
"So what's up?" he asked.
"I found out that my dad and Suzan have been lying. Suzan isn't an actual real estate agent. Dad and Suzan have also been trying to find someone for a few years and now they found that person. But I have no idea why and who they found. Suzan have these files that I know is the key to finding out what's really going on. But the files are in her car." I explained to Brett.
"Wow, that is complicated." Brett commented.
"So Brett, can you help me find the files in Suzan's car?" I asked.
"How are we going to get in Suzan's car?"
"I have the keys." I said, showing him the car keys.
"Wow Melissa, I never knew you could be such a rebel." Brett chuckled.
Brett and I sneaked out of his house and quickly ran to Suzan's car. I opened the car door and Brett and I got in the car.
"Is the files in the purse at the back seat?" Brett asked, pointing to the purse.
"Yes!" Brett and I scurried over to the back seat, tripping on our own feet. We both laughed.
I searched her purse and quickly found the files. Brett and I looked over at the files.
"Adoption papers?" I said, dumbfounded. Suzan's and dad's name is signed on the paper.
HEHEHE. please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Second Chance //
Chapter 31
"Oh my god." I whispered.
"Maybe they're adopting a child for someone else?" Brett guessed. I highly doubt that.
"Thanks for trying to make me feel better, Brett. But why would dad want to hide something like this from me and Rose?"
"Hey, we can't just start assuming things. Why don't you just take a picture of it in case and let's get out of this car." Brett suggested.
"Ugh, I left my phone in my room!"
"We could use my phone. Cr/p, my phone is about to die. Let's hurry up." Brett directed.
I took a picture of the document with Brett's phone.
I went over to the front seat and place my hand on the door handle, trying to open the door. But the door wouldn't open.
I went through my pocket, trying to find the car keys. They weren't in my pocket. "Brett, where are the car keys?" I asked.
"You have them." Brett told me.
"I can't find the car keys!" I panicked. Brett and I searched the whole car for the car keys.
Then realization finally hit me. "I must have dropped the car keys when I was outside!"
"So we're locked in?" Brett asked. We both looked at each other, our eyes growing wide. All we could hear was the sound of thunder and rain hitting against the floor.
"Brett, try to unlock the car door from the inside!"
"I can't. You need the keys for that." Brett said.
"We. Are. So. Done. For." I said.
"Hey, it's not that bad." Brett commented.
"Brett, we are two teenagers that broke into a car. When Suzan or dad sees us here, imagine how much trouble we are gonna get in."
"At least we found out what your dad and Suzan have been hiding." Brett reminded.
I sighed. "Yeah."
"We might as well get comfortable."
We both placed our heads against a side of the car, trying to sleep.
"Brett, I'm sorry for dragging you into my problems. And now you're trapped in a car, thanks to me."
"Don't sweat it, I don't mind. At least I have some alone time with you." Brett yawned, closing his eyes.
My face flushed bright red, but at least Brett couldn't see it because his eyes was closed. I smiled, and took a peek at Brett's face. He was smirking!
I lightly kicked him.
"What was that for?" Brett asked, laughing.
"You know what that was for!" I said, laughing as well.
The rain kinda drifted me off to sleep, and the fact that Brett was next to me.
"I can't believe I got you into this." I whispered.
"Shh, go to sleep." Brett whispered back.
* * * * * *
I felt a pat on the shoulder. "Melissa, wake up!"
My eyes slowly opened. "Huh?"
"Your dad and Suzan are trying to find the car keys!"
My eyes shot open. We both climbed over to the trunk.
"What time is it?" I whispered.
"I think its around 9 right now." Brett answered quietly.
"We're gonna be late for school!"
"Not our biggest problem right now." Crouch down, they're coming this way." Brett told me.
"Derek, I found the car keys!" Suzan screamed in joy.
Suzan opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.
"Thanks for letting me stay Derek."
"I always accept a beautiful lady into my home." my dad said. My goodness, he's flirting with her!
Suzan blushed. "You are quite a gentlemen. I have to go to work now. Bye Derek!" Suzan said. Brett and I were barely breathing as Suzan drove off to who knows where.
hope you like this chapter! i liked it. haha. please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Second Chance //
Chapter 32
Suzan finally stopped the car at a parking spot next to a building I recognized. The building was only about 6 blocks away from the school.
"Okay, I will slowly open the trunk. On the count to 3, we roll out of the car as silently as possible and then we run." Brett whispered.
I nodded my head.
"1, 2, 3!" Brett slowly opened the trunk and we both ran out of the car as quickly as possible before Suzan noticed us.
After running 3 blocks, we both stopped running, trying to catch our breath.
"Should we go home first?" I asked, still trying to catch my breath.
"Nah, we should just go to school. We're already late." Brett said.
"I hope we don't get detention."
"Yeah. Race you there?" Brett purposed.
"Challenge accepted." I put my hand out for a hand shake. Brett light pushed me away and ran without even shaking my hand.
"Brett, you cheater!" I yelled. Brett laughed at that comment.
I ran, trying to catch up with him, but he was fast. We were near the entrance of the school. Brett ran down the stairs to the front door of the school. Bad move.
I slided down the railing and got to the front door a second before Brett.
"Yes! Victory!" I shouted.
"D/mn it!"
"Haha, cheaters never win." I said as I sticked my tongue out.
We were walking on the empty hallways, still laughing.
"What period is it right now?" I asked.
"First period already passed. So we better get to second period." Brett replied.
I took a look at myself and Brett. "Aren't we attractive right now, Brett?" I said sarcastially. Brett and I had messy hair right now, and we were still in our pajamas.
"This is great, now we can look attractive together." Brett said sarcastically. We both started cracking up.
"Let's hurry up to class. We're already late." I reminded him.
"There is a faster way to get there." Brett responded.
"There i- BRETT!" Brett threw me over his shoulder and we both started laugh again as he ran to math class. When we got to math class, Brett finally put me down.
When we walked in, the whole class turned quiet. Everyone was staring at us.
"Brett and Melissa. Why are you two late.. in your pajamas?" Mrs. Johnson asked.
Everyone in the class started laughing. My cheeks flared up.
We both were about to say something until-
"Forget it, I don't want to know. Just go to your seats." Mrs. Johnson ordered.
I walked to my seat with Bonnie, Lauren, and Stella. They look like they were trying to hold in their laughter.
"What?" I asked, confused.
And that's when they couldn't hold their laughter anymore, and started cracking up. What do they find so funny?
"Girls!" Mrs. Johnson yelled.
"Sorry" the girls said in unison.
Bonnie turned to me. "Melissa, you know that everybody thinks that you and Brett... you know."
"What?" I asked, still clueless.
"Forget it, Melissa is too innocent." Stella reminded.
Suddenly, it all began to click in my mind.
"Wait...., hold on. It's nothing like that!" I said, my cheeks becoming red again.
"Sure it's not." Layla joked.
Class eventually ended. Emma handed me an extra pair of clothes. "Thanks."
All of us girls were by our lockers.
"So why were you two late to school?" Lauren asked.
"The better question is, why were you two in your PJs?" Bonnie asked.
"It's a long story." I replied.
"Well tell us! Or I'mn going to assume that you and Brett-"
"Okay, fine! I'll tell you all the story." I said.
I began telling them everything that happen yesterday. Me finding out that dad lied, the adoptation papers, and getting stuck in Suzan's car, and yada yada yada.
"Melissa, I think you should tell your dad that you know about the adoptation." Layla recommended.
"If I do, wouldn't I have been hiding in Suzan's car for nothing?"
"Yeah, but who cares. You need to talk to your dad." Lauren said.
"I know! How about after school, we go to your house. We could maybe help you with your dad and Suzan problem!" Stella suggested.
"I don't know..."
"Too bad. We're going to your house today." Bonnie finished.
for the next couple of chapters, theres gonna be more drama, i guess. haha. :P please fave if you read the chapter and comment if you want to be notified for the next chapter. (:

Chapter 34
"Plan A was for you and Rose to move to my house, along with Suzan and your new step sister. Plan B was for you, me and Rose to stay together and Suzan and your step sister go their seperate ways." my dad said.
"Melissa, it's your choice. What do you want?" Suzan asked me.
"I have a question. Are you guys... married?" I asked.
"Well, not exactly. But we were planning on getting married, and we love each other." my dad responded.
I swallowed. "Let's go with Plan A."
"Okay, plan A it is. You will meet your new step sister tomorrow." Suzan informed.
"Just promise me one thing. No matter what, you will not leave us." I told them.
"I promise Melissa. You won't regret this decision." my dad promised.
I smiled, hugging dad and Suzan.
That night, I told Rose that we were having a new sister. And I called the girls, telling them the news as well. There's only one person left to tell. Brett.
Since I'm living with dad and Suzan now, I went up to my new room in my new home. I already moved all of my things there.
Our house was right next to Brett's house, so my window was also in front of Brett's other window.
I knocked on Brett's window. A few seconds later, Brett came to the window.
"Wait, shouldn't I be seeing you at my other window?" Brett questioned.
"I moved in to my dad's house. Open your window and get the piece of wood so I can come over. I have big news to tell you!" I told him.
Brett put out the large piece of wood in between our window. I smiled, getting on and walking across, making it to Brett's room.
"So what's up?"
I told him the whole story.
"Oh, congrats! How old is she?" Brett asked.
"I think Suzan said that she was around my age." I replied.
"Cool, another family member. I can tell you right now that my family will invite her to our family vacations." Brett notified me.
I laughed.
"Let me tell you something Melissa. You have the most interesting life I ever seen." Brett admitted.
"Yeah, I know. The girls say that my life is like those dramas on TV." I said, letting out a small laugh.
* * * * * *
The next day, I felt like I could barely hold my excitement. I couldn't wait to get home to see my new step sister. It was current the last period until school ends.
"How many more minutes until class ends?" I whispered.
"Since last time you asked, it was about 25 minutes. Now, it is about 23 minutes until class is over." Ryan whispered.
"Why in such a rush to leave school?" Nick whispered.
"I thought the girls told you. But today I'm going to be seeing my new step sister." I told him.
"Ohh. Good luck." Nick said.
"Stop talking." Ms. Cooks told us.
"Sorry" we all said in unison.
For after what it seems like hours, the bell finally rang.
Suzan was going to pick up Rose, and dad was going to pick up my new step sister. Brett said that he was going to give me a ride home.
"Hey Melissa!" Brett yelled, getting my attention.
"Hey Brett! Let's get to your car quickly so we can get home as soon as possible." I said, accidentally running to someone.
"Watch it!" Katy screamed.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry Katy." I apologized.
"Just get out of my way. I have something to do after school." Katy said, rolling her eyes.
After that, Brett drove me home. I gave him a quick goodbye before running to my house.
"Hello Melissa. Meet your new step sister." Suzan said before leading me to the living room.
When my eyes met hers, both of our jaws dropped. I know that face that I'm looking at.
"Katy?"
"Melissa?!"

Second Chance //
Chapter 26
For a few hours, we were playing board games. Brett probably thinks that our family is weird.
"Oh, I just realized something. I only have one guest room." my dad mentioned.
"That's okay. Lily, Rose, and Melissa can take the guest room. I'll sleep on the couch." Brett offered.
"Thanks Brett." I said.
"No problem."
Eventually, we stopped playing board games and was just relaxing, watching TV in the living room. My dad was in the kitchen, looking for something to eat. I decided to go in the kitchen to finally talk to my dad.
"Dad, who was that woman?" I asked again.
"I thought I told you to drop it."
"Dad, I'm not a little girl anymore. You can tell me if she's your girlfriend." I told him.
"Your mother is the only one that I truly love." my dad snapped.
"Dad, we never really talked about what really happened." I argued. I always wanted to talk to my dad about it, but I never had the courage too.
"You want to know what happened?" my dad asked. My dad lead me to his room and he shutted the door, preventing Rose from hearing our conversation.
"I was stupid, and I was drunk. Somehow one thing lead to another and everything just got messed up." my dad explained.
"I have a question for you dad. How many times did you do it before mom found out? Did you cheat on her more than once?" I asked, afraid of hearing the answer.
"Yes." my dad admitted. I felt tears on my eyes.
"Things weren't right at the time. Your mother and I went through some tough times. We were planning on divorcing anyways." my dad continued.
"Oh my god." Tears were streaming down my face.
"You have to understand. We couldn't tell you. You were too young at the time and Rose was just born."
"I'm sorry, this is a little too much for me to handle in one day." I said before leaving the room, and walked back to the living room.
"Melissa, are you okay?" Rose asked, noticing my tearful and red eyes.
"Yeah, I just fell and stubbed my toe." I lied.
"Oh, you need anything Melissa?" Rose asked. I gave her a smile. She's such a sweetie pie.
"No, that's okay. I'm just going to go outside and have some fresh air." I told everyone.
The minute I walked ouside, I screamed as loud as I can, letting out my anger, sadness, and confusion.
Brett's P.O.V.
What happened? Just about a minute ago everything was going great.
Mr. Jones (Melissa's dad) walked up to me. "Brett, want to talk to you in the kitchen."
Mr. Jones lead me to his kitchen. "Brett, I don't know you all that well. But Melissa seems to trust you, in a way. But I want you to tell her that Suzan is a real estate agent. She is selling me a house that is right next to their's. And also tell her that I love her." Mr. Jones told me.
I nodded my head. "Okay."
"Girls, I'll be right back." I told the girls before walking outside to find Melissa. I found Melissa, sitting on a bench.
Melissa's P.O.V.
"Hey." I heard. I jumped in surprise. I turned around, seeing Brett. I hid my face as Brett sat next to me.
"You probably think I'm crazy." I muffled.
"Well, I wouldn't say crazy. Just very unique and different. Anyways, what happened?" Brett asked.
"It's.... my dad. I don't really want to talk about it." I wiped my tears.
"Your dad told me to tell you that Suzan is just a real estate agent that is selling your dad a house next to yours." My eyes widen.
"He's really moving?"
"Yup, and also, I love you."
My heart skipped a beat when I heard that. "W..what?"
"Your dad says that he loves you." Brett said. I felt my heart drop.
There was a few second pause before I told Brett "I have a question."

He Loves Me not.
Chapter 4
*Rachel's POV*
What the hell is he playing. I know he's fu//cking with me. I stared blankly at him.
"Wait what?"
"Nevermind" he replied looking at his feet.
"Luke you don't like me" I stared at him sourly.
"You're right."
Just like that, he killed the moment.
"That's what I thought as/shole. You know what? Thanks a lot. I'm out of here."
I slammed the bathroom door and I felt the tears coming. I was still a little dizzy, and I knew I couldn't drive. Surprisingly, I hadnt realized Luke had followed me out of the bathroom.
"Here Rachel, it's 2 AM at least let me drive you home."
"Did you drink?"
"No."
"Luke."
"Fine, I had a sip. That's all."
Ughh. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of driving me or have to deal with the awkward thirty minute drive, but realizing Abby was clearly gone, I was running out of options.
"Where'd you park?" I grumbled.
"Right this way" He smirked.
I rolled my eyes.
"Cute car" I laughed.
It actually was a decent car. It was a shiny silver Jeep Wrangler.
"Birthday present" He smiled back at me.
I put my seat belt on. "Here we go," I thought to myself.
"So um really. What brings you to a high school party?" he started.
"Ha, don't laugh at me, but as cheesy as this sounds I just want to get the whole highschool experience. You know? YOLO" I giggled.
I'm a pretty good liar. He looked over at me,
"Really? "YOLO"?" he laughed.
"Eyes on the road mister. So do you ever miss grade school?" I asked.
"I guess. I don't think about it much anymore."
Great. He doesn't think about me.
"Ohh. Yeah highschool's alright" I tried not to sound disappointed.
"I mean I miss the people and all, just not so much the school."
Good save.
"So, meet anyone fun tonight?" He smirked.
"Eh just some guy" I tried to play it cool.
"Who was it? Do you know his name?" he asked suspiciously.
I had him wrapped around my finger. I was totally uninterested in the guy who was shoving his tounge down my throat, but Luke didn't need to know that.
"Oh, just some senior. You don't know him."
He looked at me again.
"You're hooking up with seniors? Really?" he was getting concerned again.
"I never said we hooked up. Even though we did" I teased him.
He didn't laugh.
"So you're doing all of this just because YOLO?"
"Sure" I stuttered realizing how stupid that sounded.
"So how bout you?"
"Huh?" he looked confused.
"Did you 'ya know' find someone special?" I asked trying not to look too concerned.
"Nah. I was too busy saving your as/s."
I laughed.
"Well, sorry you didn't have to."
"I wanted to." he smiled innocently.
"Now, where do I drop you off at or do you just wanna come home with me." He put on a flirty smile.
"Hmm as tempting at that sounds, I'm going to have to pass. It's right off off Weidman. Take a left at the light. Then it's second house on the right."
"Right, here we are."
"You're not a bad driver." I smiled as I unbuckled my seatbelt.
"Ha thanks. I'm glad we got to talk. Text me? We should hang soon."
"Maybe." I smiled.
"Come on that's the least you can do. Remember, I saved your as/s."
I stepped out of the car and closed the door as he rolled down the window.
"I'm expecting a text tomorrow." He tried to not look desperate.
I laughed at him.
"Good night Luke."

Second Chance //
Chapter 24
"Las Vegas?!' I whispered in a yelly tone.
Brett nodded. "Yes. Now shush before you wake up the girls."
I turned my head to see that Rose and Lily were sleeping.
"But it's almost a 9 hour drive!" I whispered.
"So? You want to see your dad, don't you?"
"Of course."
"Then we're going."
"But it's going to waste your time, your gas, and plus, your parents are gonna kill you!"
"Relax Melissa, I don't mind. And my parents probably won't kill me. We're going to be in Las Vegas around 4:00 PM. We probably can spend the night there and then tomorrow, we can head back home." Brett explained.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.
"Yes, I'm 100% sure."
The girls finally woke up. It was 10:34 AM.
"Are we at home yet?" Lily asked.
"Actually, change of plans. We're not going home." I told her.
"Where are we going?" Rose asked.
"It's a surprise." I told them.
"Aww, please tell us!" the girls begged. The girls did the puppy dog eyes.
"Melissa, fight their cuteness." Brett put one of his hands over my eyes while his other hand on the wheel.
The girls and I laughed.
"Brett both hands on the wheel!" I directed.
"Yes, mother." Brett put both of his hands on the wheel.
It was now 11:57. "I'm hungry." Lily complained.
"Me too." Rose chimed in.
"Okay, let's stop at McDonalds." I told Brett.
Brett nodded and drove to the nearest McDonalds. When we got there, we also noticed a 7-eleven next to McDonalds. "Okay, how about I get burgers for all of us at McDonalds, while you take the girls to 7-eleven?" Brett suggested.
"Make sure mine's is vegetarian." I informed.
Brett nodded and went to McDonalds while I took the girls to 7-eleven. "Okay girls, you can get whatever you want." I told them.
The girls ran off to grab some candy. I went to the slurpee machine and got myself a medium sized cup. I decided to get Brett one too. After a few minutes, Brett came to 7-eleven after he got our burgers.
"Hell yes, a slurpee is what I need right now." Brett said as he took his cup of slurpee.
"Push!" I heard.
Rose and Lily were pushing a huge teddy bear towards us. It was like 2 times their size! My eyes widen.
"Can we get the huge teddy bear? Please?" Rose and Lily begged.
"How much?" Brett asked.
"$30 dollars." Lily replied. Rose and Lily did the puppy dog eyes again.
"Fine." Brett said, defeated. Brett got out his wallet.
"Thank you thank you!" both of the girls squealed, hugging Brett.
"If you girls keep doing the puppy dog eyes, I'm gonna be broke." Brett complained.
"Since you girls are gonna get the huge teddy bear, no candy for you girls." I told them.
"Aww." they whined.
"We have got to stop spoiling the girls." Brett mentioned.
We went to the cashier and paid for all of our stuff before going back in Brett's car. The girls sat with the huge teddy bear between them.
Brett drove back to the highway. "An accident is up ahead." Brett informed.
"Brett, are you sure you don't want to go back home?" I asked him.
"For the 100th time, yes I'm sure. Melissa, shut up and get comfortable." Brett ordered.
I turned my head to see the girls asleep, again. I started to feel a little, tired. After all, I did wake up early.
"I think I'm going to take a nap." I told Brett. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep...
"Did you have a good sleep gorgeous?" Brett asked as I woke up.
"It was an okay nap." I blushed.
"Melissa, there's something you should know." Brett said, sounding serious.
"Yes?" I asked, all the sudden feeling nervous.
"I... I like you, a lot." Before I knew it, a soft pair of lips were on mines. Then,
I woke up.
My head shot up, hitting the ceiling.
"What's wrong? Had a bad dream?" Brett asked.
"Yeah." I lied. It was the best dream I ever had. The dream, felt so real. I moved my hands to my lips, tracing the outline of my lips. It had a tingly sensation.
