Melanie POV:
The sun beaming through the windows and hitting my eyes wakes me up, not happy. I sit up and look around to see me and Kim both fell asleep on the couch last night, I stand up and fix the blanket on her, and go to close the curtains so Kim can sleep better.
I get to my room and sign into my computer quickly, with everything that has been going on I've been forgetting to work. I work from home and my job is basically just write essays about whatever topic my boss gives me, and i get paid pretty decently so I don't complain at all. I get to my emails and see my boss gave me 2 essays to write so I start those.
After an hour of writing I finally finish them and send them in to my boss. I stand up and stretch before leaving my room. I walk out to see Kim eating some toast on the couch.
"Hey Kimmy" I sit next to her. "Hey melly" she smiles. A few years ago we decided to make nicknames out of our nicknames that only each other can say, so if anyone else calls her Kimmy they die.
She grabs the toast and brings it up to my mouth and I happily take a bite. "Want some coffee?" She nods and i get up to start a pot.
I check the time to see it's only 11 and I don't really have much to do today.
The coffee finishes brewing and I pour two mugs for me and Kim. I sit down handing her coffee to her. She thanks me and takes a sip. "So have you talked to Tom?" I knew she was gonna bring him up. "Nope, I'm just trying to forget he exists" She nods and keeps eating, giving me bites. "Have you talked to Bill?" She shakes her head and takes a sip. "No but he's called me a lot, but I'm just not gonna talk to him much today in support of you"
"Thank you Kim, but I don't want what happened to ruin your relationship with Bill, I know you really like him. Just call him" she smiles and gives me a hug and a peck on the cheek before grabbing her phone and walking out of the room. I smile to myself and finish the toast she left.

Tom POV:
She hates me. She still hasn't responded to me or Bill. I have no idea what to do, I actually start to like a girl and Charlotte fucking ruins it. Im pulled out of my thoughts by Bills phone ringing, we both snap our heads to each other and he grabs his phone fast.
His face lights up and I start to get happier. "Is it Mel??" He looks back at me and his smile fades a bit. "Well it's Kim, but she might be calling about Mel!" I nod and he answers it and walks out of the room.
I sit on the couch waiting for him to come back, after what seemed to be 30 minutes he finally comes back and sits next to me. "Kim didn't really want to talk about Mel but she did say that Mel is trying to forget you.." I groan and stuff my face in my hands. "I cant lose her Bill, I actually really like her"
"I know that, you talk about her more than anything" he laughs making me laugh too. "But, Kim told me she left her bag here last night so she's gonna come by and get it and Mel is gonna drive her so maybe she'll come inside and you can talk to her?" I immediately get up and start walking around the room.
"What am I going to say? Will she even listen to me? What if she thinks I'm lying? What if she-" I'm immediately interrupted by Bill.
"Tom, chill. Just be you" I nod and get upstairs to change.

Melanie POV:
Kim finally comes back into the room smiling at me. "Soo me and Bill are good, buttt I kinda need you to take me over there because I left my purse" I just sigh and nod before getting up to change. I just throw on some black flare leggings and a white tank crop top, paired with simple black converse, i just brush through my hair since it's still straight from last night. After Kim changes we head out and start driving to the twins' house.
We pull back into the neighborhood and I get flashbacks to last night. How could I let a whore embarrass me like that!? If I ever see Charlotte again, I will punch her stupid teeth out.
I get to the house and pull into the driveway since we are just going to be here for like a minute. "Will you come in with me?" I look over Kim with an annoyed look. "Kim I don't want to see him"
"Please Mel? I don't wanna go alone" I just sigh and nod. She hugs me quickly and we walk up to the door together. She knocks on the door and after a few seconds the door swings open, revealing a very happy Bill. "KIM!!" He immediately hugs her, picking her up off the ground. He puts her down and they kiss before he turns to me. "Mel! I'm so happy you're here!!" He says a little loud like he's alerting someone? We hug and he leads us inside. We get in and i look over to the living room to see what I literally did not want to see.
Tom.
He's sitting there staring right at me. He looks nervous?
I just scoff and follow Bill and Kim to the kitchen.

Tom POV:
As me and Bill are sitting on the couch waiting we finally hear a knock on the door. Bill jumps up and looks at me. "Relax" I just nod and he walks over to the door.
I can't see out from where I'm sitting but I hear him yell "Kim" and I guess hug her. He puts her down and he turns a little and my heart immediately drops hearing him say something to Mel. I sit up more straight and wait for them to walk in. First Bill and Kim walk in holding hands smiling and walking to the kitchen.
Mel follows behind and shuts the door. Wow she looks amazing. She has leggings on which are my weakness and all I can think is how good her ass looks in them. She turns to me and we make eye contact, i get nervous because she looks so disgusted by me, she really does hate me. She scoffs and walks to the kitchen to Bill and Kim.
Her ass does look good in those leggings.

Melanie POV:
I sit next to Kim and the island and we start talking about random shit. I hear movement behind me and turn to see Tom sitting right next to me, we make eye contact and he smiles a little but I just roll my eyes and look away. I can hear him let out a sigh and turn away.
We all keep talking and I can feel Toms eyes on me every time I speak or move. Can he get the hint already!?
"Mel can we please talk?" Kim and Bill keep talking to each other as I look over to Tom. "About how you're a liar or about how you're an asshole? Or both!" He just sighs and looks at his lap.
"Just let me explain, please"
Please is always my weakness so I reluctantly agree and he leads me somewhere. We leave a back door and walk out to a pool. In the corner of the pool is a little waterfall and he leads me to the top and sits down, as I sit next to him.
"When you went to the bathroom I went to get us beers and then Charlotte came up to me and started talking a bunch of shit, I tried walking away to find you but then she forced herself on me and kissed me, she like dug her nails in my neck forcing me. I tried to pull away put she was really hurting my neck and the more I pushed away the more she pulled in. As soon as she let go a little I pushed her right off me. She's a very nasty sloppy kisser i didn't enjoy any of it, I'm so sorry Mel, I meant what I said and I really really like you, and I can't stand you being mad at me, please forgive me"
I stare at him surprised, that was the most he's ever said to me at once. I think and look at the water for a second before looking back at him. "Well her texts made it really seem like you wanted it" he just looks at me confused. "What texts?"
I pull out my phone and show him the texts from her. He reads them and his face goes red and he looks pissed. "I never was and never will be hers!" I slowly nod and put my phone away. "Im so sorry Mel, she's a fucking cunt that can't accept I actually like another woman" I quickly pull him into a hug, he's tense at first but relaxes into the hug quick. After sitting there hugging for what felt like hours I pull away, our faces now inches apart. Tom glances at my lips as I do the same, he finally leans in and connects our lips. our lips move in sync, meshing together perfectly, he brings one hand to my cheek and the other to my waist, I put both my hands cupping his cheeks.
We keep making out like this for a while before I pull away slowly. He just looks at me and smiles, a genuine smile. Not like a smirk after he says something stupid or anything, but a real happy smile. I smile back and lay my head against his chest.
"Tom.." I look up at him. "Mel?"
"If Charlotte is going to be a problem for us, i need to know the backstory" he looks at me a second and looks at the water, he slowly nods and turns back to me.
"Charlotte was a childhood friend from Germany, me and Bill met her when we were 10, she was my first kiss, and my first girlfriend. She always told us our band wasn't going to make it anywhere and that we sounded like shit, she always said that she was just looking out for us but that's a lie. By time our music started getting recognized, she started acting different. We dated again when I was 16 and she used me, she made me by a bunch of shit for her, and sometimes after we bought it she would change her mind and throw it away. I found out she was going around fucking other guys around town and telling them that she loved them. That's what made me snap and not believe in love, I started to have different girls in my bed because I thought that was better than love. But after meeting you Mel.. I wanna try again. So Charlotte can fuck herself because I only want you Mel"
Okay now that was the most he's said to me at once. "Well she's a dumb bitch, and funny for thinking she can take what's mine" he stares at me a second before smirking and playing with his lip piercing.
"I'm yours?"
"Mhm, and I'm yours"
