The Boy Next Door

Chapter 24

Melanie's POV

Cam came by today like he said he would and both Jess and Brent stayed with me until the doctor said I was okay to go home. Thank you Jesus!

Before I left, he have me crutches. I have to use them for 6 weeks. That's when I get the leg cast off then have a brace for 2 weeks. The arm cast comes off in 4 weeks then I'm all done.

We had to stop at the pharmacy to pick up my pain medication before I could go home, so Brent drive to CVS. He had Jess come in with me because he thought that I would get hurt.

We got in and out within 15 minutes then we finally made it home.

When I opened the door, I found all the guys here with a huge sign that read 'Welcome Home Mel!' and everyone signed it.

I was freaking out inside because 1.) everyone went though all this trouble for me and 2.) I still don't remember meeting them so, fangirl moment. Who wouldn't freak out if Magcon was in their house?!

I got to the couch and tried to relax.

Both Jacks helped get pillows for my leg and Nash grabbed a pillow for my arm.

"Guys. You're being sweet, but you don't have to do this for me. That's what Jess is for," I said.

"But we want to help you," Aaron said.

"Yeah. We're leaving Tuesday and it's Friday," Cameron said sitting next to me. Holy crap!!

These guys I barley know besides from on the computer are trying to help me! I don't know what to fricking do! They're here like we're all friends, but I can't remember.

"I can't do this," I said getting up, "I'm sorry."

I finally got up and went upstairs to my room were I could be alone.

Jessica's POV

Mel ran, well not ran. But hopped with her crutches upstairs crying.

"What was that all about?" Matt asked.

"She's probably gonna get her period soon," Carter laughed.

"Dude. That's not funny," Brent said while hitting him.

"She's just stressed," I said, "you guys care about her because you know her. She's trying to remember all of you, but she can't. Maybe if she tries a little less, she'll remember some things."

"Should we go up there and talk to her?" Cam asked.

"I don't think so. Give her some space and she'll come around," I told them.

Right when I said that, my phone buzzed. I checked it and Melanie texted me.

Can you guys all come up here plz?

Sure.

Brent's POV

Jess said that Mel wanted is to come upstairs. And being the great friend I am, I bolted up the stairs.

I heard Taylor say, "Ooohh, kill 'em."

Everyone laughed and I some what slowed down. I was still the first one in her room, but I did slow down.

When I walked in, I saw that Mel on her bed with light mascara stains on her cheeks. I hate seeing girls cry like this.

Melanie's POV

Brent was the first one in and he looked upset.

He sat down next to me, and started playing with my hair.

Everyone else made their way in and I started crying lightly again.

"Guys, I'm sorry," I said between breaths. "I shouldn't have freaked out on you."

"It's fine," Shawn said. "You're under a lot of stress and pressure. You're forcing yourself to remember."

"Thanks, Shawn," I said struggling to get up just to hug him. But he got up and came to me.

Inside, I'm freaking out but outside, I just let it happen.

The guys stayed with me cheering me up until their manager called and said that they have to leave a few days early.

They all signed my casts, have me and Jess a hug, then left.

Not before Hayes gave Jessica a goodbye kiss!

Everyone, including Brent, left because I just had to talk to Jess.

We went back downstairs to sit on the couch so we could talk about what just happened.

"Oh my god!! Jessica! That was your first kiss! Plus it was with Hayes Grier!"

"I know! I can't believe it!" She screamed.

We continued to talk until there was a knock on the door.

Jess got up to get it and when she opened the door, I almost passed out.

It was Luke.
