The Boy Next Door

Chapter 27

Brent's POV

It broke my heart telling Mel that I was going one the Magcon tour for a month.

Before I could go to bed, Brice came in and talked to me for a while.

"So how's Melanie feeling?" He asked sitting on my bed.

"Better," I said putting my suitcase on the floor. "We found out that he ex-boyfriend, Luke, caused all of this."

"Yeah. I heard. It's on the news. By the way, did you tell her about the whole Magcon thing?"

"Yeah. She seemed okay it it," I said.

"Really? I thought that she'd be really upset."

"She was fine. Now get out. I have to get to bed," I said shoving him out of my room.

I went to be thinking about Mel and what Brice said about her being upset.

*in a dream*

I ran into my house and threw my bags inside then ran next door to see Melanie and tell her that I'm home.

Over the tour, I figured that my feelings for her were getting bigger, so I'm takin matter into my own hands and I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend. We talked all the time when I was gone, but towards the end, our conversations seemed less frequent.

I walked in and saw Melanie sitting on the couch watching Up...with Luke.

"Uh... What's happening?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"Oh. Luke and I are back together," Mel said kissing him.

"But he caused your leg and arm to brake! He put you in a coma!"

"That's all in the past, Brent. Let it go already," she said rolling her beautiful blue eyes at me.

"But, I love you!" I yelled crying.

"Sorry dude," Luke said getting up, "she loves me again."

With that, I tried to punch him. But he caught my fist and threw me out.

Mel was jumping into his arms and kissing him.

I felt like my heart just got ripped out. I fell out of the house, but I never hit the ground. I just kept falling.

*end of dream*

I woke up to Brice shaking me.

I was sweating and had a pain in my chest.

"Dude. Wake up. We gotta go."

"Oh. Right," I said getting dressed.

"What were you dreaming about?" He asked me. "You were screaming pretty loud."

"It was nothing," I lied. "We need to get going."

Melanie's POV

*in a dream*

I was watching a movie when Luke walked in. And I was fine with it. Then Brent walked in. He's finally back!! I missed him so much!

"Uh... What's happening?" He asked.

I tried to say that Luke just came in my house but the only words that came out were "Oh. Luke and I are back together." Then I kissed him.

Why am I doing this?? I love Brent! Not this asshole.

Then Brent said that he was the one who broke my leg and arm and put me in a coma. The only thing that I could say was "That's all in the past Brent. Let it go already."

What is wrong with me???? Why am I saying all of this??

Brent yelled "But, I love you!"

I wanted to tell him that I loved him too, but Luke got up and said that I love him again. The only thing I wanted to do now was yell at Luke but I just stood there, not able to move.

Brent was about to punch Luke, but he caught his fist then threw him out the door.

I wanted to cry but all I did was jump in Luke's arms and kissed him like I never did before.

*end of dream*

I woke up crying and Jessica looked really freaked out.

"What the heck were you dreaming about?" She asked. "You kept saying things about Brent. And Luke."

"I-I-I don't know," I said getting up. "But I need to call Brent before he gets on a plane."

I called Brent and luckily he picked up.

(M = me B = Brent)

M - Hey. When are you getting on a plane?

B - Not for another half hour. Why? Are you okay?

M - Yeah. I'm fine. I just need to tell you about a strange dream I had last night.

B - I had a weird one too. But you first.

M - Well, you were in it... So was Luke.

B - Same with me! Were you watching a movie then I walked in?

M - Yeah. I'm thinking we had the same dream.

B - Yeah.. Maybe...

M - So did you mean what you said about me? That you loved me?

B - I don't know. It was just a dream.

M - Oh. Okay. I gotta go. Jess wants food.

B - Okay. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

I hung up and almost started crying yet again.

The only reason why I asked him if he really meant what he said was because I wanted to see if he really loved me. When he said it was just a dream, my heart broke a little.
