Love is War
Chapter 10
"Melanie!" I yelled at thee top of my lungs.
"You don't have to scream I'm right here," she said, startling me when I noticed she was behind me in the kitchen.
"Oh, I didn't see you," I told her.
"So, why did you wanna talk to me?" She asked. Here it goes.
"Melanie, remember how you said you had a sister named Kylie and you haven't seen her in forever?" I asked.
"Amanda, I don't wanna talk about her. I cry every time you bring her up," she said. Her eyes were getting watery and I knew she would be happy when I told her that she's here.
"I know where Kylie is. She's in Blake's gang. Harry used to date her. She changed her last name to Perez, if that's even possible, but you know she's filthy rich so she could even bribe the president," I told her.
"KYLIE IS HERE?! IN HOLMES CHAPEL?! HOW COME I DIDN'T KNOW THIS?!" She asked. There was joy in her eyes.
"I found out today because of Harry. But the bad thing is, since she's in Blake's gang, she hates Harry and his gang. And I'm Harry's girlfriend. Blake is always trying to cause trouble and you know it. They bully us, but Harry and the gang are always there to help us out," I told her and I could tell she was heartbroken.
"At least I know she's alive, and that's enough for now. I'm gonna go call my mom and tell her," she told me. Okay? She wasn't that hurt, but still, I knew she felt terrible. I thought she was going to want to join Blake's gang to be with her sister, but I was wrong. I don't even know why I doubted Melanie, she is one of my BFFs.

"Hey Amanda, I know that it's only Tuesday, but I can't wait for Saturday!" Melanie told me. Was she going on a date with Niall?
"Why can't you wait for Saturday? I mean, I know it's the weekend, and trust me I can't wait for that, but is there any other reason that you can't wait for Saturday, like maybe something that has to do with Niall?" I asked her and I wiggled my eyebrows up and down, making her laugh.
"No, I'm going to go visit my mom in Miami!" She said and I struggled to keep a smile on my face. I don't have a mom anymore. Well, I do in spirit, but that's not enough. I also lost my dad, so that really sucks. Melanie noticed the struggle in my eyes.
"Oh. I'm so sorry Amanda I forgot. I didn't mean to get you upset," she told me, trying to comfort me. Soon, the whole gang was here and they kept trying to cheer me up. It worked.
"Thanks guys, you cheered me up. You can stop making silly faces now," I told them as I laughed.
"But I don't wanna stop making silly faces, it's fun," Louis said, making everyone laugh. The bell rang and Harry took my hand as we walked to P.E. We kissed before entering because the coach is a huge romantic and last time we kissed in P.E. she offered to take a picture for a chance to win "Cutest Couple" in the yearbook and she also draws rings on her fingers, pretending they are engagement rings. It's sad.
"OK class, I'm happy that all of you remembered not to change today, because we are going to be giving 9th graders a tour of the school!" She exclaimed with a smile on her face. Everyone wanted to show the 9th graders that would come to the school next year what it was like, because we wouldn't have to deal with their annoying presence. It was the least we could do. Haha.
Harry and I made out in front of the 9th graders, and they either smiled, pointed and laughed, made out with their bf/gf, or cry because they wanted a relationship like Harry and I's. We both smirked, accomplishing our goal.
When school was over and I was home, Melanie ran to the elevator and began to pack. She was super excited for Saturday. Who could blame her? I miss my parents like crazy.

"Bye, Mel!" Rachel and I waved goodbye as Melanie walked into the airport. We ran outside of the car and dashed to where she was before we could loose her in the airport and we gave her a big hug.
"Now seriously, bye. See you in a week!" Rachel shouted as we made our way to the car.
Melanie's POV
I made my way through the airport and bought some things until the flight was called. I made my way into the airplane and sat there, waiting with my seat belt on, until we took off.
It's been an hour now. Ugh. I can't wait to be in Miami. Wait, I fell asleep, I've been in this plane for more than hour. I'm in first class, so it hasn't been that annoying, but I still hate planes.
"Um, excuse me, how much longer until we get to Miami?" I ask a flight attendant.
"An hour," she told me. Ugh! I HATE AIRPLANES! I'm not a patient person.
"Um, this is the pilot. We are experiencing some technical difficulties. No worries, the engine should be working properly in a moment.
There was a problem with the engine?! Now, I was scared to death. I knew that when they say that, it means the engine is stopping and the plane is going to fall. Next thing you know, the plane is falling to the ground.
Rachel's POV
I wonder if Melanie is in Miami yet. She should be. I turn on the TV and switch through the channels until I can barely breathe.
"Tragedy tonight, there has been a problem with one of the airplane engines and it fell to the ground as it arrived Miami. The plane fell in a forest, and when it hit the ground, it exploded. There has been many deaths tonight, including our beloved pilot, Mr.Jones. This is tragic. If you had a friend or family in this plane, I'm so sorry for your loss. We all are. We have already gotten the identities of some of the dead, and we are still trying to figure out what went wrong with the plane. There were only two survivors, and that was Jane Soprano and Ashley Cuervo. Well, if you didn't hear your friend or family member as a survivor, then you know. We're so sorry," the woman said. The first time I watch the news, it's tragic. Melanie was in that plane. I start to cry and knock on Amanda's door. When she opened it, she was crying too, and the news was on. She also knew that Melanie passed away.
We called the gang and told them. Niall cried like crazy. It was a tragic moment. Niall had a heart attack five minutes after being told what happened. We all waited at the hospital. I can't believe that we were going to lose him too. I was about to start crying, but then the nurse informed us that he made it. Good, I didn't want him to die, too. It was horrible. We all clapped and thanked the nurse and the doctors, but we were still super sad.
That night, Amanda stayed at Harry's. I was alone at home again. Now that Harry and Amanda are dating, and Melanie is dead, I'll always be alone. Niall called and asked if he could come over. I agreed because I knew how heartbroken he was, plus, he's nice and I need some company.
When Niall arrived, his eyes were red and puffy from crying. He had tear drops on his cheek. I felt horrible for him, he really loved her.
"I'm sorry, I'm an emotional wreck," he told me, wiping away a tear.
"It's ok, I understand. I've cried a lot today, too. Come on, I know it's not the best time, but want to watch a movie? If you don't, then it's fine I'm not in the mood for a movie at all, but it's a good way to get this out of our minds for a while, as impossible as it may seem," I told him. I felt really bad for him. I wanted to cheer him up, and at the same time, cheer myself up.
"That's a good idea. I'm sorry. If you want I can go, I don't want to bother you," he told me. I could never let him go alone to his house when he's like this! He could commit suicide for all I know!
"No Niall, stay here. You're not bothering me in any way. Now, how about we get some food?" I asked him and his eyes lit up.
"How about pizza?" I asked him and he quickly agreed.
We ordered some pepperoni pizza and coke. We watched movies all night and I got him to laugh. We stayed up all night, and by 1:00 am I was super tired. I think Niall was too, because he yawned and looked at me, making sure I noticed his tired eyes.
"Um, Niall, I'm going to sleep, I'm really tired," I told him.
"Me too, can I sleep in your room? You know, so I won't be alone. I miss having Melanie next to me. I used to hold her in her sleep. I just want someone to cuddle with," he told me and I stay there in shock. He noticed I was taking long to answer.
"Um, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I'll go now. Bye. Thanks for trying to cheer me up," he told me as he made his way towards the elevator.
"No Niall, wait. You can stay. Come on, my room is this way," I told him. Wait, did I just agree to let him sleep with me, in my bed, and cuddle?! Well, it's the least I can do. We're both torn apart.
"Thanks, but you don't have to if you don't want to," he told me.
"No really, stay," I told him. He gave me a smile and I showed him my room. He took off his shirt, showing his amazing abs. Then he took off his pants, standing there, only in his boxers. Wow.
"Oh, um, I'm sorry. I'll put my pants back on if you want. I usually just sleep in my boxers," he told me. Well, the boy was sad...
"It's fine, just don't take off you're boxers," I said and we both left. I slept in a really long tshirt and butt shorts. As soon as I got in bed, Niall and I cuddled. He wrapped me in his strong arms. I dozed off not long after that. It was an amazing night, except for the fact that one of my best friends just died.
AMANDA'S POV
I cried into Harry's chest as he hugged me tight in his arms.
"It's gonna be ok, trust me. We're all going to miss Melanie, but we'll get through it, together," Harry told me. That really comforted me. I loved the way he kept trying to cheer me up.
"Thanks Harry, that really helped," I told him, wiping a tear from my eye. He held me tighter as I started to calm down. He gave me a kiss on the lips and we made our way to his room.
"Harry! Not tonight! My best friend just died! We are not going to what you wanna do! NO SEX TONIGHT!" I yelled at him and we both laughed.
"Fine, none of that, but we can just cuddle. Naked," he told me and I laughed.
"No, but I'm fine with being in my bra and underwear," I told him.
"Fine, but that's a way that you usually don't sleep. I usually sleep in my boxers, so I'll take them off," he told me and I giggled.
"As much as I want to see that, tonight is not the night. You're gonna sleep in your boxers," I told him and he pouted. Be strong Amanda! Be strong! I told myself. I looked away so I wouldn't give in. He told me he'd stay in his boxers and then I looked back at him. I won the battle again!
I fell asleep in his strong arms and we cuddled the whole night through. Harry squeezed my ass a few times, but other than that, it was perfect. I love Harry, and I just can't let him go.
"You don't have to scream I'm right here," she said, startling me when I noticed she was behind me in the kitchen.
"Oh, I didn't see you," I told her.
"So, why did you wanna talk to me?" She asked. Here it goes.
