If the heart is always searching...

Can you ever find a home?

Chapter Thirteen

When Nick got home his brothers saw that he was upset.

Kevin:  What’s wrong?

Nick:  She didn’t believe me.

Joe:  Who didn’t believe you?

Nick:  Melody.  I talked to her at the park.

Kevin:  At least you told her.

Joe:  It’s not your fault if she didn’t believe you.

Nick:  He’s going to hurt her.  And she won’t listen to me.  What should I do?

Kevin:  You’ve done all you can.

Joe:  Just pray she doesn’t get hurt.

 

Meanwhile Melody was with Jake.

Jake:  What’s wrong?

Melody:  I can’t believe Nick!  He tried to tell me that you kissed another girl and are planning to hurt me.

Jake:  That’s crazy.  Where is that jealous creep?

Melody:  Don’t worry about it.  I know you won’t hurt me.

Jake:  Yeah, right.  Come on.  Let’s go get some pizza.

Melody:  Okay.

Later at Paul’s Pizza, Melody’s favorite pizza place, they sit down and order pizza and Melody sees Khrisandra.

Melody:  Oh my gosh!  Not her.  I thought I’d never have to see her again.

Jake:  Who?

Melody:  Khrisandra.

Khrisandra walks over to the table.

Khrisandra:  Hi Melody!  Long time no see.

Melody:  Yeah.

Khrisandra:  Jake, I am a big fan of yours.

Jake:  Awesome.

Khrisandra:  So are you two dating now or what?

Melody:  As a matter of fact we are.

Khrisandra:  So what’s your celeb name?

Melody:  It’s either Jody or Melake.

Jake:  I like Melake better.

Khrisandra:  So do I.  Well got to go.  TTYL.

Khrisandra leaves.

Melody:  This has been a bad day.

Jake:  Don’t feel too bad.

Melody:  Why?

Jake:  ‘Cuz I’m still your boyfriend.

Melody (giggling):  Wow.  You are so…

The two lean in towards each other and kiss.

Melody:  romantic.  I’ll see you later.

Jake:  Okay.
