'Did you hear that?' I asked Becky while putting my ear to the wall.
'Hear what?' Becky asked as she came out of the bathroom 'Now you're turning into me'
'Whatever' I mumbled and hushed her. I could hear faint talking in the other room.
'Come on' Becky sighed, taking my hand and leading me to the hallway where Mel and some other girl stood.
'Whats going on here?' I asked seeing that it wasn't a good situation.
'Umm...Autumn, this is Marissa...an old friend' Scott introduced the girl. Autumn climbed out of her bed, still in the clothes she had last night.
'Hi Autumn' Marissa shook her hand. I looked over to Mel who was standing quietly on the side, her eyes fixed on Scott.
'Didn't Scott dump Autumn yesterday?' I whispered to Becky.
'He did?' She exclaimed confused. Marissa glanced at us and smiled 'Who are you?'
'Oh, we're Mel's mates' I told her 'I'm Liz and this is Becky'
'Hi, I'm Marissa' she smiled sweetly 'Um.. did we caught Scott at a wrong time?'
'No!' Scott jumped in 'I mean...not at all!'
'Breakfast is being served' Melanie spoke up 'Lets go...Marissa would you like to join us?'
'I would love to!' She exclaimed excited following Mel to the elevator.
'Are you coming Scott?' I asked, seeing him stuck to the floor motionless.
'I'll be right there' He replied watching Autumn leave then suddenly pulled me inside the room 'I told her I love her!' He exclaimed to me.
'Told who?'
'Melanie!' He let out a loud sigh 'And now she saw this...she will never forgive me!'
'Didn't you dump Autumn last night?'
'Yea...but...well, she keeps insisting on us being together!'
'Then you're in a lot of troule' I patted him on the back.
'What am I going to do now?' He exsperated.
'Hide' I proposed walking out onto the hallway 'Or just forget about women'
Ritch and I ran into the hotel only to catch Scott and others walking into the restaurant.
'Hey mate!' Scott ran up to Ritch 'Where were you'
'We fell asleep in the theater!' Ritch replied hopelessly.
'What were you doing?' Scott asked with suspicion.
'Nothing' Ritch mumbled 'I'm going to my room to take a shower.'
'You'll miss the breakfast' I told him.
'Its okay' He waved his arm at me and slowly walked to the elevator.
I sighed and turned to Scott 'Did I miss anything interesting?'
Scott looked around and shurgged carelessly 'Not really'
We all walked into the restaurant and took our seats.
'Amanda...where were you all night?' Liz asked when she saw me.
'Its a long story' I sighed and grabbed a menu, suddenly realizing there was someone knew at the table 'Who are you?'
'Merissa' Autumn replied happily 'She's Scott's friend.
'Oh' I shrugged and looked over the menu, almost drooling at the stuff they had there.
Autumn
'Scott, Mel and I all went to the same school Marissa told us 'Remember the good old times?'
'Yea' Scott nodded dazed. I looked over to Mel who was staring at her napkin.
'Were you 3 best friends?' I asked Marissa.
'No, not really' She sighed 'Scott had his friends...Mel had hers'
'Marissa was shared by us both' Scott laughed, looking at Melanie for support. I took his face and kissed him on the cheek just to prove my point.
'Well...I had to leave 3 years ago' Marissa continued 'It was so sad leaving everything behind..'
'Remember the farewell party?' Mel spoke up, she looked at Marissa with memories in her mind.
'Yes...' Marissa replied slowly, her gaze going from me to Scott to Mel 'How could I forget?'
'Hey guys, sorry we're late' J walked in with Sean and Abs 'Hey whose this lovely lady?'
'Marissa' Marissa handed her hand 'I should have a name tag here' she giggled.
'Nice to meet you' J shook her hand and took a seat by Liz.
'These are my band mates by the way' Scott told her 'That's J, Abs and Sean'
'Hi guys...I've always wanted to meet some famous people'
'Oh, we're not that famous' Sean laughed cheekily.
'Oh please! You should go to Canada see how much they love you there!'
'They do?' Scott asked almost amazed at that thought.
'Yes Scottie...they do' Marissa laughed. I thought I was the only one to call him Scottie.
Abs took a seat by me and sat in silence for few moments. He leaned towards me and whispered 'Where were you?' he asked 'I thought you'll come back to the room'
'I met Marissa on the way' I told him without looking at him.
'What's wrong?' He asked concerned seeing that I was a bit pale.
'Nothing' I mumbled and sipped my coffee.
'I'm glad to see that Scott and Mel remained friends through out all this time' Marissa laughed. I looked up at Scott, he caught my glance and smiled weakly. I turned my head away from him, back to the cup.
'Excuse me' I said quietly, pushing my chair away and walking away from the table. As I walked out of the restaurant, Scott appeared by my side.
'Melanie' He said quietly, stopping me 'Please, let me explain'
I turned to face him, my face blank with expression 'I can't believe you' I said weakly 'You announce your love to me then move on to Autumn...you can't have the best of both worlds!'
'But I do love you Mel' He insisted 'Autumn just had this thing and I was there to comfort her...'
'By fucking her?' I snapped.
'We did not have sex!' He told me firmly 'I wouldn't do that to you'
'Well you did' I said quietly 'I'm sorry but I can't be with you until you make up your mind...and even then I'm not sure what my answer would be'
'But my mind is already made up' Scott took my hand, he looked straight into my eyes 'I love you'
'Do you really?' I looked at him questionably 'Cause I don't think I do'
'But you told me yesterday...' He stopped and looked at me confused.
'Yea' I nodded 'Things change Scott...you should know it by now' I took my hand away from his and walked back into the restaurant.
