Chapter

By Cortney
Later That Night
Melissa's View
I was so mad at Nick for what he did
to me on stage. He humilated me so much and I wish I didn't come now.
All I wanted to do was crawl in a hole and die. I have never been
so humilated in my life. Why does everything happen to me? I looked
around the hotel room and thought that maybe this dream was too much and now
everyone knows who I am at that concert. I didn't want any special
treatment and thats what I got thanks to Nick. There was a knock on the
door, I got up and walked over to see who it was. It was Denise.
"Hey!" She said walking in a little bit. 'Whats the matter
sweetie?"
"I just have never been humilated before like that in front of
people." I said and letting the tears fall freely.
"They do that to let people know hunny. It makes the kids stay or
whatever more enjoyable. Nick as you know is the prankster of the group
and so thats nothing new." She said making me smile a little bit.
"Yeah but I wasn't expecting that and it just scared me." I
said sitting down in a chair that was in the room.
"You just seem so jumpy since you've been here, is there something
wrong?" I looked at her and back down at the ground. I didn't
want to tell her about my father and stuff, but deep down something told me
that maybe she could help live the rest of my life happy and stuff.
"Its just things at home and stuff. My parents aren't the best
parents. Even for Christmas they didn't get me anything because they
said I won't be around to enjoy them."
"Well did you get anything for Christmas? Didn't you say you have a
brother and a sister?" Denise asked pulling a chair up in front of
me.
"Yeah my brother and sister did. But I have hope that maybe they
will find the cure and my parents are going to feel so stupid for what they
did." I said wiping the tears away and sitting up in my chair.
"Well whats your long term goal?" Denised asked standing up to
get me a tissue.
"I want to see my 18th birthday. I don't care if I die that day or
that night, I just want to see one more birthday." I said and
thinking thats probably the dumbest thing anyone has ever heard, but if anyone
was in my shoes they would understand. I know I don't have much time left and
with my dream coming true, I knew that God could come and take me away any day
now or something. Denise and I talked for about an hour more and than she
left. I got dressed and climbed into bed and soon fell asleep.
