Always Will Be Together
Part Three

“MELISSA!” screamed her family.
The next day, Melissa’s father found Melissa unconscious under her balcony. He immediately called 911, and the ambulance took her away.
Two houses down, another ambulance carried the unconscious Alice down to the hospital. The Moffatts were there and saw the chaos in the street.
When Dave walked out of the house, Melissa’s father immediately attacked him.
“You son of a bitch!” screamed her father. “You did this to her!” Andrew and Sean pulled their father off of Dave. Clint held on to Dave’s arm.
“I did this to her?” screamed Dave, tears streaming his face, “You kept her away from me!”
“She was going to go to you!” screamed Melissa’s father.
“She was going to go to him from the window because you kept her away from him!” said Clint.

In the same lawn, Alice’s father was attacking Scott.
“You kept her away from me! She said that she loves me!” screamed Scott.
“Scott, calm down.” Said Bob.
“Because of you, she tried to kill herself!” said Alice’s father.
“Because of YOU, she was alone! She wants to go to Scott! You wouldn’t let her! She hates you dad, she’s not going to forgive you.” Brendan said.
“You shut up!” screamed his father.

In the hospital…

The three sets of parents sat in separate corners, worrying about what will happen to the two girls.
Brendan, Andrew, Sean, Clint, Dave, Bob and Scott sat with the Moffatts.
“Andrew, Sean, you’re sitting with the wrong family.” Said their dad.
“No dad, you’re wrong.” was their reply.
“Brendan, sit with us.” Said his dad.
“No.”

The doctor came out and got everyone’s attention.
“Both of the girls are alive, but they’re both unconscious. The chance of them living is 50-50. Alice had her stomach pumped, and should be ok, but it really depends on her. If she is strong, but chances are, she won’t because she wanted to kill herself in the first place. Melissa, however, is strong, but like Alice, it really depends on how well she’ll fight it.”
“Doctor, is it ok if we put the two girls in the same room? They’re best friends.” Suggested Dave.
“Sure.” They rolled Alice’s bed into Melissa’s room. The three families walked into the room.
Dave began to walk towards Melissa when “Don’t you dare go near her!”
Dave turned around and saw Melissa’s father, staring at him angrily.
“You know what?” Dave said angrily. “You are a terrible father. You’re trying to make Melissa happy? That’s BS! You’re making her life miserable. It’s your fault that this happened.”
“No it’s not.” Said Melissa’s father.
“Go to hell.” Said Dave, walking towards Melissa, leaving Mr. Bass speechless.
Dave, Andrew and Sean walked up to Melissa. Dave held her hand and Andrew held the other.
In Alice’s side, Scott and Brendan held her hand. Alice’s father and mother slapped Scott’s hand away, but Scott slapped him.
“Leave me alone.”

Four hours later…

“Look Dave, I’m sorry that I kept you away from Melissa.” Said Melissa’s father softly.
“Apology accepted.” Said Dave.
“And I’m sorry that I kept you away from Alice, Scott.” Said Alice’s father.
“Apology accepted.” Replied Scott.
They all looked at the two girls in front of them.

“Don’t walk away, why don’t you stay, I’ve been waiting for somebody like you. Please don’t walk away, why won’t you say, that you’re ready and you’re feeling it too…
Cause if it’s love… if it’s love… Then don’t walk away.”
The Moffatts sang.

Dave felt Melissa’s hand tightened on his hand. He looked at Andrew, who looked back at him with widened eyes. They looked at Scott and Brendan...they nodded.
“Can this be true, tell me can this be real? How can I put into words what I feel? My life is complete, I thought I was whole, why do I feel like I’m losing control? Never thought that love could feel like this, and you change my life with just one kiss? How can this be, that right here with me, is an angel? It’s a miracle?
Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep. Your soul is like a secret that I never could keep. When I look into your eyes I know that it’s true. God must have spent…a little more time…” they trailed off.

“On you.” Sang a weak voice. MELISSA!
She opened her eyes weakly. “Dave.” She said softly.
“Melissa!” he exclaimed. He started to bend down to kiss her, but stopped, and looked up.
Mr. Bass nodded at him. “It’s okay, son.”
Dave leaned down and kissed Melissa softly on the lips, in front of everyone.
Melissa raised her arms and hugged Dave; she released him and hugged Andrew and Sean. When her father approached her, she looked frightened.
“I’m glad you’re with us.” He said, and left. The others followed him. All that’s left in the room were Dave, Scott, Clint, Bob, Brendan, Andrew and Sean.
“Where’s Alice?” Melissa asked, looking at all of them.
“Alice tried to kill herself with pain killers. She’s in the bed next to you.” Replied Clint.
Melissa turned her head and winced in pain. “Alice.” She said softly. Melissa looked at Dave. “I know how to wake her up. Do they have a TV in here?” she asked.
They moved the in front of Alice’s bed. Dave turned it on and turned to Much Music. Luckily, *N Sync’s ‘Tearin’ up my Heart’ was on.

“It’s tearin’ up my heart, when I’m with you.
But when we are apart, I feel it too.
And no matter what I do I feel the pain, with or without you.”

Alice groaned softly. Melissa grinned. Tearin’ up my Heart annoys Alice so much because the song was played everywhere.
“She’s coming to.” Melissa said. Her head was hurting, so she raised the upper part of her bed to a sitting position, so she could see what was going on.
Alice stirred, and she slowly opened her eyes. “Who turned that song on?”
The others laughed softly.
“Where’s Melissa?” She asked.
“Right next to you, pal.” Melissa said.
“Melissa! What happened?” Alice asked.
“I was climbing off the balcony because my parents were being so unfair. I just wanted to talk to them to tell them that I wanted to be with Dave, but they won’t let me. I wanted to talk to you, or Dave, or ANYONE, but he locked my door and I couldn’t get out. I climbed down half way, slipped and fell.”
They all started to cry. “Our parents are being so unfair. They don’t understand that we love each other.” Alice said, sobbing.

Standing out side of the room, Melissa’s parents and Alice’s parents cried softly. They entered the room, and everyone stopped talking.
Melissa’s parents walked towards Melissa. “Please, forgive us.”
“Please forgive us.” Alice’s parents said.
“No.” they replied.

“The guardian of Melissa Bass and Alice Dale will be Andrew Bass. Brendan Dale and Sean Bass will be living with them. They will now own the Bass’ house. Both the parents of Melissa and Alice will pay a weekly amount of $1 000. Court is adjourned.”

~*~*~

Melissa and Dave walked hand in hand in the forest. They were finally allowed to be together, to be free. They were truly in love.
Alice and Scott were on Melissa’s balcony, looking at the forest below them. Alice rested her head on Scott’s chest and fell asleep.
Brandon, Andrew and Sean trust their sisters and their boyfriends not to do anything drastic.
The sun was setting and the two couples watched the sun set. It was a romantic pinkish purple color…
