Melody's POV
A few minutes after Mikey left the room Alicia entered and took a seat on the bed next to me.
"Hey." I murmured.
"Are you okay?"
I exhaled heavily. "Truthfully?"
"Yeah."
"Not really."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Yes. I...I want to tell you everything but I need something from you first."
"What?"
"I need your word that everything I tell you stays here. No one can know about what I am going to share with you."
"You have my word, Melody."
"Well, where do I start?"
"How about from the beginning?"
I ran through the many painful memories in my head before letting out a shaky sigh and meeting Alicia's eyes. She smiled at me, it was warm and reassuring and made me feel slightly more relaxed.
"Okay. It all started a little over five months ago when I received a pair of concert tickets and a pair of backstage passes to see My Chemical Romance. I was so excited. Not only would I get to see my favorite band in concert but I would also get to meet them after the show. It was like a dream come true." She nodded knowingly.
"The concert was amazing. It was better than I could have ever imagined but actually meeting the guys was phenomenal. They were all so nice and welcoming, especially Frank. Frank was so easy to talk to and we were getting along so well. We basically were sat around their dressing room just talking and drinking the occasional beer. That was my first mistake. I lied to them but mostly Frank. When he had offered me a beer I had lied and said I was twenty-one. I knew it was wrong but I did it anyway. Everything felt so surreal and I didn't want to miss anything. After a few beers I was buzzed but I was having so much fun. Then, Frank offered me a tour of their bus and of course, I accepted. Who wouldn't?"
"Only a crazy person." She chuckled, causing me to smile.
"We continued to talk as we made our way to the bus. It was a great feeling finding out how much we had in common. It was like we had been friends all along or at least that's how it felt to me. The next thing I knew my back was colliding with the cold steel of the bus and Frank's lips were on mine. I was shocked at first but it felt so good and I couldn't stop him. Truthfully, I didn't want to stop him. It becomes slightly blurry after that and I can only remember bits and pieces of the rest of the night. One moment we were outside of the bus and the next we were in his bunk and we were both naked. It was....." I trailed off as a single tear slipped from my eye. I quickly wiped it away. "S-Sorry."
"It's okay, Mel. Don't make yourself rush just tell me at your own pace, okay?"
I nodded shakily and sucked in an unsteady breath before continuing.
"It was....painful. It definitely was not what I expected. Not only had I lied to Frank about my age that night but I failed to inform him that.....that I....that he was.....Alicia, I was a v-virgin."
Alicia gasped. "Oh Mel, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how traumatic that was."
"It's okay. It was my own fault. I should have said something to him or stopped him but I didn't. I don't really remember much after that. It's just glimpses of pain and Frank shifting above me. The next morning I woke up disoriented. I was naked and sore and I couldn't remember where I was. At least not until I properly took in my surroundings. It all came crashing back on me at once. I was terrified and ashamed. Not only had I lied and had a one night stand but I had also cheated on my boyfriend. I was confused and I was all alone. I cried. I felt so stupid and dirty. I was so mad though not at Frank but at myself."
"It's okay, Mel. We've all done things we regret."
"I know." I nodded. "I wasn't aware anyone had heard me but apparently Mikey had. He thought I was Frank so you can imagine his surprise when he opened the curtain and found me. He was so nice to me and he even found my clothes for me and tried to comfort me. I admitted to Mikey that I had lied. I told him I wasn't twenty-one. I told him....Alicia I....I'm only s-seventeen."
"I....Mel, you poor thing. No wonder you were so upset."
I glanced up to see the concern in her eyes and I frowned.
"You're not mad at me?"
"Of course not. I told you, we have all made bad choices at some point in our lives." I nodded.
"Mikey left me in the bunk so he could confront Frank. He told him the truth. Frank was mad and rightfully so but he wasn't a dick to me about it, at least not then. It was honestly one of the most awkward situations I had ever been in. He tried to talk to me about it but I shook him off and left. My cousin, Benji, who had attended the concert with me, knew something was wrong and he made me tell me. He helped me through it and I was never more grateful for him than at that moment in time. " I paused to take in a deep breath.
"Once I got home things were awkward between my boyfriend, Greyson, and I but I didn't tell him what I had done. I couldn't tell him. I was too ashamed. It wasn't until a month or so later that I owned up to my mistake. I had no choice. I found out I was pregnant and it obviously wasn't his because we had never had sex. I told my sister, Alyson, the truth but I refused to tell Greyson. I knew if I did he would make trouble for the guys and that's the last thing I wanted. Of course, it was over between Greyson and I but that was the least of my worries."
I paused to take in another deep breath as I thought about the next set of scenarios in my head.
"I was lost and confused. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to ruin Frank's life or the band. Benji wanted to track Frank down and tell him but I wasn't so sure it was a good idea. Benji and Zac disagreed so one day, behind my back, they tracked the guys down. It was the last night of their tour and Benji and Zac waited until they came back to the bus. They confronted Frank. Frank, obviously, wasn't happy and he didn't believe them. I'm sure you can imagine my surprise the next day when I came face to face with Mikey, Frank, and Gerard for the first time in over a month. I was so embarrassed because of the situation because now they all knew the truth and it terrified me. They were still so nice to me even though I had lied, well, all of them except Frank. In the beginning Frank was a total dick about the whole situation. It wasn't until after we had a paternity test done did he apologize and we became friends. Mikey, he was the nicest to me. He....I-I....oh god, you are going to hate me."
Alicia placed a hand on my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I won't hate you."
"Mikey and I, we....were together. We weren't together long but we were."
"What happened? I mean you two are still friends so it couldn't have been too bad of a split, right?"
"Actually, it was brutal. The only people that knew we were together was Frank and Chris and of course, Benji and Zac. Gerard was left in the dark because we knew he would react badly and we were right. Gerard happened to find us in a comprising position and he went ballistic. They fought and there was an accident. Luckily, even though I took a hard hit to my abdomen, the baby was unharmed. After the accident I decided it would be better to break it off. Mikey was upset. He refused to talk to anyone. He shut everyone out and stayed locked up in his room. Eventually, he got over it and we all made up."
"So, how are things now?"
"Much better. As far as anyone is concerned, I am Melody Green, Chris' younger sister and I am eighteen. Gerard and Frank home-school me during the week and everything is okay."
"What about your family? Do they know about Frank and the baby?"
"Yes but they are less than pleased. My parents have basically written me off, I suppose. My sister, Aly, and her boyfriend, Ryan have been supportive. Benji and Zac have been great through all of this, too."
"You've had it rough, kid."
"It's not so bad. It could be worse."
"What about tonight? What happened with Frank?"
"I...uh...he...he's with someone else tonight."
Alicia sighed. "I'm sorry, Mel."
"It's okay. It's his life and as long as he's happy then I will do my best to be happy for him. So, you really aren't mad about anything I told you?"
"No. I told you, we all make mistakes in our lives and we just have to move past them and learn from them."
"Thanks Alicia, it feels so good to get this off of my chest."
"I'm glad I could help even if by just listening."
"It helped more than you know." I mumbled through a yawn.
"You tired?"
"Yeah, You?"
"Yeah, I could use some sleep."
"You are more than welcome to take Frank's side of the bed tonight."
"Thanks Mel."
"No problem. There are pajamas in the third drawer on the left, help yourself."
Once Alicia had changed she crawled into bed and we both drifted off into a deep slumber.
I know this one is long and sucks but I am going to update again today. Hopefully, that will make up for this suckish chapter.
