~~IN THE HOSPITAL~~

   As Nick began to just jump out of the hospital bed, Melissa flipped out. "Be careful, Nicky!" Melissa yelled at him, "You have a broken arm!" "Babe, it's just a slightly sprained arm...I'll be fine. But you’re so cute when you worry about me."  He said as he kissed her cheek. "Well, we better get you home...so you can  rest." Brian told his pal. "Yeah, and Melly can be your little personal nurse."
Valerie smiled at him. "Can she wear one for those cute nurses outfits?" He asked jokingly. "Oh! He's the same 'ole Nick!" Melly laughed. They four of  them headed to the desk where they signed the papers to discharge Nick before heading outside.

~~OUTSIDE~~

   "Melissa! Is it all true that is your fault for the accident?!" One reporter yelled. "Yeah,
are you cheating on Nick with the driver of the other car?" Another one yelled. "No, of course not! I love Nick!" Melissa yelled back. "Did you set up the accident to get back at Nick for a fight you had?" Yet another yelled at her. "No, No! It's all false!" Melissa yelled again. "Leave her alone!" Nick yelled as he pushed through the reporters with Melissa. "Nick! How do you feel about another man after your sweet and precious girlfriend?" A reporter yelled. "I'll told you once, I'll tell you again, leave her the hell alone! She had nothing to do with it!" Nick yelled as he got in the car before Brian drove them out of the flashing cameras.

  ~~AT NICK'S HOUSE~~
    Melissa was still in shock over all the accusations being thrown at her when they
arrived at Nick's house where more reporters where waiting for Melly. "Melissa!
Melissa!" The yelled flashing cameras. "Why are they doing this to me?!" Melly
whispered. "Don't worry, babe." Nick said as he wrapped his good arm around her,
"It's just the press, they want a good front page story, but I won't let them bother you
again." "I'll drive right into the garage." Brian told them. Brian did as he said he would
and then Valley, Brian, Nick, and Melly went into the house. "I'm gonna call security and
get these jerks off the property!" Nick yelled. Valerie and Melly said there watching the TV and of course, the news had to come on again.

  ~~ NEWS REPORT~~
    "An update of a story we reported to you earlier of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's car accident and whether or not his long-time Girlfriend, Melissa Stanford, was to blame.
Well, Nick fans, we are happy to report that Nick is home doing just fine, recouping from
a broken arm. But as for Melissa, just take a look at these photos. Melissa is up-close
and personal on the beach and at the hospital, while her Boyfriend was being checked
by doctors, with the driver of the other car identified as Ethan Dumont. Obviously, Melissa was to blame for Nick's sudden drive Sunday morning."

   "How did they get those photos!?" Valley screamed, "Nick! Brian! Get in here!"
"What?!" They came running from the kitchen. "LOOK!" Valerie pointed to the screen.
"Oh No." Brian sighed. "Maybe their right." Melly said. "Who's right?" Valley asked confused. "The reporters...It is my fault." Melly whispered. "No! We talked about this in hospital! You had nothing to do with it!" Valley snapped at her. "Who had nothing to do with what?" Nick heard Valley said. "Melly thinks it's still her fault" Valley told him.  "Listen to me," Nick cupped her chin, "I love you and I know the truth. Don't let some asshole reporters make you think otherwise, ok?" "Okay." Melly simply said, "I love you
too, so much."

~~THE NEXT DAY~~

   ::DING-DONG:: The doorbell rang at Nick's house. Melly had no choice but to get
it, since Nick has in the shower. ::DING-DONG:: "Damn, hold on, I'm coming!" Melly
yelled before she opened the door. "Can I help you?" Melly asked the two girls at
the door. "It's her." the one girl whispered to the other. "Your Melissa Stanford, right?"
"Ya know, I am really not talking to anymore reporters!" Melly said as she attempt
to close the door, when the girls stopped her. "We are NOT reporters, we're Nick fans, and we want a bitch like you way from Nick before you hurt him again!" "Okay, calm down girls, I had nothing to do with it. The news is lying." Melly told them. "Bullshit! Your a cheatin' little bitch and Nick doesn't deserve you. You're ruining his life!" The one girl yelled. "Yeah, all the fans hate you now!" The other one shouted. "You better get off this property before I call the cops." Melly yelled at them. "Oh, we are so not scared, but you should be, if anything happens to Nick again, you'll be in BIG trouble. We know where you live." The girls threatened Melly before they left quickly. "Maybe they are right?" Melly thought to herself, "Nick doesn't deserve me. I flirted with Ethan on the beach and was with him at the hospital, so they could get pictures, and I decided to sleep when Nick needed me! I'm just ruining his life. I better go....he'll do better with out me." Melly said grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note to Nick. "Dear My Twinkie, As hard as it is for me to do this, I have to leave you.
I am ruining your career but staying here. You deserve someone that will be there for you....and that your fans like. I'm sorry. I'll miss you. I Love you. -Your Powder Puff "

   After placing that note of the coffee table, Melly grabbed her purse and left. She cried
all the way to her car. It was the hardest thing she ever had to do.
