~~Melly and Valley~~
"Whatever, Valley. I've made up my mind....I have to stick with it." Melly said trying
not to cry again, "I can't handle all the fans after me. Threatening to hurt me. Nick's fans
are everything to him." "What are you gonna do?" Valley asked worriedly. "I was thinking I'd go home to Jersey for awhile, see my family, and decide whether or not to come back
to Florida." Melly told her friend. "I see...when do you leave?" Valley asked hoping Melly
wouldn't catch on to her plan. "This afternoon...I think 2pm." Melly started to cry again,
"Can you do me a favor, Valley?" "Sure anything for my best friend." Valerie smiled. "Can
you tell Nick that I will always love him...but he should move on with his career and life
without the one thing that was ruining it." "Why don't you tell him yourself?" Valley looked
her friend in her green eyes. "I can't." Melly turned away. "Why not? It's not right to just
run out on him! He is a nervous wreck at home! He needs you. He loves you." Valley loudly but sweetly told her friend. "I know he does...but if I go to see him...I won't be able
to leave." Melly said . "Then don't leave! Please?" Valley pleaded with her friend. "I have
to. I better go pack...and go to my hair appoint..." Melly stopped. "You hair what?" Valley
nervously asked. "Oh nothing. I'll call you from Jersey. Bye." Melly said as she pulled away in a hurry. "Melly! Wait!" Valley pleaded but It was too late. She had to go back to Nick and tell him what she found out from Melly. Melly proceeded to the hair salon to change her
identity. "Just cut to my shoulders and dye it all blonde." Melly ordered the stylist. "Are
you sure Miss Stanford?" the stylist asked, "It's a big change for you." "Yes, I am 100% sure. Let's get on with it...I have a plane to catch in 3 hours." Melly sighed.
~~Nick, Brian and Valley~~
"I hope Valley found her. I think she did, right? She has to come back, right?" Nick
said as he paced his living room. "Nick, calm down. We have to wait and see." Brian
said pushing his friend to the couch when Valerie walked in. "Did you find her?! Is she
coming in?!" Nick jumped from the couch. "I found her, but she's not coming. I'm sorry, Nick." Valerie whispered. "What did she say?" Brian asked. "Well, she is really upset
over all the news coverage and the fans reaction to her now. She doesn't wanna ruin her
career and your life." Valerie told Nick as tears came to his eyes, "She wanted me to tell you that she loves you and you should move on." "I can't move on! I want her and only her! Doesn't she know that...I’d stop everything for her?!" Nick screamed. "She does. She couldn't stop crying they entire time we talked...she even said that if she came to see before she left for home..." Valley was interrupted by Brian. "Home?" Brian asked. "Yeah, she is going back home to Jersey to think things out. She leaves at 2pm." Valerie told them. "No, she's not...I’m going to stop that plane!" Nick yelled. "Nick, the airport is about an 1 hour from here..." Nick interrupted Brian. "And your point is?" Nick stared at him. "We should leave now...in case there is traffic...her flight leaves in 3 hours." Valley said for Brian. The three of them grabbed their belongs and headed to the airport.
~~At the Airport~~
~Melly~
"This is the best thing for everyone." Melly sighed on the ticket line as she flipped her new, blonde hair-do. "Next Please?" The ticket agent yelled. "Hi, Melissa Stanford." She told the women. "Yes, Melissa, one-way ticket to New Jersey. Please sign here." Melissa did as she was told and waited for her ticket to print. "There ya go. It leaves in about 1 hour but boarding will begin in 45 minutes at Gate 53. Enjoy your flight." the ticket agent smiled. "Thank-you. Have a good day." Melly smiled for the first time all day as she proceeded to Gate 53.
~Nick, Brian and Valley~
"How the hell are you gonna find her?!" Valerie yelled, "There are so many different airlines." "Yeah, but only one Melissa. We know exactly what she looks like!" Nick said trying to remain confident. "Oh no..." Valley said. "Oh no, what?!" Brian looked at her. "She was talking about a hair appointment...but then brushed it off." Valley sighed. "Damn, she might her dyed her hair or cut it!" Brian yelled. "Okay, guys, you go find out all the flights that are leaving at 2pm for Jersey and see if a 'Melissa Stanford' is on any of them...I'm gonna go look around for her." Nick said taking off. Brian and Valerie did as Nick asked them to and after about 40 minutes, of negotiating with the ticket agent, they found out what gate she was leaving from. "Hurry and call his cell! She broads the plane in 5 minutes!" Valley yelled at Brian as they ran towards Gate 53. "I am, I am!" Brian yelled back. "What did you find out?!" Nick answered. "Gate 53...go now! She is boarding as we speak! We will meet you there!" Brian spilled out. "Thanks, Bye." Nick said as he ran down the hallway marked Gates 40-53. When he made it there, the ticket agent was closing the door to the plane. "WAIT! I need to get on that plane!" Nick yelled. "Okay, where's your ticket?" the agent asked. "I don't have one! I just need to get on there!" He yelled even louder than before. "I'm sorry sir, without a ticket you can't broad." the agent politely told him. "Please? My life is depending on telling the women I love to stay here." Nick pleaded with the ticket agent. "Sorry." She simply said. "They won't let me on!" Nick screamed as Valley and Brian approached the gate. "Well, we tried." Valley told him. "This the final call for boarding for Flight 535 to New Jersey." The agent said into a microphone away from the door. "I gotta go!" Nick yelled as he made a run for the door. Nick ran passed the ticket agent as she started to yell for security. "Security! illegal trespasser on flight 535." Nick walked around the plane looking for Melissa. He saw a blonde girl, with her back towards him, putting a bag in the overhead compartment. He could tell by her body, that it was Melly, he loved how his body fitted perfectly against hers. But security grabbed him in the middle of his thoughts. "Sir, you must come with us!" They ordered. "Melissa!" He screamed as they dragged him down the aisle. Melly turned around to see Nick being dragged by security. "Nick! What are you doing here?!" She said as Nick broke away from security and came running towards her.
