Melody came in and seeing her family surprised her that you would have thought it was a statue room. For a few minutes everyone was quiet until Melody said "uh hello." Melody's grandma said "Hello dearie. Have you been sweetie?" "Fine. Not to be rude but what's going on?" "We thought that you and the family could talk a little." "We?!" "Gary and I." "Oh... Uncle Ronnie, father it's nice to see you guys. Have you been?" Uncle Ronnie walked a little closer and said "I've been doing alright, as for your father he's fine, we keep in contact... I think my sister, your mothers would probably love to seen us all together." Melody's father was still quiet keeping his stony emotionless face, eyes at the door. "Well it was nice seeing all of you but I'm afraid if Gary and I don't hit the road now dinner might be late." "Stay safe and watch the roads you two." "Okay grandma, grandpa. Uncle Ronnie, dad." Uncle Ronnie nodded saying " be safe." "See you around Emily." Gary and Melody grabbed their bags, "bye everyone." They both stopped at the front desk to say their thanks and fare-wells to Mrs. Carter.
The ride home was nearly quiet until Gary said "so your family-" and was immediately cut off. "You and Emily had no right to do that; if we wanted to see and talk to each other it would have already happened!" "It wasn't all of Emily's fault. I was the one who asked her to help me do this."
By the time Melody and Gary got home everyone was outside waiting for them. "Hey guys." "So-" "Tony, guys sorry but lets order food tonight I don't feel like cooking." "Uh ok. It's fine you're probably tired from driving." "Yeah; thanks." The very moment everyone finished eating and cleaning up Melody went up to her room. Gary and the others talked about what happened and while they were talking Melody was on the cell with Lauren, then Officer Brown. Early the next day Melody had a suitcase, a bag of her things and drove off to Lauren's and Paul's house.
Sometime later the tiger boys woke up to see that Melody wasn't in the kitchen nor in her room, and the car was gone. At first they thought that Melody went shopping, but a phone call from Paul telling them that Melody is at his house with a bag and suitcase made them wonder why and worried. The tiger boys went over but Melody locked herself in Lauren's room. A few hours later behind a locked door Melody said "I want to be alone, please leave." They indeed left but came back in the afternoon and the next couple days to only hear the same response.
One day instead of all the tiger boys coming together Melody got a text from Tony asking if something was wrong or if they hurt her somehow. Before Melody could reply Gary was outside Lauren's locked door again asking "what's wrong?" "Just leave me alone; I don't want see or speak to you!" After saying that Melody sent a text to Tony telling him that she wants to think and that she wanted him to come get Gary. About thirty minutes later Tony came to get Gary but before leaving with Tony Gary asked what was wrong one last time that day. Behind the locked door Melody finally answered "you and Emily set my family and I in an awkward situation one that I'm sure the tiger boys know about by now. You didn't think or care about their feelings or my own." "I just thought you wanted your family back or that they might-" "Did you ever consider instead of trying to help us you hurt us instead. Leave, go home with Tony!" "But I-" "Leave!!" Gary and Tony left, Lauren and Paul watched the car pull out of the driveway, standing there for a moment recalling everything. Lauren went upstairs to the locked door and knocked. "Melody it's me, they're gone." Melody unlocked the door and started apologizing to Lauren for all the trouble.
Back at the tiger boys' house they all were mad and arguing with Gary since it was his fault that Melody left. Early the next day Gary left to buy some chocolates and went over to Paul's and Lauren's house. Paul of course let Gary in even though Lauren was against it; Lauren did admit she wanted Melody and Gary to make up nut also understood Melody. Once again Melody said 'leave' Gary left but stayed on the property sitting under Lauren's window holding the chocolates.
Melody unlocked the door, Lauren and Paul came in, "he's persistent" said Paul. "I know. Melody I think he's-" "Don't say it. Look I really just want to think about some things and be alone, that's why I came here." "Are we bothering you?" "No Lauren. I'm still thinking on somethings." The doorbell rung everyone went downstairs to open the door. "Officer Brown is something a matter?" "I'm here on official business. Someone reported a male trespassing. May I look around?" Lauren said "of course." "No one trespassing" said Paul. Officer Brown went through the house to the outside finding Gary sitting down holding the chocolates looking up at the window. "Mr. Andrews what are you doing back here?' "Waiting for Melody. So what are you up to?" "Business. Mr. Andrews-" "Business?" "You have to come with me to the station." "What! Why?" "From what I heard you're trespassing and from what you said maybe even stalking." "Wait we knew he was-" "Sorry Paul but I have to." Melody came out "Melody! Tell Officer Brown-" "Miss. Gardner this fella won't bother you now." "Thank you Officer Brown." "You did this didn't you?" Asked both Paul and Gary. Officer Brown handcuffed and took Gary away while Melody went back upstairs followed by Lauren and Paul. "You're crazy; you just had a friend taken away. And for what!?" "Hold on lets... where are you going?" "I'm going down to the station!." "I did it so I could think without him being here knocking and disturbing me." "Just for peace and quiet!"
