*Melody Fender is in her green Ford Focus, driving towards the local club she has a show at, in place of her sister. Her Iphone is in its holder, plugged into the radio, playing "Only Prettier" by her sister when it starts to play "Heart Like Mine" she reaches over and presses "Accept" and puts the phone on speaker.*
Melody Fender: Hey sis. How you feeling?
Alexia Fender: Good. I haven't woken up at 4 in the afternoon in a long time. Its nice.
Melody Fender: God I miss doing that.. But these Sirens man.. Their serious.
*Alexia laughs, and Melody smiles, having not heard that from Alexia in a long time.*
Alexia Fender: I told you. But its for your own good.. You'll thank them soon, Trust me. Hey... How are they doing?
Melody Fender: Their good, Aly's son is SO adorable.. Katie still hates men.. and Jessie is so focused on the wedding. They miss you though.
Alexia Fender: I miss them too.. Its weird not hearing them arguing all the time.. But I'll be back for the wedding.. Its not THAT far away.. But hey.. I have to go okay? I love you sis!!
*Before Melody has a chance to answer, the line goes dead. She sighs and presses play on the music again, and continues driving*
*Melody stands on stage, almost done with her set for the night. She sees Gabe Shelley sitting at the bar and raises an eyebrow, before talking into the mic*
Melody Fender: I just wanna thank all of you for still coming tonight.. I know my sister is the bigger name of the family, But I really appreciate you guys giving me a chance.. This is my last song for the night.
*Melody smiles and takes her mic off the stand as her band starts playing "Who Wll I Be?"*
Melody Fender:
Whoa,
yeah yeah yeah yeah
How to choose
Who to be
Well let's see
There's so many choices now.
Play guitar, be a movie star.
In my head, a voice says
Why not
try everything?
Why stop?
Reach for any dream
I can rock,
cause it's my life
And now's the time
Who will I be?
It's up to me
All the never ending possibilities
That I can see
There's nothing that I can't do
Who will I be?
Yes, I believe
I get to make the future what I want to
If I can become anyone and know the choice is up to me
Who will I be?
Yeah

If I decide,
I'm the girl to change the world
I can do it any time.
Opportunity
right in front of me
And the choice is all mine
Why not

Why stop?

I can rock,
cause it's my life.
And now's the time

Woah,

Who will I be!?
*the crowd cheers and Melody smiles, before bowing and walking of stage, and hugging her fellow Sirens*
*Melody walks out of the back of the the club and towards the bar. She walks up next to Gabe and leans on the bar, but doesn't look at him*
Melody Fender: Enjoy the show?
*There is a drink in his hand as Gabe faces the bar, head down. He nods and takes a sip out of his glass and turns his head toward her.*
Gabe Shelley: Sure did...
*She looks over at him and raises an eyebrow*
Melody Fender: You look like shit
Gabe Shelley: So it's apparant huh?
*He chuckles and shakes his glass for another drink, the bartender filling up his glass.*
Melody Fender: Wheres the "girlfriend"?
Gabe Shelley: What girlfriend?
*He faces the bar again and looks up to the bottles, his head shaking.*
Melody Fender: That Holier Than Thou Natalie whore
Gabe Shelley: You're guess is as good as mine...
Melody Fender: Riiiight... Like you have no idea.
*He downs the rest of his drink and shoots her a look.*
Gabe Shelley: Melody, I don't know where she is.
Melody Fender: Well shouldn't you be with her.. instead of sitting here moping about your long lost love and talking to her sister?
Gabe Shelley: I'm exactly where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to be doing.
Melody Fender: You WANT to be sitting here moping?
Gabe Shelley: Is that what this is?
Melody Fender: No.. Pathetic is what it is... Cause guess what... This could have been avoided, and you could have EXACTLY what you want right now.
Gabe Shelley: I don't know what it is I want anymore.
Melody Fender: Of course not..
Gabe Shelley: What do you want me to say?
Melody Fender: I want to know.. WHY you're sitting here.. instead of with NAtalie... Why did you come to my show?
Gabe Shelley: Because I wanted to come and see it, I was hoping...
*He stops and drinks, not wanting to finish.*
Melody Fender: Hoping what?
Gabe Shelley: .... Nothing
Melody Fender: fine.. goodbye..
*Melody starts to get up, He turns and grabs her arm gently*
Gabe Shelley: Why isn't your sister here?
*She looks at him and faces him*
Melody Fender: Why wasn;t she on Animosity? Shes home..
Gabe Shelley: .. oh.. So that's why she didn't sing tonight...
Melody Fender: Apparently you didn;t give a shit enough to realize shes been gone over a week.
Gabe Shelley: If I didn't give a shit, you think I would have come tonight?
Melody Fender: And this is the first time you noticed she was gone!
Gabe Shelley: No, this is the first time I've talked to any of you to ask.
Melody Fender: Theres a shock
Gabe Shelley: What is?
Melody Fender: The fact you haven't bothered to talk to any of us...
*He leans over the bar and asks the bartender for two shots.*
Gabe Shelley: Melody, I'm sorry ok? I've already been through all of this and I know what you're thinking.
*The bartender puts down the two shots and Gabe slides her one and lifts his glass for a toast.*
Gabe Shelley: To failure.
*She grabs the shot and downs it. She looks over at him and shakes her head*
Melody Fender: She HAD to go home you know..
Gabe Shelley: Why's that?
Melody Fender: You..
Gabe Shelley: Yeah...
Melody Fender: She couldnt stand seeing you with Natalie at the arena...
Gabe Shelley: I'm sorry...
Melody Fender: As you should be..
Gabe Shelley: Maybe I deserve all of this, maybe this is how it was supposed to be.
Melody Fender: I don;t believe that... and not for your sake.. For Alexia's... She doesn't deserve to be misserable while that... Fake trash gets to be happy
Gabe Shelley: Let's just say she saw what happened last week and wasn't too happy, nor should she. I'm stuck in the middle of new and old feelings and I can't sort them out. Maybe I'm the one who should leave, Melody.
Melody Fender: Do you love them both...?
*He stares into the bottom of the glass as he sips it down. He slowly puts the glass down and turns back to Melody.*
Gabe Shelley: I don't know.
*She looks at him and down on the stool slowly*
Melody Fender: Ouch... Well.. That's gonna suck to tell her..
Gabe Shelley: I never said that I didn't know I love Alexia...
Melody Fender: You can't be inlove with two people Gabe... Well you need to decide.. IF you're going to let her let you go... if Alexia is worth that... or if Natlie is worth fighting for, and letting Alexia go... and lay off the alcohol..
Gabe Shelley: I have my motercycle out front, I'm all set.
Melody Fender: Umm No? Give me your keys
Gabe Shelley: Umm, no?
*He finishes off his drink and nods to her. She walks over to him and holds out her hand*
Melody Fender: Give them to me.
Gabe Shelley: I'm just fine, no need to worry.
Melody Fender: Fine.. drive home you big idiot..
*Melody turns and walks away from Gabe to the back room where Jessica is almost ready to leave. Melody opens her mouth to say something and pulls out her cell.*
Melody Fender: Hey Lex.. Good timing.. Your idiot Ex-Boyfriend is about to drive his motorcycle home drunk
Alexia Fender: What? Mel go stop him!
Melody Fender: I tried! He wouldn't give me his keys.. Plus what do you care?
Alexia Fender: Mel.. Please...
*Melody rolls her eyes and walks out to the bar. She sees Gabe is gone and walks outside to the parking lot. She sees Gabe sitting on his bike then walks over and grabs the keys from the ignition. He pulls out his wallet and starts to shift though it, looking for his spare. She grabs the wallet and holds the phone out to him*
Gabe Shelley: Yeah?
Alexia Fender: ...Gabe...?
Gabe Shelley: ... Yeah?
Alexia Fender: What are you doing?
Gabe Shelley: I'm just finishing a night out on the town, caught your sister's show...
Alexia Fender: Did she take your keys?
Gabe Shelley: Alexia... I just want to go home..
Alexia Fender: And Melody will bring you.
Gabe Shelley: .. fine.
Alexia Fender: Thank you..
Gabe Shelley: You're welcome.
*A short pause is heard and it sounds like a sob comes through the phone*
Alexia Fender: goodbye Gabe..
Gabe Shelley: Alexia...
*The call ends and Melody bites her lip. He sighs and hands Melody her phone, looking at her. There is sadness in his eyes and he pulls himself off his bike. She starts walking to her car, him following but stops and turns, causing him to bang into her and step on her foot*
Gabe Shelley: You ok?
Melody Fender: Yeah... What were you gonna say to her..?
Gabe Shelley: I don't even know.
Melody Fender: oooookay..
Gabe Shelley: Maybe something like... not to give up. That I was sorry, that she was right.
*He smiles at Melody.*
Gabe Shelley: You sure you're ok?
*She looks at him and nods slowly*
Melody Fender: Yeah..
Gabe Shelley: You're as easy to read as your sister, what is it?
Melody Fender: Just trying to figure out what it is you want with her...
Gabe Shelley: Why?
Melody Fender: Beause I don;t want to see her hurt
Gabe Shelley: I promise you... I'm not going to do anything to hurt her again...
*She looks at him and nods once*
Melody Fender: comeon..
*She opens the drivers door and looks at him over the car*
Melody Fender: ...Do you love her?
Gabe Shelley: I never said I didn't.
*He climbs into the passenger side of the car and clicks the seatbelt, looking at Melody and nodding off to sleep. Melody gets into the car and looks at Gabe. She sighs and shakes her head, starting the car*
Melody Fender: she loves you too buddy...
*Melody pulls out of the parking lot, heading towards Gabe's house.*
