Disclaimer: I got the idea for this story from this soap opera. I forgot the name of it, so don't ask. Anyway, I do not own any of the characters, except Melanie, and any fictional characters. The plot is two thirds mine. [: And if any part of my story is similar to yours, or real life, than it's a complete coincidence. Don't come complaining to me!

Can they save her in time?

-AUTHOR'S NOTE 1/30/08: Warning, the first couple of chapters in this story are really poorly written. Read chapters 7 or above. That's when I got used to using and I put more emotion into my writing. Aka, 7 are the better chapters. I suggest you read them instead of sifting through the trash I wrote in the beginning. If you come across something you don't know about, feel free to go back to the beginning ones then. Just be prepared for some lame writing in them.
But, not to worry. I will be rewriting those bad chapters soon enough. Not so much as the plot, but the horrible writing inside of it.
