Melody's POV:When Asher had made me listen to his new songs, I had fallen in love with him. All over again."Can I point out how much talented you actually are?" I asked, taking off the headphones he had given me earlier. Turning around in the chair, I faced him. He was sitting on the grey couch at the corner of the room, waiting for my reaction."Really?"I narrowed my eyes at him."Are you serious? How can you not have any confidence in this?" I asked pointing off to the large screen.He leaned back on the couch with a shrug."I was thinking of not releasing that one." He pointed off to the song I was just listening. The song that made me fall in love with him. Again.My eyes widened at that."I swear to God, I'm not letting you make the biggest mistake of your life." I said.I saw some of his nervousness draining away as a smile twitched on his lips."Biggest mistake?"I turned around before looking at the screen all over again."I'm sorry, Asher, but I'll have to break up with yo
Melody's POV:When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in that same alley. Or that same street. I didn't have any idea where I was. Except that I was in a car. And the car was driving off to somewhere.It took me minutes before my view adjusted over to the speeding car. Blinking for a while, I straightened up and looked to my left."Cameron?" I heard my voice breaking out the silence.Realization hit me like ice cold water."Didn't think you'd wake up this soon." He muttered before changing the gear and speeding the car.I had to grip my seat from falling over. Looking over at him, I realized how he was the same as I'd last seen him. But then again, he wasn't. Something was different.This wasn't the Cameron who gave me a ride from that disastrous party."What...what are you doing?" I asked, gulping my sudden fear.My head still ached a bit.I saw him give me a glance before back at the road. Both the sides of the road were covered with trees. The night wasn't helping either."I'm finishing it
Melody's POV:"I think that's...more than enough." I said eyeing the amount of flour."No no no. I think it needs more of it." Lana picked up the pack of flour and started adding it in the dough. Which looked a bit rough.I took it from her before it completely fell in the bowl. Not getting the clue that it was a lot, she still stuffed her tiny hands in the dough."Why is it so hard?" She asked before stumbling back at the stool she was standing on. Thankfully, I caught her right in time. But the bad thing was that I kind of lost my footing."Woah-" Asher was right in time to stop me from falling. "-I thought you guys were baking cookies?"Lana straightened up and hopped back on the stool. No wonder she was excited."We were." I poked a finger at the dough. "But someone added a lot of flour."Asher pulled me against him and chuckled."Aw, I thought I was good at baking!" Lana complained with a pout before wrapping her arms around my neck. I wasn't surprised how she liked hugs just like
Melody's POV:I shrinked back against the metal door.He won't find me here. He'll think I went away. He will forget it. He will go back.All I could hear in this crappy basement was the sound of my heartbeat ringing in my ears and the sound of my rushed breathing.I closed my eyes wrapping my arms tightly around my knees. I had been in this situation many times, but I was still scared. Just like always.One minute passed.Then two...Then thr-"You think you can hide here?" He shouted from the door.I was starting to think he won't come, but once again I was wrong. He did find me.I froze at my position hoping he wouldn't see me behind the door. His footsteps echoed as he moved forward making my heart almost leap out of my chest. When his footsteps stopped, a feather of hope danced inside me.I slowly opened my eyes hoping he went away, only to see him right in front of me with an evil smirk. The smirk that always scared me. It'll always scare me.I stood up with my weak legs as fast
Melody's POV:I am going to runaway."Melody! You bitch. I told you to wash these plates!" Alyssa shrieked from downstairs.I shut my eyes, covering my ears with my hands.She screamed a bit more, but then stopped. I think she got tired shouting so much and getting no response.Alyssa is my step sister. My mother married my step dad when Dad left her. No, actually she left him. I was so broken by the divorce that I just chose to live with Mom.And I guess that was my biggest mistake. She was mostly out of city or country as she was always working on her clothing boutique. That left me with my step dad, Jordan, and stepsister, Alyssa.I used to have fun in my life. I thought Alyssa would be cool as I never had a sister. I thought we would have fun, laugh, maybe braid each other's hair. Be best friends. But she wasn't a sister. She made my life a living hell. Made me wash clothes, dishes, cook and everything a maid would do.You must be thinking why I even agree? I agree because I have
Melody's POV:I looked at Asher with my mouth slightly opened and wide eyes. While he just stared back at me, not even denying what he just said."You meant that as a joke." I said, finding back my tongue.It wasn't a question. Because even if he meant that, I wanted him to know that it will never happen. More like a command.I was giving a command."No." He said still staring right into my eyes.His hazel eyes were sparkling which was making me think he said that as a joke. I wasn't in a mood for jokes.After a minute of silence, I thankfully found my voice back."Do you even know what you are saying?" I asked.He nodded."Y-you cannot come with me." I said with a hard voice.His lack of answers was literally freaking me out. He raised one of his brows in confusion.Oof! Why doesn't he look a bit...ugly?"Who says that?" He asked tilting his head.I was literally freaking out deep within me. The thought of him or anybody else with me was not good."I am saying that." I said trying my
Melody's POV:"N-no! Please, don't!" The screams roamed inside my head, making my head dizzy. Swallowing me inside a big dark hole.I felt his hand coming towards me. I closed my eyes out of complete horror.I felt his hand on my arm with a steel grip commanding me to open my eyes. To see what he is about to do.But I can't.I can't.....I opened my eyes with a jerk only to find warm sunlight welcoming me in a comfortable hug.I was in a car. Which was moving.I looked beside me to see a person looking ahead at the road and driving with a grim expression on his face.I rubbed my palms lightly on my eyes noticing the leather jacket around my shoulders. If somebody else would've been in my place, I'm sure they would've freaked out at the moving car and the isolated road.But I knew it was just Asher.I pulled the jacket closer to me as cold morning wind blew on my face.The jacket smells like mint. Do Asher smells like that too?I am really creepy. Why in the world am I thinking ab
Melody's POV:"Why are you looking at your phone like it might grow a nose?" Asher asked looking at me curiously, instead of the road ahead."I am not." I said, still looking at my phone.To be honest, he was actually right. I had been stealing glances at the screen from time to time waiting for a call or message. I was hoping for a call from Mom. Or maybe...Tyler.I mean he called once. Couldn't he call back?Couldn't you call back?I fidgeted with my fingers thinking about it."Okay." He said going back to concentrate on the road.I scrolled through the missed calls again and again.What will my mother do? Will she stop looking for me? Will she give up? Will she ask Jordan? Will she ask Alyssa? Would she believe their lies? What if she believes?"Don't think too hard. It might burst your head." He hummed the words in a tune.I looked at him unbelievably.This guy is extremely crazy...He pursed his lips, not looking at me, controlling his laughter. I took the nearest thing which was
