Asher's POV:The rain turned into a violent storm in minutes. Which was bad since now we were trapped here with trees all around and us in the car, which had decided to stop midway.And now we were literally out here between I don't know where."Oh God. How will we get back?" Melody whispered.I glanced sideways at her. Once again I felt my eyes just staying at her. She was so real. Like the same Melody I loved putting my arms around. The same Melody I loved to kiss.How could she just forget it all?It should've been too hard to accept it or the thing about her flashbacks. But the way panic had edged in her eyes when she had told me about it was not hard to believe.She turned her focus towards me and I looked away."We are trapped." She said.I looked at the road ahead as the night sky made it look more isolated. Opening the door, I glanced at her one more time."No, we're not. I'll check what's wrong." I reassured her.She nodded but the worried lines were still visible on her fore

Melody's POV:I felt hurt more than I should've. For a second, I had thought Asher would really help me. For a second I had thought he didn't hate me like that day at the beach.But the way he had shut me out. That had hurt.He had left the room leaving me alone here. I felt guilty of ruining the mood. I shouldn't have opened my stupid mouth. But I knew that Asher knew the reason I was in the hospital. He just wouldn't tell me. Knowing that he knew everything about my past increased the growing feeling of curiosity within me.I closed the television and walked up to the window, looking out. The rain was still going on. I had no idea where Asher was. I looked at the dark, stormy night. A branch kept hitting the window producing a knocking sound. I opened the window feeling the sudden rush of cold, damp air hitting my face.The storm hadn't stopped. I took the branch and swept it aside. Closing the window again, I was relieved as the knocking sound disappeared.I turned and leaned my ba

Melody's POV:I woke up, flinching slightly at the bright sunlight entering my eyes. After my vision adjusted a bit, I realized the storm had stopped. It was a beautiful, sunny morning.I brought my hand up to my eyes and rubbed them. Turning my head, I saw Asher sleeping beside me.Oh.We both were sleeping on the floor.My eyes widened a little as I realized that my body was totally flushed against his. One of his arm was underneath my head and the other was around my waist. I exhaled slowly hoping he wouldn't wake up.I didn't want to pull away. Ever. I loved how comforting this was. I looked at his closed eyes. My fingers moved on it's own as they rested softly on his face. I slowly caressed the side of his face. It felt like he wasn't real. Raising my fingertips up to the back of his head, I touched his hair gently.Something tugged within me as if this all had happened before. It must've. I sighed and placed my head on his shoulder hearing his rhythmic heartbeat against mine.A

Melody's POV:"Are you sure it was me, he called?" I asked the office assistant one more time.She looked at me impatiently and nodded with a smile that was supposed to be polite."Okay." I muttered before making me way out.Just as I had came out from the literature class, the office assistant had stopped me in the hallway asking me to come in the office. According to her, Mr Brown wanted me to see him in his office.He's probably going to ask why I wasn't present in the session yesterday.And I will probably lie."Come in, Ms Pierce." I heard his voice just as I stopped in front of the door.Was he waiting for me all along?Maybe he'll call dad in front of me and make sure I didn't skip lessons next time.Whatever it was, I still made my way inside. The room was just like the other day I came here. The shelf lined with books about sciences and psychology. The clear glass desk with the black globe situated in the corner. And right behind it was Mr Brown seated on the plush green chai
Just One Hug Sixty Three
Melody's POV:I jumped in my position when I felt something cold touch my back. Turning around, I glared at Amelia."I was just making sure you didn't loose your sense of touch too." She said narrowing her eyes at me.I lowered my eyes, turning back to the cafeteria's line. I must've got lost in my thoughts again."Is something bothering you?" She asked from behind me.I opened my mouth then shut it close. What guarantee did I have of what my mouth would say? Would she even understand the nightmare I had?"No. I just had little sleep yesterday." I muttered taking a tray.She nodded taking a tray too. When we got seated on one of the cafeteria tables, I took the apple gazing at it."So I heard about the Valentine's Dance the college's having." She said between munching her cookie. "You coming?"I leaned back in my chair, still not taking a bite of my apple. My stomach felt heavy since I woke up. I don't even know if I'll ever have an appetite without looking back at that dream again."
Just One Hug Sixty Four
Melody's POV:Just like I had heard, some people were around the corner of the hallway holding brochures for the Valentine's Dance.But that wasn't what stopped me. It was the thing those girls were talking about."Who knows if Brody takes me to the dance?" The Asian girl gushed.I knew I shouldn't be eavesdropping on their conversation, but I had heard something. I wasn't retreating back until I was sure.The girl next to her with dark red streaks in her hair rolled her eyes, before turning and slamming a poster on the wall. Just like I had imagined, those posters were a mixture of reds and reds.Another reason for me to not attend it. "I heard there are special guests accounted for the Dance." The blonde head said.I cornered against the locker I was hiding behind."Don't even think about it, Angie." The girl who just slammed the poster, said. "I'm going on that dance with him. With Asher Martinez."I knew it!"You are definitely crazy. He's a special guest. Not someone who you can
Just One Hug Sixty Five
Melody's POV:"Grandma!" I rushed forward giving her a big hug.The familiar scent of vanilla enveloped me as she hugged me back."Ah, my sweetpie is here." She said hugging me back.Grandma was my favorite person in the family I had. Of course, I didn't know her. She wasn't even familiar. But the way she had been there with me back at the hospital. Trying to make me feel better each day, I couldn't help but open up towards her."You must be hungry. Come on." She said pulling me alongside her.I laughed as I managed to close the door before getting dragged by her. She was one of the cuddliest and funniest grandmas.I dropped down on the couch looking at her as she brought chocolate chip cookies to me."Where's everyone?" I asked while munching on one cookie."Ah, they have gone to one of Lucy's family wedding." She said caressing my hair."Tristan?""He is in the college. He knew perfectly well, if he came here, I would've dragged him around until he cleaned every bits of his dirty ro
Just One Hug Sixty Six
Melody's POV:I smiled against him feeling something flutter inside me. We stayed like that for a while until I realized I had to go back. I pulled away but not too much, since he didn't let me."I've got to go. There is-" I stopped when I realized that Grandma was already watching us.I didn't even realize when she got out."Grandma." I finished before pulling away in surprise.Asher turned too before a grin formed on his face."Why didn't you tell you got out?" I asked her with a frown.She gave me a pointed smile."Well, who am I to interupt such a cute moment?" She asked.I cleared my throat, signalling her to not do this here. Instead, she kept on smiling."Why don't you two lovebirds come inside before you freeze to death?" She suggested.I closed my eyes, hoping Asher didn't listen."You do not have to go back, do you?" She asked Asher.As I opened my eyes, I saw Asher looking a bit surprised at the situation. I wish grandma would get the clue.I was about to say something when
