Just One Hug Fifty Seven
Melody's POV:I had the same dream that night. Again it was horrifying. I woke up in a daze, shaking. I hadn't slept after that."I've been having dreams. Nightmares, actually. I think I should drop the medicines for a while." I told Amelia later in library.She looked at me in sympathy and shook her head."I don't think that would be wise." She said.I knew she would say that. They didn't know how horrifying it felt when I couldn't have escaped those creepy woods. At some point I had thought it wasn't a dream after all.I nodded and stood up, slinging my handbag over my shoulder."You're coming?" I asked her.She again shook her head without looking up at me."I'll come when I'm done with this."She was busy doing her English assignment. I sighed and exited the library into the dark, night sky. Earlier, I had a talk with Dad on the phone. He had been giving excuses for why I should attend my counselling sessions. Thankfully, they will only be on Mondays and Thursdays.I had to agree
Just One Hug Fifty Eight
Melody's POV:I ended up skipping the counselling session. It wasn't my fault after all. Mr Brown ended up ten minutes late. And I didn't have that much time left before I had to meet up with Asher.I had been waiting so long to see him. And getting late wouldn't have helped. I somehow convinced Amelia."What if your Dad asks?" She asked."He won't know." I said before throwing a scarf around my neck."When will you be back?" She asked coming with me to the door.I looked at her not sure what to reply with. I don't know where we'll be going."Night?" I asked.She nodded and opened the door for me."Bye."I left the dormitory towards the gates of the college. Nobody gave me a second glance as I made my way towards the street. Asher had asked me to meet him back at the Grand park.I was just outside the familiar green park when I saw a crowd gathering towards the entrance. I looked at them not sure what this all was about. I looked around for Asher but couldn't find him.As I was about
Just One Hug Fifty Nine
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
Just One Hug Sixty
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
Just One Hug Sixty Two
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
