Just One Hug Seventy One
Melody's POV:"I don't know. It's hard concentrating when there's so much going on." I said glancing at Asher in front me.He zipped and unzipped his burnt orange jacket which in my opinion, looked really good on him. And maybe that's why I was finding my eyes on him every second."Maybe you should focus more on your counselling sessions?" He suggested.I looked away this time."Or maybe you should talk about this?" He looked behind me with a frown. But it disappeared as soon as it came.The café we were sitting in was very less crowded."To the counsellor?""I cannot believe you're actually saying that." I finally looked at him.God, why did he have to look so good?"What? I'm just trying to help." He said defensively.I shook my head."That doesn't even sound like you're trying. You know what it sounds like?"He looked at me in confusion."Like you're trying to get rid of me." I answered.He leaned back on his seat. You know what angered me more? That he didn't even try to deny it.
Just One Hug Seventy Two
Melody's POV:"How can he do that?" Amelia exclaimed.I looked up from my essay papers. The thought that the front door was opened and people were always passing by, was uncomfortable.Anybody could hear us."I don't see a reason why he can't." I replied.Amelia had known something was up the moment I returned from the café. She didn't press on it. Neither did I tell her. But the next morning, she had finally asked me. And I told her. I didn't see a reason why I shouldn't."Maybe he had lost his head or something." She muttered, biting on her nails.I looked at her confused, before moving back to my essay. I needed to submit it by today. Which was hard since a lot of things were circling my head. A lot of questions. A lot of emotions."He loved you, Mel."She genuinely seemed more sadder than me at that point."When I had my memory." I added.I hated how collected I sounded. In reality, I was a mess. I didn't know what to do. I was so lost."But it doesn't end like that." She insisted
Just One Hug Seventy Three
Melody's POV:"You are going on a date." Amelia snatched the book I was reading, from my hands.I was sure, the librarian would come any second asking her to shut her mouth. She was talking way too loudly. Especially gibberish like this."I didn't understand you." I took my book back."I arranged a date for you, Mel." She said with a smile.I looked at her and blinked."Well, it's actually a double date. Oliver's friend coming along." She sat down in front of me. "It's Justin."I kept looking at her."I'm not going on a date with Justin." I said in a low voice, aware of the stare, the librarian was giving us."Why?" She asked.I thought about a valid reason, but nothing came. Justin was probably one of those guys in our college who had everything. Looks, personality and...girls.And I could not."I'm not asking you to actually date him. I'm just trying to divert your mind." She added.I looked at her helplessly."I...can't go on a date." I wanted to tell her how much that thought hur
Just One Hug Seventy Four
Melody's POV:When I reached his studio, which wasn't hard to find through some Google search, he wasn't there."He isn't here?" I asked one of the guards.He looked down at me with a pointed stare."No, ma'am. He isn't." Maybe he was just making that up so I won't go inside. But like, why would he?"Alright." I said backing off and walking the opposite direction.I took out my phone and called Asher for the third time. Why wasn't he answering? Was he really mad at me for that day? Maybe I shouldn't have been so desperate.But to my surprise, he picked up this time."Hello?" "Asher! Why weren't you picking up?" I exclaimed.I saw a lady giving me a stare. "I...didn't know you were calling." He replied.Their was this something in his voice which I couldn't put my finger onto. He didn't sound like the normal Asher."Where are you?" I asked. "Because I know you're not in your studio."I most definitely did not want him to lie to me. Not now, when I really needed to see him."Why do
Just One Hug Seventy Five
Melody's POV:I opened my eyes in surprise. It was definitely more than surprise. I was shocked. His hazel eyes looked back at me.Too close."Wh-" I started but he interrupted me by kissing me again.I could not feel a single thing except his hand on my neck and his arm around my waist. And the way his lips felt against mine. Something tugged inside me, pushing me closer towards him.He pulled apart an inch, looking down at me. I was as speechless as ever. I didn't know what to say or how to react to this. I gulped noticing how tightly my fists were clenched against his shirt. I found my eyes looking back at him again."Asher-""Don't make me change my mind, Mel." He murmured.I blinked feeling my heart race.Was this really happening?"But-" He interrupted me by pulling me in for another kiss.And once again all my breath rushed out of me. I could feel something erupt inside me. I could feel my heart racing. I could feel my face heating up. But, I couldn't help this time. I gave in
Just One Hug Seventy Six
Melody's POV:Lucy and Dad were going back to California today. Which meant leaving me alone in the house. Again."Why do you guys have to go?" I asked for the hundredth time.It wasn't fair that I came here only for weekends and they won't be here. Not even Tristan."Lucy's family event, Mel." Dad repeated patiently, while packing his suitcase."But I come here on weekends only, Dad." I sat down on his bed. "Either it's some sort of Lucy's family wedding or Lucy's family event."I didn't want to sound rude but I didn't want to end up alone here either. Dad looked at me apologetically."I'm sorry, kitten. I wouldn't have gone if it wouldn't have been important." He said.I realized how childish I sounded. Wasn't I the one making him fly from California up here in just a night because I had a concussion? The least I could do is let him enjoy an event peacefully."And we'll be back tomorrow night. That would leave Sunday for us to enjoy." He said with a smile.I sighed and gave him a sm

Melody's POV:Somehow they were asleep."I think that may be the hardest work I've ever done." I whispered, sliding down against the wall in front of Tristan's bed.John had insisted on sleeping here rather than the guest room. I guess he was quite fond of the video game vibes coming from here. Not to forget how messed up this room looked, thanks to Tristan.Asher sat down beside me and picked up a broken CD from the floor. No wonder why John insisted sleeping here."I didn't imagine I would be doing this when I came at your house." He agreed.That's when it hit me. He had came here for a reason. And I didn't know what."Why did you come here, anyways?" I asked."To check up on you. For real."He didn't sound like he was lying."But you didn't come check up on me last three days?" I asked, placing my head on his shoulder.I felt so exhausted. I could probably sleep through an apocalypse right now."I know. I'm sorry for being too busy." He sounded genuine. "There wasn't a second when
Just One Hug Seventy Eight
Melody's POV:"So, like I mentioned." I trailed off, looking at Mr Brown.He raised his eyebrows at me. Probably waiting for me to go on. Surprisingly, he had been the one who got late this time. Stuck with family."And like you said...you'll think about it." I added, not breaking my gaze from him.I was trying my best to give him small clues. Maybe he'll remember what I was getting at.Which he did."I thought about it." He answered."You did?"He nodded."And I think it won't be wise enough to carry out such a measure." He shrugged.My hopeful expression fell into a frown."At least, not without your parent's consent." He added.Which, if he asked, would be a simple refusal from dad. Dad clearly didn't want me to know. And it never helped. I always looked for more. More of my memory."That's not an option." I murmured.Each day I got more curious, more frustrated. A part inside me felt scared of what must've happened before I woke up in the hospital. What was so rough that made them
