Melody p.o.v
I'm at school and it's almost time to go to home again. Than goes the bell and everyone runs out of their class and outside towards home, mom never picks me up of school, she says it's too dangerous for her and we don't live that far from my school. I start walking back home as someone grabs me and pulls me to a car and push me inside and drives away real fast ' no let me go ' i say ' it's alright kid easy, i just wanna talk to you, do you remember me? ' the man says and i look at him ' no i don't ' i say ' hm, i'm Elayh a really good friend of your mother, what's your name? ' Elayh says ' that's a strange name, and mom didn't like you last time ' i say ' she does like me a lot, but she was surprised i showed up again ' Elayh says ' she was?! ' i ask ' yes, mommy and i didn't saw each other in years, so she was real surprised when she saw me last time ' Elayh says ' but you asked her name ' i say ' yeah i did, didn't i?, my mind isn't that good anymore ' Elayh says ' oh, but you can ask me right?, i know mommy's name ' i say ' you do?!, that would be great, can you tell your mommy's name honey? ' Elayh says ' yes i can, but i don't know you and mommy says you're not to be trusted ' i say ' does mommy say that?
