Melony's Pov.

Ughh!! This is starting to get ridiculous I mean really. I am not understanding how my mom can ask me to sacrifice my only time off. "Mom I know we need money" I say to my mom.
"Well then its settled you will work tonight," my mom says, "and no more complaining."
I mumble under my breath as I head upstairs to my room. I glance at the clock to check the time as I walk in my room and notice that I only have an hour to get to work.

   I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Melony Knight I live in Amity. I'm a six and my family isn't the best off when it comes to money. We usually live from paycheck to paycheck and sometimes go without food for a few days. We are better off than the lower Caste's but it is still a struggle and honestly I'm nervous about us not making a lot of money.
My father, Mother and I work almost everyday but sometimes I have one maybe two days off a week depending on how long I work during the week and which job I'm working.
I don't go to school because of work the only kids in my family that go to school are my little sister Judy and my little brother Garrett. They are two years apart, with Judy being eleven and Garrett being nine. So its just me, my mom, dad and Judy and Garrett. I know its a pretty boring life not much to know. We are really just your ordinary not so great off family.

   Anyway my mom wants me to work tonight. Which isn't asking much because I already work most other days but I think that I should be allowed one day off considering this would be my only day off this week.
I was looking forward to seeing my boyfriend Max tonight. He is amazing most of the times except sometimes he can be overprotective because he doesn't like any other boys talking to me. I know its not bad because a lot of guys are like that.

   You see no one knows about Max because he is a Seven making him lower than us and we don't think my family will approve of us. A big issue we have is he doesn't want me to have to struggle like he does if we get married which I always tell him that I don't care about that. I know he cares about me but it kind of sucks. It sort of feels like your getting rejected but I guess since we are together I'm not being rejected just protected.

At about two I head towards town to get to work. I work in a cafe as a waitress and then I also work at a local entertainment club singing on the weekends.
After my twenty minute walk I stop in front of the club. I check around the parking lot to see about how many people I'm going to be performing in front of. I count about thirty or more cars so I head toward the employee entrance. I slip in the door and ask Damien, my boss, when I am going to be performing and he shows me the timetable with the performances. I look for my name and see I perform at three o'clock then again at four fifteen and lastly at six thirty. When I'm not performing I fill in as a waitress for extra tips which can be a lot if there is  huge crowd or a little just depends on peoples moods I guess.

   After all my performances and finishing up my tables I collect my tips from my tables and get my paycheck before I clock out of work and head towards the meadow by the lake me and Max always meet there because only we know about it. Its actually where we first met. It wasn't a very romantic meeting either.

    Flashback....
   I was running not paying attention to where I was going when I tripped and fell. I'm pretty sure I twisted my ankle and I think something is broken. I coudn't believe my day just got worse than it already was. After a few minutes of just laying there I heard something or should I say someone asking if I was OK.
     I looked up and saw probably one of the best looking guys I've ever seen. Finally I came out of my haze "Yes I'm fine thank you" I said even though I knew it wasn't true. My ankle and foot are in so much pain. I tried to stand up but without success because I ended up falling towards the ground but I never felt the impact and then I realized that the mystery person had caught me. "Here let me help you up" the mysterious stranger said.
        He helped me up and only then did I realize that I was is in a meadow with a beautiful lake and I couldn't help but look around for a second until I looked back at the guy. "I'm Max, What's your name?" Max asked
        "I'm Melony nice to meet you Max"I said. He helped me take a seat I the meadow surrounding me in beautiful pink and yellow flowers. "So what's a pretty girl like yourself doing out alone in the woods" he asks me looking at me curiously. "Well I kind of just had a very crappy day and I was just upset you know and I thought going for a run would help up until I tripped which ruined my day even more than it already was" I say looking at the surrounding area. That night we ended up sitting in the meadow talking until it started to get dark. It was truly amazing and I was glad I had tripped.

     End of flashback
  
    I just made it to the meadow and now I'm looking for Max since he told me to meet him here at 7. Then I hear noises coming from behind the big oak tree. When I walk around it I see Max making out with another girl and obviously it's not me. He better start running now or else I'm gonna kill him.

I can't help it I walk up to him and yank him away from her then start screaming at Max since he seems in a daze."ARE YOU KIDDING I THOUGHT YOU STOPPED CHEATING GOD WE ARE SO THROUGH. The only reason I was still with him was because he convinced me that he didn't mean too and I thought I was in love with him. But I was obviously wrong because he had promised me he only had eyes for me and that he would never do something like this ever again.

As I'm walking away Max grabs my wrist and spins me around bringing me into a hug which I am quick to squeeze out of. "Wait Mel I can explain it's not what looks like." he says rapidly. I look at him like he's crazy, how does he plan on wiggling his way out of this one because I don't think he realizes how screwed he is."Are you serious because from what it looks like everything is already explained you cheated once again and this is the last time I put up with your bull" I say and as I'm turning around I look back and say "Oh and if I really didn't make myself clear I'm through with your cheating a** okay." Then I turn and walk away trying to keep in my anger. I know all it will take is for me to look back and I know I'll beat the crap out of him.
I guess it wasn't a smart idea to stay with him but now I'm free and I don't really care because I really should have saw this coming anyway. Actually revenge is sounding really good right now but I'm not gonna be that mean. I'm not that low and I'm definetly not going to stoop down to his level. If he wants to play dirty then I'm gonna show him that we really are through and I have no plans to get back together with him.
