Chapter Five
Stars Fade AwayOoohh. I have a song for this chapter: Undone by Haley Reinhart
Oh also I haven't fully written chapter three. So I went back and wrote the rest. So if you'd like you can read it. I think it helps a lot because in chapter four she's already with Conrad in Talia's room.
So Yeah. Sorry.

Talia: Yo Melody. Where were you last night?
Talia: Melody? I didnt see you come back to the party.
Talia: Melody. replyy!!
Talia: Melody?
Talia: melody answer me
Talia: i can see your online
Talia: Melody!
Talia: what happened???
I scoff, like you don't know.
Talia: melody I WILL come to you if you dont reply
I get up from my desk and lock my dorm door. Sliding a chair under knob and checking the time. 8:00am my watch says. Nine 'o' clock is my lecture for Design Class. Fun. Another notification from Skype from Talia pops in the right hand corner of my laptop.
Talia: why aren't you replying??? What did i do?
I ignore the messages, she calls. The annoying Skype call sound fills the room. I groan ending the call. I don't have time for this right now, I key. My figure hovering over the enter button. I press it- immediately she answers.
Talia: but what did i do?
Melody: You know exactly what you did.
Talia is typing . . .
I semi-close the screen sliding off the bed to keep my mind off that topic. I open the patio doors and a gust of English wind blows through my hair and my loose papers on my desk fly across my room. I chuckle lightly, stepping out into England's somewhat summer air.
I hunch over the railing, resting my arms on the cool steel railing. So this is what feeling lonesome feels like.
I stare ahead at the field, flashes of last night appear in my head. Images of him. I close my eyes, shaking my head furiously trying to forget. Get it together.
"I had a dream the other night,
About how we only get one life . . . "I run back inside my room, picking up my phone and checking the caller id.
Talia.
I end the call looking at the time in the process. 8:25. I unlock my phone, she calls again. I end the call, accidentally-somehow-playing a song in the process.
A familiar piano tune plays its way into my mind stopping me from skipping the song.
I'm sorry, I'm really a mess right now
I'm trying my best to get it together somehow
I can't stay this way, locked up in this pain that you left me
I'm unraveling- looking for things that will never beI toss my phone onto my bed, sitting on the edge and picking up my laptop.
Talia: what did he do
Melody: so you knew
She replies after a while. Obviously already thought of what to say if I ask.
