Melanie's P.O.V

Random songs played through my speakers throughout my whole room. Music is my therapy after all. Don't tell my therapist that though she'll be offended!

Though ironically I was alone something I wasn't allowed to be for long amounts of times. I heard my door creak open "Swettie you alright?" I sighed "could be better pa...." I layed my head against the window not wanting to talk. But I know he won't leave until I'm okay....

He turned off the music as he stood near the stero. "Melanie.... I know I'm not your real dad but I'm here to talk if you need to...." I heard his footsteps turning to leave. "Was it always hard?" I whispered out his footsteps stopped.

"What was?" I sniffled "trusting people, opening up..... Falling in love...?" I mumbled out "oh honey...." I heard him walk closer and feel him wrap his arms around me.

"I don't know anymore, I feel so alone.... I miss my old life things were simpler back in Reno...." He held me closer to him. "Honey why haven't you said you've felt this wa before, were here for you and the past there's a lot of things you can't change you just have too look towards the present-"

"And make it more memorable then the past.... dad would always say that....do you ever think off what if...?" I stopped and lowered my head. He simply squeezed me tighter in his arms.

"If I stayed with your father after high-school.... I don't know maybe gotten married and adopted in the future...... but I have no regrets really though as I now have you guys here with me.... a piece of him with me which is you....." He kissed the top of my head.

"Now tell me who broke your heart?" I sighed "I think I did that instead.... we were together in a way but I became afraid-" "if it would end up like with Abby?" I nodded my head.

"It's okay to be afraid and for love there's a lot of risks.... you just have to push through to the end..... don't live in fear my daughter..." He kisses my forehead and stands up. "How about we head for ice cream and shopping with Oliver?" I smile softly.

"Sonds like fun..."

"Oliver! Get down from the tree!" "Your not the boss of me! It's a free country!" He yelled as he sat in a tree while I stomped my foot on the ground. Dad went to get the ice cream and left me in charge of Oliver which is going great.

"I'm serious Oliver get down! Your gonna hurt yourself!" I yelled my patience running low. "No! You already hurt me! B-bish!" I gasped, this kid didn't not! Wait!?

"One don't cuss at me little boy! And second what do you mean I hurt you?" He pouts and tried glaring at me. "You hurt August and Calum doesn't want to hang out withbne anymore! Cause he don't wanna see you! Since it's all your fault!" He crosses his arms and I simply sigh. Since when have things gotten so complicated?

"Olly I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to happen! C-can you please just get down the tree.... please?" I whispered the last part out softly. "If you make up with August I will!" I sigh.

"Fine! I promise!" "On your snakes life" I raised a brow I love my snake Patricia! He raised a brow getting impatient. "Fine! On my snakes life!" He nodded his head and climbed down while I watched him carefully. Once he was on the ground I lifted well tried lifting him I'm a hug.

"Sis people are staring...." "shh that's for another reason Olly....." He laughed but soon frowned at me again. "I'm still upset..... I thought you and August had something! You seemed to like him a lot!" I gave him a confused look.

"What made you think that?" He crossed his arms "girl please you always talked about him and the look you had when you saw him I've seen it before!" He nodded and looked at me all sassy. "Boy you are 9! How do you know?" He shrugged "I've advanced faster then you!" What the....?

"Whatever you say kid....." He smiled confidently and all I could do was also smile just a bit. Though I have to wonder is it the best choice to see him again? I promises Oliver..... I don't think I can face him.... because I've fallen to deep without realizing it....
