chapter one : all hallowed out ❫

MELANIE couldn't sleep that night. She felt too nervous and on edge. Her homework was piling up, her mother and father had been putting on extra pressure since it was time to find a college and the feelings for Tatum had seemed to get unhealthily stronger somehow. She had luckily been able to rant about some of it to Casey before she hung up to watch her movie. But not even that talk could solve her problems.

It's been been almost six years since she realized her feelings for the blonde. Half of it was restricted for the sexual crisis it brought, and 1 for her trying to get over it. At first she had been in denial. Even when listening to the girl's laugh made her cheeks turn red and sent her heart souring, she had put it down as friendship. The eagerness to hold Tatum's hand or hug her was thought of as a close friendship. It wasn't until her and Tatum almost kissed in 6th grade that she realized what all her emotions were.

Although Tatum called it a mistake, Melanie wished it wasn't. She wished they had kissed and held each other. She was envious of Stu. He had the world, he had everything, he had her. But no matter, she would get over this stupid crush, maybe find someone else. With her luck, she'd fall for Sidney next.

"Melanie honey! Please come down!" Wondering what her parents could want at this time, she got up for her desk and left the room, running down the stairs before they complained about 'how slow she was'. Once she was down, she watched her mother hold the phone against her ear with a shocked look while her father rubbed his face in a stressed manner, "What's going on?"

Both of the looked up at the sound of her voice, and her father gently grabbed her shoulder, walking her over next to her mom. When Mel looked into her mother's eyes, they were red and puffy. She had been crying; her father spoke up "I think you should hear this yourself honey" and Melanie gently took the phone "Hello?"

A grunt voice spoke up, it must've been the sheriff, "Hello? Is this Melanie McKenzie?" "Yeah, you've got the right girl" "I've got some unfortunate news for you sweetheart"

What could it possible be to make the sheriff wanna talk to her personally?

"Your friend Casey Becker had unfortunately been found and reported dead" Oh.
