Melody Delaney

I walk into my art room in the building I own many people thought I couldn't make it with my status of not having much money and coming from a low-income family but I showed all of them, I showed them I could make it and now they all look up to me.

I put my apron on I have a meeting so I wouldn't ruin my outfit.

I was feeling sad today maybe because today was my mom's birthday four years since her death wow how time flies.

I normally don't think before I paint I just go off my feelings I never knew why I did that I guess it was because of the trauma I've encountered, I could paint my whole life from birth to now if I wanted to.

I check the time it was almost time for my meeting, I turn the building air on cool rush out lock the building door, and rush to my car I look to see my apron still "shit shit shit" I rip it off me.

I rush to the building.

I rush into the building "Hi I have a meeting here with Nicholas Calypso" The lady nods and gives me the room number I rush to the room.

I slightly open the door to the meeting room they didn't seem to notice me but I noticed them.

I cleared my throat as I sat down at the table all the men stared at me like I'm some kind of thing from another universe "If you all would like to carry on please by all means do so but I have you known I do not have the patience for it" I send them all a curt nod.

One man keeps his eyes on me so I meet his eyes all the men whisper as if I've just committed a crime "So you're the person that would like to buy my artwork" The man nods I pulled out pictures of my artwork handing it to each one them including the intimidating man.

I observed them as they discussed my work but his eye was trained on me.

I look down at my hands ignoring his gaze "Miss Delaney how old are you" I look up from my hand and over at him " 21, but what does that have to do with my work" one of the businessmen leans over to me and whispers "he's apart of something so I wouldn't talk to him like that" I chuckle a little "the man may have a lot of money but he doesn't scare me you're no man if you're scared of him" I lean back in my chair.

The meeting was finally over they all approved of my work so I say this went successful they're holding the auction next month so I will have time to make more paintings.

I was going over to my car that's when I hear footsteps behind me I turn to look and it was some man I didn't recognize him from the meeting "Miss, Miss the boss said he would like to have a word with you"I hear his British accent "are you from London" the man nods "I always wanted to visit there" I can see a smile form on his face "autumn is the best time to visit" — "I will make sure to go in autumn".

I knock on the door of 'the boss' office "Come in" his smooth Italian voice speaks I twist the nob on the door walking into the dimly lit room everything in this room was black or grey I guess he's one of those guys.

I sit down on the cool leather chair in front of his desk I watch as he clasped his hands together I cross my legs "So your manservant said you asked for me" he chuckled a little then nodded "he's not my servant he's works for me" is he's stupid "they're the same thing him working for you is called being a servant" he just shrugs.

I look around the room and back at him "Well why you brought me here" he pulls out my art works which makes me sigh "Look at this one what does this represent" I look at the art on his desk "When I paint I base it off my mood and when I painted that I was sad" I lean back in the chair.

He observes me I just stare into his Grey eyes it was like they were putting me in a trance but it was quickly broken when my phone vibrated it was my boyfriend I walk out of the room for a moment.

I answer the call "Where are you" — "I'm still at the meeting why what's wrong"— "I saw that the meeting has ended and that you walked back into the building" I hate when he gets jealous he's supposed to be at his apartment "I'm outside the building" I walk back into the room and look through his blinds "ok I'm coming out" I tell 'the bossman' I had to leave.

I walk out of the building "Did you seriously have to show up" I was beyond furious "Had to make sure you weren't cheating" How could he think that before I knew it my hand went across his face "You're sick too ever fucking believe that, why would I cheat on you, you know what we're over, I'm tired of your bs and cheating I don't know why I even stay with you, come by tomorrow and get you shit off the road" I storm off to my car.

I pull into my driveway.

I walk into my house flopping down on my couch I turn on the tv strolling through Netflix I decided to turn on Peaky Blinders I lay on the couch completely closing my eyes for a bit.

I wake up to the screen saying are you still watching I turn off Netflix I felt hungry so I went into the kitchen to cook guess I'll be cooking for one now.

I decided to cook burgers I wash my hand as I prep for the burgers when I hear my phone ring I take the gloves off and went over to answer the phone "Hello" there was faint breathing "Whoever this is, the joke isn't funny" I hear laughing and the line goes dead.

I began to panic I run to lock my door and make sure everything in my house is a lock I go to my room and see my window is open I began to panic more I run downstairs to get my phone off the couch but it wasn't there fuckkkk please god don't let me die my career just started fuckk.

I rush to my front door to find it open already.

I couldn't breathe I slid down the wall as I let the panic take over "no.no.no.no help me please help" I hear footsteps which makes me think the worst "Melody you okay" I hear the voice of a male I couldn't quite make out but I couldn't say anything I was speechless.

I feel his hand wrap around me I fight back completely freaked out "Hey it's just me Dan" I run into his arms "Please help me Dan someone's in my house I don't know what to do" I hear my front door close as I'm being sat down on the couch "stay here I'll go check" I tremble as he leaves.

He comes back down "The coast is clear" I was still in shock why would someone do this to me I have done nothing wrong I've been nothing but nice why would anyone hate me I snap out of my daze as I look up at Dan "thank you so much Dan" I hug him "no problem we all have a scare once in a while" I show him out locking my door.

I settled down on my couch as I pull the blankets over me I turn the tv on once again and go to peaky blinders I lay on a pillow as my mind began to relax and the anxiety slips away landing me into a peaceful slumber.

I wake up to the sun shining through my glass door I rise stretching before walking into my kitchen I see all the burger meat was still out so I throw it away wipe my counter and sink to prevent ants.

I do my morning routine and just do everything I did yesterday but without the meeting and ex-boyfriend and break in hopefully.

This is the last end of chapter one

Hope you all enjoyed it
