An Ordinary Girl

Blush

Melody's POV

Derrick looked at me concerned and whispered, "What, who is it?"

I heard through the walls, "You really thought I died Chase? I just dyed my hair brown and changed my name. I wanted nothing to do with you. You didn't love me, you thought you did. You don't deserve love. Trent and I were in love. You were messing that up! After what you did, you will never love and when you do. We will take it away."

What did Chase do?

I heard her cruelly laugh and Derrick repeat to ask me what is going on.

"Felicity is Karen." I looked at him as he had a confused expression.

I told him a part of the story where Trent was my ex and Karen was the girl he cheated on me with. Derrick angrily huffed but once we faintly heard the front door shut, we knew that they all left. I bolted straight on my feet and went into the next room to see Chase on the ground. I ran over to him and saw that he had two bruises on his face. His eyes were closed and I shouted out to Derrick. Chase groaned and opened his eyes.

"Melody? You have to leave." Chase said sitting up but then laying back down.

"No, what happened?" I asked checking for any more injuries.

"They just beat me up a little, nothing I can't handle. You and your friends are staying with Brock for a while." Chase stated looking me dead in the eyes.

"No, Chase I meant what did you do to Karen to make her do this to you?" I said, after he heard Karen he shot straight up.

"Who is Karen?" He questioned.

"Uh... Derrick?" I glanced at Derrick who was now helping Chase get up.

"Karen is Felicity." Derrick explained.

Chase's eyes widened and he looked at me, his expression turned dark, "I am going to kill him."

"No, Chase it is fine. I don't care." I said feigning a fake 'it is okay' expression.

"It isn't Melody. Did you bring your phone?" He kindly said.

"No, but Derrick did."

Derrick handed Chase his phone unlocked and then Chase gradually handed it to me, "Call one of your friends."

I nodded and punched in Alisha's number knowing that she will have her phone on her. After two rings she picked up, they sounded like they were in a car.

"Hello?" Whispered a soft voice.

"Hey! It is Melody, Chase want to tell you something." I said my voice cracking at some points.

"Hey Mel sure hand the phone over. We are having a serious talk later though." I could tell Alisha knew I was about to cry but handed the phone to Chase.

Chase mumbled a few words into the phone then hung up throwing it over to Derrick. We helped him get to Derricks car, which Chase brought. Once he was in Derrick drove us to Brock's.

"I need to get my stuff." I stated.

"Alisha and Cassie are bringing them. Do you rent or have you bought your apartment?" Chase said slowly getting out of the car.

"I bought it." I said.

"Good, so no problems for us." We made it to the porch and Derrick opened the door letting us go in. Chase went upstairs as I awkwardly stood there.

He raised his eyebrows and chuckled shaking is head, "Are you coming?"

"Where will I sleep?" I said looking at him.

"My room, Alisha and Cassie will sleep in the spare." He stated looking at me.

"Why can't I sleep with them." I said blushing.

He sighed, "Yeah you can, do you want to?"

"Kind of. Yes." I could feel my face turn crimson.

"Then you can." He laughed proceeding to walk up the stairs. I heard a door open and shut. Turning around I saw Alisha and Cassie with three bags. They ran up and hugged tightly.

"We are fine, you are okay." Cassie said placing her hands on my shoulders.

I nervously laugh, "Yeah, I am"

" I will show you to the spare room." Brock said brushing past us and going towards the kitchen area. We followed behind him, he opened a door and put an arm out saying, "Voila."

We thanked him and walked into the room, it had two cream double beds, and a black beside table. There was one closet placed in the middle. I could hear someone having a shower upstairs but didn't say anything.

"Cool." Cassie let out a breath.

"Yeah it is isn't it?" Nathaniel said putting his hands in his pockets walking over to us.

"Why are we staying here?" I said walking over to him.

He looked down at me since he was a head taller and said, "I dunno actually probably since Jedd will do anything to get his way."

I chuckled at his comment knowing that he was indicating to Felicity's or Karen's fake death. He smirked and walked out of the room, I spun on my heel to see Cassie and Alisha's curious faces.

"Are you not telling us anything?" Alisha asked amused.

"Yeah, are you hiding anything Melody?" Cassie said crossing her arms balancing all her weight on one hip.

"Fine, I will tell you." I let out a laugh and walked over to one of the double beds dumping my bags on it. Taking out all of my clothes I put them in my closet and saw Alisha looking at me expectantly.

"I have to see if I can tell you first." I said leaving my room and making my way upstairs.

I thought back to the time Derrick showed me Chase's room and walked up to his door. Knocking three times I waited patiently for Chase to tell me to come in. Once he did I opened the door to find myself witnessing a shirtless Chase put a navy blue shirt on.

"OH, I just came to ask to see if I can tell Alisha and Cassie?" I said blushing.

"Yeah, you can." He smirked.

I ran downstairs with a red face and back to my room. I sat down on the bed with them and told them everything. From Chase's past to what has happened recently. I wouldn't have if it weren't for his permission. And that view.

Today was one hell of a day.
