What Do You Want From Me

Chapter 5: Parents

I woke up to a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. I twisted my head around to find Dylan spooning me. I was confused for a second then the memorys flowed back to me. I laid my head back down on the soft pillow and stared at the wall, trying to fall back asleep. As I started to drift off into a day dream a pair of soft lips on my neck jerked me back to reality. I turned over so I was facing Dylan. His eyes a beautiful golden drown. They sparkled as the sunlight, that creeper threw the open curntains, hit them. "Goodmorning!", he said with the brightest smile. "Goodmorning", I said shyly with an equally as bright smile. A thought popped into my head "his parents...what would they do if they saw me and dylan...in bed...together." I looked down and realized Dylan was in nothing but his boxers and I was only in a tank top and short gym shorts I had worn under my dress from the party. "What would they say if they saw us in bed...together...and half naked." ,I thought. Dylan must have noticed my panicked look because he said, "don't worry, my dad is never home." "What about your mom?". As soon as I asked, I saw his expression go from happy to depressed in two seconds flat. At that moment I knew I probably shouldn't have asked. To my surpise he answered my question. "She left me and my dad when I was six. She was cheating on my dad with one of her Co workers and he got her pregnant. She left town with him as soon as she found out. She didn't even tell us she was leaving. She just....left. she sent my dad some devorice papers a year later. I have no idea where she is now." I sat staring at his now sad drown eyes. I had no idea how to respond to that. Then I started to think about my family relationship. "Since you told me all that I'm going to tell you something that not even Ashley knows, but first you have to promise to never tell a soul." "Promise!", he said putting a hand over his heart."It all started
When-"

~FLASHBACK~

Melody's dad sat at the table. A bottle of whiskey in hand. He was so intoxicated he couldn't form words when Melody asked him if he was alright. She was only seven or eight at the time. He got up and went up stairs. She heard a scream come from her dad and a rush down the stairs. Her mother yelling "please just let me explain." "No your a freak! A monster.", he yelled back at her before punching her in the face. When she looked back up she had a trail of blood coming from her nose. He eyes glowed silver for only a second before they were blue once more. Melody heard her dad scream furiously "see that's what I  mean a monster...your a monster!" Melody slowly walked to the conner of the room so she could see what was going on but her fighting parents wouldn't notice her. Melody's dad pulled out a large pocket knife and without hesitation stabbed her mother in the stomach. She cred out in pain. Her dad didn't stop he just kept stabbing her. In her chest, her stomach, her side, her arms, legs, neck. Melody slid down the wall in the conner of the room silently crying. Her dad hovered over his wife, knife still in hand and stabbed it into her stomach leaving it there. He got up still unaware melody had seen any of it, and walked to the kitchen turning on the sink to wash the blood off his hands. Melody tip-toed over the the phone and dialed 911.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

"Within five minutes after I  cslled police had him in hand cuffs. They took him to an insane isilum where he later comitted suicide. I was in and out of foster homes for two years till my adoptive parents took me and and now I live with them. They are only really home maybe one day a week if I'm lucky so I am pretty much alone...all the time. Besides when Ashley is over." He looked at me amazed. I had one-uped him big time. I had rendered him speechless. He took me into his arms and we sat, with me silently crying into his chest, for hours. When I finally leaned up he looked at me with a weird expression. Confused and scared yet curious and intrigued. After a few minutes of staring he said, "your eyes...t-they are glowing white, almost silver"
