3 weeks earlier...

I woke up early in the morning by my mom screaming my name to wake up. I slowly sat up in my bed looking at the glowing sun light. 7 AM on a Monday morning. I slipped my feet into my fuzzy purple slippers and slowly sat up from my bed. I walked over to the door and slowly opened it. I quickly ran to the bathroom realizing the door is shut. Crap! My older brother beat me to it. "James! Open the door! NOW!" I screamed as I banged on the door.

I could hear him laughing away knowing I lost to him, again. "In your dreams, Melodie!" he yelled through the door.

"Fuck this," I whispered, punching the door.

I began to walk to my room, slamming the door behind me. I walked over to the mirror. "Ew, I look uglier than ever!" I thought to myself.

I opened my closet door and looked through my clothes. I grabbed a dark green hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans. I applied some eyesliner and mascara to my face and walked out of my room.

I walked down the stairs to see my mom cooking eggs. "Morning mom," I said as I sat down at the table.

She completely ignored me and continued cooking. "As usual." I thought. I stood up and grabbed my bag. I slipped my feet into my purple DC shoes and walked out the door to school.

As I arrived at school, I opened the doors and walked in. I looked around to find everyone giving me blank stares. I looked down and continued to walk. I came to my locker, I put my combanation in and opened it. I grabbed my math text book aswell as my binder. I closed my locker and began to walk towards my class. Before I knew it, I barged into some guy. "Watch where you're going little shit!" he snapped.

"Sorry," I quietly said before moving quickly.

I came close to my class, before I reached the room, a girl shoved me over cauing me to drop everything. "Oops! My bad," she sarcasticly said before leaving.

I grumbled then went down on my hands and knees to pick up my stuff. The bell rang as I began to pick up all my math stuff. People kept kicking it around the hall. The second bell rang by the time I had everything in my hands. I ran to my class knowing I;m late. I swung the the door open. "Melodie, you're late!" Mrs. Mahone said as she wrote on the board.

"I know, and I'm sorry!" I explained.

"Last warning," she called.

"Okay." I frowned as I sat down.

The lesson went on forever it felt. I wanted this day to end so badly. Finally the day zoomed by so fast. Thank God. I came home and threw my bag on the floor. I ran into my room with tears streaming down my face. Thinking about the nasty comments from everyone. I grabbed a safty pin from my bedside table. I did a quick slide with it across my arm leaving a small cut with a little blood. I felt my phone vibrate. It was my friend, Ross, texting me.

Ross: Hey Mel! I'm home for the next few months! Wanna hang? :)

Melodie: Sure! Will do!

I put the pin back on my dresser, threw some makeup on to hide the fact that I was crying. I ran into my closet and grabbed my DC hat and put it on over my long blonde curly hair. I ran down the stairs, wrote a note for my mom to let her know I'm at Ross'. Like she would care where I was anyways. I put my DC shoes back on and then went to the door. I forgot I put my bag there so I ended up tripping over it. "Ow! Fuck that hurt!" I said out loud.

I opened the door and began to limp over to the house next door. I knocked on the door then waited quietly for someone to answer. Then the door opened and there stood Riker. "Melodie!" he called before pulling me into a hug.

"Hey Riker!" I laughed.

I pulled away from the hug and walked into the house. "Ross!" Riker yelled.

Ross slowly walked in. His eyes layed on me. He ran over and hugged me tight. "Oh my God! I missed you so much!" he said pulling me tighter.

"I missed you too, Ross!" I said.

We pulled away. He looked down at my wrist. "You didn't," he whispered in fear.

I stayed quiet knowing he would get upset with me. I looked down at the ground trying to ovoide eye contact with him. I was so scared at the moment.

"Mom, I'm going out with Melodie for a while," Ross yelled.

"Alright! Don't be gone for long!" Stormie called back from the kitchen.

We walked out the door and slowly began to walk off to the park. I'm more worried than ever.

[A/N: hey guys. Ross has just been introduced into the story. Any guesses on what's going to happen next? I'll update tomorrow :)
