The Promise

Chapter 11

-Melody-

I awoke to the sound of arguing. I was confused at first, but I then picked out the voices of the boys. I slipped on a pair of pajama pants and went to see what was going on.

"She said she likes me! Now I guess it was a lie since she's running off with you now!" Louis shouts.

"It's not my fault I love her Lou!" Harry shouts back. Aw, he loves me!

"Guys, you woke her up." They all look over at where I'm standing and I give them a small wave.

"Mel, I'm so sorry you had to hear that," Harry says, walking over and hugging me.

"It's alright Haz. It just hurts me to hear you guys fighting over something so dumb." He gently caresses my cheek and kisses my forehead. By then, Louis had left, and Liam and Zayn went after him. Niall wasn't here to begin with. I kiss his cheek and grab my iPod. I need music. I scroll through my music until I find the most relatable song possible to my life. Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. As the song starts, I sing along.

She walks to school with the lunch she packed. 

Nobody knows what she's holding back. 

Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday. 

She hides the bruises with linen and lace. 

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask. 

It's hard to see the pain behind the mask. 

Bearing the burden of a secret storm. 

Sometimes she wishes she was never born. 

Through the wind, and the rain, she stands hard as a stone. 

In a world, that she can't rise above.  

But her dreams, give her wings, and she flies to a place, where she's loved. 

Concrete angel.

Somebody cries in the middle of the night. 

The neighbors hear but they turn out the light. 

A fragile soul  caught in the hands of fate. 

When morning comes it'll be too late. 

Through the wind, and the rain, she stands hard as a stone. 

In a world, that she can't rise above. 

But her dreams, give her wings, and she flies to a place, where she's loved. 

Concrete angel.

A statue stands in a shady place. 

An angel girl with an upturned face. 

A name is written on a polished rock. 

A broken heart that the world forgot. 

Through the wind, and the rain, she stands hard as a stone. 

In a world, that she can't rise above. 

But her dreams, give her wings, and she flies to a place, where she's loved. 

Concrete angel.

As the song ends, I wipe a few tears away. I hear a body shifting, and look up. I see Harry wiping away a few tears.

"That was beautiful Melody," he said, sitting next to me.

"I love that song. The first time I heard it, I thought it described my life with uncle Ryan perfectly. Whenever I felt sad, I just listen to that song and go to sleep," I said. He puts an arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder. "What happened with Louis?"

"I think Zayn and Liam are going to talk to him. He's really angry."

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"I did this. I made your best friend hate you."

"No you didn't, if anyone's at fault here, it's me. I asked you out, I fell in love with you, I brought you to the X-Factor with me, I made that promise," he said.

"Wait, are you saying you regret making that promise to me?"

"N-No, I'm not saying that, I just think that-"

"You think that if you never made that promise, if you never saved me that night, then this wouldn't be happening!" I shout, standing up.

"No! Melody, I never said that!"

"Whatever. I'm going for a walk." Despite his protests, I storm out into the streets of Cheshire. I wipe away a few tears and just keep walking. Not at all caring that I'm still in my pajamas. I feel like I'm being followed, so I look around, but I see no one recognizable. I keep walking and get to a creepy alley. I'm almost past it, when an arm goes around my waist, and something hits my head, knocking me out.
