 Laurel's POV

~2 Weeks After The Breakup~

NEW MESSAGE FROM "Mel": time heals all wounds.

I read Melony's message before throwing my phone onto my bed. Its been a little bit over 2 weeks since Julia and I stop speaking and it still hurts almost as much as it did the day she broke my heart. Only now its easier to bare, to hide. I've learned that if I keep my mind occupied it's easier not to think about it.

My phone rings and I pick it back up off the bed. Mel

"Yes Melony?" I smile slightly

"Let's go out." She says.

"Go out where?" I sigh.

"I don't know, somewhere. Your getting depressed. I can hear it in your voice."

"Well I'm not going to just get dressed to be going no where. "

"So your agreeing to go somewhere?"

I can hear the excitement in her voice and it scares me a little.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Eeeeeekkkkkkk!"

I pull the phone away from my ears, smiling a little to myself.

"Be ready in 45."

"Where are we going?"

"Its a surprise."

"How am I suppose to know what to wear?!" I demand.

"Dress to impress. That's all I'm going to tell you."

"Your a pain."

"Whatever. Just be ready." Melony says before hanging up.

I sigh inwardly, getting off my bed to go to my bathroom. I turn on the shower, before going to pick out an outfit from my closet. I run my hand lightly over all the clothes on hangers until it lands on a black lace dress. The fabric underneath the lace was a nude color. I pick a pair of nude stilletos to match with white pearl earrings.

After showering, I lotion my body before pulling on my nude underwear so it would blend in if it was seen through the dress. I slip on the dress, feeling the fabric of the dress hugs my body. I put on my make-up and straighten my hair, parting it down the side.

I spray myself with perfume before walking up to the front of the house to wait for Melony.

"Where to?" My father asks from the dining room table.

The table is covered with case files.

"I was going to go somewhere with my friend Melony, if that's okay."

"Who's Melony?" He asks, removing his glasses from the bridge of his nose.

"A very nice girl from Knightingale." Steph says, walking in from the kitchen.

I smile I'm relief and mouthing "thank you" when my father turns to look at her. She winks in reply.

"Where's she taking you?" My dad questions.

"I don't know yet," I answer honestly. "Its a surprise."

"Hmm." My father says, rubbing his chin.
