"Now we have somewhat matching costumes" i chuckled as me and Melody got into my car "somewhat matching? How are they even matching?" She asked "from my album" i smirked "is that why you pointed out the porcelain doll" she chuckled "maybe" i started to drive "smooth" she laughed "what should we do know?" I asked "can i run home? I need a shower" Melody asked. "Alrighty." I said.

"I'll be quick. Make yourself at home" Melody said as she ran down stairs.
Melody should be done soon. I looked around her living room, her mom hung up some pictures. I walked over to a frame that held 12 pictures and looked at it. In the middle of the frame 'Melody' was carved into the wood. These pictures were all of Melody, but only half looked like the Melody i know. "Josh" i heard my name and looked into the kitchen "oh, hello Miss Mae" i smiled "hello. Wheres Melody?" She asked "she's having a shower" i said, she nodded. "You looked confused while looking at the pictures" she walked over to me and started looking at the pictures "somewhat. Are they all of Melody?" I asked just to make sure. "Well Melody and her friends. But yes Melody is in every picture" she sighed "this may come out sounding very rude, but why?" I asked "why what? Why did she starve herself? Why did she get herself strapped to a hospital bed when she was 16? Why was she suicidal?" She paused "if those were any of your questions. I don't know. She never told me why, she never told anyone. She has these walls around herself, she rarely lets anyone in. Trust issues, anxiety." She stopped this time and looked at me "I'm surprised she let you in. She has been careful to stay away from guys since what happened with her last boyfriend." She said then started to walk away "what happened with her last boyfriend?" I asked "Melody has... Well she's never been good with physical violence. Just seeing it on tv makes her scared. Her old boyfriend was abusive, used to beat her till she was numb. Im surprised she even talks to you and your friends." She sighed and hung her head as she left for the kitchen again. I heard a door open downstairs then Melody jogging up the stairs. "Hey" she smiled and walked over to me "whatcha looking at?" She asked before looking at the frame "mom i thought i asked you to get rid of these pictures" Melody sighed "you did ask. I just didn't listen. I want to keep them" Miss Mae called from the kitchen. Melody groaned and ran a hand through her hair. "Want to get out of here?" She asked me "uh.... Sure" i took one last look at the pictures and me and Melody left. Im going to ask her about what happened when she was younger.
