Heartstrings

Chapter 1

Melanie isn't the greatest person. She's pretty and admired but she's also envied and hated, not to mentioned feared. To put it short she's a bully, a bitch I couldn't care less about. Now why would I go so far as to get solid information about her boyfriend Steven so she doesn't keep being led on, well it splits between boredom and the deep need to help people, no matter they're troubling reputation. Then again the way she begged and desperately called for me might've been another reason, seeing the drama up close might be fun too. Whatever the reason, I was in it now and there was no going back. That would just ruin my reputation.

I've known Steven for a while, and although we don't talk much anymore, I know him. He just isn't the type of guy to cheat on someone, especially someone he's been dating for two years. Why he would fall in love with an idiot leader of a gang which would team up everyday after school to beat people up, I don't know. Maybe because he's a blonde. Maybe because he's a football player. Hell maybe he was blackmailed and forced to be with her, but then again why would she come to me and ask for help if she's got something against him, unless she's not the one that blackmailed him to do it. But what kind of secret would Steven have, so bad that has to be kept a secret, to the point where he'd stay devoted to a person he doesn't love for two straight whole years? Whatever the secret may be, it was my job to figure it out and put a stop to his cheating ways, if that even is the reason.

I get constant requests of assistance, whether it being from the same person over and over with a new or same problem they just can't figure out; or a completely new person who's never come to me before, possibly because they've never had a problem in need of professional assistance, or they were just new. It's always the same thing over and over no matter if that person is a returning customer or a new person who's never asked me for help before; "help I'm desperate and in need of help with a problem I'm either to dumb or prideful to figure out, or I just don't want to go through the trouble." Depending on the situation, although my assistance is usually free since it only usually consists of plain advice, sometimes I ask for a small payment in return. Whether that be information of a specific person, phone numbers, personal information only that person may know, or just money. Though I don't ask for much, not be bias or anything but the payment required may be higher depending on how much I hate the person, terrible I know.

Although I'm constantly surrounded by love I've never actually fallen in love myself. Relationships are stressful and although I've never been in one before I might as well have been considering how many people come to me in need of advice or help concerning they're lover. I've seen and helped with almost every problem possible to happen in a relationship, and I just can't stand to go through such things myself, I'm busy enough as it is. Love is such a complicated thing, it requires passion, patience, the ability to care about someone more than yourself, commitment, socialization. Half of those things I just can't imagine myself doing, half of those things I just don't have time for. I don't think I ever will.
I'd like to though, maybe.
