Hi...yeah, hi! I don't really know how to start, maybe a little introduction would work?

Yeah, an introduction would do...

Hi, I already said that, uhg...

So, I'm Melissa but all my friends call me Mel. And with friends I mean those two morons that are currently sitting on my couch. Don't get me wrong, I love them so much but sometimes I just want to kill them. You probably understand me, everyone has those moments with friends. We've been friends for more than 12 years now and they really are the only friends I have, I'm not really social. Unlike Jennifer, Jen for her friends, she just talks with everyone. She makes it look so easy, I on the other hand am way to shy. Jason, my other friend, is like an ideal mix between me and Jen. He doesn't talk too much but isn't as shy as me.

What else do you need to know? I'm single, I never had a real relationship before mostly because I'm shy and because I'm a bit afraid. My father wasn't the best one in the world, he would often get drunk and hit my mother. Growing up in this situation isn't fun, believe me. My mom tried to protect me as much as possible but sometimes it wasn't enough. So we left him, not much later died in a car accident. I'm not going to lie, his death left me cold. My father, the man I called 'daddy' died from the moment he started drinking. Maybe this all is this reason I'm afraid of men and being in a relation with them.

"Mel! Are you coming or what? It's going to start!" I heard a voice shout from my couch.

"Yeah Jen, I'm coming!" I replied shouting. I didn't really know why we would shout because my apartment isn't that big but I just joined the 'shout-party'.

"Yeah come on Mel, it's almost starting!" Jason shouted.

"What's with all the shouting today? You want my neighbors to hear you? I'm just here in the kitchen, I can literally see the tv from here!"

"It's not the same! You watch tv from your couch, not from your kitchen!" Jason told me.

I quickly agreed with him before he starts his famous 'How I watch tv monologue', I wasn't in the mood for it now.

We were going to watch Arrow, maybe you heard of it before. I'm not really a fan of superheroes and all that stuff but it's really good. Jason convinced me to watch it one night and I was sold immediately. When I asked Jason one good reason to watch it, he simply said: "hot guy". And he was right. I almost forgot to mention that Jason is gay, it's quite fun being able to discuss which guy is hot with an other guy.

After the episode we said good night to Jen and she left. Jason was currently staying with me because he has some trouble with his own apartment, they were renovating some things and he just couldn't stay with all the dust the working guys are making.

"Good night Jason." I told him while standing up from the couch.

"Good night Mel, sweet dreams!" He replied while going to the spare room.

"You too"

When I entered my bedroom I quickly changed into my nightwear and I checked my phone one last time to see if I hadn't missed anything. Luckily I had new messages so I had a day off tomorrow. Maybe I forgot to mention this before but I'm a freelance photographer. I really love my job! I recently got some big contact with Disney to do some photo shoots for an new movie. I can't really remember for which movie it is but come on, it's Disney. This movie will be great.

The first shoot should be next week but they told me it could always change due to the schedules of some of the actors. So I have to make sure I check my messages frequently. I just hope the actors are a bit nice, not like some others I worked for. I'm not going to name them but believe me, they weren't the nicest to work with. Some people really think they own the whole world.
