Life Of Lies

Chapter 1.

17th of October

Melanie POV

"Here's a paper with my new number on it. You better text me, love!" Danielle said. But now, I don't know where I've put it. I've searched everywhere: in my pockets, in my purse, everywhere. "Eric! Have you seen a little paper? I thought it was blue!" I yell. I hope Eric has seen something downstairs. "Yeah, I think I threw it in the bin. Why?" he yells back. I immediatly run out of my room to the kitchen downstairs. I open the bin and take everything out. My hands are full of dirt, but now I don't care. I need to find that paper. "Are you looking for this, sis?" Eric says. I turn around and see him waving with a blue paper in his hands. He stands there, smiling like an idiot. "Eric come on, there's so much dirt on my hands, I don't even want to know what it all is, and you just stand there with the paper I was looking for?" I shout. He bursts into laughing. I wash my hands and take the paper out of his hands. "You're going to pay for this, brother." I run upstairs with the little paper in my hands. I still smell like dirt. Where did I leave my phone? Oh there it is. I take my phone from my bed and unlock it. Where are my contacts? I seriously can't work with my new phone. I've always had a Nokia. It wasn't even a smartphone. But now, I bought an iPhone 6 with some money that I saved. My Nokia fell in the toilet and he didn't work anymore. But I'm so happy that I finally have got a smartphone! It's so much easier to contact my friends, at least when I know where to find 'Contacts'. I press on the app and then I add Danielle. I look at the paper to add her number. So, done. I go to 'Messages'.

Melanie: Hii Dani! You don't know what I had to do to text you. #dirtyhands x Mel

I lock my phone and go to my bathroom. I need to take a shower, I smell like an old banana. I take off my clothes and I step in the shower. The warm water runs down my body, removing the stress from the last few weeks. I moved in with my older brother for a month because our stephdad is in hospital for a month. When he's allowed to come home, Eric will stay with us for a while, because I can't take care of him on my own. Dad heard he has cancer since a few weeks. Normally I look after him, but now he had to go to the hospital for some research. Eric told me I could move in with him until he comes home. So basicly, everyone keeps on moving until he gets better. We will see how it all ends. I wash my hair with a bit of shampoo and the water removes the shampoo out of my hair. I shut off the water and I step out of the shower. After drying my body, I put on my shirt which I sleep in. I look at the clock. 9:58PM. I rush to my couch, it's almost time for Ex On The Beach. I put on my TV and MTV is already on. I see the beginning tune of Ex On The Beach. Just in time. I hear my phone making a buzzing noice. Maybe it's Danielle.

Danielle: I'm sorry, but I'm not Danielle...

I stare at my phone. Not Danielle? I decide to reply.

Melanie: Danielle, stop making bad jokes. I had a tough few weeks and I really miss you, so please act normal.

I lock my phone. Weird, Danielle never makes jokes like this when she knows I'm down. *Bzzz*

Danielle: No I swear, I'm not Danielle! Who are you?

Melanie: It's me, Melanie?

Danielle: I'm sorry but I don't know you Melanie.. I don't even know who Danielle is

Melanie: But, who are you?

Danielle: I'm Lucas.

Melanie: Lucas.. Hmm.. Sorry about the misunderstandig...

I change the name into Lucas. How could this happen. I look at the paper again. The first numbers are right. This one too. Oh no, I see... I changed the last number by accident... I typed six when it had to be seven...

Lucas: No problem

Melanie: I changed the last number by accident, you have a six as last number and my friend has another one, I'm sorry, my fault.

Lucas: I told you, it's not a problem, everyone makes such faults sometimes ;)

I smile. I really have to tell Danielle about this.

Lucas: But, you said in that text to Danielle that you've had a rough few weeks? Want to talk about it?

Melanie: Maybe later, first, tell me something about yourself :)

First chapter is on! It's my first story in English so if there are any grammar mistakes or word mistakes, I'm sorry. I don't really have a big knowledge in English words so I'm sorry if this story is a bit childish. I hope you like it so far. A comment or vote is always welcome :) x
