melody left out a sigh, reading over the last message. she knew troye didn't love her the way she loved him. he used to love her the same but she knew from the way he would distance himself from her that he was slowly drifting away from her. everyone would've thought the two would have broke it off, but melody knew she couldn't leave him.

melody had came to her brother seeking advice on how to make her boyfriend happy, and want to love her. but the only advice he was able to give her was something she feared he would say:

"mel if you don't love him and he doesn't love you the same just break things off. i think he would understand." her brother says squeezing her hand tightly. melody pulled away, standing up from the couch and sighing loudly. she ran her fingers through her brown hair, a single tear falling from her eye.

"the thing is i do love him, jay." she whispers mostly to herself. her brother stood up and pulled her into a tight embrace as she cried softly into his chest. "i'm such an idiot." she sobs into his chest. he rubbed her back soothingly trying to stop her tears. "i'm in love with someone who doesn't love me the same." she dryly chuckles. all emotion drained from her.

"you're not an idiot. sometimes our hearts make us fall for the people we aren't meant for. you can't blame yourself nor him. this isn't anyone's fault, you two just rushed into things and from what you've told me he's going through a rough time back home." he says, melody pulls out of the embrace, wiping the tears from her eyes.

after the talk with her brother that day she knew what she had to do, but she obviously didn't want to do it. she loved troye so much.

"i don't want to break his heart jay." she says a lump forming in her throat as she thought about the ocean eyed boy who she'd been madly in love with over the past year or so. it caused an ache in her chest at the thought of leaving him and breaking him.

"mel you're just gonna break his heart more the more you stay with him." her brother says his green-hazel orbs soft with concern for his sister.

"jacob that's the thing you don't know him like i do." she says angrily, standing up from the spot on the couch she had been occupying.

" yeah but i know how breaking someone's heart does. the longer he pretends to love you and you love him it's just gonna go down hill." melody didn't want to admit it but her bother was right, but she still didn't want to hurt the boy in any way shape or form

"i hope i don't break his fragile heart." she says closing her eyes for a moment. "i hope he's gonna be okay." she then says.
