Falling In Love

Chapter 29

Melissa's POV:

"You heard me sing?" I ask. "Yeah. You have a beautiful voice Mel." Andrew says. "You all heard me!?" I ask. "Yeah, but haven't you sang like that before?" Ashton asks. I just glare at him. "Ash, EVERY time I wanted to sing to you, you only said, 'Mel I can't listen right now, I got something better to do' and so I stopped asking you." I said. "Oh. Wow. I'm sorry for not listening." Ashton replied. "It's fine." I say. "Actually it's not fine, I even made a song for you but you pushed me away and wouldn't listen to it. That pissed me off." I mumble under my breath. "What'd you say babe?" Luke asks. "Nothing. Just talking to myself." I say. "Oh ok." He says. I then get out of Luke's lap and go into the kitchen. Then I tell the boys, "I'm going to change into more comfortable clothes." "Ok! But don't be to long. The movie's about to start!" Luke says. "Ok." I say as I run upstairs. I change into sweatpants and a baggy shirt. Then I pull out a song I wrote at age 13, when I was going through hard times and I needed my best friend. (When I was 13 my best friend, Skylar, committed suicide. I never knew she was going through a hard time and I would've helped her, but she never told me and then one night her parents told me she bled to death and wrote me a note which said,

"Dear Melissa,

I'm sorry that I wasn't such a good best friend. I'm sorry that I made you upset. I'm sorry that I was always bossing you around. I know you might think that I wasn't but I felt that I was. People always bullied me and I went to the consoling office many, many times but I still felt bad. You're NOT the reason that I'm killing myself. It's all the people at school who's bulling me. I also felt bad that I didn't tell you and I know you could've helped me, but I wanted you to think that I'm strong and can stand up for myself, but I wasn't strong. I fell to my knees and couldn't take it any more. I cut my wrists until I died and I know I wrote this note before I killed myself but this is what I'm going to do. I'm sorry if I let you down. But remember that you're NOT the reason and always remember that you made me happy when I was sad, when I needed a hug you hugged me, when I needed a good cry you were my shoulder, and when I just needed to talk you listened to me go on and on about how much I like someone or how much I care about you and just said memories that we shared. Always remember those memories. Never forget them. I love you Melissa.

Love your best friend,

Skylar.")

I read the note over and over again and I start to cry. Then I pull out the song and some pictures of us and cry harder. I start to song the song but some after I couldn't take it any more and stopped singing. So I just when downstairs and went to Luke. I sat on his lap and acted like everything was ok when everything clearly wasn't. "Melissa why are you crying?"
