Chapter One:
I sat on the curb infront of my house and smoked my joint, feeling everything dissapear always made me feel better. I looked at the house infront of mine. That's where Jack use to live before he Left. Sudden pain of remembering him crept inside my heart, i felt as if i was being torn. I took another hit of my joint and the sudden pain disspeared. A smiled formed around my lips and i began to laugh for no reason the sensation made me feel good. i soon heard sirons and saw the light of a helicoptor flying over head of me shining it's light everywhere looking for whoever they were lookining for. i didn't care that i should have been inside right now, i didnt care of the person they were looking for passed right by me right now. I didnt have a care in the world, atleast not anymore. the light shined in my eye's and then it played back in my head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i sat on my porch with my hands on my ears trying to block out my parents yelling but it didn't help one bit. A boy with blonde dirty hair sat on his porch and looked at me as if he knew my pain. soon i heard glass breaking and my father screaming, tears welled up in my eye's and i suddenly my feet began moving away from my house filled with my parents screams. i stopped at the corner of my street and sat on the curb next to the worn down stop sign, releasing the pain that ache with in me. Why did i hyave such a fucked up family? Why did my parents fight? Why did my father blame his problems on me? Why can't an angel come and save me? Small steps came from behind me, a small hand was on shouder, i turned quickly to face whoever it was. The boy i saw sitting on his porch earlier had followed me, From behind his dirty blonde locks of hair i could see that he was worried, he knelt down besides me never taking his hand off my shoulder.
"Hi im Jack" he smiled
"Hi im Melody" i stuttered out
"why are you crying?" he asked
"because my parents are fighting and i got scared" i mumbled
He smiled and rubbed my back
"its okay, Parents fight all the time, nobody's family is perfect and if they are then i guess...there very lucky." he bit his lip I saw within his eye's and i could tell he wasn't one of the lucky ones
"do your parents fight?" i asked
he looked like if he was caugh off gaurd but he answered in a monotone "yes they do.." His eye's then looked at the ground and which made his hair shine as the bright sun raidteted off it..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The light soon flickered to the other side of the block and the sirens kept going, i shook my head as that memory played. i threw my joint to the floor and stepped on it to put it out. i walked up the stairs and opened the door to my house. My dad sat in his old brown looking recliner chair as he slept, the tv was on, he had fallen asleep watching the news. my mother was in her bedroom sleeping. i walked to the kitchen and opened the door that lead to the basement, which was my bedroom. Locking the door behind me, i walked down the steps switching the lights on. There i saw my room perfectly. my bed in the far corner, my red carpet and white painted walls. my tv in the center by the wall and my bean bag chair right by it with my laptop on my desk. i pulled my hoodie down and sunk into my black bean bag chair. i grabbed the remote and turned the tv on. It seemed the only good thing on television was the news, which was a snore fest. They kept talking about the same thing over and over again. The Joker... Geez, really when are they going to catch this guy already and just put him out of his misery? or why can't they just put me out of mine? i just stared at the tv as they kept going on and on. The than began to show this video he made, his voice was low and somewhat husky, He demanded batman to take off his mask or else for everyday he didnt he would kill someone. Hearing that grab my attention, maybe if i was lucky enough Joker would capture me and kill me, but who am i kidding...why get my hopes up like that? With that i turned off my tv. Letting out a small sigh, i threw myself onto my bed. i didn't even bother to take off my shoes or my hoodie. i just laid there closing my eye's hoping id dream of him tonight..
When i woked up i heard the soft rain, i felt light headed, i rubbed eyes tryin to wake myself up but, stopped. Tuning into the sound of the rain htting the earth, i began a smile, Ive always loved the rain..and so did he...
------------------------------------------------
"do you like the rain Melody?" he looked out the window in our tree house we built together, pretty good for 11 year olds.
"yes! i absoultley love the rain! if i could i would make it rain everyday." i smiled
he looked at me and smiled showing off his braces.
"do you like the rain Jack?" i asked
"Of course" he said almost in a whisper
-------------------------------------------------
i got up from my bed and took off my van's, unzipping my red hoodie, revealing my grey tank top. i walked to my personal bathroom and started the shower. i grabbed a white tank top, and sum black skinny jeans that has a few wholes in them.i grabbed a bra, under wear, and some socks. after i got what i needed i undressed and hopped into the shower.After i was done , i got dressed and slipped my shoes on. when i went back into the bathroom, i brushed my dark brown locks down, my bangs going to the side like always. when i looked at myself in the mirror, i saw i had purple bags under my eye's. they weren't that bad i thought to myself. my scar on my right check seemed not to fade yet. it's been years and still it hadn't dissapeared. i got it when i was 14. My golden necklace shined as i looked into the mirror. i held it and sighed to myself. He gave me this for my 15 birthday, and it was the last thing i had to rember him by..
--------------------------------------------------------------
The sun was now setting, me and Jack were in our tree house looking out the window, looking as the sun set.
"melody?" he whispered
"yes?" i responed
"did you get everything you want for your birthday?" he asked but still didn't looked at me
"Yes, i think so." i said in a confused tone
"are you sure?" he asked now looking at me, his brown eye's boring into mine.
"I never get my hopes up to high for my brithday" i smiled
"and why not?" he asked
"Because if i get my hopes to high, they just come tumbling down" i shrugged
"well i got you something, that i hope will meet your expectations even though you don't really have any" he laughed
" you know, you didn't have to get me anything. just having you here is worth alot to me" i smiled
" i wanted to get you something, so please close your eye's" he smirked
"Okkay" i giggled and did what i was told.
"Now open!" he said in such ethusaim
"okkay..Oh MY! Jack!.. This..this.." i was lost for words. he Held a golden necklace in front me, That has a heart.
He looked dissapointed "You don't like it?"
"No No i do, it's just so beautiful" I smiled and looked at him, a smile formed across his face
"you know the heart opens" he grinned
"really?!" i reached out for the necklace and opened the heart, with in it, it had a pic of me and him, the one with him giving me a piggy back ride, he looked so happy. on the side of it said this " Melody, I give you my heart.i hope you keep it forever because there is no other girl i would have keep this. Forever i decate my love for you. xoxo Jack"
Tears welled up in my eye's of joy and of love. he looked at me and smiled and pulled me into his arm's. he kissed the top of head, and whispered to me: "happy birthday Melody, I love you.."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stood there frozen, looking in the mirror as i whispered to myself
"Forever..I decate my love for you jack..Forever..."
