My Heart Beats For You

Graduation And A Road Trip (15)

Question timeeeee! xD

Which was Bring Me The Horizon's first album?

"I dont wanna go!" Mel whined, covering her head with a pillow. We all glared at her. Lucy and Arabella started chucking things at her. 

"What do you mean you don't want to go? Your parents are gonna be there, you should be excited!" Julie exclaimed, trying to pull her out of the bed. She stopped tugging her arm when she was hit in the head with a pen. Julie turned and glared at Lucy and Arabella who were giggling uncontrollably. "You girls are such children," Julie rolled her eyes and then went back to tugging at Mel's arm. "Come on, Mel."

Mel groaned and sat up, her hair sticking up in every direction. Jasmine chuckled and helped her flatten it. 

"Fine, I'll go, but not for my parents. For you guys."

"Thanks Melly-Bear," I kissed her cheek, "you weren't going to make me go to graduation alone, were you?"

"Of course not, Lyrie-Poo," she tapped my nose and stood up. "Let's get done then."

We took turns showering. Graduation started at two, so we still had three hours to get done, but we wanted to be at school early. We only had a week left of school and then we'd officially be adults. Sad, right?

At one o'clock, we were on our way to school. When we got there, we found a lot of people with their families. After ten minutes of looking, we found Mel's parents. 

Her mother had her brown hair pulled into a tight bun, she was wearing a white blouse, a black pencil skirt, a black blazer and black heels. Her father -- who was going bald -- was wearing a black suit. They looked like they were dressed for a funeral, not their only child's graduation.

"Hi Mr and Mrs Smith," I greeted kindly, smiling at them. They looked at my tattoos and piercings in disgust. When they looked at Mel, they looked extremely appalled. This wasn't the daughter they had left behind. The daughter they had left behind had zero tattoos, zero piercings and brown hair. The girl standing before them had tons of tattoos, a couple piercings and bright pink hair. 

"Mother, Father," Mel said stiffly. They said nothing, they just examined our friends. When they looked at Jasmine -- who was carrying Joshua -- and Annie -- who was cradling her belly. "I'm not gonna do this if they wont even talk to me!" Mel exclaimed. 

"Hi Melody," her mother greeted in a posh voice. Mel rolled her eyes. 

"Wont you introduce us to your...friends?" her father asked, scrunching up his face in disgust. 

"They're not my friends," Mel stated. We looked at her in shock. Her parents looked extremely happy with that. 

"Oh thank--" Mel held up her hand to stop her mother from talking. 

"You didn't let me finish," she glared at her parents. "They're not my friends, they're my family."

"We shouldn't have left her Jenna," her father said, "look at the kind of people she's associating herself with. This isn't the Melody we raised."

Mel laughed humorously, "You didn't raise me! I was raised by a shit-load of Nannies! I wasn't raised by my parents as I should have been! Lyra doesn't have parents, but that's because they died. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that you were dead too."

Mel looked at my family apologetically. We nodded at her as if to say it's okay. 

We didn't say anything else to her parents. We just walked away. And that was our graduation for you. No drama from the populars, but a lot of drama from the parents.
