THE NEW NEIGHBOURS.

                 MELODY'S POV
Its been seven months since Emma's accident and a new family has moved in there house. Her mom could hardly bear to stay in that house, it reminded her alot about the 18 years old daughter that she had lost.
I still remember everything as if it was yesterday. It all happened so fast, the tire scrunching , the sound of her body hitting the ground, her blood on the road .I keep on replaying every moment of the accident in my mind. The day I lost my best friend was the day I knew I had nothing else to live for. Mom kept on telling me that it was all going to be alright . But what does she know?, she barely even stays with me , always busy with work . Emma knew everything about me , she understood everything that my mom failed to. It is never going to be alright, not when she isn't around, i've known Emma for almost my whole life ever since she moved here with her mom and brother 16 years ago. She was my best friend and the sister that i never had. Watching her life being taken away from her in front of me was the hardest thing that I could ever come across through. I keep on blaming myself what happened, thinking that I could've done something to protect her or stop her from going to buy ice cream for the both of us and now my whole life is just an endless dark tunnel with me trapped in it.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door and my mom came right in before I said anything.

''Sweetie,im preparing some cheesecake for the new family that has moved in the James' old house and i need you to take it there later, would you?'' My mom suddenly changed her bright facial expression to a rather sympathetic one which made me realize the tears that were rolling down my cheeks. I rubbed them up with my hands and cleared my throat before speaking.

''Yeah,sure.'' I muttered in a casual tone.

''Honey,are you okay?''i could see the way she was struggling to maintain this awkward situation right through her eyes. I wanted to shout to her that I wasn't, that i was burning inside and slowly turning into ashes. But even if I would, she would careless.

''Yes, im okay.''

She closed the door behind her before taking one last pity full look at me.
I opened my bed table's drawer and took out a razor-blade. As i closed my eyes to feel the sharp end of the blade tearing my flesh, I could sense the numbness consume me.

Five hours later i was standing outside my old best friends house with a cheesecake on my hands waiting for the new owners to open there door , give it to them and go back home where i could sneak into my bed and drain myself with my dark depressed thoughts
.
''Hi''
I heard a deep voice coming from my front which was the door
.
''Hey, ugh my mom made this for you as a welcome to the neighborhood cake. I hope you like it.'' I said as i turned the instant he took the cake from my hand.

''Hey wait.'' He said grabbing my hood's arm. I quickly pulled my hand away from his hold and looked at him

''What?''

''Im Dave, mind to tell me your name please?'' He harmlessly asked

''Mel, Melody.'' I said as i took my first look at him. His perfectly faced appearance is un-admirable even a broken girl could see that.

I took off before he spoke another word.
