I was beyond worried for Melody. We had just amended things and for her to be swept away by Luke, just like that? I dont know how to feel about it. I paced around the room, muttering to myself — although no sounds came out — and decided to try and find her or not. She was being very peculiar from the dress to Luke suddenly coming over. It was too odd.

If i go after her? Would he know?

God damnit, I've kissed her in the room. And he hasn't done anything yet

Let's just hope it stays this way

Ive risked too much for her

But love makes you do the craziest things.

I swung the door open, giving up on my debate and running to what i believed to be Luke's room. I brought my hand up to knock, stopping as a wave of nervousness washed into me. I closed my eyes and sucked in a deep breath, knocking loudly. I dont know what was happening in there but but the shuffling stopped. No one came after a waited a few minutes, the shuffling continuing. I grew restless and twisted the handle, nothing budging. I was beginning to worry a lot and i wanted to just bash the door down. Furrowing my brown, i ran a hand through my hair, thinking of any way to get in.

Calm down, she's fine.

"Help..." a tiny voice said behind the wooden door. My eyes widened.

No. That cant be....

"J-jonah h-help...a-anyone" the voice continued.

No that was definitely her.

I swung my body into the door, attempting to break it down but it still wouldn't move. As i went in for another push, the door swung open, revealing Luke. His eyes suddenly widened and his jaw opened. I shoved him out of the way and there she was.

She was shaking, tears flowing out of her eyes as she curled up into a ball, hugging her knees in the corner of the room. Her hair was messy and scratch marks were littered on her skin. I ran to her, pulling her into a hug, wrapping my arms tightly around her waist. More tears came out, soaking my shirt. I wanted to say words of comfort, but my mouth was clammed shut, i never seemed to be able to talk at the most desperate times.

A hand gripped my shirt, pulling me upwards. Luke sneered "get out" i couldnt take it anymore. You do not hurt someone i care about. I kicked him in the stomach and carried Melody out, quickly arriving at our dorm and locking. She was out cold by now and i just laid her on her bed gently, cursing myself for not arriving earlier. She had bruises trailing from her neck down to her collar bone. It disgusted me. I stared at her almost every night, just before i went out and did my business. The fact that i couldnt just go up to her and make her mine is terrible, because that's all i went to do before i die.

I sighed, grabbing the first-aid kit, i dabbed the cotton bud with some alcohol, hoping to sooth some of the wounds. I held her face gently, dabbing on it and staring at her concerned, she didnt deserve this, any of this. I ran a hand through her hair softly, kissing her on the forehead and coming back to my bunk, cleaning everything up.

Melody, you're driving me insane

Melody, you're going to be the death of me

Literally
