Melody:
The cold knife pressed against my skin, my voice gets caught in my throat.
"Let her go" Lucia cries
"Shut it you stupid girl" the men orders
"I will kill you" Lucia growls, struggling to get closer to me.
The men pull her back
I just stare
"So, you two are the gang leader" the guy holding me hostage laughs
A low growl comes out of my throat
"You guys are just wimps"
"Hot but weak"
Voices fill my throbbing head
"Leave them alone" A voice yells, not just any voice
JESSIE!!
"Says who"
"Me duh" Jessie says rolling her eyes
Before charging and stabbing the guy was holding onto me
Blood splatters onto my face
Picking up the fallen knife, I push the knife into a guys chest
Suddenly I hear sirens
Grabbing the girls, I make a run for it
Running through the back of the house, into the backyard
Once we get outside, I look around and at the building going up in flames
Lucia and Jessie hug me
Tears start rolling down my face,
Jessie tried to stay strong but breaks
Seeing the both of us are crying Lucia joins us
They know why I'm crying,
I'm scared of fire
Deadly scared
Memories flash through my mind
After we stand there for who knows how long, I feel a warm hand wrap around my wrist.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, sorry about your house" I whisper
"Its fine, as long as you girls are okay" he answers
I can't help but feel butterflies on my stomach
"The guys are in the car, come on lets go" he says, starting to pull us towards the car
"Where are you guys going to stay" I ask
"We will figure something out"
"You can stay with us" Lucia offers
"Bet, Melody would like that" Jessie smirks
Feeling blush climb up my cheeks
I quickly change the topic
"Ummm, sure now lets go don't want to keep the guys waiting" I say making a run for it
My 'friends' and Blake share a short laugh making me run faster
Blake catches up to me, and whispers into my ear
"Soooooo, you like me?" He asks
"NO" I scream
His smirk turns into a frown and his frown has a little pout
I suddenly feel bad and want to kiss his cute little pout
"Im sorry I didn't mean that"
" I know you didn't" he said, replacing his pout with a smirk
"You jerk" I yell
Blake laughs and runs ahead
As we sit in the car, Lucia driving, and Tyler in the passenger seat, Jessie and Chris in the back, then lastly Blake and I in the middle.
I look out the window.
30 minutes ago, I had a knife pressed against my throat and now everyone is laughing and joking around.
Maybe, just maybe I can have a happy life, with or without my father.
