The Healer

Kaiser

The next morning I was relatively excited to give my speech. I know Melody isn't a sappy kind of girl but after yesterday I could tell she felt the same way about me as I felt about her. When I got to class and she wasn't there yet I didn't think too much of it. But as more time passed I grew worried. In fact, there was a pit in my stomach filled with rage. I was getting some kind of sign from the universe that I needed to go find her. Right before my speech I decided to leave, there was no point in giving it if Melody wasn't there. I made some excuse about being sick and ran out the class. Fuck if only I knew where she lived. I ran to Eric's class and waved from the window for him to leave class. He didn't understand why I was so stressed or what made me freak out on him the minute he came out but Eric is the most understanding person I've ever met. "Calm down dude let's go get Kaylen maybe she knows where she lives" he said putting a hand on my shoulder. Kaylen was taking a class upstairs when she came out and saw the fear in my eyes she knew. "What's wrong with Melody Kaiser?" She asked instantly. I explained she didn't show to class and explained why I had reason to worry. But something I almost immediately realized was when I explained the situation to her about the bruise and the cut in her hand she didn't show she didn't seem surprised. "I know where Melody lives" she said. Eric and I both looked at her shocked "how do you know that?" I asked her. "There's no time to explain, let's go!" She said and took off running down the hall. Eric and I followed her closely we reached a house about 15 min later that seemed a little run down. You could tell no one was taking care of it. There were no cars in the drive way and the door was locked. "What do we do?" I asked, "Maybe she went to class?" Eric said. "No dude she has to be here something is wrong you have to trust me" I said back. "Guys over here!" Kaylen motioned for us to go around the back, we get to the first window and it's wide open. I climbed in with no hesitation, "MELODY?!?!!" I screamed my heart sank to my stomach. It was just like my dream, there she was laying on her bed, pool of blood surrounding her. She looked cold and pale and tired. Eric and Kaylen climbed in after me, I whipped around "call 911 she doesn't have much time!" I said tears streaming down my face. Don't give up Melody, please don't give up.
