Note from MC: Stop. Do not read this story. It was written by a 13-year-old girl who really needed a reality check. Legit, the amount of embarrassment I have for this story is innumerable, so please just... no. "I'm abused by my dad. So what? Are you going to save me? Are you going to miraculously take me away from him? Didn't think so. Stay out of my business, Mr. Carter. I can handle myself," I snapped. He was really starting to get annoying with all these questions. Couldn't he take a hint? He leaned down, getting into my personal space again, and stared into my eyes. "You're fifteen, Deserae; you can't handle yourself. And to answer your question: Yes, I am going to save you. With or without your permission." And he walked away. Leaving me stunned, confused, and breathless. As always. *I WAS ONLY 13ISH WHEN I WROTE THIS, SO IT'S IN NEED OF EDITING THAT I WILL NEVER DO. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED*

Melody Jones always felt like no one was listening, even when she took extra strength to shake the words from her mouth, nothing changed much. Nothing made her life easy, though not much was wrong. As nervous as she always was, she continues to breathe like something will change, and she is correct.. she meets the man next door. A confident, protective mature adult who is willing to do what it takes to make her laugh, even if it is an awful cheesy joke, and he breathes like there is no tomorrow. He was the man she has always dreamed of, he was the best friend she never had.. but little does she know this man has a lot more to tell then what he's saying..and Melody always wondered who wrote the book on love, and she was beginning to feel she did, and just as it seemed great, she wondered who wrote the book on Goodbyes, and she is thinking he did.
