velvet ring

" ben , he loved her like he loved no one , the way she laughed , and held a smoking gun , the way she said , "what's done is done" , and he is not the only one... "

when ethan convey met melanie salvatore, he didn't know he would end up being stuck as just a boy in melanie's life. if he was told that he'd eve be dating her 2 years ago, he wouldn't beleve it whatsoever. he was... just the shy boy that no one ever noticed... right?

Melanie Salvatore wasn't popular, but she wasn't a loser either. She was more of the person you would think of when "anyone else but you" by the moldy peaches, or any song by adrianne lenker would come on. behind all of melanie's shit talking and rudeness was just an insecure teenage girl that had been hit too many times.

benji murry liked melanie since middle school, 6th grade. he loved the way she would humble the hell out of anyone, the way she'd talk back to anyone if they pissed her off, the way she always said, "if you're gonna talk shit, then say it to my face." but benji wasn't the only one. he wasn't the first boy to like her, benji would be the one to say "i've liked melanie since 6th grade." but what does ethan get to say? "i'ved liked her since the pre- school play."
