Not The Same

His words still ring in my head, like they were yesterday. I could remember his brown hair, the way it shined in the sunlight. His piercing blue eyes looking at me as if he was daring me to question him. As if he knew he wasn’t wrong, and it was true. I had changed, but I had no way of telling him that because he left me. He left me alone, feeling hopeless. I couldn’t face him. I couldn’t just message him without worrying about if he still hated me. I couldn’t call him, I didn’t have his number anymore. I couldn’t do anything about losing my best friend.

Melody Delphia was perfectly fine with living the life, just causing trouble with her friends. Breaking the law, outrages parties, getting drunk. Typical teenage life, right? Mitchell Wayne was going to be closer to family when he moved to Colorado Springs. Here, he thought that he was going to surrounded by his family, watching his every move, not able to do the things he wants. He never knew that crazy red headed girl would wake him up by poking him with a stick at the bus stop. Melody never thought that the crazy kid at the bus stop would so bluntly call her beautiful. They became fast friends and fell in love easily with the same passion for music. Then the worst hits them. When something bad happens to Melody and she loses herself in the world of alcohol and partying, Mitchell couldn't stay and watch her destroy herself, especially when she wouldn't let anyone know about what happened.

Years later, Melody, with her act together, runs into Mitchell on accident, but the wounds have not fully healed. Is she ready to let in the man that hurt her when she needed him the most?
