Just One Hug Sixty Four
Melody's POV:Just like I had heard, some people were around the corner of the hallway holding brochures for the Valentine's Dance.But that wasn't what stopped me. It was the thing those girls were talking about."Who knows if Brody takes me to the dance?" The Asian girl gushed.I knew I shouldn't be eavesdropping on their conversation, but I had heard something. I wasn't retreating back until I was sure.The girl next to her with dark red streaks in her hair rolled her eyes, before turning and slamming a poster on the wall. Just like I had imagined, those posters were a mixture of reds and reds.Another reason for me to not attend it. "I heard there are special guests accounted for the Dance." The blonde head said.I cornered against the locker I was hiding behind."Don't even think about it, Angie." The girl who just slammed the poster, said. "I'm going on that dance with him. With Asher Martinez."I knew it!"You are definitely crazy. He's a special guest. Not someone who you can
Just One Hug Sixty Five
Melody's POV:"Grandma!" I rushed forward giving her a big hug.The familiar scent of vanilla enveloped me as she hugged me back."Ah, my sweetpie is here." She said hugging me back.Grandma was my favorite person in the family I had. Of course, I didn't know her. She wasn't even familiar. But the way she had been there with me back at the hospital. Trying to make me feel better each day, I couldn't help but open up towards her."You must be hungry. Come on." She said pulling me alongside her.I laughed as I managed to close the door before getting dragged by her. She was one of the cuddliest and funniest grandmas.I dropped down on the couch looking at her as she brought chocolate chip cookies to me."Where's everyone?" I asked while munching on one cookie."Ah, they have gone to one of Lucy's family wedding." She said caressing my hair."Tristan?""He is in the college. He knew perfectly well, if he came here, I would've dragged him around until he cleaned every bits of his dirty ro
Just One Hug Sixty Six
Melody's POV:I smiled against him feeling something flutter inside me. We stayed like that for a while until I realized I had to go back. I pulled away but not too much, since he didn't let me."I've got to go. There is-" I stopped when I realized that Grandma was already watching us.I didn't even realize when she got out."Grandma." I finished before pulling away in surprise.Asher turned too before a grin formed on his face."Why didn't you tell you got out?" I asked her with a frown.She gave me a pointed smile."Well, who am I to interupt such a cute moment?" She asked.I cleared my throat, signalling her to not do this here. Instead, she kept on smiling."Why don't you two lovebirds come inside before you freeze to death?" She suggested.I closed my eyes, hoping Asher didn't listen."You do not have to go back, do you?" She asked Asher.As I opened my eyes, I saw Asher looking a bit surprised at the situation. I wish grandma would get the clue.I was about to say something when
Just One Hug Sixty Seven
Melody's POV:I was in a cafeteria.It looked like a school. A high school judging by the teenagers roaming around, crowding the tables, eating or gossiping their way towards the lunch line.Except it wasn't like that.Everyone was silent in the cafeteria. As if everyone had been pulled into silence. Not forcefully since most of them looked curious or surprised. I had no idea what had gotten everybody's attention. All I knew was that mostly, the glances were directed towards the table where a group of boys sat or it was towards me.They were looking at me.The possibility that people were looking at me in a flashback made me want to throw up. But that quickly disappeared when I realized that it wasn't me they were looking at. They were looking at the girl behind me.Melody.It felt like I was looking in a mirror. But she looked so different from...me. Something looked different in her. Something that I couldn't understand. She was wearing an oversized hoodie with a curtain of hair hi
Just One Hug Sixty Eight
Melody's POV:A concussion.That's what the doctor said it was when I woke up in the hospital bed. According to them, it had been few hours since I was out. "...this possible?" I trained my thoughts back on what Dad was saying.All I knew was that the news of me in the hospital had gone to dad somehow, probably through grandma, and now he was here when he should've been attending the wedding.Thankfully, Lucy didn't. I already felt guilty of pulling dad into this. I hated being in this hospital bed more than anything. Nothing was making me feel better.Especially, the looks everyone was giving me. Like it was my fault somebody gave me those pills which I felt too intrigued to take and fall in a...concussion.Grandma placed her hand on my shoulder, rubbing it comfortingly. "It's all fine, dear. Your dad's just a tad bit worried. That's all. He'll be fine." She reassured me.I looked back at dad who was talking with the doctor, a deep frown on his forehead. The thing that he was stil
Just One Hug Sixty Nine
Melody's POV:I took my coffee and headed for a table to sit on. It was the nearest café I could find this early morning. Because I felt like I wouldn't be able to open my eyes even a little bit if I don't get coffee.Especially since I had been busy all night between biology and stuff that concerned me. Which was a lot.I took the sip of the very extra strong coffee. I didn't usually drink this. I didn't drink coffee either. Looking out from the transparent glass walls, I saw the basic view of early morning Orlando.Most of the people hadn't even woken up yet. Except those who needed their coffee. Like me.I took out my phone, looking at the screen. I don't know what I was looking at. I wanted to call Asher. But what would I say? What you need to tell him!I know I practically panicked back at the hospital in front of him. I still do when I think about that pill box. But would he even believe me? It sounded too irrational even to my own self.He wasn't in that flashback. Did I even
Just One Hug Seventy
Melody's POV:I managed to convince Riley to keep her mouth shut about what she saw. But that didn't mean she wouldn't try to get it out from me. That's how she was."You didn't tell your own best friend?" She asked out loud as I sat down on my bed.Right now, almost everyone was in my dorm. Amelia, Selina and Riley. All of those who I didn't want to face right now."Didn't tell what?" Selina asked rummaging through her closet.Out of all of them, the most sober looking was Amelia. Who didn't even care what was going on at the moment. She was busy in her laptop, her glasses crooked on her nose."That she's seeing Asher Martinez." Riley completed.So much for actually begging her to shut up. I gave her a really bad look which she only returned with a shrug."They are your roommates, aren't they?" She went over to Selina and showed her hand.Selina looked over in unbelievable surprise."You bitch, where is my autograph?" She looked over at Riley.Amelia looked over at all of us."Asher
Just One Hug Seventy One
Melody's POV:"I don't know. It's hard concentrating when there's so much going on." I said glancing at Asher in front me.He zipped and unzipped his burnt orange jacket which in my opinion, looked really good on him. And maybe that's why I was finding my eyes on him every second."Maybe you should focus more on your counselling sessions?" He suggested.I looked away this time."Or maybe you should talk about this?" He looked behind me with a frown. But it disappeared as soon as it came.The café we were sitting in was very less crowded."To the counsellor?""I cannot believe you're actually saying that." I finally looked at him.God, why did he have to look so good?"What? I'm just trying to help." He said defensively.I shook my head."That doesn't even sound like you're trying. You know what it sounds like?"He looked at me in confusion."Like you're trying to get rid of me." I answered.He leaned back on his seat. You know what angered me more? That he didn't even try to deny it.
