Just One Hug Sixty One
Melody's POV:I woke up, flinching slightly at the bright sunlight entering my eyes. After my vision adjusted a bit, I realized the storm had stopped. It was a beautiful, sunny morning.I brought my hand up to my eyes and rubbed them. Turning my head, I saw Asher sleeping beside me.Oh.We both were sleeping on the floor.My eyes widened a little as I realized that my body was totally flushed against his. One of his arm was underneath my head and the other was around my waist. I exhaled slowly hoping he wouldn't wake up.I didn't want to pull away. Ever. I loved how comforting this was. I looked at his closed eyes. My fingers moved on it's own as they rested softly on his face. I slowly caressed the side of his face. It felt like he wasn't real. Raising my fingertips up to the back of his head, I touched his hair gently.Something tugged within me as if this all had happened before. It must've. I sighed and placed my head on his shoulder hearing his rhythmic heartbeat against mine.A

Melody's POV:"Are you sure it was me, he called?" I asked the office assistant one more time.She looked at me impatiently and nodded with a smile that was supposed to be polite."Okay." I muttered before making me way out.Just as I had came out from the literature class, the office assistant had stopped me in the hallway asking me to come in the office. According to her, Mr Brown wanted me to see him in his office.He's probably going to ask why I wasn't present in the session yesterday.And I will probably lie."Come in, Ms Pierce." I heard his voice just as I stopped in front of the door.Was he waiting for me all along?Maybe he'll call dad in front of me and make sure I didn't skip lessons next time.Whatever it was, I still made my way inside. The room was just like the other day I came here. The shelf lined with books about sciences and psychology. The clear glass desk with the black globe situated in the corner. And right behind it was Mr Brown seated on the plush green chai

Melody's POV:I jumped in my position when I felt something cold touch my back. Turning around, I glared at Amelia."I was just making sure you didn't loose your sense of touch too." She said narrowing her eyes at me.I lowered my eyes, turning back to the cafeteria's line. I must've got lost in my thoughts again."Is something bothering you?" She asked from behind me.I opened my mouth then shut it close. What guarantee did I have of what my mouth would say? Would she even understand the nightmare I had?"No. I just had little sleep yesterday." I muttered taking a tray.She nodded taking a tray too. When we got seated on one of the cafeteria tables, I took the apple gazing at it."So I heard about the Valentine's Dance the college's having." She said between munching her cookie. "You coming?"I leaned back in my chair, still not taking a bite of my apple. My stomach felt heavy since I woke up. I don't even know if I'll ever have an appetite without looking back at that dream again."

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

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

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

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

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

Melody's POV:"I think that's...more than enough." I said eyeing the amount of flour."No no no. I think it needs more of it." Lana picked up the pack of flour and started adding it in the dough. Which looked a bit rough.I took it from her before it completely fell in the bowl. Not getting the clue that it was a lot, she still stuffed her tiny hands in the dough."Why is it so hard?" She asked before stumbling back at the stool she was standing on. Thankfully, I caught her right in time. But the bad thing was that I kind of lost my footing."Woah-" Asher was right in time to stop me from falling. "-I thought you guys were baking cookies?"Lana straightened up and hopped back on the stool. No wonder she was excited."We were." I poked a finger at the dough. "But someone added a lot of flour."Asher pulled me against him and chuckled."Aw, I thought I was good at baking!" Lana complained with a pout before wrapping her arms around my neck. I wasn't surprised how she liked hugs just like

Melody's POV:When I opened my eyes, I wasn't in that same alley. Or that same street. I didn't have any idea where I was. Except that I was in a car. And the car was driving off to somewhere.It took me minutes before my view adjusted over to the speeding car. Blinking for a while, I straightened up and looked to my left."Cameron?" I heard my voice breaking out the silence.Realization hit me like ice cold water."Didn't think you'd wake up this soon." He muttered before changing the gear and speeding the car.I had to grip my seat from falling over. Looking over at him, I realized how he was the same as I'd last seen him. But then again, he wasn't. Something was different.This wasn't the Cameron who gave me a ride from that disastrous party."What...what are you doing?" I asked, gulping my sudden fear.My head still ached a bit.I saw him give me a glance before back at the road. Both the sides of the road were covered with trees. The night wasn't helping either."I'm finishing it

Melody's POV:When Asher had made me listen to his new songs, I had fallen in love with him. All over again."Can I point out how much talented you actually are?" I asked, taking off the headphones he had given me earlier. Turning around in the chair, I faced him. He was sitting on the grey couch at the corner of the room, waiting for my reaction."Really?"I narrowed my eyes at him."Are you serious? How can you not have any confidence in this?" I asked pointing off to the large screen.He leaned back on the couch with a shrug."I was thinking of not releasing that one." He pointed off to the song I was just listening. The song that made me fall in love with him. Again.My eyes widened at that."I swear to God, I'm not letting you make the biggest mistake of your life." I said.I saw some of his nervousness draining away as a smile twitched on his lips."Biggest mistake?"I turned around before looking at the screen all over again."I'm sorry, Asher, but I'll have to break up with yo

Melody's POV:"So when am I getting a sneak peak on your new album?" I asked as we exited the café.Today was the last day at college, the last day of the semester. Part of me felt sad leaving my friends and part of me was looking forward to the vacations."You aren't." Asher said walking beside me.I frowned and looked at him. "Why not?"He ran a hand through his brown curls. Something felt off about him."Because I'm going through a major case of self doubt right now." He replied.My lips twitched into a smile but I stifled it for his sake."Oh, come on." I nudged his arm lightly. "You and I both know how perfect it's going to be."He looked at me, still in doubt."You haven't even listened to it.""Well, that's why I am asking you to give me a sneak peak." I said with an eye roll.The frown still didn't leave his face. I came in front of him, making him stop."Hey, I swear I would give you a hundred percent honest opinion. If it would be trash, I'll say it's trash."The frown final

Melody's POV:I broke out from my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder."There you are!" Amelia came with a wide grin.I blinked before forcing a smile on my face. Looking back where Asher had been, I didn't see him anywhere. I knew I had to talk to him."Where's everybody else?" I asked her, referring to Selina and Riley."Oh, they're back there." She waved her hand behind her.As if on cue, Riley came followed by Selina."That was some serious performance."I took out my phone, texting Asher.Me: Where did you go?"It would've been, only if that girl beside me hadn't been screaming like shit." Selina said with an eye roll.A part of me wasn't expecting Asher to reply. Not at all. But when I felt my phone vibrate in my hand, I perked up.Asher: Backstage.I didn't see the reason to waste anymore time than I already had."I'll catch a ride back myself. See you guys later." I said with a rush moving towards the backstage. Before I could've, Selina stopped me."Oh no, you're not l

Melody's POV:As expected, dad hadn't taken the news as easy as Amelia had. At first, judging from his expression, I knew he didn't believe me. Thankfully, I had Amelia by my side."Melody, this isn't some kind of joke." He had said, looking between me and Amelia."It isn't, dad." I had told him. "I do remember everything."I had told him about my flashbacks just like I told Amelia. He had been surprised. I knew it would be harder confessing this to him than anybody else. But when he had given me a relieved hug, everything had been worth it.Thankfully, none of us talked about my mother. I was trying my best to forget her. Saying that I didn't miss her would be wrong. I did miss her so much. And I knew this wasn't her fault.But I didn't want to face her above all of this. And I think dad felt the same way."Things could've been worse." Amelia said before sitting down on my bed, beside me.I tried not thinking what worse could be for now."So, what are you wearing for the concert toni

Melody's POV:What I had imagined once I'd get my memory back was everything getting happier and alive once again. For some reason, it turned out to be the exact opposite.Mainly because my missing memory had been gone for a reason. I hadn't been ready. And now that I knew it, I'm sure why I wasn't ready to accept it.But I had promised to try and move on. Everyone had already moved on. Only I was left behind spending my entire weekend with Asher. I hadn't been ready to leave him and face the reality. I was scared what I'll face.Until today.When I went back to my college, I was expecting something different. After all, Riley had been there with me. The girl who can't keep such kind of an incident all to herself. Thinking that she wouldn't have told anyone would be impossible for me.I couldn't blame her.Surprisingly, when I went back, I didn't notice people staring at me. Nobody glanced at me the second time. Everyone looked normal.But once I opened the door to my dorm, I knew I w

Melody's POV:I couldn't help but flinch as harsh sunlight made me open my eyes. My head was pressed lightly against someone's chest. I didn't have to look up to see who it was.I blinked twice before pressing myself closer against him. In response I felt him wrap his arm around me.Seconds passed by until I was sure I couldn't just push all those thoughts away. I didn't want to think about it. Not a single thing.But those thoughts were banging against my skull, wanting to be noticed. I closed my eyes and held onto my breath.Sudden flashes crossed my brain. Everything that I saw yesterday. Everything that I remembered now. I couldn't even imagine myself pulling away from Asher. I wanted to lay still forever.I didn't know what feeling was overwhelming me at this point.Knowing that it was Asher I lied to. It was him who always trusted me and all I did was lie to him.I pulled away and sat up. I don't think I wanted to cry anymore. But something inside me was still crying. I just wan
Just One Hug Seventy Nine
Melody's POV:I saw mom leaving dad. How hard it was for me to choose. I saw myself leaving with mom, knowing it was the best decision. I saw how my life ruined in seconds.I saw myself getting bullied. Getting pushed against the lockers. Seeing myself flinch every time but not standing up to them. People whispering behind my back in school hallways. Looks of disgust at my back.I saw Tyler. The way my eyes shone every time he passed by. His smiles. Him being kind towards me even if everyone hated me. I saw how alive I felt whenever he was around.I saw Jordan. I saw what my life was back at mom's house. I saw her leaving off to another city. I saw myself cowering away whenever Jordan shouted. Alyssa snickering at my state. I saw myself hiding in the basement, covering my wounds. I saw how bad it was when Jordan came home drunk. I could smell the alcohol on him. I could sense the fear inside me. More shouting. Him touching me, punching me, slamming me against the wall.I saw how I tr
