Just One Hug Twenty Four
Melody's POV:What I can imagine doing on a Sunday night is cuddling myself on my hotel bed with a good book.But things were quite different.Right now I couldn't even imagine myself inside a really big apartment filled with music, cheers, disco lights and a party atmosphere.But here I was.Taking a deep breath, I looked around.I couldn't even imagine fitting myself here.And don't get me started on the apartment. It was even huger than Julia's bungalow. Girls with short, fitting dresses. Boys with clinking wine glasses.It was enough to bring the panicky feeling inside me if only Asher wouldn't have been here. He wouldn't leave me between such people."Hey Mel, meet Jay." Asher said introducing me to a guy just our age.I looked at him, breaking myself from staring at people, and gave a polite smile as he shook my hand."He's my own personal drummer." Asher said with a smile.He had black hair under the lights and a lean body. Just like most of the boys here, he was wearing jeans
Just One Hug Twenty Five
Melody's POV:"What are you so tensed about?" Asher asked looking at me as he stopped the car in front of the hotel.I don't know how he managed to figure that out. I thought I was good in hiding my emotions. But maybe it was the silence in the whole ride or the way I was fidgeting with my phone again and again."I'm not tensed." I muttered covering my face with my hands.Anybody could pick that lie and then again I wasn't making any move to get out of the car. It was warmer here."You can tell me, you know." He said.I kept silent for a while not sure what exactly to say. Sharing my thoughts was the hardest thing for me. I was used to keeping it within me. But now that I have a chance, it just feels like it won't come out."I messed up." I whispered through my fingers.He was silent for a moment before speaking up."What exactly did you mess up?" He asked in confusion.I frowned and cursed at my brain."I messed up things between Amelia and Oliver." I said as my voice muffled."Wow.
Just One Hug Twenty Six
Melody's POV:A day at mall was fun.It's not like I usually used to go out and do shopping. In fact, back in New York, I really wouldn't ever go. Because only those people went there who had friends to hang out with.But now I realized that it was fun. Especially with Cameron who actually kept on cursing his life for agreeing me to take here.But I enjoyed it.I exited the elevator of my hotel and walked in the hallway leading to my room. Looking up at my door I realized I wasn't alone in the whole hallway."Amelia." I whispered stopping in my tracks.She looked up from the phone at me as the frown subsided from her face."I-I thought you were inside and not opening. On purpose." She said softly.She looked tired and sad at the same time."Why would I not open?" I asked her as I moved towards the door.I was trying to act normal even if I felt really happy that she came to see me."Because I was mean to you?" She asked.I took out the keys and inserted it in the keyhole while opening
Just One Hug Twenty Seven
Melody's POV:It almost felt like flying. Except, I was falling.I shut my eyes tightly not sure if I'll really fall on the ground. And just when I thought I was about to meet the ground, I fell in his arms.Phew! I really thought I would be a mess of cracked bones."See? I told you I'd catch you." He murmured.I opened my eyes as he put me on the ground. I could almost feel that adrenaline rush inside me."I could've come from the stairs." I said dusting my jeans.He turned and looked around."What would be the fun in that?" He asked almost to himself.I don't know why but something felt different with him today. I couldn't just put my finger on it."Come on." He said before I could say anything.I opened my mouth but closed it when he started moving forward. I guess I had no choice but to follow him.°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°"Wow." I whispered looking at the beautiful reflection of moonlight. "It's more beautiful at night."I don't know why we were here at the hill looking do
Just One Hug Twenty Eight
Melody's POV:"Can I ask you something?" Asher asked after a while.We had been completely silent for about five minutes staring into the night sky. It felt so good being here. I don't know what the time was but it was probably somewhere after midnight."Yeah?" I questioned.He seemed to think for a while before finally asking."Do you like Cameron?" He asked slowly.I just had a feeling that the question would be something like that. I didn't even have to think for the answer."Kind of." I lied with a nod.We had been sitting side by side again as I looked at the lake beneath us. I could almost make out the frown on his face."I'm just kidding. He's a great friend." I said with a smile."So you like him as a friend?" He asked with the starting of a smile.I just nodded."Does that mean you like me too?"I looked at him in surprise before realizing what he actually said. I was glad it was dark out here and he couldn't see my face flaming up."Sure, as friends." I added.I heard him sn
Just One Hug Twenty Nine
Melody's POV:"Do it.""I won't.""Just do it.""I said, I won't.""Oh, just make them shut up!" I exclaimed suddenly.Amelia looked at me from her couch giving me an odd look."Why are you even watching that? They're wearing my ears off." I muttered with a frown looking at the TV.Grace giggled at my words while coloring her drawings on the floor."Who said to listen to them? Just look at how hot they are." She said turning back to the screen.I looked at her unbelievably. Is she even allowed to say such things in front of her little sister?"Fine! I'll play a movie or something." She said when I hit her arm.She took out the DVDs flipping through them. While Grace stood up, took her handiwork and went upstairs. That was my queue."Can I ask you something?" I asked after a while.She looked up from the pile of jumbled up DVDs and raised a brow in question."What if...there's someone who is trapped between two things. A wall and her friend. She knows that if she walks over to the wall
Just One Hug Thirty
Melody's POV:I was still frozen at my spot even though I can hear the clicking of heels coming closer. Before the person could've found me standing there and probably throw me out of the building, I opened the nearest door and went inside. Those were my first instincts.I closed the door behind me hearing the footsteps retreat. I took a sigh of relief but held it back in when I noticed where I was.Right in front of me was a puzzled looking Asher.I mean, I was kind of relieved that I made it to him without dying but as the situation sank in I realized that I hadn't been more nervous than this.Judging from the look on his face he looked pretty surprised to see me too."Melody? What are you doing here?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows.He probably must have thought that I wouldn't come, right? After all he asked me to come at evening not...night. But it wasn't my fault. If only I hadn't been stuck with that makeup artist.I fidgets with my hand on the door knob not sure what to say.
Just One Hug Thirty One
Melody's POV:Sometimes I wish a person had the full control of it's life in it's own hands. Wouldn't that be perfect? You decide your own future. You could've done anything thinking that the consequences were totally in your hands. Life would've been amazing."Hey Mel." Cameron said leaning on my desk as I placed the painting in a bag giving to the girl with the red hair."You look worked up, Cameron." I said looking at his sleepy eyes.It almost made me yawn looking at them."That's because I am worked up." He concluded.I wiped my hands on my apron and sat down on my chair blowing out a sigh."So I was just wondering...if we go out to a bar or something." He asked suddenly.I looked at him. I'm sure something was definitely wrong."Why would you want that?" I asked narrowing my eyes."Maybe that's how Daphne will come along too. She won't come if it's only me, you know." He added with sad eyes.He's such an actor."You're falling badly for her, Cam. It could possibly ruin you menta
