บททั้งหมดของ Just One Hug: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Melody's POV:"Pinch me, Mel." Amelia said in almost a whisper.I looked at her in confusion. Was she really asking me to pinch her or was I wrong? I brought my hand towards her arm and pinched her."Ow!" She complained looking at me."What? You asked me to pinch you." I replied.She rolled her eyes as a big smile formed on her face which was just frowning right now. I didn't even know what was the actual matter behind her happiness."Just tell me what I'm watching is real." She whispered in awe.I followed her gaze which was, in my opinion, towards a baby pink jumper for puppies. It would've been cute if it weren't of the amount of glitter on it."I guess so." I said.Amelia ran over to it turning it back and forth to check its size. I walked over to her pulling Hazel along."God, it's so beautiful! Daisy would love it." She said excitedly.All I could feel was a little sympathetic to that poor pup."I thought you didn't like pink anymore." I said with a nervous smile.She shrugged l

Melody's POV:Pain.Shards of glass piercing through my chest. It felt like my soul was tearing apart in pieces. Not because I was dying. I didn't even know if I was dead or alive.All I could feel was the pain.The pain of everything in my life. It felt like it had somehow increased hundred times. I felt the pain of seeing my family break apart. Leaving my Dad. Living with my step dad. Feeling that burden of work. The pain of the blows, punches and kicks I got. The blood. The whimpers. His hand touching me.It was as if I was going through it again somehow.I could feel the pain of my tears. The pain when my whole body trembled with fear.I want to forget it.The pain when I went to school. When people passed me glares. Looks which made me feel pathetic. Loneliness.I need to forget it.When I used to come back to feel that all over again. The pain when my own mother never listened to me. The pain of that blade against my skin.Forget it, Melody.The pain of running away and leaving

Melody's POV:I felt weak and sick. Like I hadn't eaten anything for weeks or even tasted water for months. I had no idea where I was. It smelled like medicine and that beeping sound. It all made me more sick."How are you feeling, Melody?" A voice came from behind me.Somebody took my wrist and pressed it slightly. Maybe to check the pulse rate. I moved my head and saw a woman in blue scrubs passing me a gentle smile and keeping my wrist down. She looked like a...nurse.This place was weird. I lifted my head to make myself sit up. I wanted to see where I was. What this place was. When the nurse saw me trying, she supported me and I leaned my back against the pillow with a slight groan. My whole body felt numb.This was strange. A hospital room. Why was I here? I looked around and saw a doctor going through some file with a frown. The light was too bright and was stinging in my eyes."What...where.." I opened my mouth.My throat felt dry. Hearing my own voice felt strange. Like I've n

Melody's POV:I looked myself in the mirror for the fiftieth time. Grey eyes, brown hair. How come I feel so strange? Why can't I remember my own face?I let out a sigh of frustration and pulled my hair up in a ponytail. This wasn't helping at all. Nothing was helping."Anything I can help with?" A voice came from the doorway.I jerked my head towards the door in surprise and saw Lucy standing there with a warm smile. Lucy was supposed to be my stepmother, or that's what Dad had told me. I wanted to ask where my real mother was, but I had a feeling I wouldn't like the answer to that. What if she's dead? I wouldn't even know how to feel when I've never even seen her."No. I'm fine." I said as my voice wavered a bit.Lucy was a nice woman and I really didn't care why my dad married another woman. She was caring, just like a mother should be. But a part of me didn't want to trust her."You shouldn't be too hard on yourself, Melody." She said with something as pity in her voice.I clenche

Melody's POV:That girl. It was me. That girl was Melody. Her eyes were the same as mine. It was as if I had just looked inside a mirror. That girl was me, but I don't remember doing any of that."I'm asking you something." He said.His voice pulled me back into the reality. He looked nowhere near that boy. That boy was so happy. His eyes were so happy. This one didn't, they looked empty."What?" I asked.Asher. But what was he doing here? What was going on with me? How could I see people who just disappear into thin air? "I asked you what you are doing here?" He asked.I looked at him in confusion. There was this strange feeling inside me when I looked at him. He looked at me like he didn't want me here."I...don't know." I said as my voice dropped into a whisper.I wanted to tell him what I just saw. My insides were screaming to tell him. "You shouldn't be here." He said in a firm voice.I inhaled a shudder and wrapped my arms around myself. I'm going to tell him. "You were so h
