[pendulous threads]

[pendulous threads]

FINALLY! ANOTHER CHAPTER! ^_^

Chapter Fifteen: Diary

"Cliff come on! Let me sleep!" I laughed. He tickled the bottom of my feet again, and I broke out into a girly fit of laughter. "Seriously, Cliff. If you don't stop I'll make you sleep on the couch!" He gasped and quickly laid down, and pretended like he was sleeping. I also drifted off to sleep...

I woke the next morning to find Cliff had rolled quite a bit and was now laying across my legs so I couldn't move. I didn't want to wake him up so I laid there for a while. I finally got tired of waiting, and yelled, "Cliff, wake up!"

Cliff rubbed his eyes and realized he was laying on my legs. He then laughed, "Sorry, I roll a lot." I smirked and got off the bed. Cliff did the same and went into the bathroom to get ready for work. Once he kissed me and left I went over and sat at the table.

"I'm so bored..." I sighed, glancing around the room. I decided to clean out my dresser since it was getting quite filled up, and messy. I sat on the floor and started with my sock drawer. I matched up all the socks and stacked the neatly back inside. I moved onto the next drawer which was filled with books and papers. I came across one labeled, "Diary."

I opened the small booklet and found my mothers handwriting inside. I flipped a couple pages and then started to read.

Summer 4th, 2002

Dear Diary,
Melody and I have been fighting a lot lately. It makes me feel bad to yell at her, but I need to get my point through her head. I don't want her seeing that Richard boy. I have heard to many bad rumors about him. The most horrible thing happened today. I went to the stream and saw Daniel walking up to town with another woman! I hope he isn't cheating on me.

Summer 9th, 2002

Dear Diary,
Turns out that Melody is going to have a baby! I'm excited to be a grandmother, yet so disappointed in my daughter. Only 14 years old! I knew that Richard boy was a scum bag. It also turns out that Daniel is cheating on me! Yesterday I saw him at the super market with that woman again. I watched them for a while and then he kissed her. Then a little boy ran up and said, "Bye daddy!" I can't believe it. My life is falling to pieces, and there isn't anything I can do about it.

Summer 12th, 2002

Dear Diary,
Melody had a miscarriage. I can't believe her baby died. I feel so bad for her. She has been weeping constantly. Almost everyday now I see Daniel with that woman and their son! I am getting really jealous!

Summer 15th, 2002

Dear Diary,
Oh no, what have I done? I killed Daniel with one of our kitchen knifes, and threw him in the stream! I feel so horrible. The worst part is Melody was walking home from Richards house, and saw him floating down the stream. I had to put on an act so she wouldn't know I killed him. Oh no, what have I done to him?

Summer 21st, 2002

Dear Diary,
I have just made the toughest decision of my life. I am going to kill myself tomorrow. I can't believe what I did to Daniel, and it's not worth living with the guilt. Please, Lord, watch over Melody. Take care of her and raise her well. She deserves so much better than a murderer for a mother.

Mother killed father? No, this isn't true, please tell me it isn't. I slammed the diary shut and started to sob and Cliff walked into the house.

"You witch! How could you do this to me?" I cried. I threw the diary across the room and it hit the wall with a large "thud." Cliff rushed over and tried to calm me down. "WITCH! I'll never forgive you, ever!"

"Melody, it's okay!" Cliff said, trying to stay calm. "Please, calm down Melody." He tried to hug me but I pushed him away.

"God, that stupid witch ruined my whole life!" I screamed out. "I hate her, I HATE her!"

[fxeni]

Wow... quite the twist

I like how we got to see a bit of what happened to Melody in the past ^_^

[Firehead]

What a twist!

[pendulous threads]

Yeah, I really liked it too. The weird thing is my step mom thought of it. It's scary to think she has such an imagination.

[Firehead]

But thats good ^^

[pendulous threads]

Thanks, Here is another chapter. I need to get writing again. Huh...

Chapter Sixteen: Stupid People

"STUPID MOTHER, STUPID RICHARD, STUPID BETTY, STUPID GRAY..." I screamed throughout the house. "I HATE ALL OF THEM! LIFE RUINERS!" Cliff looked terrified, and I could tell he had no clue what to do.

"Please, calm down Melody!" he cried to me. I turned to look at him, but all I could do was glare. "Please calm down." He stepped towards me but I backed away. I quickly ran out of the house, tears streaming down my cheeks. I ran past the blacksmith's where I could see Gray looking at me he walked out.

I ran onto the beach and collapsed on the sand, sobbing. I laid on my back and looked up at the sky which was turning dark with rain clouds. It soon was pouring down rain, but I didn't care. I let it soak me, and repeatedly fall onto me.

"...Melody!" I could hear Cliff call in the distance. He was at the square calling for me, but I didn't care. Gray soon appeared over me and looked at me with concern.

"You okay?" he asked. I quickly sat up and stood to face him. The rain mixed with my tears and I looked into his eyes.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" I asked angrily. "I just read my dead mothers diary and found out she killed my father because he was cheating on her! But yeah, I'm absolutely fine!" Gray put his hands on my shoulders and stood me so I was looking directly into his eyes.

"Everything will be okay." he said softly. "You have wonderful friends, and a great boyfriend. Everything will be fine." I shook my head back and forth and started to sob uncontrollably.

"No, nothing will be the same." I cried. "Nothing will be the same knowing my mother did such a horrible thing. God, I loved her so much, yet wasn't ever greatful to her." I looked down at the wet sand. "I should have listened to her about Richard...I should have listened. The pieces of my past have finally come to tear me apart."

"No, you have to stand strong." Gray said, shaking me slightly. "Don't let this ruin you, Melody!" I looked back up into his eyes, and I could see them pleading me to fight the past. "Please, don't let it ruin you." I smiled weakly and said, "Okay." I hugged him quickly.

"There is someone looking for you." he said, motioning towards the square. "He's going insane trying to find you." I then felt a stab of guilt. Cliff loved me so much, and yet I had pushed him away from me earlier. I ran up the stairs and saw Cliff sitting on a bench in the rain, staring at the ground.

I slowly walked over and as soon as he spotted me he got up and swept me into his arms.

"Oh my God." he whispered. "Are you okay? I have been so worried...I shouldn't have let you run out the door and..." I hushed him by giving him a long kiss. Once we broke apart I looked over and saw Gray smile at us as he made his way up the stairs from the beach.

"I'm really sorry Cliff." I apologized. "I...I got to upset and ran. It wasn't your fault." I looked into his eyes and smiled at their warmth.

"I'm just glad you're okay." he said, letting out a sigh. I took his hand and we started to walk home.

"Today was one messed up day Cliff." I started. "I read mothers diary, only to find she murdered father. He was cheating on her, and had another family even." I shook my head slowly, and we walked the rest of the way home in silence.

[Firehead]

Awww

[pendulous threads]

Yeah, I don't know if she should end up with Gray or not. He seems so nice...*smacks head* NO! SHE HAS TO BE WITH CLIFF! Oh my, I'm fighting with myself over HM characters...

[Firehead]

Hmm, maybe, Melodys doughter could go out with Grays son! If Gray and Mary got married
