Just One Hug Nineteen
Melody's POV:345,600 seconds. 5,760 minutes. 96 hours. 4 days. 9 calls.4 days since I last saw Asher. Whole 9 calls I didn't answer because I was scared. I wanted so much to answer them, call him back, see him. But my fingers seemed to always reject them."Did I tell you that I once had a whole collection of seashells?" Amelia murmured looking out the window.I looked at her and shook my head. That was the first thing she had said since she came here. She looked quite distant today as if something was bothering her."Well, I did. When I was small. But mom threw them away." She said.I smiled and sat on my bed.Amelia's life seemed so perfect. The things she told me about her sister, her mom. I wish I had something to tell her too."So, how's the gallery going?" She asked sitting in front of me."Good. The same." I said with a nod.She nodded and slumped down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. I don't know why everything was being so awkward between us today. I could've asked her
Just One Hug Twenty
Melody's POV:My heart was hammering in my chest as I registered those exact words.Asher in an accidentI looked back at Amelia and Oliver who were both still buried in their conversation. The call had ended itself. I didn't know what to do.What if he isn't fine? I didn't know what had happened to him. She had only told me that he got involved in an accident. She didn't tell me the hospital name or anything. It wouldn't have helped me anyways. I don't even know any hospital here.I looked around once more before running out from the park. I know only one place I can go. Maybe somebody can tell me what happened to him there. His studio.But that was a bit hard when it was all dark. I could've asked a ride from Amelia or Oliver but I wasn't really in a mood to get in between their talk when all I can think about is Asher.I looked around looking for a cab.The night air was slightly chilly than the morning one. I wrapped my arms around myself as I walked forward in search of a cab.F

Melody's POV:I looked at him as realization dawned upon me.He did that."What?" I asked. "How could you?"I was so freaking scared. How could he just make it up like it was a funny joke?"I thought you were in a real accident!" I exclaimed.His smirk fell from his face as he realized what he had done."Do you even know how scared I was?" I asked trying my best not to actually cry right now.I thought I'd lose him. The way that woman had told me. I had practically run here all the way. He thought this was funny?I know I should be more relieved that he was fine afterall but a part of me was really angry. Angry at him. Not just because of this. But because of everything. Because of the past few days.He came closer and wiped the tear that had fallen down my face as his thumb caressed my cheek softly."How was I supposed to talk to you? You wouldn't even pick my calls." He said softly.At that moment I realized that I shouldn't be angry at him. I should be angry at myself. I was the on
Just One Hug Twenty Two
Melody's POV:Just when I thought that everything is fine now, it wasn't. Life had planned quite a lot bad turns for me.It all started when I realized that I had completely forgotten about Amelia. I had been too involved in my own problem that I completely forgot about her. I felt really bad.So I called her. Not once, but twice. But she didn't pick up.I decided to pay her house a visit before going to the gallery. I remembered where her house was and I was really hoping things had worked out fine for her."Melody! It's so good to see you, dear." Her mother answered the door. "Oh, come inside."I followed her inside with a polite smile because it was getting a bit chilly standing outside.The house was much more cozy with the cinnamon scent I loved. Her mother politely gestured for me to settle myself."I just wanted to see Amelia?" I asked her.She looked upstairs and then at me with a smile."Sure dear. But, she didn't seem in a good mood. I'm sure she'll feel better if you'll be
Just One Hug Twenty Three
Melody's POV:Another call. Again it went to voicemail."Amelia, it's Melody. I-I'm sorry for whatever happened. Please just call back when you hear this. I really am sorry." I said before hearing the beep.Placing it back on my bed I looked out at the morning sun. I wish my life wasn't this complicated. Normal would sound perfect to me. I really wish Amelia would understand. I was just trying to help her not make matters worse.Picking my phone again I dialed Asher's number. He was the only one who I could talk to about this.I wonder how many of his fans would go crazy if they get his number like I have?I felt proud of that. Only I get to keep his number. Then again, I wasn't his fan, was I? But he was special to me. If I hadn't met him, I would still be there or probably lost."Hello?" A girl's voice answered.I scrunched up my nose thinking whether I dialed the wrong number or was I dreaming. Seriously, here I was thinking he doesn't give his number to his fans!"Hello? Can I tal
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
