Just One Hug Eighty Seven
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
Just One Hug Prologue
Melody's POV:I shrinked back against the metal door.He won't find me here. He'll think I went away. He will forget it. He will go back.All I could hear in this crappy basement was the sound of my heartbeat ringing in my ears and the sound of my rushed breathing.I closed my eyes wrapping my arms tightly around my knees. I had been in this situation many times, but I was still scared. Just like always.One minute passed.Then two...Then thr-"You think you can hide here?" He shouted from the door.I was starting to think he won't come, but once again I was wrong. He did find me.I froze at my position hoping he wouldn't see me behind the door. His footsteps echoed as he moved forward making my heart almost leap out of my chest. When his footsteps stopped, a feather of hope danced inside me.I slowly opened my eyes hoping he went away, only to see him right in front of me with an evil smirk. The smirk that always scared me. It'll always scare me.I stood up with my weak legs as fast
Just One Hug One
Melody's POV:I am going to runaway."Melody! You bitch. I told you to wash these plates!" Alyssa shrieked from downstairs.I shut my eyes, covering my ears with my hands.She screamed a bit more, but then stopped. I think she got tired shouting so much and getting no response.Alyssa is my step sister. My mother married my step dad when Dad left her. No, actually she left him. I was so broken by the divorce that I just chose to live with Mom.And I guess that was my biggest mistake. She was mostly out of city or country as she was always working on her clothing boutique. That left me with my step dad, Jordan, and stepsister, Alyssa.I used to have fun in my life. I thought Alyssa would be cool as I never had a sister. I thought we would have fun, laugh, maybe braid each other's hair. Be best friends. But she wasn't a sister. She made my life a living hell. Made me wash clothes, dishes, cook and everything a maid would do.You must be thinking why I even agree? I agree because I have
Just One Hug Two
Melody's POV:I looked at Asher with my mouth slightly opened and wide eyes. While he just stared back at me, not even denying what he just said."You meant that as a joke." I said, finding back my tongue.It wasn't a question. Because even if he meant that, I wanted him to know that it will never happen. More like a command.I was giving a command."No." He said still staring right into my eyes.His hazel eyes were sparkling which was making me think he said that as a joke. I wasn't in a mood for jokes.After a minute of silence, I thankfully found my voice back."Do you even know what you are saying?" I asked.He nodded."Y-you cannot come with me." I said with a hard voice.His lack of answers was literally freaking me out. He raised one of his brows in confusion.Oof! Why doesn't he look a bit...ugly?"Who says that?" He asked tilting his head.I was literally freaking out deep within me. The thought of him or anybody else with me was not good."I am saying that." I said trying my
Just One Hug Three
Melody's POV:"N-no! Please, don't!" The screams roamed inside my head, making my head dizzy. Swallowing me inside a big dark hole.I felt his hand coming towards me. I closed my eyes out of complete horror.I felt his hand on my arm with a steel grip commanding me to open my eyes. To see what he is about to do.But I can't.I can't.....I opened my eyes with a jerk only to find warm sunlight welcoming me in a comfortable hug.I was in a car. Which was moving.I looked beside me to see a person looking ahead at the road and driving with a grim expression on his face.I rubbed my palms lightly on my eyes noticing the leather jacket around my shoulders. If somebody else would've been in my place, I'm sure they would've freaked out at the moving car and the isolated road.But I knew it was just Asher.I pulled the jacket closer to me as cold morning wind blew on my face.The jacket smells like mint. Do Asher smells like that too?I am really creepy. Why in the world am I thinking ab
Just One Hug Four
Melody's POV:"Why are you looking at your phone like it might grow a nose?" Asher asked looking at me curiously, instead of the road ahead."I am not." I said, still looking at my phone.To be honest, he was actually right. I had been stealing glances at the screen from time to time waiting for a call or message. I was hoping for a call from Mom. Or maybe...Tyler.I mean he called once. Couldn't he call back?Couldn't you call back?I fidgeted with my fingers thinking about it."Okay." He said going back to concentrate on the road.I scrolled through the missed calls again and again.What will my mother do? Will she stop looking for me? Will she give up? Will she ask Jordan? Will she ask Alyssa? Would she believe their lies? What if she believes?"Don't think too hard. It might burst your head." He hummed the words in a tune.I looked at him unbelievably.This guy is extremely crazy...He pursed his lips, not looking at me, controlling his laughter. I took the nearest thing which was
Just One Hug Five
Melody's POV:Birds were chirping beautiful melodious songs. The swish swish of leaves against each other providing a comforting sound. The smell of fresh leaves and grass and mint. It was just so comforting.Wait...what? Did I just say mint?I opened my eyes quickly only to freeze at my spot completely.Not because of the place I was or the numerous amount of those beautiful birds.Because I was completely snuggled against Asher. With no exaggerations whatsoever.He smells like mint.I mentally slapped my brain so hard it almost popped out of my skull.He was leaning against a tree while I was leaning against him as one of his arms was wrapped around me. My inner self was begging to forget it and close my eyes and enjoy it till I can. But I couldn't.I pulled away his arm slowly and stepped out. He stirred in his sleep but didn't wake up. I moved back trying to keep as much distance between us as I can.I can't help it! I was freaking out.Why? Well, because I, Melody Pierce, never h
Just One Hug Six
Melody's POV:Friends. That what I thought I'd never make. But I guess my life had different plans.I looked at the beautiful antique shop with golden encrusting on it's entrance door.Mom loved antique things. Like vases, door hangings, decorations. The moment I saw this shop, Mom came in my head. But it's not like I can buy anything for her. She's far away from me. She doesn't know where I am. She would never know. What would an antique piece do?I sighed and started walking ahead.I had been looking around the whole neighborhood. I mean, I'm living here. I should look around.I might just have taken two steps when I heard fast footsteps behind me. I turned with a jerk as my gut told me too.And then what? I slammed into someone really bad.I would've fallen right on the ground embarrassing myself in front of these strangers but thankfully, the person caught my arm balancing me on my foot."Oh God! I'm so sorry!" The person in front of me said in a truly apologetic voice.I looked a
