Asher's POV:"No, I won't be able to do that. I need a break." I looked nervously at Bob.Continuous two hours doing recording again and again can be summed up in one word.Boring.The recent single was to be done by now. Bob had been more tensed about it all. After all, he was the manager. But he knew too that I am definitely not a fan of work. What can I say? I tend to take a break after every hour."Well then, we'll continue it tomorrow." Bob said with a sigh.He knew me too well.I directed a grateful smile towards him and went towards the elevator. Pressing the 18th floor, I waited for it to reach.9:00 pm.That's what I had been thinking about during the whole recording. Because that is when I'm going to pick up Melody from the gallery. I don't know why but every part in my body is impatiently waiting to see her.That's what had been going on these past few days.When she had told me that she needed a ride, I felt bad. Really bad. I wanted to be there for her. And I hadn't. So,
Melody's POV:When Amelia said "just the two of us at the lake" she forgot to mention Oliver. Which was totally fine by me.Those two were like real friends to me by now, even if I can't ever believe that. And it was fun spending time together. It's not like I had such experiences.At my old school, I would always hear people making plans to go to parties, the beach or even malls. I was always alone. I don't blame the people either."Is it just me or the lake is actually looking a bit...evaporated?" Oliver asked looking at the beautiful blue water.The lake looked so calm and beautiful. The smell of fresh grass was enough to make me relax. I wish such places were back there in New York. I, at least would had something that could've sooth me."I think my hotness is affecting the level of water here." He murmured which almost made me choke on my coke.Amelia glared at him disgustedly."Who told you you were hot?" She asked.He grinned in response before jerking his head towards her. "Yo
Melody's POV:"Remind me again why you called me here?" Oliver asked with a yawn as he eyed my hotel room.I took a frustrated sigh and started again."Don't tell me to repeat again. It's the third time!" I said nervously.He didn't seem to notice that. After all, I had practically woken him up from sleep and asked him to come here."You just have to stay here when...he wakes up." I motioned towards Asher's sleeping form.Oliver looked at him then at me."And why couldn't you do that?" He asked with a confused expression.The truth was, I didn't want to face him. I didn't want to face everything right now."I have to go to the gallery." I murmured.He thought for a while then nodded. I could've called Amelia but I wasn't sure I could've given her any answers at the moment. Oliver seemed the perfect choice at the moment.Oliver went over to the couch and slumped down."Don't forget to give him that." I jerked my head towards the aspirin on the side table.Oliver who haven't looked more
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
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
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
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
