Chapter 25: Aria of Broken Dreams and Summer Nights

I found Melissa walking away from the back ground of the building, when I reached her I was panting from running. I grabbed the back of her silk shirt and whirled her around ready to pounce her any minute. She looked surprised but that was replaced with a very knowing and sly smirk when she realized it was me.

‘’Violet, you don’t look too good.’’

‘’Cut the crap! You did it didn’t you? Don’t dare to lie!’’ I cried out, not letting go of the strong grip I had on her arm. Her smirk widened; she was clearly enjoying herself.

‘’I don’t need to lie Violet.’’

‘’What did you do? Answer me!’’ She pushed away my hand; taking a few steps back she crossed her arms over her chest looking rather amused.

‘’Well isn’t it clear to you? I thought you were smart enough for this but in the end you still fell in Oliver’s trap, he is pretty persuasive after all.’’ Even though I had come to accept the truth, I had decided to believe that he deceived me. Everything was right in front of me, laid like a perfect script; her words still hurt me and brought me a great amount of pain.

I wiped away few stray tears from my face and looked back at her with my gaze filled with hatred and disgust. I had hated Melissa for some time now but my emotions had never been this strong before, this time they had crossed the limits, it was too much for me or the band.

‘’Oliver was lying, don’t you get it Violet, we did plan things to kick you guys out but you played half of the role by believing in him. What did you think uh? You were suddenly some poor Disney princess and he was in love with you?’’ She sneered,

‘’You-‘’

‘’Don’t push yourself much Violet. I can clear things for you. Oliver called you at the bar because I asked him to,’’ she said, ‘’ about that email; that was a tricky part.’’

‘’You changed the email as well!? But how…’’

She laughed, a sick high pitched sound that rang in my ear like a death march, ‘’Ling, he is a genius hacker, I asked him to hack both yours and Flynn’s accounts. We just changed the name of the song. Pretty convenient eh?’’

It took me a moment to completely digest that information, they had played it dirty…more than I had ever expected of her. My friends were not talking to me; they lost trust in me because of them. My heart was broken thanks to Oliver’s treachery. Were they willing to go this far…?

‘’Why did you do this?’’ I asked her, my voice was trembling from anger,

‘’I am not stupid enough to let go of this chance; you guys were going forward too fast. You were the only thing in the way. It was a challenge between us, remember? I just did what I was supposed to do.’’

‘’You bitch!’’ I spat and without thinking I lunged at her like w wild cat. Melissa was taken off guard yelped as she fell butt-faced on the muddy ground and I landed on her, wildly I raised my fist and landed a good punch on her face. She squealed even though no good damage happened on her face. Much to my dismay…

Feeling I wasn’t satisfied, I raised my fist once more, only a hand caught it in mid air and yanked me and up, and away from Melissa. Turning, I came face to face with Oliver Parker.

Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Melissa getting up and muttering curses at me before scurrying away as fast as possible. I wasn’t sure what I felt when I saw him. Melancholy? Heartbreak? Frustration? Anger?
