Our Secret Melody✓

Lyric: One

Melrose POV:

"Congratulations!"

"We're so proud of you sweetie, you worked so hard for this!"

"Thanks, Mom...Dad...thank you for supporting me all these years, I know at first you didn't want me to pursue this career. But I'm glad you accepted what I wanted to do in the end. I really couldn't ask for better parents, I love you guys." 

I cried out in joy at them while giving them both a hug. With tears coming down my mother's face and my father giving me a heartful smile. I couldn't be any happier than I am now!

I finally graduated from college and got my cosmetology license! It's always been my dream to work with make-up and be part of the beauty community! Though I hope that maybe one day I'll get to have my own beauty salon one day. So for now, I'll work hard to achieve that goal! However, I am going to miss this university along with my classmates and teachers. But I guess life does go on for everyone...I'm very happy that I got to go to this school.

"Samantha! Put your phone down and congratulate your sister, she worked hard for this. Honestly, all you ever do is have your eyes glued to that phone of yours." 

My father voiced out sternly as he looked over at my little sister. Despite her almost being an adult we still treat her like a child who still needs to be taught how to be responsible,

"I'm doing something important okay, Dad. Mel, congrats on finally leaving this school. It just sucks that I must share the room with you again." 

Samantha said annoyingly with a playful smile as she put her phone away while hugging me. I almost forgot that I'll be moving back home, this whole time I've been living in the dorms. I've grown so used to having my own space, oh Well...it was nice while it lasted.  After we were done embracing she wasted no time going back to look at her phone. Just what is she doing that is so important?

"What kind of congrats is that? Honestly, Sam, you have to-"

"It's okay Mom, let Sam be a teenager for a little while longer. I mean she does have one more year of high school left." I said to my mother as we all began to leave the school grounds and head towards my Dad's car.

"Sweetie you can't always protect your sister, she has to grow up and start being responsible." Mother said as she held my hand.

"You know I'm right here, I could hear everything you're saying, Mom..." 

Samantha said in annoyance as she walked past us with a pout on her face as she waited by the car soon after. Mother and I couldn't help but giggle a bit...

"Oh! Honey, the gift!" 

My father suddenly worded out as he patted my shoulder while looking at my mother.

"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot, Melrose dear. You're father and I got you something that we hope you'll like. But first, close your eyes." Mother said as she stood right in front of me next to Dad.

"Uhh, okay..." 

I responded hesitantly while slowly closing my eyes. I soon felt a cool light chain wrapping around my neck and knew right away that it was probably a necklace.

"Okay, you could open your eyes now!" 

My Mother voiced out in excitement, Quickly opening my eyes I looked around my clavicle and couldn't help but burst into tears. Touching the necklace carefully, I was completely taken aback by how beautiful it was, it came in two sets. One necklace was in the shape of a heart locket while the other necklace was an adorable little key. My father even showed me that the only way to take off the heart necklace was by unlocking it with the key that it came with.
