~ Introduction ~ "But Mom!" I look at my mother in disbelief as she gets into the cab. "Sweetheart please..." She sighs and turns to look at me. "I know you and Asher havent always gotten along but his family was kind enough to let you stay with them for the month while I go on this business trip. You know how important this trip is?" She rubs my arms in a soothing manner as tears fill my eyes. "Just... come back soon, okay?" I sniffle and try to blink my tears away. "I will always come back to you Melody." She smiles at me before getting in the cab. ~~~~~~ Melody James has always been a victim at school and around town. Bullied because her father ran out on her and her mother years ago. Pitied by her neighbors for as long as she can remember. But the worst of all, Asher Hastings, former middle school friend, leads the pack in tormenting Melody's life. But Melody gets to start her summer off by staying with the Hastings, for a whole month! *** Horrible description but I promise it is a lot better!! Hahaha, please give this story a chance!
