CHAPTER 13
Melanie entered the house slowly, it was past 12am.
She walked to her room and shut the door gently, she went to her bed and laid on it, staring into space.
A tear slipped out of the corner of her eyes and she didn’t bother to wipe it off.
Her phone rang, she didn’t care to glance at it. She just wasn’t herself at that moment.
Her phone kept ringing and she had no choice but to pick it since it was her Mom calling.
“Melanie, are you okay? I’ve been calling your number without you picking up” Mrs. Brown rushed.
“Mom,” Melanie whispered as tears trickled down her cheeks.
“What’s wrong? Were you sleeping? I’m sorry if I…”
“It hurts,” Melanie sobbed.
“Are you crying? Baby, talk to me!”
“My heart…” Melanie cried loudly as her phone fell from her hand to the bed.
Her hand went to her chest, hitting it at intervals as she cried her heart out.
“Melanie? Baby? Talk to your Mom, please!” Mrs. Brown’s voice kept yelling on the other side.
Her voice sounded distant in Melanie’s ears as she was lost in her own world, her world of pain.
Melanie cried throughout that night without sleeping a wink.

THE NEXT DAY**
Axel came out of his room putting on a mask, he was dressed in his usual outfit.
He glanced at Melanie’s door and his mind drifted to last night.
He could hear her cries as it was so loud throughout the night.
“Why would you date someone like Ace in the first place?” He shook his head and went out of the house.

Melanie was still lying in bed, her face was puffy and her eyes were very red. There were visible eyebags beneath her eyes.
Her mind went to the discussion she had with the stranger the previous day.

“How did you end up here?” He asked, taking his attention back to his phone.
“Actually, I was with my boyfriend and…”
“He dumped you here?” He cuts her off, staring at her.
“No. He needed to attend to something so…”
“He left you here. What’s the difference?” He muttered.
Melanie bit her lips.
“So dumb”

“He was right, I’m so dumb. I should have known then” Melanie mumbled to herself.
She sat up and cleaned her face with her hands. She picked her phone to find a lot of missed calls from Ace, Paisley never called her, not even once.
She dropped the phone on the bed and stood up gently. She made her way to the bathroom and rinsed her face, staring at her pitiful self in the mirror.
She took her eyes away and managed to bathe before dressing up because she had a class by 10pm.

MONASH UNIVERSITY***
“Melanie!” Lauren screamed when Melanie entered the class.
“C’mon!” Lauren waved her to come over.
Melanie walked to her slowly and sat beside her.
“What happened? I was actually worried thinking you’ll miss your class today, the Lecturer will be here soon” Lauren said.
Melanie didn’t say anything as she rested her head on the table.
“What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” Lauren asked.
The Lecturer entered and Lauren kept quiet. Melanie raised her head from the table and tried her best to listen attentively to the Lecturer.
