Melanie's Perspective

God I can't wait to go home with Andy, it's been so long since I've been out side let alone out of this damn room, I was sitting on my bed looking around to make sure I had everything just 30 more minutes and I'm out of this place hopefully for good, I don't know what I would do if I ever had to come back... but I'm not going to think of that, I heard a knock on the door and than an plump older lady came in "he there Melanie, hears your pill you have to take, I'll give the bottle to Andy, you have to take it three times a day with food" she gave me the pill and a cup of water then headed out the door closing it behind her, I took the pill and flopped down on the bed it's hard to believe i have been hear two years it seems like two days ago I saw my mom shoot herself, just thinking of that brought tears to my eye's and they were soon rolling down my cheeks. I heard another knock at the door then it opened "Hey" a familiar deep voice said quietly, I shot up fast and ran at him with a hug its the first time in two and a half years I've been able to communicate I usually just whispered to Andy, his strong arms wrapped around my tiny torso "I missed you so much Andy" I said hugging him tighter "I missed you too Mel", we let go and headed to the reception desk and signed me out "you sure you have everything?" he asked I nodded "yep" *pops the P* then the voice in the back of my head whispered 'you don't have your blade, they took your blade' I ignored that voice... for now.


We got back to the house, it was the same as when I left nothing has changed "okay go and grab the rest of the things you need and i'll grab the other stuff" Andy smiled at me I took a deep breath and walked up the stairs to my old room I packed up all my posters, all the wall decals, pillows ect, I walked out to got to my bathroom to pack up my bathroom supplies, but on my way I passed our moms room I looked in and it was untouched (I couldn't find an image without a person in it so ignore the fact shes there) tears formed in my eyes as I stood there looking into the room I fell to my knees and made a thump "Mel?" I heard Andy call but I couldn't find the words to answer him I just let out a choked sob, I heard something drop and feet race up the stairs "Melanie!" I heard him exclaim before running over to me and wrapping me in his arms "hey its okay, I know it hurts Mel, I know" he soothed "I-I ca-cant believe she's gone" I cried harder he helped me up and brought me down the stairs and sat me on the couch "you stay hear i'll be down in 20 min's with the rest of our things" he commanded and I did as I was told, I sat there for about 15 min's before he came back down with mine and his bags "ready to go?" he asked double checking that we had EVERYTHING I nodded and headed to the car.

Half way home I started panicking a little Andy must have noticed because before loge he was pulled over and I was being forced to drink water "calm down sweaty shhh its okay" he said stroking my back "I'm so-sorry" I choked "For what?" confusion floating in his voice "fo-for being a psychop-path" he gave me a look "listen to me you are NOT a psychopath" he said sternly "yeh I am I got put in a mental hospital for two years" Andy sighed "you got put there because you were cutting and trying to kill yourself" he tried to comfort "exactly I'm a psychopath" he got a bit angrier "listen to me, damn it Mel, you watched our fucking mother shot her self, it's not your fault I should have taken you out of the room before you saw anything" he said in a angry voice I just cried harder god I wish I had my blade but they took it away so I cant use it fuck them "come one Ash is waiting for us at the house" my eye's lit up "Ashley?!?!" I practicality screamed "oh my god I haven't scene him in FOREVER" I said more happier, he smiled at my sudden outburst of happiness.

We arrived at the house and as soon as I entered the house I was attacked buy Ashley in a big bare hug "Ashyy I missed you so much" I squealed "I missed you too" he said hugging me tighter "Ash.... I.... cant.....breath" he quickly let go and gave me a smile then Andy walked in I jumped up "Andy can we watch batman tonight?" I asked eagerly he gave me a smile and walked over to the dvd player and popped in batman I went and popped some pop corn, after it was done popping I flopped down on the couch beside Ash and snuggled up to him and we watched the movie, half way through I fell asleep on Ash and rolled in to A night mare.

Ashley's perspective

Melanie started to fall asleep on me so I wrapped my arm around her protectively I saw Andy look at me then smirk and look back at the screen I continued watching the movie "she likes you ya know" Andy spoke I turned my attention away from the movie "who?" I asked questioningly he gave me an annoyed look "Mel you idiot" he scoffed "no she doesn't" i argued he sat up straight and looked at me "think about it, she comes in and gives you a bare hug calls you 'Ashyy', and when I said you were going to be hear she got super happy, when ever she looks at you her eye's sparkle and her smile is real" And protested "really?" I questioned "yup" *pops the P*

The movie ended and I carried Mel upstairs and put he in the bed I didn't really want to go back down stairs so I curled up next to Mel and fell asleep.

I was laid there for about 2 hours because I couldn't sleep then Melanie started to move around maybe she was waking up... nope, she started to scream and shake I quickly sat her up and held her close in my arms trying to calm her down it wasn't working so I sat cross legged and put her in my lap and held her close I made 'shushing' noises and rocked her slowly it still wasn't working so I started to sing because that's all I could think of at the time

I open my lungs dear
I sing this song at funerals... no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush.
A baby boy you've held so tightly,
This pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds, I feel your touch.

It finally worked she stopped screaming and just laid there huddled in a ball against my chest breathing heavily, then Andy came in "what th-" I cut him off "shh she's still asleep" I shot at him and he brought it down "what is going on?" he whispered "she had a nightmare" he made an 'O' shape with his mouth and walked back to his room, I looked at the time 3;30 I silently sighed and laid Mel back down and curled up next to her and put my arm around her torso.
