Chapter 1

I woke to find myself in my flat that I had recently started renting, as I had just moved out of my Parents and didn’t have much money. I was sharing the flat with my closest friend, April. Anyway, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom and while I was there I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked at my big nose, my crooked bangs and sighed. Not like I could do anything to change my appearance anyway, well not without surgery, which was never going to happen. I hated surgery. In fact its one of my life goals to never have surgery, and unless you count when I was a toddler and bumped my head on a coffee table and had to get it stitched back up.

Snapping out of that terrifying memory, I took out some concealer and started to apply it to my Harry Potter like scar and after I had done that I put on some eyeliner and mascara. You know the daily routine. When all of a sudden April busted into the bathroom and tagging me on the shoulder shouted, “Tag your it, Melane” before giggling and running out of the room and Into the kitchen. I quickly followed after her yelling, “Not for long” before wrestling her to the ground and tickling her till she could take no more and giggled out, “You Win! You Win!”. I stood up and ran to the fridge, as I was hungry when I saw that there was nothing there I asked April if she wanted to go out for breakfast. “It’s a little late for breakfast don’t you think,” shouted April from her room.

I glanced at my Goodbye Kitty watch before remembering that it had broken yesterday and I had yet to get It repaired.”What time is it then?” I yelled to April, “My wristwatch is broken.” ”1:35,”she shouted back. I guess I had slept in later than I though, Oh well.” Oooo, hey Melane how bout we go out to Panda Express for lunch.” shouted April. As if in agreement my stomach growled. So we grabbed our coats and hurried out the door to Panda Express. When we got there the line was surprisingly short. April ordered Chicken Stir fry while I ordered my favorite, Orange chicken and Fried rice. We both also grabbed a Chinese cookie. As it was my favorite part of the meal I quickley broke it open and read the fortune out loud to April. It read, "Your life is in danger. Say nothing to anyone. You must leave the city immediately and never return. Repeat: say nothing." I jumped slightly when April pulled me into a slightly awkward hug. “what was that for?” I questioned. “Nothing just thought you might need one after reading that fortune,” Oh relax its not like its actually going to come true.” I replied. When April and I sat down at our table I reached into my purse and pushing past my Peppermint Altoid mints I pulled out my phone to see that I had 3 new messages from my friend Sean (Everybody calls him Jack though). the first one said, "Hey wanna hang out?" The second one said, " Hellooooooooooo?" ,and the third one simply said, "Call me." After reading the last message I set my phone down on the table next to my food and took a bite of the delicious orange chicken.

   When April and I got home the first thing I did was go to my room and call Jack(Sean). I waited and listened to the dial tone until, finaly, he picked up. "Yellow," he answered. " Its me Melane, you told me to call." "Oh, yeah I have some kinda deppressing news, so would mind coming over so I can tell you in person?" said Jack with a sigh."All right I'll be there in about twenty minutes. Can you hang in till then?" I questioned. "Yeah I'll be all right," Quietly Jack said, "Just hurry on over, bye.""Bye." I said before hanging up the phone and rushing out the door.

 

Jacks P.O.V.

 

I paced anxiously while waiting for Melane to arrive. I just needed someone to talk to as my girlfriend of 5 years had just broken up with me and my heart was begining to shatter in two. I told Melane to come over because I feared that if I tried to talk to her over the phone that I would start bawling my heart out like the sissy I was. Besides Melane is my closest friend and I knew she'd understand, she just had to. If she didn't understand I don't know what I'd do. Just then I heard a sharp knock on my door. I opened it to see Melane, she was looking wonderful today with her black hair and her beautiful hazel eyes shining brightly. I opened the door further and stepped out of the way so that she could enter my small cabin. As she walked through I, for the first time, noticed her festive outfit. She was wearing a red and green striped polo which said "Merry Christmas" which also hugged her form perfectly, as well as black skinny jeans that looked as if she had only worn them once before."So Jack what is it that you wanted to talk about?" said Melane. I replied saying, "My girlfriend might have just brokeup with me."Oh no thats terrible." said Melane, with instant sorrow in her eyes she added,"How did it happen? Did she say why or did she just end it and leave you to wonder what you had done wrong?"I replied saying, "She just called up saying that she couldn't handle the distance anymore and that she never wanted to see me again." Melane replied with simpathy, " I'm so sorry to hear that, you deserve someone better anyway."

 

"And just who would that someone be?" I asked.

 

"I don't know but you'll find somebody." Melane mumbled suddenly shy.

I wondered why she was suddenly shy. Was it because she knew somebody who liked me, did she like me? No she couldn't she wouldn't have supported me so much in my previous relationship if she liked me. Wait a second, why was I wondering in the first place its not like I like her. Do I? No I can't like her I was still heart broken from my breakup with my now exgirlfriend.
