The story of Melody Sanders
By: Tori Castillo


Thanks to all my friends and family for making this possible.


chapeter 1.
I've gone all my life trying to be perfect. I know it sound lame and fake, but you haven't lived in the Sanders house. My mother is never around. My father abuses me... sexualy. I absolutely hate my life. Now can you understand why i want to be perfect? why i want a perfect family?
The only time i can be and act perfect is at school, and even then there is only one person that knows my pain, and my depresstion. Kayle Cruz. She's been my best friend since freashman year i've told her everything that has happened to me. There has been so many times where she wanted to report it to the police but I made her promise me that she would never tell anyone about my family....

one friday afternood as i'm walking home i realise that im a bit to early to be home, and that means my father will be waiting in my room planning to rape me again for hours. if I come home too late my father will beat me until I am black and blue. I looked at my watch. Its 2:50pm i'm 10 minutes early.
I decide to wait 7 minutes and use the other 3 minutes to walk the rest of the way home.
After my 7 minutes are up i start walking, then i notice a silky black porsh and gray BMW parked in front of my house. i walk up the porch and into my house. As i'm walking in I hear my parents laughing along with voices I didn't reconize.
"Melody, honey, is that you?" my mother asked in a sweet voiceshe never uses.
"Yes." i say cautiously as i walk into the den.
"Oh good. i want you to meet Mr. and Mrs.Hazelwood, and their son Noah." she continued.
Ilooked at them fully, their faces full of happiness, pride, and worry.
"Hi. Its very nice to meet you."
"Very nicde to meet you too dear," said Mrs.Hazelwood.
"Sweetheart we have to talk to you, this is very important." my mother said to me.
"Okay" I took a sit a bit far from my parents and looked at them intently.
"Melody, you're... you're engaged."
"What??!!!" i screamed at my mother. "To who?!"
"Well to Noah of course" she said.
"How? i'm only 18 why am i engaged to a guy i dont even know?! Why are you doing this to me?"
"Sweetie,I know you're upset but-"
"upset??!! i'm not upset im angry!" I yelled. i didnt even bother to let her finish I just ran to my room and locked the door. I sat on my bed and cried. why was I engaged? Why now? i'm only a seinor in high school.
i stopped crying when i heard someone banging on my bedroom door.
"Melody, you open this door right now!" my mother yelled. I knew if I didnt i would pay for it later so i opened the door and stepped back. My mother came in and slapped me.
"I want you to pack your bags and get down stairs.Then I want you to aploigize to them." she turned around and left my room with out another word. hot tears ran down my face as i went to the bathroom to fix myself a bit. i aplied make-up to my face so that no one will notice the hand print my mother left me. I decide to go all out and put on mascara and eyeliner, then fix my hair and change my clothes. When i returned to my room I started packing my stuff and bring them to the front door. I went to the den and apoligized to the Hazlewoods. They told me not to worry that my recation was perfectly normal and they were expecting it.
Noah looked as if he was worried something was wrong with me and that didnt suprise me.
"So are you ready to see your new home?" Mrs.Hazelwood asked. I mannaged the best fake smile i could and nodded.
"Well, Noah, take her bags to the car and you father and i will meet both of you at the house"
"Sure." I followed Noah out the house and sighed happily. I was free of my hidious family. I wouldnt ever have to deal wih them ever again. Even though i was forced into this Ithink i really like the idea now.
"Melody," Noah said
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?"
"Yes,"
"Then why is you cheek red?"
"What?" i asked stupidly.
"your cheeck, its red. Really red."
I was able to see it through the car window. it was red and even though I applied make-up i could still see my mother's hand print.
"Did they hurt you?" he asked softly
I didnt speak. I didnt do anything. I just staied perfectly still. a habbit i picked upfrom stress.
"Melody? please you can tell me" he begged.
Hot silent tears rolled down my face and sobs broke free from me. I felt someone put there arms around me, trying to comfort me.
"Don't worry i'm here i'll protect you" Noah said softly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and sobbed. I didnt care about anything. For once in my life i wanted to be happy.
"Come on we have to go before we're late." I nodded and got in the car.
Durring the drive i fell asleep and tried to dream about something happy. I didn't have much success.......


chapter 2.
I woke up to the feel of Noah's arms around me. He had me craddeled in his arms as if I didn't weigh a pound. I looked around and noticed Noah looking at me intently.
"I was watching you sleep. you look so peaceful." he stated. I smiled up at him I couldnt believe how drasticly my life has changed in just a few hours. Once inside I gasped. everything was beautiful. there were pink, white, and red roses everywhere. the ceiling was high, the rooms neat and tidy. It was like a hotel, where everything was nice and clean.
"This place is amazing." I said softly.
"You like it?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Good. I'm glad you do." he said with a smile in his voice.

When I was unpacked and settled i went to take a much needed shower. After showering I roamed the house looking for Noah.I looked in the kitchen, the family room, and the living room. He wasn't there.
"Looking for me?" I heard Noah whispered. I jummped at the sound of his voice.
"You scared me."
"Sorry,"
"Don't worry about it. And yes I was looking for you."
"I noticed." he said laughing. I blushed deeply.
"you have a beautiful blush."
"Thank you." I said. "So i think we should talk"
"Hmm, about what?"
"Everything." I said.

I got to know Noah so well over the passed few weeks.i was so happy with him, I never wanted it to end. Once Noah and i went to the beach that we had behind the house and spent the day swimming uder water looking at the fish and admirering the colors of the coral. we laughed and played in the sand, and we even saw the sunset together. I couldnt belive how much fun i was having it seemed endless.
Noah asked me a couple of times how I was liking it here, I always gave him my honest oppinon. I loved it here.
Today Noah and I we sitting on the beach looking at the horizon.
"It's so beautiful."
"What is??"
"The sky."
He laughed at that.
"Yeah it is." he agreed.I Look a him and his face seemed to be more beautiful than before his skin was sunkissed, his green eyes lookedlike shiney emeralds in the late afternoon sun....
Noah cought me looking at him and asked what i was staring at so intently.
"You." i said sweetly.
He smiled and took my face in his hands. Slowly but surely he leand foward to kiss me. i wrapped my arms around his neck as he moved his hands down to my waist. My breathing sped up to the point where i was panting. I didnt care to be embaressed. after a moment he moved his mouth to my neck and i had one hand in his hair. i didnt want this moment to end. it was too perfect I seemed to forget about everything that was around me. He kissed me softly for a moment then pulled back, I didn't want him to let go of me so i pulled myself closer and layed my head on his chest. Noah wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer to him.
"I love you," I whispered. he heard me because he kissed the top of my head and said "I love you too,"

That night Noah cooked dinner. Or i should say he tried to cook dinner.
"I was tring to suprise you" he told me.
I laughed. "Well you did suprise me," I said. He laughed as well. So i taught him how to make dry pasta and pork chops. He's a very fast learner beacuse as soon as the meal was half way done he took over to finish it.
I took a small bit of the pork chops.
"Not bad, Noah."
"Thanks,"
I brought the dinner over to the table as Noah broght over the silverwear. WE ate in silence for a few minutes.
"So, my mother called earlier, she wants us to go over next saturday so she can talk about the wedding plans." Noah started.
"Oh," was all I could say.
"Yeah, but we dont have to go if you don't want to."
"No, its okay i don't mind going. It will be nice." I said knowing that it was going to be true. I knew for a faact that my mother was not going to be ther for me let alone my father. As i thought about this i realised that on the day of my wedding my fater would not be the one giving me away to my new husband. it made me kind of sad and upset at the same time. My father just had to be an ass. Maybe if he wasn't so abusive he could be there and give me away to Noah.
My eyes started to water and Noah seemed to notice.
"Melody, are you alright?"
"No," I said in a hushed voice. "Excuse me," I left the table and practicly ran to the bathroom. I locked the door and sat on the cold floor.
"Melody, can you open the door please?" Noah asked.
"No."
"Can you tell me what's wrong?"
"No."
"Please, Melody?"
"No, please go away. I want to be alone." I said. He must have left beacuse he didnt say anything after that.
I cried for what seemed like hours. I didn't want to think of my wedding day, yet i wanted to. I felt bad pushing Noah away just because I didn't want to talk to him. I decided to go out and apoligize. I unlocked the door and opened it. I walked to the dinning room wear my food was still there. I put the food in the microwave and went to see if Noah was in the bedroom.
"Noah?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, Noah, I didn't mean to push you away I was just angry thats all" I said.
"Why were you
