my hair down and curly. I run out of my room and downstairs, noticing no one was home. They were all outside. I slipped on my boots and black peocoat. Putting on some black knit gloves I turn the door handle and run outside the snow flurries catching in my eyes. I walk down the street towards the park were everyone said they would be. Turning down the street I turn the corner to see Maby. The girl from school. She was walking close and holding on to someone’s arm as if she would fall without it. Walking forward I figure out that’s she was grasping aidens arm. A shot of pain went through me considering I was still in denial about having feeling for him and I’ve tried to change my mind. As she stops him to look inot a store I walk past them looking straight forward to avoid any notice from him. Walking around the block I make it towards the park. There I see Darren and carra, Sebastian and sammi and my dad and merideths, shaya is running around the snow her laughter loud and echoing over everyone’s voices. A small snowball fight is begging in as I open the park gate and run over to them, snow falling into my eyes. I smile and wave at them and as I go to sit down to watch I feel a cold ball hit my shoulder and I look to my right and wipe off the snow, taking a deep breath I turn around to find no one. I take a step forward. “Okay im going to get you!” I hear laughing and all of them jump out from behind trees and start aiming and throwing snow at me. After a few minutes I surrender and try to glare but finishes off with a fit of giggles. We all collapse in a circle our heads facing inward and our hands outstretched towards each other, we lie there while the small white flurries fall around us, dancing there winter dance. The sound of our laughter is there music.

Eating popcorn and drinking hot chocolate were all in the living room. “I hate how smores can be so messy!” I giggle trying to get the deliciously chocolate dessert to my mouth. Munching I wipe my hands on a towel and curl myself up by the fire, my toes wiggling. Shaya is with dad and merideths at shaya friend’s house, for a Christmas party. Darren sammi are sniggled up on the couch sammi half asleep. And carra and Sebastian are sitting wrapped in a blanket on the couch watching a movie. They all decided that they needed smores to make this snowy winter wonderland fantasy night perfect. Darren comes back from the kitchen shutting his phone he looks guilty. “Whast wrong?” I ask licking my finger as the chocolate fell from my smores. He cuddles up with sammi and just shrugs. “I um invited Aiden over.” I look at him. “why!?” he shrugs.” cause he was all alone at his house after his sister left to California to live with their aunts he’s been very lonely.” He nods his head like a puppy waiting for their owner to smile at them to give them a treat. But I was far from smiling I was ready to hurt him. “Okay. I can do this. As long as he leaves me alone.” A few breaths later we hear his knock and Darren gets up opening the door. The notebook was on and Allie and Noah were laughing and kissing when we hear Darren’s cheerful voice. “Aiden!” pause. “And Maby. Its you” his voice turns icy and he gives attention to Maby. He turns around and heads over to us. “Grab a smores Aiden.”

She was sitting in front of the couch her head hitting the couch. The glow from the fireplace hitting her face. The notebook. Her faviuorite movie. I can my name being called and I turn my head away from her towards Maby. “Wait what?” she sighs and rolls her eyes. “Im asking if you would get me water?” she bats her eyes and I nod. Getting up I walk towards the kitchen. Everyone was in the kitchen refilling with food and drinks. Maby and melody were left back.

Everyone was in kitchen getting refills. I was left alone with Maby and she was staring at me as if I was some rabid animal. “What?” She smirked. “I wonder what he saw in you” her nasal voice lowered she leans over the couch her short hair in her face. “You’re not good looking, you don’t wear makeup and aren’t popular.” I huff and turn around facing the fire place. She kept going. “Just leave him alone. He used to date pretty girls before you and then dumped you and came to me.” She laughs. “You know we were in the middle of getting farther than making out when Darren called. If it weren’t for you people I swear he would be mine right now. I mean did you honestly think he liked you? I think he was lonely. Yeah lonely or desperate.” She picks up a strand of hair. “Hmmn I wonder what he saw” I look over to her and she starts to laugh. Some tears well in my eyes and I stand up. “Get out of my funkin house, yeah you heard me go. I don’t need some slut going around my house telling me these things, I so don’t need that. By the way, first of all he doesn’t like you he likes what you can give him, second of all beauty is not beauty if you can wipe off 95 percent of it with a Kleenex, and third of all im popular just not with your crowds. I swear not trying to imply something but you don’t really sleep in your own bed often do you” I drop the blacket that was around my shoulders and stand up. I can see her smirking. I turn around and there they all are their mouths agape. Aiden looks mad. “Melody” I frown. “What!?- She was – I didn’t-” they all look as if I did something wrong. “Did you guys hear her?” maybes voice chirps. They all nod and I thought they were eon my side but I guessed wrong. Aiden grabs maybes hand and starts walking away, Darren sammi and carra leave after him, all giving me a sad look. Sebastian hesitates and then calls after him. They all leave, mad at me. Because I stood up. Because I didn’t let her bully me. Because I said the truth.

Sighing I lay on top of my bed and look up to my ceiling. Angry I stretch and felt my arm tingle. I mumble something and my plant on my desk shatters. “Oh crap” I pick up the plant scared I would do anything else, throwing it out I lay back on my bed and I can fell magic pulsing through me. Sitting up I curl my hands. The windows shatter and I go flying down to the carpet the shards cutting into me. I try to stop the furl of magic when suddenly my desk topples over and the chair hits my leg. All the supplies flying everywhere. I then lay on my back and try to take a deep breath when I look and see all my books falling on me, my bookshelves tipping over. All I remember was that it fell, something hard stabbed my head ad everything went slowly going black.

She was staring at me. Maby was trying to get my attention, her lips moving, the people around her, our friends were all laughing. Sebastian suddenly gets a call the shrill ring of his phone brings me back to reality and I can see his face. As the words on the other side form. He waves and goes off running. We don’t have time to ask whast wrong.

I could hear voices. Talking. Melody, wake up. Hun, Melody. It sounds like my fathers. His voice sounds distraught. Dad im here I want you to know that. Im here but my eyes are heavy! I can move. Dad can you hear me? There is silence for a small amount of time before my father’s voice sounding panicked. Melody! Melody wake up.! I can hear his sobs and I try to reach out to him but everything is so heavy and everything is dark. I can’t see. Dad. Dad! Im here. Help me. Don’t cry! I don’t think he hears me. No one can hear me but me, and me is lonely.

They come back. The voices. I dotn know if there my dad’s or my brothers but they talk to me. Honey, merry Christmas. I love you. You know that right? Well it’s so beautiful out the stars are starting to come out brighter. Hon. don’t you wan to see the flowers? Wake up. Open your eyes. Come see the flowers. I try to open my eyes. But I can’t. It’s like someone holds a brick on them. A small silence from them. No stars. fine. Yesterday shaya and Sebastian they- his voice breaks and I can’t hear anything else. I love you baby girl. No one talks anymore. I feel lonely.
I walk inot the room. Come on Sebastian get it together, this is your sister here. I tell myself. But my other side of my brain yells. But she did those terrible things to Maby. Remember. She’s doing this for attention. I nod. “Hey Maby” no response. Im supposed to hold her hand but her hand is all cold. Like she’s dead. : “So you’re in a coma. It’s been like a month. It’s January. Shayas birthday is at the end of the month I hope you’re back.” Nothing, her chest moving up and down. Look gin pale. I get mad. “Why won’t you wake up already?” I breathe, “dads been crying and shays thinks you’re sleeping. Stop running away and com aback to face the real world.” I wait for a flitter of a finger or a smile but nothing. She’s like a corpse.

Why won’t you wake up already!? Trust me I want to. Everything seems clearer now. I think I can move but not yet. It’ll come back I’ll be back soon. No one wants to listen to me. Or it’s that they can’t hear me.


April.

I stand back in my yard sitting on the porch with carra and Darren as we wait for them to pull up. There familiar car opens and we see shaya run inside, Sebastian after her. Her dad he gets out and pauses. “What happened?” I can hear carra yell. He looks up startled and crosses the road. “She woke up. She’s coming home soon.” He looks...Sad. “Then why the grim face?” He mumbles something. “She thinks she heard us talk to her. She feels bad about abandoning us. She thinks it’s her fault she went into the coma. She’s depressed.” He shrugs. “but she’ll get over it.” We all nod plastering smiles on our faces. He waves off and starts walking towards his home. Merideths and the boys
