The Drive


Part One

Meetings and Beatings

"I told you to check it!" I scream to my best friend.

"I'm sorry, Mel. I was busy dealing with your mom." Max says lifting the hood. Smoke rolls around us.

"Damn it!" I cry calling my mom. I know her boyfriend Rusty would know what's wrong.

Me/mom

Hello?

Hey mom we have a problem.

What the hell did you do this time?

I think our motor like broke.

Well it's your fault I'm not coming to get you.

What the hell are we suppose to do then.

I don't know and I don't care.

*click*

"Another reason to hate my mom" I say kicking the car. "Ow."

"Well it is metal" Max says as a car drives past and turns down a road.

"ASSHOLE!" I scream I go to the trunk and get out my Ipod and get onto the roof. I put the Ipod on the speaker thing I bought. 'Seventeen forever' by Metro station starts to play.

"I don't see how this can get any worse." Max says. Then it started raining

"Damn it you had to say it." I moan standing up.

"I knew I shouldn't have come on this damn trip with you." Max says glaring at me. I jump on top of him and put him in a headlock.

"Take it back. Take it back right now." I say I was so intent on hurting him I didn't realize a Jeep stopped next to us.

"Okay…okay… I take it back. Jeeze." Max says as I let go. I push him. I put the stand inside the car.

"You're still a jerk." I say turning around to find a man standing there looking at us with an amused look on his face.

"What the hell are you staring at?" I say turning the song to a Fozzy song it was called 'enemy' and getting back on the roof. I look at the darkness that surrounded us and sing along with Chris Jericho.

"Hey get off the damn car this guy says he's going to get his brother to bring our piece of Shit to the brother's house until morning." Max says from the trunk.

"All right, jerk off." I say doing a flip of the roof.

"You're such a show off." Max says handing me my bag.

"I know." I say following Max to the guy's Jeep. I put my ear plugs in my ear and listen as Chris Jericho sang to me. I felt my eyes start to get heavy and next thing I know I was asleep.

I woke up with a start. Someone was shaking me.

"Yo dipshit we're here." Max says pulling me out of the jeep. I punch him and walk over to the guy.

"Hey thanks for helping us….." I say he turns to me as we get into the light. Omg where have I seen those green eyes before? ...........OMG WAIT HE'S JEFF HARDY!

"It's no problem miss." He says. "I'm Jeff by the way."

"I know." I say Max elbows me, "I mean I'm…. I'm Melody."

"And I'm Max." Max says smiling. Jeff shakes his hand.

"So why are you on the road at this time of night?" Jeff asks as be walk towards the house.

"Max got lost. Then our car went to hell" I say.

"I did not get us lost. You're the one who was manning the map" Max defends himself.

"No I meant why are you traveling?" Jeff says again laughing

"Oh we're on a road trip." Max says

"Let me guess you just graduated?" Jeff asks smiling

"Yep we just graduated from Princeton."

"Speak for yourself. I graduated from New York University."

"And you guys know each other how?" Jeff asks as we get on the porch.

"We're best friends." I say proudly and hugging Max.

"Even if she's scary sometimes." Max says as we enter the house. Jeff shakes his head and laughs.

"YO BRO I NEED YOUR HELP!" Jeff yells

"If it involves money no." the older Hardy says coming from the kitchen.

"Oh my god." I whisper to Max. Matt looks at us and looks at his younger brother.

"I said bring food home, Jeff not people."

"They were stranded on the side of the road and it was raining what the hell was I suppose to do?" Jeff asks

"Bring them here." Matt says smiling.

"I'm Melody!" I say smiling.

"I see and you're wet." Matt says smiling at me. I take my hoodie off.

"So you're a fan?" Jeff asks.

"huh?" I ask. He points to my shirt and I look down to find John Cena smiling back at me. "Oh just a little."

"Just a little?!" Max says. Before he can say anymore I punch him, he doubles over in pain.

"Serves you right." I say crossing my arms. Matt was looking at me in disbelief.

"You should have seen what she did off the car roof. It was like that star thing that Rey does."

"Cool sounds like your good." Matt says smiling.

"yeah." I say smiling. I start shivering.

"Okay you need to take a hot shower." Jeff says wrapping his muscular arms around me trying to warm me up. He takes me to a room and turns on the shower. After a few minutes I see steam

"Uh Jeff I think its warm enough." I say pointing to the steam

"Oh shit, sorry Melody." He says jumping to the shower and turning the cold water.

I smile and stand up.

"Thanks again. This means so much to me." I say hugging him. He hugs back.

"No Problem Melody." He says walking away. I walk into the bathroom and get undressed and step into the shower letting the warm water rush over me.


-Max's pov-

I sat on the couch waiting for Melody to get done. Matt was flipping though the channels looking for something to watch. I saw an advertisement for the Honda civic tour. That's where we were going. We were going to see Panic at the disco at Charlotte but we got side tracked when we were going though Newark New Jersey. Melody freaked because we met Frank Iero and Gerard Way at a starbucks

"So do you watch wrestling" Jeff asks trying to make small talk.

"Only when Mel ties me down." I say. "It's not like I don't like it because I do, it's just I'm to busy worrying about Mel."

"Why would you have to worry about melody?" Matt asks.

"I can't talk about it." I say. Melody comes into the room in her Panic at the disco Tank top showing part of her Bruised back and a pair of Skinny Pants. She sits down.

"Your turn." She says smiling at me. I stand up and go to the bathroom.

-Jeff's pov-

Melody's phone starts ringing so she leans over the couch to get in out of her bag. I see bruise all over her body. I look at Matt to make sure he saw it too.

"Hello? .......yeah mom we found a place……….can you sound a little more worried I'm sure Jamie wants to know his mom's a bitch." Then she hangs up. Then starts crying I get up and walk over to her and hug her she flinches.

"What's wrong darlin?" I ask.

"Nothing I don't know why I try to bother pleasing her. All she ever does is drink. And when she realizes I'm there I'm always the target of her drunken rages." She says

"Is that was the bruise are?"

"Yeah her and my Step-dad. They hate me because I remind them of their failed life."

"How did you learn to fight like that?"

"When I went to spend summer vacations with my grandparents in Canada, my cousin's friend trained me."

"Who was that?"

"Adam Copeland a.k.a Edge." she says.

"Oh so that's why your so aggressive." Matt says.

"He was an ass. He acted as if I was just another Guy and not a 14 year old girl."

"It paid off didn't it?" I ask

"Yeah I guess." she says smiling.

"So you know Adam." Matt asks.

"Know him yes. Like him? NO!" she says smiling.

"I don't like him either." Matt says.

"Yeah bro we know." I say throwing the pillow at him.

"I think this is a start of an awesome friendship" Matt says throwing it back to me.


-Back to melody's Pov-

"I think so too, Matt." I say smiling.

"You guys hungry?" Jeff asks when Max sits down dressed in a 'the used' shirt and a pair of punked out shorts.

"yeah." I say smiling.

"Cool you and I will go get some pizza. If my dear brother can call the joint." Jeff says pulling me up off of the couch

"Yes Jeff I can do that." Matt says grabbing the phone.

I barely had time to grab my hoodie before we were out of the house and in the car.

I'm sorry I know. I need to finish my other stories but this came to me while watching lifetime. Lol. And I had to write it. next chapter out soon.
