For fuck sake pull yourself together Melanie. I felt the tears start to well up as I stormed out of Jasper's apartment. Why the fuck does he do this to me? Walking in to him fucking her like that! UGHH I can't get the image out of my head. Being outside I decide to walk home instead of calling a cab. I need a distraction from everything. The streets of LA are the perfect place to do that, it's so beautiful. But it's nothing like my home town of Hawaii. I missed home so much, I missed my insane mother. We lost contact 3 years ago after I moved to LA. She told me it wasn't a good idea but I didn't listen. Now I'm broke, unemployed and in love with an absolute dickhead.
I was so into my thoughts that I didn't notice the car coming towards me. It was too late and I could see the headlights getting closer. Why the fuck wasn't I moving? Getting run over is not a good way to die Mel. My mind thought otherwise and I just closed my eyes and waited for death to claim me...
But I didn't feel any pain. Something ran into me from my left side and before I knew what was happening I was hitting the ground real hard. I sat up to see what knocked me out the way of the car but the head rush I got was insane and I needed to lie back down. I didn't even know that I had passed out until I heard someone shouting. Were they calling my name?
"What the fuck Melanie!"
I recognized that voice. But it was impossible to tell for sure, my head still stung like a bitch. I tried to open my eyes but there were black dots dancing in front of my eyes. I closed them again and tried to focus. "Oh shit" the stranger said.
I lied down for a few more minutes and the stranger sat there in silence while they waited for me to come around.
"Melanie?" The voice was gentler this time and I'm sure I recognize it from somewhere.
"I'm fine" I mutter sitting upright.
This time I open my eyes slowly and the black dots dissolve when I opened my eyes slowly.
There was a figure to my left and they had the look of relief in their eyes.
"We're you trying to kill yourself?" Muttered the stranger.
With that I turned around to face them.
At once I knew why I recognized that voice. Of course, how could I forget it. All of the memories from the last 5 years come flooding back to me and I smile at the stranger.
"Bruno?"
