MELODY PIANISSIMA'S STORY
CHAPTER 1: 1917: MOVING IN
In 1917 Melody Pianissima moved in with Neville and Lydia. The couple was rich and they had no children at the time, but they would take in family friends' children.
"Welcome Melody Pianissima." Neville welcomed, helping her inside.
"I'm sorry your parents done that to you." Lydia apologized. "It doesn't matter if you are good or bad at the piano."
"My mother told me I was a disgrace." Melody told them as she tucked her long light blonde hair behind her ear.
"You're no disgrace, you have talent." Neville comforted her as he closed the front doors. "If you want to play the piano, there's one in the music room."
"Shivers!" The twenty-five year old woman called.
The butler walked in and looked at the girl in a long maroon colored dress. All he could do is stand there and gawk at her.
"Shivers, take Melody to her new room." The thirty-three year old man ordered.
"As you wish, Master Neville." Shivers walked through the archway and up the stairs.
Melody looked back at the couple and followed the butler. Shivers stopped at the third door on the hall and she walked in. As Melody walked in, he stood there in the doorway and gawked at her. He looked at her slim body and at her long light blonde hair as she placed her hairbrush on the vanity. Melody placed her three dresses in the dresser and turned to look at Shivers.
"Can you take me to the music room?" She asked politely.
"You're beautiful." He told her.
"Thank you." She replied, dismissing the flirty tone in his voice.
The butler motioned for her to come on and she followed. Shivers stopped by the entrance to the music room and she walked in. The seventeen-year-old girl felt blissful as she walked to the wooden piano. The butler walked away as she sat down at the ivory piano. She composed herself and started playing Beethoven's Für Elise. As she played the piano, a young man with black hair walked by the room. He heard the beautiful sound and stopped. Just hearing the beautiful music convinced him to back up and look inside the room.
"Hello." He greeted as he entered the room.
Melody stopped playing and turned to face him as he approached her.
"I'm Wendell Wright." He introduced as he took her by the hand.
"I'm Melody Pianissima." She replied as she looked him from his black hair and down to his brown shoes.
"You're beauty has mesmerized me." Wendell spoke.
Melody sat there and looked at him uncomfortably. When he kissed her hand, she pulled it away and stood up. The teenaged girl's temper flared up and she walked out of the music room, thus making him follow after her down the steps. She calmed down as she came across the small gym. When she opened the door and walked in, she locked eyes with a guy. Wendell stood in the doorway not so happy.
"I'm Biff Atlas." He introduced with a smile as he stopped doing pull ups.
"I'm Melody Pianissima." She replied with a smile.
Wendell scowled at the way they looked at each other and it just made his blood boil.
"Would you like me to introduce you to the others?" Biff asked her.
"Sure, I'd like that." The seventeen-year-old girl replied, taking the buffed teen by the hand.
Wendell walked away mumbling a few unpleasant words under his breath.
Biff showed Melody to Nana's room and they entered, getting the old woman's attention.
"Nana, this is Melody Pianissima." Biff introduced.
"Hello dear, I heard you were coming to live here with my son and my daughter-in-law." The sixty-eight year old woman smiled as she knitted.
"Neville and Lydia took me in since my mother and father kicked me out of the house." Melody replied, looking away.
"Whatever happened, it doesn't matter now." Nana told her as she rocked and knitted a beige throw. "You have a new home."
Melody smiled and looked up.
"Well it was nice meeting you." The old woman told her.
"Same to you." The teenaged girl replied as she walked out of the room.
The buffed teen followed the girl out and took her to the Uncle Grimmly's room. As soon as they entered Uncle Grimmly looked up and smiled.
"Hello, you must be Melody." He smiled. "My brother told me about you."
"Oh." She looked away and Biff placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Anyway, I'll let you two kids get back to whatever you were doing." He told them as he moved his wardrobe to the other side of the room.
"See you later, Grimmly." Biff called as he escorted Melody out of the room.
Biff took Melody to the dining room and what she was seeing disgusted her. Food was flying everywhere and most of it was landing inside Mr. Luggs' mouth. The man looked like he had eaten the refrigerator.
"Mr. Luggs?" Biff called, trying to get his attention.
The large twenty-seven year old man stopped stuffing his face and looked at the teens.
"I'm Melody Pianissima." She introduced with a smile.
"I'm Mr. Luggs." He introduced back, taking a bite out of bread.
"I'm just taking the beautiful Melody around to let her meet everyone." The buffed seventeen-year-old explained, placing his hands on her shoulders.
The teenaged girl walked out and her buffed friend followed her out. Biff took Melody by the hand and took her to the ballroom. When they walked in, the Whirlindas stopped and walked over to them.
"Meet Melody Pianissima." Biff introduced.
The couple shook her hand.
"That's a beautiful dress, Melody." Ms. Whirlinda complimented.
"Thank you." Melody smiled. "My father bought it for me."
"Anyway, we have to go now." Biff told them as he took her by the hand.
"Well, come back later!" Mr. Whirlinda called, watching the teens walk out.
"Nice girl." Ms. Whirlinda thought to herself.
Up in the Attic Vincent Van Gore stood there trying to paint something brilliant, but it ended up coming out looking like the blobfish. When Biff and Melody walked through the archway of the first room in the attic, Vincent turned his head and smiled.
"Bonjour, I'm zee starving artist of the mansion." The fifty-year-old French man introduced. "Just call me Vincent Van Gore."
"Just call me Melody." She smiled, letting him shake her hand.
The light haired girl pulled her hand away and looked at it.
"I'm sorry I got zee paint on your hand." The starving artist apologized, handing her his paint rag.
"It's not a problem." She replied, cleaning her hand off.
"Anyway it's nice to meet you, so what brings you to zee attic?" Vincent Van Gore asked as he painted his horrible monstrosity.
"I'm taking her around to meet everyone." Biff explained.
The seventeen-year-old girl looked up at her new guy friend.
"So what happen for your mother and father to kick you out of zee house?" Vincent Van Gore asked.
"My mother told me I was a disgrace for messing up during the piano recital. I had lost to this older woman." She sighed.
"Well, I don't believe you're a disgrace for a minute." The artist told her.
"Neither do I." The buffed guy spoke.
Melody looked at the wooden floor.
"Will you play me a song?" Biff asked her.
Yes." Melody nodded as she took him by the hand.
"See you later." The French artist told them as he painted.
The teen girl took him back to the music room. She sat down at the piano and began playing Moonlight Sonata. While she played, he looked at her romantically and she looked at him the same way. Wendell caught a glimpse of them and he stopped in the doorway. Seeing the way they were mesmerized by each other angered him. Lydia and Neville stopped by and stood in the doorway and watched her play. They smiled when they saw the bliss on his face. They knew right then that Biff had a crush on Melody. Wendell was furious; he stormed off before Neville and Lydia could see his angry face.
As months went on Biff and Melody flirted with each other. Wendell became more irritated because he wanted her badly. He wasn't about to give up trying to win her over just because she was interested in Biff and he was interested in her.
