AN: sorry i took so long but i was trying to make it longer i also spaced out the sentences like someone reuested so that should help. ok i own none of the original cliffhangers even though that list of things to do to hayden i always talk about gets nigger by the minute. I do own Melanie stevens and anyone else i may dream up. now on with the story oh and if you hate it i have the flu or something so i'm kinda out of it. dont forget to R&R
3 hours. I had been at Horizon for 3 hours and so far
not one of my new buddies had even tried to start a
converstaion with me well except for Jess but i think
it was just because she's my first week buddy and there
was the bubbly brunette she seemed pretty nice but WAY
to perky. That was all ok with Melanie though the less
people talked to her the better off she was. It wasnt
that she never wanted people to know what she did
because she was certain that in a place like Horizon
they would find out but she just didnt want the others
to judge her before they even got to know her. " Hey
Melanie time for dinner" jess said coming into the dorms
"ok thanks" i replied following her out of the cabin.
Once we were inside the cafateria we got into line and
got our food then we went and sat at a table with all
of the other cliffhangers. They were already into
conversations of there own and didnt really pay any
attention to Melanie. After Lunch was over Jess led
Melanie into the main cabin where group was held. After
a few minutes of waiting Peter came in "ok cliffhangers
we're going to try and make Melanie comfortable so
why dont we just go around the circle and you can all
tell Melaniw who you are and why your here, and you can
all say as much or as little as you want but be honest
with her and yourself.Jules why dont you start."
"sure Peter. ok my name is Juliete and i'm here because
i had a controling mother who's critisicm made me become
Bulemic and a cutter." "good jules. ummm David why dont
you go next." " Hello I'm David and I'm an alcholic"
he said with a grin on his face and a slight laugh.
"Wrong now try it again and this time get it right"
Peter said slightly annoyed. " ok I'm David and I'm
here because my dad was an control freak who wanted the
perfect son. I couldnt live up to his expectations so
i turned to drugs." "thankyou david.." and so it
continued with Auggie, Ezra, Scott, Shelby, and Jess all
going and sharing everything until it was Melanie's turn
"ok Melanie you can share as much or as little as you
want since its your first day and all but just so you
know we have no secrets here." " umm i guess i'll try my
name as you all know is Melanie Stevens and i'm here cuz
my lawyer made a deal with a judge." she said hoping it
would be enough. "it's ok Lanie you can tell us more"
Peter said using a nick name a past student went by but
Peter had no idea what kind of memories that name held
and that it clicked with a little part of her brain...
the little part that had been a scared little girl
the little part that never ever wanted to be called that
again. She hoped she had heard wrong but she knew better
"what did you say?" she asked "i said its ok Lanie. is
it ok for me to call you that?" "no i never want to hear
that name again." was all that her mind could scream but
as everyone knows actions speak louder than words and
Melanie wasnt very good at thinking before she did
things immediatley she had jumped up and run ou of the
lodge. Peter just stood there not knowing what had
caused her to get so upset. When he finally gained his
composure he went after her. He could see the flash of
ligh brown hair going int othe kitchen and he followed
but when he got there he was shocked to see what he saw
Melanie was sitting on the floor with her knees drawn to
her chest clutching a large knife in her hand.
"Melanie..." but she cut him off "you know this is just
like the other knife" she said fingering the blade
all of her memories suddenly came floating back to her
and she was no longer at Mt. Horizon high she was back
in her house with him coming at her and she began to act
on his presence. She began to slash the knife into the
air screaming for him to leave her alone. Peter just
stood there helpless as to how to help the young girl
in front of him. When she had finally calmed down enough
for Peter to go near her he took the knife out of her
hand and after placing it on a counter out of her reach
he embraced her into a hug whispering that it would be
alright. Sophie who had heard of the insedent with her
new group member came into the kitchen just as Peter was
helping her off of the floor. Together they led her into
the nurses building and after making sure she was
heavily sedated they left.
*A few hours later in Peters office*
"I just dont know what to do Soph I'm scared for her."
"so am I peter I've never seen someone act like that
before. whats can we do to help her?"
"I dont know but im going to think of something"
Next up: how do they help Melanie and how do the cliffhangers handle the news of her breakdown?
