Chapter 1: She's Back
Melinda laid in her bed covered up, she watched as the sun grazed through the closed blinds. She looked around her old room, nothing changed since she was last here. Melinda hasn't returned home in 5 years, she abruptly left town after telling her then best friend since childhood Jim that she loved him but he didn't, he said he loved her more like a friend but nothing else because they've been friends for so long that there like brother & sister. They tried to remain friends but Melinda didn't want to remain just friends with Jim she wanted him whole she didn't want just half of him. Jim was practically a womanizer and a ladies man and Melinda didn't want to stick around and see him go out with other girls. During the five year span since she's been gone Melinda has finished college, got a degree in business and got married. Melinda got married 3 years ago to her college boyfriend Steve. Some people say the marriage was rushed because they only dated 6 months then he proposed and then got married 3 months later. They both knew it was a bit rushed but they were madly in love with each other and Melinda didn't want to be alone. Before she told Jim how she felt she had her whole life planned out she even had a scrap book with wedding pictures in it. She would cut off her face and Jim's face out of pictures and put them on the body of a bride and groom. Melinda sighed and laid there in bed for a minute.
Melinda got up out of bed and slipped into her tennis shoes and walked out the room. Being home again brought back some good but a lot of bad memories. Her mom had pictures up on the display table of Melinda as a baby and some childhood pictures and even a few pictures of her & Jim. Melinda walked in the kitchen and seen her mom sitting at the table. "Morning" Melinda said as she sat down at the table. "Morning sweetie. How did you sleep" her mother Beth asked her. "Fine" Melinda poured herself a glass of orange juice. "What are you doing" Melinda asked. "Oh making a shopping list. I'm going grocery shopping for our little BBQ later" Beth said. "What BBQ" Melinda asked. "The one tonight. A lot of people are excited to see you again" Beth said. "Mom, you didn't. I told you not to tell anyone I was in town" Melinda sighed. "Oh calm down. It's not like I told them why you were in town" Beth said. "You shouldn't have told them anything period. Now people are going to wonder why I'm by myself. There going to be asking where's Steve. Good one mom" Melinda sighed. Beth sighed "Melinda, it's just a break. It's not like you two are splitting up and getting divorced" Beth said. "Whatever" Melinda scoffed. Beth put her shopping list in her pocket "Can I ask you something" Beth asked Melinda. "What" Melinda replied. "Do you think you rushed into this marriage? Do you regret it" Beth asked. "Me & Steve both know we rushed this but we love each other" Melinda said. "Do you regret marrying him" Beth asked. Melinda looked at her mom "I don't kn........No I don't regret marrying Steve. How can you ask that" Melinda said. "Because I know better then anyone and I know you regret it. Your still hung up on Jim. You can deny it if you want but you know you are" Beth said. "I'm not hung up on Jim anymore. Why would I be hung up on a guy who has no feelings for me and just wants to be my friend. I'm over him mom. Now can we please drop this conversation" Melinda looked the other way. "Ok fine. I'm going to go shopping. Can you clean the vegetables for me and make you famous blueberry pie. Oh and the lawn guy is coming to pick up his check" Beth asked. Melinda sighed "Yeah I guess" Melinda said. "Thank you" Beth kissed her daughter on the head "I'll be back soon" Beth said and left the house.
Melinda sat at the table drinking her orange juice. She sighed and got up and walked over to the counter and started to grab all the ingredients. Melinda heard someone knock on the front door "Come in. I'll be out in a minute" she called from the kitchen. The door opened and the person walked in. Melinda wiped her hands off "My mom just left so give me a minute to find the check" Melinda said as she came out of the kitchen. Melinda froze as soon as she seen who it was.
