"It's official! I'm having a Halloween party at my house!"- My world

"How?"- Left Hand (a.k.a Tokyo)

"Parents out! Party at mine!"- My world

"I'm going to the mall today do you want me to get a few stuff?" I type.

"yes please. and you guys are coming over to help me set up."- My world

"k. Bye off to binge-watch drag queen race. New episodes out bitch!"- Left Hand.

I put my coat on as we get out of the car. it was getting really cold. But fall is my favorite season. Getting closer to Christmas. Mom, Mimi and I towards Target. Today we were getting some shopping done for the house and also some Halloween decorations. I drag Mimi to the costume section and we try on some of the masks.

"Mel." She taps me from behind. I turn around and the most horrifying mask of some witch was looking back at me. I jump back squealing and Mimi takes it off laughing.

"That's not funny." I grimaced taking the mask out of her hand. "We should buy this for Kiara."

"Yes, fits her personality!" Mimi claps her hands. I turn to look at the other masks. "Are you going anywhere for Halloween this year?" Mimi flicking through a few costumes.

"Natalie is having a Halloween party at her house. So I pretty much have to go." I went over to the other side to look at a few costumes.

The dress code was costumes and Natalie is coming as Cleopatra and Mary Sol is coming as an angel despite the fact that she is not. I still haven't decided what to wear. I didn't want to be like most of the girls who will be wearing short revealing costumes. "What should I wear?" I ask Mimi who was now browsing the makeup rack.

"I saw this really cute cat jumpsuit in the other store." She picks up black face paint and a cherry red lipstick. "You can paint a black nose and put this lipstick on. Sexy but totally cute at the same time."

"Ok, I'll go check it out.." I take the face paint and lipstick, putting it in the basket Mimi was holding and walk towards the exit.

I turn into the costume store in the hope that the jumpsuit will be in my size. I look around for the cat costume and spot it. It was much better than I imagined. It had a tail and a bell at turned of it. I came with pretty little cat ears. I flickered through the whole stock looking for my size.

Relieved that I found it, when I rush over to pay for it I spot Alexis prancing around as she always does as if she owns the place. A tall male was with her, Alexis's hand hooked around his arm. I edge closer to the window to get a view of who her arm candy is now and instantly recognizes the familiar flock of blonde hair and light blue eyes that belonged to Cameron Diaz.

"You've got to be kidding me," I mutter irritated.

"Excuse me?" The cashier looks up at me a puzzled look on his face. I give a small smile and take my bag so I can get the hell out of here before the witch would want to annoy me.

I speed walkout and the direction to Target but it was too late.

"Melody!" Alexis shouts from the other end of the mall. Almost singing my name. I huff at the attention she seemed to have gained on me when she sashays towards me.

Bitch fly away. My self conscious groans alongside with me.

I continue walking to Target, quickening my pace but a firm hand pulls me to stop.

"What Alexis?" I demand turning around. She pretends to look hurt. I look back behind her to see Cameron talking to a few guys I didn't recognize.

So this motherfucker can't say hi?

"Mel, what do you mean what? I just came over to say hi." She smirks. I sigh loudly.

"Melody for you." I grumble, tapping my foot impatiently.

"But why I didn't have a problem with it in the past." A small smirk plays upon her lips knowing how her comment made me feel.

"Things are different. People are different." I shoot her a disgusted look. "Now you said hi, bye."

"Well before you go shopping for more of those disgusting outfits you wear to school in Target," She looks at me up and down at my pink top, and denim shorts.

Comparing my clothes to her Stella McCartney jumpsuit she looked like she was going to a red carpet event than just hanging out with friends at the mall. It wasn't even a nice suit.

"I like my clothes. You, on the other hand, should be concerned about yourself because you're trying a little hard. Like you always do." I snap at her.

Alexis as long as I've known her which unfortunately goes way back before high school, her mother isn't that rich but she loves expensive things and Alexis used to wear her mom's clothes to school. I'm not sure if she still does it since her mom just married some rich old man last year but Natalie wanted to out her out forever but it's Natalie's word against Alexis.

"Shut up!" She snaps a little too loudly, glancing behind her.

"What? Did I say that too loud? Oops, my bad. Don't want your new rich friends hearing stuff now do we." Now it was my time to smirk. Alexis may be popular and hate on me and my friends every time she gets but I know things that not many people know. We have way more history than others may think.

"What the hell do you know Mel?" She snarls in disgust at my name. She walks closer to me. I refuse to make her think she intimates me and keep my feet rooted on the ground.

"You think you're all grand and that you somehow convinced Cameron to go on a date with you?" I laugh at this.

"What? Jealous that he didn't waste his time on you like he always does?"

"Please, he isn't slightly interested in you so calm your self down. It's embarrassing."

"Actually." I step closer to her, enough to speak do no one else hears. "What's embarrassing, he asked me out so I think you should check your facts because I think your cam cam kissed me instead of you." I watch her jaw drop. I roll my eyes before turning around and begin walking away. She always trys to get under my skin. It's getting sad.

"Be careful Melody Banks, karma is a little bitch. Next thing you know, you might end up on a school bus for kissing the wrong boy again! " She spits a little too fast. I feel my whole body freeze. I couldn't move for a second. My heart thumping loudly in my chest. A pain struck in my head and I felt like my heart just dropped. I clutched on my bag with a clenched in a fist. My head felt dizzy...my breath started to quicken... I want to close my eyes, wishing the pain to go away...

"Melody wake up!" I hear a voice ring in my head.

"There's one more!" Another goes.

"I'm afraid you daughter was involved in a road accident, Mrs Banks." A voice says.

I opened my eyes quickly, getting the voices out of my head. I worked too hard to forget about those painful memories for it to come back. I suddenly felt a hand touch my shoulder softly. I roughly swing back to look at a now wide-eyed Alexis.

"That came out-" She began edging closer towards me.

"Why? Why Alexis. Why can't you leave me the fuck alone! What have I done! Why can't you just go away! Keep on appearing like the fucking devil" I yell, I push her back roughly.

"You provoked me-" She got back her balance and steps back when I walk towards her. I felt a wave of anger, disgust, pain, abandonment wave through my body.

"Why did you bring it up! Why! Do you think you're an amazing person with your new friends and new life and hurt the people who were the closest to you? Do you know what shit I went through because of you?!" I continue to yell, not caring about the attention we were receiving. "Well guess what! I hate you too!" I shove her, making her tumble onto the ground. Her eyes flashed in uncertainty, but did not bother to get off the floor.

"I hate you! I hate you!" Before I could do more damage a hand held my arm firmly to stop me.

"Melody, what's wrong?" Cameron's voice ushers me to calm down. I whip my arm out of his grasp still glaring at Alexis.

"Don't touch me!" I turn around my eyes stinging as I grabbed my bag and walk quickly to the exit if the mall. I felt people stare at me as I go, but I couldn't care less.

They can all suck our dick! My self conscious says at the back of my head.

I rush out of the mall, my anger still rising. I could hear Cameron yell my name in the background, but I couldn't stop. I couldn't think straight. I was so pissed. So hurt. So angry. I wanted to hurt something. Or someone. This feeling entered into my body like an unwelcome visitor. I was too angry. I had to leave to calm down. I push my way through people and walk to the big road. I started to cross the street unaware of where I was taking myself.

"Melody, please wake up!" I hear the voice return in my head. But I recognized this one. It was my mom's voice.

"No!" I scream, putting both of my hands to my ear trying to block the voices.

Tears started streaming down my cheek. I felt everything became far away. The voices, the sounds if the street... the street!

I whipped my head and watched in horror at the bus driving towards me. My feet stayed rooted on the ground, my heart thumping in my chest. I couldn't do anything. I was unable to do anything.

"Melody!" I heard a voice yell. My eyes stayed glued on the bus coming towards me.

It reminds you if that night doesn't it.

"No." I sob closing my eyes.
