NEXT MORNING***
Sleeping peacefully in her bed, Melanie was cradling a pillow to her chest. The sun was beaming through the blinds causing her to stir.
She groaned when the first beam of sunlight hit her face. Her eyes flew open and she sat up at once, placing her hand on her head which was throbbing.
“My head,” she groaned a bit.
She looked around the room and the memories of the previous night started appearing to her.
“I can’t believe I broke down in his presence” she bit her lips slowly.
*”Shhh,” he placed his hand on her lips gently.
“They don’t deserve your tears, okay? Just forget about them” he muttered, pulling her to a hug.*
“Why was he so cool?” She shook her head with a smile.
“He’s right. I need to stop crying over them, they’re not worth it” she stood up from the bed and stretched her limbs.
Melanie walked to the mirror and stared at herself with a smile, she flung her hair to the back before grinning to herself.
“It’s a new day! I won’t let myself be stepped on again, new Melanie on the way!!!” She screamed so loud before giggling to herself.
She rushed to the bathroom to have her normal routine.
She came out of the bathroom, dressed in only a white towel. She walked to her closet and the first thing her eyes landed on was Axel’s jacket, lying peacefully amongst her clothes.
She picked it slowly, a slow smile spread on her lips. She returned it to him but he bluntly refused, saying he already gave it to her.
She was still staring at the jacket when the doorbell rang.
“Who’s there?” She wondered.
The bell rang again. Without giving it much thought, she picked the jacket and wore it, zipping it up and then she left her room.
On her way to the door, the bell rang and she let out an exasperated sigh.
“I’m coming, don’t bring the whole house down!” She yelled.
She opened the door and a light gasp escaped her lips when she saw an extremely good looking woman in front of her.
“Who are you?” They both chorused at the same time.
The woman frowned as her eyes scanned Melanie’s clothing, she recognized that jacket to be Axel’s.
“Why are you putting on my son’s jacket and in his house?” The woman questioned.
“Your son?” Melanie wondered, her eyes slowly getting wide.
Axel, who also heard the doorbell ringing, came out of his room in only his shorts. He just finished bathing and he was dripping wet, giving him the killer look.
“Who’s at the door?” He asked, walking to Melanie.
The woman’s eyes widened and she staggered falling into her husband’s arms who was just appearing.
Axel’s eyes went wide when he saw his parents, a frown found its way to his lips.
“What’s going on here?” Mr. Braun asked.
Mrs. Braun stared at Melanie again, her eyes going forth between Melanie and Axel.
A lady putting on her son’s jacket, and her son in just a short… What explanation does she need again?
“Who’s she? Your girlfriend?” She questioned.
“Girl, what?” Melanie faced Axel.
****
“How did you find out about this place?” Axel asked his parents. They were all in the living room now.
“Is that what’s important right now? You left the house and made us all worried, not knowing you are here enjoying yourself with her” Mrs. Braun eyed Melanie.
“I think you’re getting something wrong here, I’m not his girlfriend. We’re roommates” Melanie explained.
“Roommates?” Mr. Braun raised a brow.
Axel rolled his eyes before facing Melanie.
“You can go, I’m sorry for the inconveniences” he said.
“She needs to stay, because I’m not understanding a single thing here!” Mrs. Braun shot.
“And how’s that my business? I really don’t know how you found out about my house, but you should take your leave” Axel said.
“Are you chasing us out now?” Mr. Braun asked, staring at his son in incredulity.
“What does that look like to you?” Axel asked back.
“Aren’t you even worried about Ariel? She’s so Füçking worried about you” Mrs. Braun said.
“Just tell her I’m fine” Axel turned to leave.
“Is that all you can say? How could you for Pete’s sake?! A son of a congressman staying in a low apartment, does that make any sense?!” Mr. Braun yelled.
“Then stop dictating my life with me, do you know how much that annoys me? I really don’t know why I’m exchanging words with you, but please take your leave and don’t ever come back here again”
“Axel…”
“Please….” Axel cuts her off.
Mrs. Braun sighed before facing her husband.
“Let’s go, honey,” she muttered.
Mr. Braun stared at Axel before looking at Melanie.
“Roommates, you say?” He asked slowly.
“Yes…” Melanie replied.
He nodded and got to his feet, his wife did too as she held his arm.
“We’ll be back soon,” Mrs. Braun said.
Axel rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen, leaving Melanie alone with his parents.
“Are you sure you’re just his roommate?” Mrs. Braun asked.
“Not his girlfriend?” She added.
“We’re just housemates, that’s all” Melanie said.
“Then why are you putting on his jacket?” She pushed further.
“Honey,” Mr. Braun cautioned.
“Fine, fine. Let’s go” Mrs. Braun rolled her eyes.
“Sorry if we made you uncomfortable, Miss” Me. Braun said to Melanie.
“It’s nothing, sir. Have a safe trip” Melanie shook her head with a smile.
Mr. Braun nodded and left the house with his wife.
Melanie locked the door and breathed out loudly, rubbing her chest.
She stared at the direction of the kitchen before walking to it. She met Axel sitting on a stool, while drinking alcohol.
“Why did you act that way? They seemed nice though” she muttered, walking to him.
“Is that how you go about trusting people so easily? I see why you got dumped” Axel scoffed.
“Hey!” Melanie half yelled
“What? Am I wrong?” He raised a brow.
“Füçk you!” She glared and left the kitchen.
Axel stared as she walked out, his eyes fixed on her thighs which were exposed. He took his gaze away and gulped down the drink at once.
Afterwards, he left the kitchen for his room.

MELANIE’S ROOM***
“That jerk, just when I thought he was getting nice,” Melanie scoffed as she entered her room.
“Füçk you, Assassin!” She screamed out. The fact that he was right was what got her mad.
Her phone rang, it was Lauren calling.
“Hey Babe!” Lauren’s voice rang over the phone.
“Hey,”
“Tonight is our party, are you ready?” Lauren asked.
“The freshmen party?” Melanie gasped a little.
“Yea… It’s really gonna be sweet, don’t forget, okay? Put on something sëxy and make those guys drool over you, show them what you’ve got!” Lauren screamed.
Melanie cackled at her silliness. Lauren might look cute and innocent, but she’s got a crazy nature.
“Alright, we’ll meet in school” Melanie smiled.
“Okay, I need to go. Bye!” The call disconnected immediately.
Melanie smiled and walked to the closet, looking for what to wear.
