Chapter 3 We can't be friends...

Chapter 2

Melody's pov

I can't believe he puts up with that crap. I wanted to go and smack the crap out of Lucy for how she treats Hunter. Here she had the greatest guy a girl could ever ask for, and she hurts him ever chance she gets. This is just so wrong. I hated seeing this happen to him.

She says being with him would ruin her rep, but I think she likes that she can string him along. When is he going to wake up and realize she isn't the one for him? I have to be the one he cry's to. The one that helps him heal. The one that is so in love with him, but he doesn't even notice me like that.

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I am sick of helping him sneak around with that witch. I won't help him anymore. If he wants her, he can have her, but I won't be there to pick him up again. I have to start living my life for me and try and get over him.

I wasn't an ugly girl I just wasn't Lucy. I was shy and quit and since I have known Hunter all my life, I just stuck with him instead of trying to meet anyone new. I needed to distance myself from him and meet new people. Maybe even start dating.

If he is to ever notice me maybe I need to walk away first. I wasn't going to be known as Hunter's friend anymore, but as Melody. I was going to put myself out there for the first time in my life.

I needed to do something because watching Hunter fall over himself because of Lucy was breaking my heart. I know he left the school because seeing her all over some other guy broke his heart, but I couldn't let him pull me into his drama anymore. I finished all my classes for the day and walked out of school.

I forgot I got a ride from Hunter so now I didn't know how I was getting home. I was so glad I was getting my own car tomorrow. It would make walking away from Hunter so much easier. I was getting ready to call for a ride when someone came up to me.

"Hey, do you need a ride?"

I looked up to see that it was Nick the very guy that was all over Lucy earlier today. The new super popular guy that Lucy just had to be seen with since it was expected of her. Why was a guy like him talking to me in the first place? Wasn't it going to ruin his reputation to be seen with me? This must be some kind of prank. Then again, I did know Nick and deep down he was a nice guy but I was hoping Hunter would come back and pick me up that he didn't just forget about me.

"Um no thanks I got a ride coming."

"Well, it looks like it's about to rain and I would hate for a pretty girl like you to catch a cold because you had to wait out in it."

I got to thinking and he was right. I have known Nick since elementary. He moved away and just recently moved back, but he was always nice to me. I thought about it some more. I guess it wouldn't hurt me to get a ride home from him after all it appears Hunter wasn't going to show up.

"Sure, thanks Nick."

"No prob Melody didn't want you to have to walk home."

I got in his car and told him where I lived. He was shocked that we actually lived right down the street from each other. We talked on and on it was actually pretty easy to talk to him. He wasn't such a bad guy.

I wonder what he seen in a witch like Lucy. Then again what the hell did Hunter see in her. We pulled up outside of my house and I thanked him for the ride. It was easy talking to Nick and he actually listened to me unlike Hunter who always zones out when I talk but expects me to always listen to him.

"Thanks Nick."

"No problem pretty girl any time you need a ride, or just want to hang out call me."

He handed me a paper with his number on it, so I put it in my pocket, and waved as he took off. I started walking to my door when I see a very pissed off Hunter walking up towards me. What was he even doing here? So, he can sit at my house waiting for me but forget that I was going to be stuck at school with no way home? He really needs to pull his head out of his butt.

"What the hell was that about Melody?"

"Nothing he just gave me a ride home so I wouldn't have to walk since someone forgot all about me as usual."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Figure it out. Now can you please move I need to go get changed I have plans tonight."

"What with that dick?"

"Maybe, but what's it to you?"

"He's just using you."

"Oh, really and Lucy isn't using you?"

"This has nothing to do with her. Go ahead go out with him and get hurt but don't come crying to me."

"Same goes for you. I am done helping you and that twit you call a girlfriend."

"Whatever melody you are just jealous."

He walked away before I could even say anything. I walked into my house ran up to my room and cried my eyes out. What the hell was his problem? He has never treated me like that. It was time me and Hunter went our separate ways even though it was going to break my heart. It was clear who he wanted, and it wasn't me.
