Melody quickly went up to her apartment after Brandon dropped her off. She quickly took a shower n prepared dinner and sat down to eat. As she was eating she remembered her conversation with Brandon regarding love and her eyes couldn't help but turn misty. She quickly gathered her emotions again and finished eating. She was worn out to she went to bed earlier than usual.

It was raining heavily again outside and a perfect weather to sleep as Melody loves to sleep when it rains. She drifted off to sleep in a short while.

She's back to the age of twelve and she is running in the garden, behind her sister as her sister stole her money and ran away from her and she suddenly falls down as her sister turns around and pushes her down. Her sister, Maggie starts crying out loud and falls down on the ground herself attracts her parents attention and she pushes the blame on Melody... Their parents come and start scolding Melody and her father starts hitting her hardly. She cried out loud in pain and denies that she didn't push her sister and tries to explain but her dad doesn't listen and gives her a slap... she falls to the ground her cheek swelling with pain. She's innocent but nobody wants to believe her... her sister leaves with an evil smile on her face.

Another episode pops out in her nightmare where she was 14 and she was locked in the gym room by her sister and was bullied by a bunch of mean girls who beat her up in the dark with the room locked. She begged and screamed for help to let her out of there as she was scared. The mean girls colluded with her sister and didn't stop just there but made horror sounds and scared Melody even more that night. Since that day, Melody was even more afraid of secluded places and the dark. Melody moved out of her home at an early age around 17 right after her graduation before entering college. She had saved her own money to move out and worked several part time jobs to support herself while balancing her studies. With a loud thunder sound "BOOM" she woke up with a start again. She took a big gulp of water n tried to calm her racing heart. Melody looked at the clock to realise it's only 2am in the morning. She struggled to fall asleep again and eventually fell asleep at 4am.
