Derek
"Let Melody live her life with Dorian."
I marched away from Malcolm and stood a little far away from him. I might end up hurting my best friend if I didn't.
What the hell is wrong with Malcolm? How could he ask that of me?
He wants me to leave Melody with Dorian. How Is that possible?
Asking to leave Melody is like asking me to stop living. How can I do that?
"Please Derek, do not make her life harder than it already is. Happiness is all she deserves."
Listening to Malcolm plead to me like I was the villain in Melody's life made me feel immense pain deep in my heart.
Something in me shattered at Malcolm's words. I could never have imagined that he thought so badly of me.
"Is that what you want?" I turned to the window as I spoke because I was well aware that whatever I said to him would hurt him more than he already is. Or worse, he might hate me for whatever I was about to say.
