Willow whispered something. It was illegible, even for Melody's intense hearing. So she moved closer, it scared her of what was happening to her best friend. She said it again and again before she shut her eyes, and returned to her slumber.
She had thought that she had dreamt about it, but she hadn't. Jamie-Ray had witnessed it too. He had promised her that he would tell no one of what had occurred that night, not even Hunter. So it wasn't a dream.
Willow had woken that morning, safe and sound. She couldn't remember what had happened. Atleast of what had happened after she had fainted in the library. She had blushed furiously probably embarrassed at herself for fainting.
Melody couldn't thank the Moon Goddess enough. She even thanked JR, the doctor and the nurse. They had all promised not to tell anyone about Willow. She herself didn't tell Willow about any of what had happened. She knew it was wrong of her, but she didn't want Willow to ever find about this.
Melody had then sworn to make his life hell. And she did, she knew she couldn't do big damage, she would be kicked out of the pack, she didn't want that. Not when a month after the incident was JR's sixteenth birthday. The day he finds his mate. The day she found out that JR was her mate. She had never been that happy in her life.
She knew the pack meant a lot to her mate, she couldn't ruin it for him by hurting the Alpha. But she did little of what she could.
She once went to Hunter's room early in the morning, when he was fast asleep with a girl in his arm, and had stolen his toilet paper. She had also air freshened the whole room and bathroom to avoid him smelling her. He had after that always slept with his door locked. And plenty were times when she pulled other pranks at him. He was still oblivious to who was doing them. Melody knew but JR would never tell on his mate. He would even lie for her. She often felt that she didn't deserve this angel, but then the thought of him with someone else made her angry.
"Look at Watts!" Yelled Buffy Egg. That snapped Melody out of her thoughts. "That is how you are supposed to do it. Even though her arms are thinner than sticks, look at the force."
Melody rolled her eyes as Buffy Egg, who continued praising Melody.
While she was at it, it all snapped.
Maybe Willow could ignore her and she would leave? Willow wasn't ready to face Lila, she was still embarrassed from the occurrence the before. Of how she had broke down in Rowan's arms. Willow blushed furiously. What if Lila had witnessed it? What if Lila had personally seen Hunter humiliate Willow?
The bell went off again.
Willow could let Lila believe that no one was at home. And it was true, there was no one home besides her.
Her mother was still working. Rowan and Felix had stepped out to buy Rowan a new phone, since he seemed to have broken his. She feared that they might get lost in the town, but she herself had been too lazy to go with them. Though the truth was that she wanted to go with them, wanted to spend some more time with Rowan, but she was scared, scared of her growing feelings for him, scared that he won't accept her, scared of him finding about her being bullied. She didn't was him to think of her as a weak person, someone who was waiting to be saved by him. She wasn't a damsel in distress.
It wasn't that she had stayed quiet and let them all bully her, she had fought back but it was of no use. They never got off her back, as if it was their life mission to bully her, though she was completely powerless when it came to Hunter. She feared him, she didn't know why but at the same time she had a huge crush on him, she didn't want to but there was nothing she could do to let go of her feelings for him. Absolutely nothing. She tried hating him, hating him for what he had done to her, of what he had made everyone else do to her.
