love's got a hold of my heart

chapter two

They went to a park nearby and sat down. Melody took Akiyo's hand.

"Now, tell me what happened," Melody said. "I want the truth."

"You know we were very in love when we first started," Akiyo sighed. "We used to chat about everything and mess around and we'd miss each other even we've been apart for a few seconds. He'd call me everyday. We could feel the love between us. It was so strong."

"Yeah, and we used to tease you two of that," Melody giggled.

Akiyo smiled, sadly, then she continued, "But about a month ago, he didn't call me as much as he used to. At first I thought he had too much work to do so he didn't have time. That was when they released their album. But now we talk less and less. He always says he's busy working then he put off the phone! I haven't seen him for a week now!"

"Come on, maybe he was just too busy!" Melody tried to calm her down.

"But was Shane like this?!" Akiyo didn't let her finish her words, and she had tears in her eyes.

"Ooh, dun be like this hun!" Melody held her near and let her cry on her shoulder.

Later, Melody had to go. Shane was waiting for her. Akiyo walked together with her and she wanna ask Shane if he has anything from Bryan.

They came to Shane's car, he was waving to them. He saw Akiyo, and he could see that her eyes were red from crying. He looked at Melody. Melody looked at him and signalled him not to ask.

He turned to Akiyo and said, "Akiyo, Bry told me to bring you this." He took out a wrapped lil box. Akiyo took it and stared at it.

"Thanks Shane!" then she turned and walked away.
