I ran after her, but only to have the front door closed in my face. I sighed, not wanting to go after her.
I walked up the stairs, to have Matt standing by my room doorway.
“Your girlfriend, huh?”
Without even making eye contact, I pushed him out of the way.
“Bite me.” I said.
I locked the door and sat on my futon.
I picked up my guitar, turned the amp way up, and played an fast tune.
I played every chord you could think of, mostly shredding. I tapped my foot to the rhythm while I felt the amp shake the floor and throw my thoughts into a palsy.
I probably jammed for about a half an hour until my fingers started to go numb and my hands and wrists hurt.
I tried to call Melanie, but she wouldn’t answer me.
I put my head in my hands, and just stayed like that for the rest of the last hour.
All of the sudden, my phone rang.
Mel?
