If the heart is always searching...

Can you ever find a home?

Chapter Four

My tenth month started off bad.  I kinda tripped back stage after a concert and broke my wrist in two places and my doctor wanted me to stay at the hospital over night because it was a really bad fall and I was covered in bad bruises.  My doctor is super cautious of every thing.  I guess that is a good thing because I also had a broken rib that they didn’t catch in the first x-rays, so my doctor wanted me to stay for two more days.  While I was in the hospital, Nick came to visit me.  I don’t think Jake would have ever done anything like that.  He probably would have sent me a wired cheesy card.

After that, things were fine. I had a cast on my wrist for four weeks, which kinda sucked, but I managed to get through it.  My fans were so worried about me.  It was cute.  The little girls would come up to me and say, “ Melody are you okay?”

The only hard thing about the cast was that I couldn’t write with my right hand, the one that I broke.  So when I signed autographs, I had to use my left hand.  That was extremly difficult for me because I am not used to writing with my left hand.

At the begining of my eleventh month in L.A., I got the cast off and that seemed like the most wonderful thing in my life.  I had never been happier to sign an autograph with my right hand.  That was until I had to sign over one thousand autographs.  That would have murdered my left hand.

My fame had gotten so high that I could not go anywhere without having to sign an autograph or take a picture with someone.  I  just have to get used to it because it continued into my twelfth month in L.A. and is still going on today.

My twelfth month was relatively normal.  I was so glad for that.  Less autographs, good for my hands.  Less pictures, good for my eyes.  I can’t stand the flash.  The only un-normal thing was how high the album and ticket sells were.  And something seemed weird about Nick.

I don't know why Nick was acting so weird.  I just ignored it.  We have a concert coming up so I just decided to forget about it.
