It had been very hard for her to even think about, much less talk about what happened to Henry and her daughter, Linda. There were some days that she didn't think she could survive the sadness. It was one thing to know that she had lost an older sister, Prue, without ever having met her, and it was another to lose both Henry and her own daughter too. It had really shaken her up at the time. Still time moved on and presented her with something she never thought she'd have again, a chance at true love. Kyle Brody, was the one man, other than Henry Mitchell that she had truly loved. True, she loved Kyle and always would, but her heart had been aching all the time ever since Henry's death. She had accepted that Henry was dead, and had pushed just about everyone away, not just Melody, but everyone, she didn't even realize that she was doing it, it was just kind of like second nature to her now. It was how she dealt with what she was going through. It wasn't really intentional but that's just...how she dealt with it. Melody seemed to bare the most resemblance in both attitude and the way she did things, just like Linda did, and it made it extremely hard for her to handle it. Kyle was a great guy, but at the same time, she didn't know where things would go with that, especially if the Elders had anything to say about it. They never did like the pairings between witches and whitelighters, even if they had allowed Kyle to become a whitelighter and then years later be returned to her, it was only a matter of time before that ended. Though if they took him again, it may just kill her.
It had been a while since Henry died, while he was taken by Barbas, the demon of fear and a resurrecting demon, and they both had been vanquished, though it wouldn't have been the first time Barbas had been. Henry, though couldn't be saved, the image of his face, the last time she saw him, had haunted her, it had been five years, her nineth year of being a witch, after their battle with Billie and Christy that he had died, though luckily she was able to have two girls and a son with him before he died. As if that wasn't heartbreaking enough, but more heartbreak was coming for her, though at the time she didn't know it. Kyle came back in her life and she had Melody though at the time she was very happy. Then unexpectedly twelve years after Henry's death, when she had been a witch for almost twenty two years, her lovely daughter Linda had been also killed by Zankou, on Friday the thirteenth, that just showed what a bad day the thirteenth was, every friday the thirteenth always ended badly. Could things get any more messed up?

Melody had been at home and decided it was time to clear the air between herself and her mothe. Melody actually loved her mother but she hated the fact that her mother couldn't stand being near her. She walked into magic school and approached her mother's office. She knocked softll on the door and waited for an answer as she thought about how strained her relationship was with her mother.

"Come in." She said rather softly. She didn't realize what had happened over the last couple years. Things were somewhat of a blur to her. It wasn't her intention to hurt anyone, but it had been extremely hard to lose Henry, but it was even harder to lose Linda and since Melody seemed to act so much like her it was extremely hard to be even in the same room with her. She loved all her kids equally, just like she loved both their fathers the same. After all, she had known Kyle long before she met and married Henry, and had never stopped loving him. Of course, the same could be true about Henry, though Kyle knew that she'd always love him. Even though he was gone, because sometimes death isn't the end for it, even she knew that since Kyle was of course technically dead.

Melody walked into her mother's office and she prepared herself for the battle ahead of her. She knew her mother wouldn't be pleased when she saw it was only her, but Melody didn't care anymore. She wasn't going to let her mother see how much her rejection had hurt her. She would just say what she had to say and leave.

She hadn't looked up. She had been facing the other way, trying to figure out schedules for some of the classes, it wasn't easy being the headmistress of a school like this. She had yet to figure it out. She didn't even realize that she was putting her own family in jeopardy like it. She just hadn't been able to deal with Linda's death like she had with Henry's. Kyle had been very helpful with easing her pain when Henry died, but it wasn't the same when Linda died, after all, she'd rather have died herself than one of her children. How do you get over the pain of losing one of your children? She had heard the door open but hadn't turned her chair around just yet. What was she supposed to do? Pretend that Linda meant nothing to her? She was not going to do that, she just couldn't.

Melody sighed "look mom I know I'm the last person that you want to see, but you can't keep doing this. You can't keep pushing me away. Do you even realize how it makes me feel when you do that? Sometimes I wish I was the one who died that day instead of Linda. She was a good person and she didn't deserve to die but I don't deserve to be treated like this either. If you don't want me around anymore just say so and I will pack my stuff and move to magic school with my friend Jen." Melody said in a determined voice.

She turned around to face Melody as she heard her daughter's voice and had listened to her talk. She didn't know what to think really. She was in Magic School constantly, she spent alot more time there than she did at home. Despite how angry and upset she was she knew she had messed up. "Look, I realize, that I haven't really been there for you or your dad recently, or for the other kids either. I am sorry for that. But...you're just so much like Linda that it's kind of hard to...well...deal with it sometimes." She got up out of her chair and walked over to her daughter. "I didn't want Linda to die, and I have been I guess a bit self-absorbed lately, wait did I just say that?" [/color] She sighed for a minute. "No, Linda, didn't deserve what happened to her, to die the way she did, nobody does..and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I guess, I've just been taking out my frustrations and my emotions basically on you and your brothers and sisters as well as your dad and that is not what I intended to do, you have to know that. I don't want you to leave Melody, it's just...been kind of well hard. You know...in my line of work, being a Charmed one and a whitelighter as well, we see death every day, but you never expect Death to come after one of your own family members and then when it does, you kind of well...beat yourself up for it, because you weren't able to save them. It's exactly how I felt when Henry died, now I will always love Henry, and there's nothing anyone can say that will change that, but he's not the first man I've loved that I've had to watch die. Your father, I also had to see him die, he wasn't always a whitelighter." This was the first time she'd been honest about what she was feeling since both Henry and Linda died. It was different when Henry died but still painful and Linda, well that was just the hardest thing she'd ever been through.

"But you don't push the others away like you push me away and I hate it. Do I mean that little to you that my feelings don't count anymore. Does it hurt you that much to be around me let alone in the same room with me. I know you miss Linda because I miss her too but I also need my mother especially now. I may sound like a brat to you but sometimes I think you care more about Henry and Kaelyn than you care about me." Melody said softly.

She walked over to Melody and wrapped her arms around her. She hugged Melody. "No, of course not, I love all of my children the same way, and it doesn't matter dead or alive, they're still important. I care about all of you the same, and I'm sorry if you think that I care more about Henry Jr, and Kaelyn more than I have you, because that is not what I want, that's not true. I have been through more than you can possibly imagine but that doesn't excuse my behavior toward you, Henry jr, and Kaelyn. You and your siblings, and your father mean the world to me, and you have to know that. I know I haven't exactly always been there, but...I'm dealing with it as best that I possibly can. I am not trying to push anyone away, it's just sometimes it's really hard to deal with especially when you remind me so much of your older sister Linda, that it's hard really to be around...you know when I was younger, I watched as both my adoptive parents were killed, and the only reason why I survived was because I was able to orb out. Then later I watched as so many of my innocents were killed including your father. I've been through more heartbreak than any one of my sisters have. I've lost not only my adoptive parents, I lost my big sister whom I never got to really meet, and then I lost your father though I got him back, but at the same time I lost Linda and Henry too, and with all that loss there comes a price." She spoke softly. She was barely able to handle anything at the moment, she hadn't really dealt with Henry or Linda's death well at all, and now Melody was bringing up old feelings.

Melody was surprised when her mother hugged her. She hadn't really spent anytime with her mother since Linda's death and made her feel like her mother didn't really care about her anymore. It was like Linda's death had completely torn them apart and she couldn't really handle her mother's rejection. She looked up at her mother as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Do you mean it, you really care about me?" Melody asked with a hopeful look on her face.

"Of course I do. I have always cared about you, and your siblings, the same way...even after Linda died, though it was just a bit harder to deal with. When you lose someone, sometimes you do things you wouldn't normally do, in this case for me anyway, I pushed you away and that wasn't what I was trying to do, but you just remind me so much of her that it's kind of hard to deal with sometimes." She was still hugging her daughter and she wasn't going to let her go, still she in some ways had to be careful.

Melody hugged her mother back "you know this is the first time you have really hugged me and stayed in the same room with me since Linda's death." Melody said with a smile. "Mom I have missed you so much." Melody said as the tears rolled down her cheeks. When she first walked into her mother's office she expected her to push her away again she didn't expect her to welcome her with open arms.

"Yeah I know...and I should've done it alot sooner I just...I guess I didn't realize that what I was doing was affecting my kids as much as it did. I mean Kyle understood but that's because he's been with me long enough to know not to really take it personally even though it is sometimes personal. When Kyle died, I nearly broke apart. I couldn't handle anything, for a while and it even took a while for me to trust guys again, to allow myself to love again, and it wasn't until Henry that I was able to do so, even though I always loved Kyle too, just in a different way. I still love Henry, and Kyle knows that, I mean I can't just all of a sudden stop loving the man who gave me three wonderful children. I'm just grateful that I haven't lost you, Kyle, Henry jr. or Kaelyn, because I know for sure if I ever did, I wouldn't be able to pick myself up off the ground. I barely handled it when Henry died and I don't know how you ever really get over losing a child." She was still hugging Melody, it was something she should've done along time ago, but it was her fear that she would lose Melody and the others as well that caused her to push them away.

Melody continued to look up at her mother her eyes bright with tears. "Why don't we ditch magic school and go catch up on lost time. We have a lot of catching up to do." Melody said in a small voice as she wiped her tears away.

She sighed for a brief moment as she looked at the scheduling board. "I've got most of the classes set at specific time frames, every day except one...that is the only one I need and it was the one I was trying to figure out before you showed up, Melody." She said softly, though she knew that anything was possible. Everything happened for a reason didn't it. "I'll tell you what, you help me pick a day for this class, and then we can do whatever it is you want to do, but I've been trying to come up with the perfect time frame for it, and the day, but I've not found anything so far that works."
