			<title>Chapter 2. So We Meet Again</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Melody walked the streets of London, her hood pulled up over her head to shield her from the British rain. She blended in with the crowd, her light much dimmer- less radiant- these days. Life had been a rollercoaster ride between Melody and Zayn, both of them completely different ..</description>

			<title>Chapter XIII</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I woke up with a start, confused and groggy. My cheek was smushed against some sort of fabric, and it was damp from sweat and possibly drool. What an attractive sleeper I was. It took me a moment to figure out where I was as I slowly fluttered my eyelids open and closed to get rid..</description>

We all huddled around him.&amp;nbsp;  I raised my eyebrows. &amp;ldquo;How do you ..</description>

			<description>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I leaned back in my chair and drummed my freshly manicured fingers on the wooden surface of the table. I brushed a curl out of my face and made sure not to mess up my makeup.
