Melody had heard the words 'No...I'm not alright." and that was more than enough for her. She felt like she had done something wrong. She shouldn't have allowed him to listen to her sing. She hurt him, even if it wasn't physical harm, it was mental and emotional. She had truly hurt someone she could consider an acquaintance. Why did she allow him to do this? This was why she was a monster. She hurt people. She hurt her adopted family by not being what they wanted, she killed men because of her curse, and she hurt everyone who wanted to be close.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry....I'm so, so sorry..." she replied as she felt tears drop from her eyes, "I didn't mean to hurt you... oh God, why did this happen?" she felt herself beginning to shut down. She couldn't help but to pull her hands from his and hide her face as she cried. The guilt and pain she felt was tremendous. It was clear she saw his pain, and felt even worse that he was trying to hide it. He was right about one thing though. If it was any other siren singing, he wouldn't be there now. While that was true, she still felt hurt.<br/><br/>"I can't put you through that again. Hurting someone who actually might be a friend to me... I hurt enough people with my existence. This just proves it even more that I'm a monster." she couldn't say another word but continued crying. Her heart was a large one. Hurting anyone only hurt her more. She could never hurt anyone intentionally as that was not in her nature. Of course, that doesn't mean she'd let herself be manipulated or  taken advantage of.
