• My name is Caitlin. I’ 16, i live with my mom and older brother Zander. My dad went to prison when i was 13 and is still there. my mom got a divorce and tells people he’s dead. I have only 1 friend, me and him have been friends since i was 7 and he was 8. His name is Alex. He’s amazingly gorgeous. i loved him. He didn’t know this of course. i didn’t want to ruin our friendship.
    I was on my way home, me and Alex were skateboarding. something caught my eye and i didn’t see the pothole in front of me. i fell. straight on my knee. i sat there for a min not saying anything in a lot of pain. "oh my god Caity!! Are you ok" Alex asked laughing uncontrollably. i nodded and pretended to cry. "Awww caity hunny don’t cry " he came to help me up and i tripped him "Look who’s laughing now!!" i giggled. we got up and went home. he lived a block away from me. so he dropped me off and left. I walked in "Hey Zander!! I’m home" he came out of the kitchen. "Ello sis" he hugged me. "umm can Blake come over" he asked pleading. "I don’t care. he’s cool just don’t let mom catch u" "Thanks!!" Blake was zanders boyfriend. my mom didn’t know that zander was bi. I ran upstairs and listened to music. when I got a call.
    I listened for a second and I heard it was Alex’s ring tone ,so I answered

    Me: Hey Alex what’s up?
    Him: I- I need to come over. please we need to talk.
    Me: umm ok?
    Him: be there soon, thanks caity love you
    Me: k love you 2

    i wandered what that was about, oh well. I fixed my hair and makeup and ran down stairs. right as he showed up in his car. he ran to me and hugged me tightly..
    " Alex what’s wrong" I slowly asked
    "My brother, Tyler, is dead.... I found him in his room"
    I hugged him tight. him and Alex were close. "I’m so sorry hunny" I cried a little. I loved Tyler like a brother.
    "can I stay here for a little, I don’t want to go home again" he whispered.
    I nodded and helped him to my room. we laid on my bed and listed to music. he wouldn’t let go of me. and I didn’t move., we laid there for a while. I closed my eyes and he thought I was sleeping, he was talking to me.
    "Caity, I love u.. thanks for being here with me" I sat up.
