Everett's POV

"I'm back!" I shout walking into the orphanage. "Eve!" Tyler squeals as he runs towards me. "Hey Ty." I say picking up the seven year old. "Diane wants to see you." He says. "Okay." I say putting him down. I walk to Diane's office.

"Tyler told me you wanted me." I say walking. "Yes. You have a presentation in classes tomorrow so their sending everyone home at lunch time, I want you to make lunch for everyone if thats okay with you." She says. "Okay." I say smiling.

She smiles as I walk out of her office. "Can you sing to us?" Julia asks walking towards me with Tyler and Kayley. "Sure." I say. I walk to my room and grab my guitar.

"What song?" I ask passing them my phone. "This one!" Kayley says pointing to Fallout by Marianas Trench. I smile and I start playing the guitar.

"An empty room,
I'm empty too
And everything reminds me of you
So many things
I shouldn't have missed
The more that I push
And the more you resist
It's easy to say it's for the best
When you want more
While you leave me with less

I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I'm awake, and trying
While you're sleeping like a babe
Beside him
I'm on the ledge while you're so
God damn polite and composed
And I know you see me,
And you're making it look so easy
What comes and goes,
I'd go without

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout), fallout
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout)
You're the fallout

Well now there's him,
And now there's me
The secrets you give
And the secrets you keep
And nevertheless
It's never you let
The more that I give
And the less that I get
Don't tell me to fight,
To fight for you
After this long, I shouldn't have to

I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I'm awake, and trying
While you're sleeping like a babe
Beside him
I'm on the ledge while you're so
God damn polite and composed
And I know you see me,
And you're making it look so easy
What comes and goes,
I'd go without

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout), fallout
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout)

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout), fallout
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout)
You're the fallout

I know you're fine, but what do I do?
I know you're fine, but what do I do?

I know you're fine but what about
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout), fallout
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout)

I know you're fine but what if I
(Fallout)
I'm awake, and trying
While you're sleeping like a babe
Beside him (Fallout)
I'm on the ledge while you're so
God damn polite and composed

(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout), fallout
Through the Fallout
(Fallout), Fallout (fallout), fallout (fallout), fallout
Through the Fallout
(Fallout) FALLOUT (fallout)" I sing. Tyler and Kayley are asleep in their beds and I pick Julia up.

I bring her to her and Isa's room. "Good night Eve." She mumbles closing her eyes. "Good night." I say leaving the room. I walk back to my room and I put my guitar back. "NIGHT EVERYONE!" I shout.

"NIGHT!" Diane shouts. I put my sports shorts and shirt on. I hop into bed. I plug my headphones in and I fall asleep to Marianas Trench.

"Good morning Ty!" I say walking into the breakfast area. "Morning." He says eating his food. I grab some cereal and I put it in a bowl. I eat it. I put my bowl in the sink and I run to get ready.

I grab my alien shirt and black high waisted shorts. I grab a black bra and black underwear. I walk to the washroom to take a shower.

"I'll see you after school." I say to Diane. I grab my bookbag and my skate board. I skate down the road. "Hey Everett." Connor says skating next to me. "Hey." I say as we skate onto the school property.

"Aparently Marianas Trench are the people doing the presentation." He says as we flip our boards up. We walk into the school and to our lockers. "Really?" I ask putting my skateboard in my locker. He nods.

"Good morning Everett and Connor." Mrs. Altmon says. "Morning." I say closing my locker. "I'll see you after." Connor says walking away. I walk upstairs to my homeroom.

×ק×ק×ק××

I stare at the floor as I walk down the hallway with my board and bookbag. I knock into someone and we fall to the floor. "Oh fuck sorry." He says as I look up. My eyes widen as I see who it is.
