Stay

Prologue

(August 15th, 19 2011)

"Hun, you ready?!" My mom yelled from downstairs.
"Almost!" I say. I wasn't ready for high school. My mom and I just moved to our new house in Grapevine, Texas. If your wondering why I didn't include my dad, is because my mom and dad, didn't get along that well. When I was 9 my mom and dad got into a huge fight, causing my dad to hit my mom. Two years later, when I was 11 my dad got arrested for murder. And now he technically he lives in prison, so yeah, that's my life for yah.

The actual reason why my mom moved to Texas is because of her job, and her boyfriend, that I get to call dad :) My mom is way happier with him, every Friday night we gather snacks and candy to watch Marvel, or scary movies. Anyways, back to reality.

I walked downstairs to see my dad waiting for me at the front door.
"You ready kiddo?" He asked. I shrugged as I followed him out to the car. "I guess, i'm kinda nervous." We both got into the car, my dad started the ignition, and drove off.
As we got closer and closer to my school, knots started to form in my stomach, and I felt like I was gonna puke out the pancakes I had this morning.
"Here we are, Pheebs." Chris said (that's my "dads" name aka my moms boyfriend)
"Love yah, hope you have a great day as a freshman." Chris said, blowing a kiss toward me. "Thanks, love you too." I said, shutting the car door. As I walked into the entrance, I could see older kids and younger kids my age, walking up and down the halls trying to find there classes. When I found my locker, I put the key in it and unlocked it. I put my bag in it, and grabbed the books I needed for my first class. When I closed it, I noticed a tall, curly haired, cute teen, putting stuff into his locker right beside me. He gave a quick wink, along with a small smile. I exchanged the favor and gave him a little wave before watching him walk off to his class.

The first five classes were pretty fun, since it was the first day of school we just sat around class watching movies, or playing on our phones. The teen I saw earlier, was in a few of my classes, he sits beside me in biology. And I actually made a friend today, so yay!

"Hey Molly." I said, setting my tray onto the table and setting beside her.
"Hey, so hows your first day going?" Molly asked. I smiled, and shrugged. "It's going great. I've actually met a boy, well we've haven't talked but he keeps looking at me every now and then." I replied. Molly gave me that "ooh you have a crush" look. "What does he look like?" She asked, sticking a straw in her mouth. I thought for a second, "Umm, he's tall, he has really curly hair. I don't know if I remember seeing him wearing braces or not." Molly looked at me curiously, then looked over at another table filled with sophomores, juniors, and even freshman's. "You mean him?" She questioned, pointing over at the other table. I squinted me eyes to adjust my vision, even though i'm wearing glasses, and that's when I saw him. "Yeah, that's him." I replied, looking over back at Molly. She gave me a surprised look.
"What?" I said, confused as to why she looking at me like that.
"He's my brother." She smiled, and my mouth dropped.
