Andrew sat on the pack bench with his head lowered and his eyes red from crying. Quinn sat beside him not knowing how best to comfort him, she had talked to Kaitlin but the girl didn't even have a single bit of remorse for what she did."Things are going to change now, aren't they?" Andrew asked out of the blue.The answer to that is 'yes' but Quinn couldn't bring herself to say it, she has a feeling that things were going to change for the worst."I'm sorry Andrew, i'm sorry things had to end like this, it's all because of Kaitlin""no Quinn, it's not Kaitlin's fault. I'm not going to blame anyone for my mistakes, I knew this was going to happen anyway" he lifted his head and stared straight ahead into space "you know, I'm kind of happy that this happened. All this happy times I spent with Amelia seem so false, i'm glad she knows the truth now""but Andrew, she might never forgive you, you might never get your sister's forgiveness""I know she won't forgive me and I deserve it.

A FEW MONTHS LATER."Congratulations son" Patricia hugged her son, smiling happily "I'm so proud of you""thank you mum" they released the hug and Patricia studied her son with a warm smile."You're finally through with high school and you know, this is the beginning of a new chapter in your life, I hope you're going to do things right this time"He nodded without hesitation "yes mum, I promise that i'll never disappoint you again"She fixed his graduation hat properly "I know you won't""Andrew!" Quinn ran fowards but halted when she noticed Patricia "Oh hi Mrs Benson""Hello Quinn, congratulations on your finally becoming a high school graduate""Thank you Mrs Benson"Patricia nodded and smiled at her son "it seems like you need a little time with your girlfriend, I'll just go find your dad""bye mum""bye"She walked away and Quinn wasted no time in jumping into Andrew's arms. She squealed in delight and Andrew laughed, amused by her excitment."someone seem excited to be finally th
The party was still going on when Andrew made his way in through the doors that were already opened wild to welcome those who were yet to come. Andrew tug the protesting figure known as Amelia Benson his little sister forward as they carefully avoided the drunken bodies that were sprawled on the floor. He notice Amelia cringing her face in disgust when she noticed many couples making out shamelessly, not caring to be seen by others. "Drew i don't think i want to be here" she informed as her eyes roam around the place in horror at the sight before her. Andrew rolled his eyes at her statement. This is what normally happens at a teen party but his sister was way too isolated to notice."It' normal lia. It's just that you haven't been to one before"She didn't reply knowing he was right but he still notice the way her eyes look around clearly not liking what she was seeing He tugged her through the mass of sweaty bodies dancing t
"Amelia get your ass out of bed!" A loud angry voice yelled loudly outside Amelia's bedroom followed by a loud angry knock on the door. Groaning she got out of bed sluggishly. She was slowly getting used to his harsh treatment. It all started after that party. Andrew's attitude towards her changed. He suddenly changed from being a caring big brother to a nasty mean bully like the others at school. It was a real shock to her because she never expected him to do such a thing. Although back then she saw the guilt in his eyes and convince herself that he didn't mean it but as months went by, he became extremely mean and desperate to be fully accepted by the popular jocks at school. Even if it meant giving her new bruises everyday so he could brag about it to his friends and it didn't help that their parent are always not around.Signing loudly, she picked up her glasses on the bedside table and put it on, then she got out of bed limping her way tow
Amelia and Dave sat on the rough floor at the roof top munching on Dave's pasta which he said was prepared by his mother.Amelia has visited his home many times and she knew his mother is a great cook.The Carver family home was her safe heaven. It is the place she usually goes to escape her brother's bullying especially when their parent were not present and his family welcomed her with opened arms. She even made friends with his twin younger siblings Gabriel and Gabriella and they seem to love her a lot.Dave has the loveliest of family but Erin's betrayal changed him a lot and she could understand him but she didn't like the hurt in his eyes whenever he sees her. She wanted him to move on.Slowly, she glance at him and watch him chewing slowly; his eyes staring straight ahead of him in deep thought. She knew exactly what he was thinking but instead of bringing it up, she decided to cheer him up."Dave" she called washing down her pasta
Andrew sat in the waiting room at the hospital staring at the white wall before him. He was still in shock at the incident which took place a while ago.His vision blurred with tears as he realize the reason for his sister's accident. It was all his fault.Amelia was lying there at that hospital room fighting for her life because of him.If only he had been a good brother to her If only he had protected her all this wouldn't have happened.What would he say to his parent? How would he tell them that he was the reason why his sister is so close to death.The thought cause his heart to tighten in hurt and his eyes glass with unshed tears.He was in so much emotional pain that he didn't notice Dave, Amelia's friend who has been pacing around finally came in front of him."This is all your fault" he accused; his voice was shaky and tears were running down his eyes. Dave never openly stood up to Andrew so
Weeks flew by and Amelia remained in a coma. The doctors had said that she had suffered a severe head injury and so it was a fifty to fifty chance that she might survive.Andrew on the other hand grew depressed. He kept to himself and was no longer associating himself with anyone especially his friends.He wanted to keep to his words and become the best brother to Amelia even if that means avoiding Francis for the rest of his highschool.Andrew kept himself busy by visiting Amelia everyday at the hospital despite his parent urging him to take a little break and rest but Andrew wouldn't do that. He wanted Amelia to survive; he wanted her to know that he was ready to be a good brother to her again.But then again there was Dave. Andrew knew that Dave wouldn't make it easy for him but he was going to try.Dave visited Amelia often and his parents were becoming fond of him. Amelia barely had any friends so their parent were more than happy to
Andrew looked around the parking lot hoping that Francis hadn't left. He searched for Francis car and he spotted it at the other side and noticed that Francis was almost getting inside."France" he called as he ran to meet him.Francis hands held the car door confused as he searched for the voice that called his name. He notice Andrew running towards him and he waited to hear what he had to say.He hoped it would be something nice and hopefully nothing mean.Francis knew that he doesn't deserve anything from Andrew but Andrew is the only real friend he ever had even if he didn't want to admit it sometimes.He was stund when Andrew suddenly pulled him into a hug but it didn't take long for him to relax and hug him back, his eyes heavy with tears."You moron. You call me your friend and you didn't tell me about your family"Francis allowed the tears to fall. He didn't care if he looked like a cry baby at this moment. All t
