Jake is gay. It was the major thought in my mind. It wasn’t the idea of it that bothered me, it was the possibilities my brain came up with. Why wouldn’t he want me to find out about it? He didn’t think I was homophobic did he? Of course he did.Maybe he thought I knew, that Katie told me and that’s why I tortured him. Or maybe he thought I’d tell Zayn but what if Zayn knows? They are best friends, so close one would think they were…. Oh god, what if they were…Katie said someone had anonymously sent a pic to her but the other guy’s face was concealed. She couldn’t make out anything aside that it was a guy because of the poor lighting in the room.A loud noise downstairs threw me out of bed and back to reality. I grabbed my ball and began to tiptoe downstairs but when I got there, all I found was Gracie, twirling to an imaginary song and

 I am crazy. What I was about to do felt right but the timing was off but there is never a perfect time for anything so I tried not to grip the wheel too hard. Travis had said he was home and his car in the garage confirmed it. Inside, Tyler was by the stairs stoning. He smiled at me with an ease that only those plants could provide.‘Hey bro’. He grinned‘You finally lost that last bit of shame you had left? Can’t even take your business to your room’.‘It’s a free world, besides, who would watch the door?’I shook my head and decided to hurry things up so he could concentrate on his highness.‘Where is Travis?’‘The little cub is behind at the court’.I chuckled‘You are lucky I can’t tell him you called him that’.‘Why not?’ He wiggled his brows and I waved him off before walking to the back of the house.Tr

 Pokello was out of the car with lightning speed as soon as we got to her house. I locked the door and rushed in after her into the living room. The sight that greeted me was unusual; all the Harden brothers were gathered in the living room, including Trevor who was smoking joint. Travis sat on the sofa arm with a bottle of whiskey staring off. For the first time, the twins sat rubbing shoulders by the stairs, avoiding eye contact with everyone.It wasn’t until Pokello fell to her knees by the sofa where Tyler was laid that I looked at him. He was still, unnaturally so, like he was holding his breath. His black t-shirt was damp by the chest region and his eyes looked like they had been forced closed. Travis took a swig from the bottle and I followed the movement to his mouth, noticing the red stain on his palm.Pokello began sobbing or maybe she already had and they just got louder, I wasn’t sure. She gripped his torso and moaned i

I didn't know what was happening, I'm not sure anything was but I felt light and my head felt like a ball of candy floss. I felt calm, maybe I was going to heaven, it wasn't so bad but my eyes faltered open and when I saw those green orbs blocking my view of everything else I knew there could be heaven on earth and I smiled. He pushed the hair away from my forehead.'Go back to sleep captain, let the morphine work'. Then it was dark again, maybe I was dreaming.I woke up to the annoying sound of things being placed on metal. As my ears adjusted to the harsh light, I scanned the room. White walls, cheap TV, IV fluid, no undies; hospital.My mom stood to my left creating more of that annoying sound by placing more stuff on the small table there.'Mom'. She was a little startled as she turned to caste sunken eyes on me.'Baby. Are you okay?' she sat on the bed an

           She still managed to look wild even when beaten down, shot and broken, the girl I love still didn’t back down, she fought to live and conquer and I couldn’t be more smitten.She stirred in her sleep and frowned deeply, she must have been having a bad dream, I knew I would have a ton of them if I had gone through what she had, not that I didn’t have my fair share of nightmares. I guess it’s something we will both have to live with. Things will get better, for her sake, I had to believe they would.Sue placed a hand on my shoulder, she had returned to the room with the doctor shortly after Meghan fell asleep. They said she was okay and that was all I needed to hear.‘Go home Zayn. You’ve been here for over 24hours, you need rest and you stink. It wouldn’t hurt to shave too’. She pulled on a serious tone that just made me laugh. ‘What if she
