Hi, my name is Clary and I’m not like most girls, I have a problem. But I’ve solved this problem with help, and this is my story of how I fell in love with Louis Williams. Now, before I start my story you must understand that Louis is not your typical boy, he has issues, but don’t you even think about judging him. So here’s the story:

            I grabbed my sweatshirt and headed out the door to my bus. As I arrived at the bus stop, the bus pulled up and I got on and immediately went to the back. You see, back then, I didn’t have any friends, in fact I got bullied every day.  The bus pulled up to school and as I went to get off the school player Austin Hayes stuck out his foot and tripped me. “Why don’t you just die” Yep, that’s exactly what he said to me and to this day I know he doesn’t regret it. I slowly stood up; I was used to this by now, so it didn’t faze me much. After I got off the bus I headed to my first class, Science. I HATE science, it’s my only class with Little Miss Popular. Anastasia is the most popular girl in school. She’s rich, pretty, and a total snob. Basically she thinks she’s better than everybody else. Classic right, I know. Anyway, I went to Science class and sat down in my seat in the back. As class started Anastasia leaned over and said, “Why don’t you just go die in a hole, no one likes you.” Yeah, she’s a bitch. The rest of the day consisted of much similar things. When I got home I dropped my stuff on the floor of my room, and walked over to my window. Slowly I opened it and stuck my head out; this wasn’t the first time I’d considered suicide. Suddenly I heard footsteps on the stairs. I pulled my head out of the window and sat down on my bed just as my brother Liam walked into the room.

            “Clary” Liam said “why is your window open?”                                                      

            “Uh” Now, you have to understand, he’d caught me trying to do this before, so this was nothing new.

            “Clary, don’t do this to yourself, there’s more to life than just the pain you’re feeling. Imagine what would happen to me and Danielle if you did this!”

            “It was my fault, I need to take responsibility. Don’t you even dare to bring Dani or my gift into this, just don’t”

            “I won’t, just please, don’t do this”

            “Fine” Now right now you’re probably confused as hell. I would be to if someone started having a conversation without telling me a key thing about them. Like the fact that I have a special gift that I will tell you about……..later!  Anyway, he walked out of the room and I took out the school’s way of torturing us, also known as homework. When I finished my homework I went downstairs to see if I could find Liam. I finally found him in the kitchen with Danielle making supper. Slowly I walked into the kitchen and sat down without making a sound. Liam sneakily reached around Danielle and grabbed her hand with the spoon in it. She giggled and turned her head to give him a kiss. I couldn’t stand that, so I got up and walked out of the kitchen.

            I woke up the next morning and walked downstairs to get breakfast. When I got downstairs Liam was sitting at the table and frowning at the TV.

            “What is it big bro?” I said rolling my eyes.

            “Why would you care?” He spat. Right away I knew something was wrong, Liam NEVER talked to me like that. I walked over to the couch and looked at him. On the table right beside him, was a bottle of Sam Adams. Something was REALLY wrong, he almost never drank, and when he did, it was because something really bad had happened.
