Family ties

The call

You know how they say blood is thicker then water. That's completely true. My name is John I'm 16 years old and I'm fucking depressed as shit. Would you say I have a horrible family life no. My parents are great both my brothers are cool so that's pretty good. My social life at school on the other hand that's a different story all together. You see I've been bullied from kindergarten to now it's never stopped and my friends don't really care about my problems to them I'm .

Now it's one in the morning and I sit in my bed looking at the ceiling fan running my hands through my brown hair. I'm debating on wether to kill myself I've been crying for the past 30 minutes. I go through what got me all here. My girlfriend cheated on me, my friends don't care about my problems oh and to top it all off I was in love with my best friend who happened to be in a relationship. Damn what luck to I have right. I sigh and call the only person I know who can help me out Tay.

Tay's always been there for me. She's mainly the reason I'm even still here. I type in her number and let it ring and ring unitl I finally get her through.

"John....what's wrong" she asked with concern in her voice.
" Tay I don't know what to do anymore....I just.....I wanna give up......I don't want to live like this....not anymore" I said through tears. The line was silent for a moment I kept crying until finally she spoke up.
"John....how about.....let me see if I can get you up here with me is that okay..." She said
"You mean on tour with you and the rest of the band..."
"Yeah...you could help unload the van and stuff...john you need to get out of the house my moms been telling me how both your parents are worried john your scaring all of us please...this could help...come on....it'll be fun" she said the last part in a high pitch voice that made me grin a bit Tay knew how to make me smile.

I told her I would think about it and hanged up the phone. That's when I noticed I had 3 texts from my best friend Jordan. Just seeing her picture on my phone hurt with her brunet hair and gorgeous brown eyes it made me see I could never have her. The texts were if I was okay the obvious thing to do was lie and tell her I was fine which I did a lot. Lying came natural when it was to her.

After I texted her I thought about going on tour with Tay. This would be the first time in a long time that I had left home besides going to school. I sighed and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning at school I told my friends what was going to happen. They all said it was a good idea I smiled a bit because today would be my last day home for a long time I got a whole summer to get better. Tay called me and told me she was almost there I quickly packed my things and looked at myself one more time in the mirror. My brown hair almost covered my eyes which I hated what I hated even more about myself was my face in general I looke like a box sad really. I signed and put on my vans and beanie before giving both my parents hugs and walking out the door.

Tay stood outside smiling at me she hadn't changed a bit since I last saw her.

"Hey bud." She said as she walked over to hug me.
"Hey"
"Come on everyone's been waiting on you." And with that Tay pulled me towards the van I looked back one more time to my house knowing it would be awhile till I came home. It was going to be a long summer.
