Trying to wake up was like trying to come back to life after you've died. It's impossible. Except this time, it was mandatory for me to go to school.

For one I had to apologize to Luke. Second I had to see what he wants to do from here on out, and I also need to ask Ashton a question. Wow this is still so weird knowing I go to school with 5 Seconds of Summer.

I heard a commotion outside my door, and just assumed it was my parents. I pulled back the covers of my bed, and the cold hit like a brick. I casually walked out of my room to find my dad sitting down.

"Morning sweetie," he said.

"Morning dad," I said and faked a smile.

"How'd ya sleep?"

"Good. You?"

"Good," he said. There was then this awkward silence in the room, so I continued to get ready for school with my normal routine. I showered then blow dried my hair, and then straightened it. I put it up in a pony tail. You might ask: why put your hair up in a pony tail if you just straightened it?

Well I have the curliest frizziest hair ever. Every time I brush my hair it goes out about 20 feet. Okay, maybe I am being a little over dramatic. But it gets really bad during the summertime. Riley still thinks that my hair is naturally straight, and I think everyone else does to.

As I was about to head to school I heard something,"Hey let me come with you."

I stopped dead in my tracks. It sounded so much like my brother, but it couldn't be he was away at college. I turned around to see my brother behind me.

"Steven?"

"Hey squirt," he said and pulled me into a hug.

"Hey what're you doing home?"

"I have some good news that I want to tell you," he said.

"Alright I was just leaving for school so tell me on the way their, and you can stay and visit teachers all day," I told him.

"Sounds tempting to visit teachers all day," he said saurcastically. "But I will pass on that and tell you on the way to school and take your truck back home and pick you up after school."

"Oh okay," I said and I headed out the door. I climbed in my truck and seconds later Steven climbed in. I started the ignition, and started driving.

"So I don't know if you knew, but me and a couple of my friends started a band recently," he said. I vaguely remember him telling me so I nodded. "Well this big record company reached out to us and offered us a record contract."

My breathing hitched for a minute realizing my brother would be leaving for good. "That sounds incredible, but you'll be leaving me for good?"

"No I won't ever leave you I promise. If you want when you graduate high school you can come live with me, and I'll help pay for your college tuition since I know mom and dad won't be able to," he said.

"You promise Steven?"

"I promise that I will never leave you for good. That's just nonsense," he said.

"Well it sounds amazing!"

"Thanks Dylan. I'm not telling mom this. She can find out on her own," he said and I completely agreed.

See me and my brother are done with my mom. We just want nothing to do with her. She made his life a living hell before he moved out, and she continues to make my life a living hell.
