~Rob's POV~
I feel bad for Preston, he seems like a really nice person. I have been worried, but I think I should sleep too now.

-(30 minutes later)-
I can't sleep.
I try to make my eyes tired by using my phone. It's midnight, nice, I still haven't slept! I sneak downstairs and grab a glass of water. When I'm coming upstairs my dad steps out of his room.
"What are you doing at this hour of the night?" he says in a forceful voice because he had just been sleeping as he looks at his watch.
"I couldn't sleep and I was thirsty, sorry." I reply.
He nods and walks into his room.
After a few minutes of lying in bed, I drift off to sleep.

~Preston's POV~

My little brother walks into my room.
"Wake up fattie." he says and walks out of the room.
Wow they all hate me so much don't they.. Hooray for the people I live with, not even going to call them family anymore. I get ready and walk out the door.
"You forgot your breakfast.." my dad says to me as I close the door.
Good, I'm going to try get skinnier so they can't call me 'fattie' anymore.
I wait at the bus stop as I realise I was 10 minutes early.
Rob must have seen me as he comes outside and walks towards the bus stop.
"Hey Preston, you okay? You seemed down last night." he asks me.
Why would he care?
"Family problems. Why would you care if nobody does though?" I say to him.
He looks at me in shock.
"Preston you're my friend and I just hate seeing people sad in general. I'm sure there's others who care!" he says.
Friend? I'm his friend now? Okay, that's fine.
I smile at him and say "Thanks, but nobody really does.."
He pouted.
I laugh as I always find pouts cute, I don't know why.
I guess I just do.
More people start arriving behind us as we chat. We get on the bus and he sits beside me.
His friend, one of the popular guys, says to him "Why are you sitting beside.. that.." as he points at me.
I smirk and look out the window.
"Because he's my friend." Rob defends me.
"Oh go talk with 'loverboy' like I care.." I see Rob's face go red and I turn to the window again.
A few seconds later I say to him "Thanks. Nobody ever defends me.. you're probably one of the first people who did before all my friends had to move away. All of them, within 3 weeks.. Sorry I'm kind of ranting now. I'll stop.." I say and just stare down at the floor with an emotionless face.
"No, I don't mind at all! You can rant all you want to me, I'd be happy with that because I'd know how you feel so I can help!" I rant to him about all the things my family and people at school say to me and when I look at his face he seems to be horrified.
"Oh my god Preston I had no clue, I'm so sorry. Sometimes they are inhumane *$@&'£ to me too.." He says to me.
They're mean to one of their closest friends? Okay that's just messed up.
"Wow, there's something wrong with them in their" I say as I point to my head and Rob laughs.

-(Time skip to after school)-
Today was better than yesterday, I guess..

~Rob's POV~
Preston and I have been talking nearly all day. I didn't even notice that it was time to go home that we had talked so much and time flew.
We walk home from the bus stop again chatting.
I wave to him signalling that I have to cross the road to my house.
"Talk to you later on Twitter I guess!" he says to me and I show him a thumbs up and close the door to get straight to homework. I think this friendship will work out well! At least a lot better than the others at school. Plus Preston doesn't really have anyone there for him, but now he has me there for him whenever he feels down..
