"Hey"

Reid looked down from his placement, from the roof of his house to find crystal climbing out his room window to sit next to him

It was quite before he feels the cigarette that was in his hand be taken out, looking beside him he catches a glimpse of Crystal putting the cigarette into her mouth, and he started to get flashbacks from yesterday in the church where he saw the girl he was secretly in love with and his best friend locking lips. This seemed to make him angry, and Crystal noticed, it was the way he quickly turned his head and made and exaggerated sigh that gave it away

"What happened to you yesterday?"

Reid doesn't turn his head as he answers "what'd you mean"

She stairs at the side of his face for a couple of seconds before letting the smoke out of her mouth

"I mean yesterday night, one minute you're laughing with me and you looked like you where having a good time and the next thing I know I don't know where the fuck you are." She states with a soft voice

"Didn't think you'd notice."

"Yeah well I did, seriously Reid what is going on with you. You're like happy and laughing and talking to me and then suddenly you like switch and you ignore me and you're depressed I mean I know everyone goes through there own shit Reid but instead of hiding away and making the people around you feel like there doing something wrong, talk about it. It's amazing how much it can help."

Not once did Reid look at her

"I had to go home" Crystal let out a sarcastic chuckle to that "my mom messaged me, she was going out she needed me to look after Mia."

"Bullshit, Mias fourteen years old, your mom doesn't mind her staying alone and you know how I know that... you told me. You told me that Reid, just like you told me everything."

Reid said nothing. With the silent response Crystal scoffed and gave up.

She got up throwing the half finished cigarette into his lap and walking back into the house leaving Reid on the roof by himself.

And when he's there, by himself he starts to think. Think real hard. Maybe this is it, this is what being alone feels like. He hated it. But he couldn't help but think this is the feeling he was looking for, the feeling, the final step, the final push before he decides if this is how it ends

Sitting alone on a roof, with his dark thoughts and a body that's slowly dying. This is how he saw his last days happening

But not at 15, not this early.

He didn't deserve this, this young.











"So are you gonna tell me what happened yesterday"

Looking up Crystal saw Fiona looking at her and steve walking in behind her

"Hi steve" she says looking back down at the magazine popping a grape in her mouth hearing a "hey" in return ignoring her sisters previous question

"Seriously Crystal, I'm not joking. I understand school can be stressful okay, I know. But you need it. You told me you wanted to get out of this place, leave the south side. You can't do that without school." Fiona stated

Hearing the serious tone Crystal looked up.

"I just wasn't feeling the best."

"Oh and ditching school and getting drunk is gonna make you feel any better. You're starting to sound like frank."
And with that sentence crystal breaks inside

Crystal loves her sister. And she never once blamed her for all the shit that her and her siblings have gone through. But in they moment when they six words left her sisters mouth, Crystal hated her. Fiona new if there's one thing hates most in this world, it's being compared to her parents, and Fiona new that better that anyone.

But instead of throwing a fit and screaming at her sister and throwing things like Fiona expected she would, Crystal slowly got up of her chair and started walking up the stairs to her room.

No one was there because they where all looking for frank because he'd 'gone missing' earlier that day, but Crystal didn't care. He could be dead and she still couldn't care less.

So when she got to her room she crawled up onto her brother carls bed and cried. And cried. And cried. Till no more tears could possibly come out.

A couple minutes later the sound of the door downstairs opening caught her attention. But she didn't move.

Then the next thing to reach her ears was her family's laughter downstairs

In they moments she felt so unwanted.

Her best friend Dosent want to talk to her, her sister sees her as a monster. And her family are downstairs without her not caring that she's not there.

Next thing she know the door to the room opens. Crystal turns her head to see her younger brother Carl at the door

He doesn't say anything just gets into bed and hugs her and continues hugging her till they both fall asleep
