Twisted

Chapter 1

Hi, I'm Clair and I just turned 17. I have a younger brother and an Aunt that takes care of us. Everyone was happy before both of my parents died in a car crash last year. My brother is only 15 and he is having a tough time going trough all of this. So, he uses drugs. Over the past year without my parents around, it has been pretty crazy, but the worst part is... Getting to know the real world we live in!

* This past year *

"Why won't you stop this nonsense Adam?!" I yelled at my younger brother.
"Stop treating me like a baby Clair!" He yelled back at me.

He just walked away not saying another word. I just stood there for a moment on school ground shaking my head, wondering what I'm suppose to do with him. How am I suppose to make him better?? It's been 6 months since our parents died and he is still skipping class and doing drugs! I was so distracted I didn't even notice my two best friends were standing right next to me.

-Hannah was tall but not to tall and had blond hair and blue eyes!
- Chloe was short, probably like 5'3 and had light brown hair!
To me, they both were so pretty. I had blond hair with green eyes and was
about 5'6.

"Hey!" They both said walking closer to me.
"Hi" I said back not very enthusiastically.
"What's wrong?" Chloe asked.
"Nothing, just Adam." I said in a frustrated tone.
"It better be nothing, because we need your help to set up the dance for next week!" Hannah said being her always excited self.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see that Chloe understood how I felt, so when Hannah left she came and gave me a giant hug. She told me everything's going to be alright. And I nodded hugging her back to show her that I was fine.

Chloe and I walked down the hall together to get to our first class... When I walked past the office I didn't even notice Chloe wasn't with me anymore. I looked back to see where she went and she was standing there at the door of the office staring at someone. When I came over I asked her who she was looking at... She didn't answer but, I heard her mumbling under her breathe "please be cute" like 7 times in a row until HE turned around!

He was gorgeous. He had the most smooth looking skin I've ever seen and perfect cream colored hair with green eyes! Chloe and I just stared at him as he left the office. She let out a big sigh once he was out of hearing zone.

"I've got to get to class Chloe. I'll see you at lunch." I told Chloe as I was walking away.
As I was walking to class I saw my brother stumble as he was making his way into the bathroom. I then knew he was on drugs. I ran after him, not even realizing I went into the boys bathroom.

"Give me them!" I yelled at him
"Are they on you??" I asked patting him down, making sure they weren't on him.
"What? No!" He screamed back at me.
I was still checking him to make sure and then I looked at his eyes to see if anything was wrong.
"Stop that" he said pulling away and walking quickly out of the boys bathroom.

I was so mad again. I stormed out of the boys bathroom. Once I was out of the door, I ran straight into someone that knocked me over.

"Ow!" I screamed at the person
"Sorry" he said back
"I'm Jake" he said introducing himself while offering me a hand to help me stand up with.
"I'm Clair" I said as I stood up to realize it was HIM. The guy from the office.
"Ow!" I said again, realizing my hand really hurt. I looked down and saw I was bleeding, I must have cut it trying to grab onto something to stop me from falling, but I obviously failed.
"You should probably get that check" he said while I was looking at my hand. When I looked up he was gone.
