Reed, Jax and Alex at their dorm their first year of college.

My friends often tease me about how I probably fell off a crib – or some shit that damaged my socializing skills – when I was born, because in their opinion it shouldn't be normal to hate everyone. A little hypocritical of them – who don't bother with anyone beyond their family members or someone they want to fuck – because they're the same as me. I don't deny I'm the less funny, patient and nonchalant of the three of us...but it's not my fault I don't laugh at pathetic jokes and find everyone irritating at all times.

Sometimes even my friends and family – even though I love them. I don't know why. I don't know if it's because I don't allow myself to relax like Jax and Alex do when we're not outside the football field. I don't know if it's because my father is always up my ass ever since I have a memory. I don't know if it's because I feel like something in my life – don't know what, though – is missing and I'm yet to find it.

— "I'm beat," Jax says, laying down on his bed, and pulling me out of my train of pitiful thoughts. "Are we up for some partying tonight? I heard Loren's brother is throwing one at his house, and there's gonna be super-hot chicks".

— "I'm not staying in tonight" Alex assures, throwing his gym bag on the floor and walking towards our shared closet. "Not when I know the next weeks back at home are going to be boring".

— "Mylah must be thrilled to hear your excitement about seeing her again after a year and a half" I tease, referring to his older sister who lives states apart and is running for Pediatrics.

Alex snorts. "Fucker. Don't get me wrong, I love my sister, and I know she's excited to see me. I also am. But I already know how it's going to go. She's going to be all clingy, huggee and kissy as soon as I step inside my house, and two hours later – and for the rest of the week – she'll go partying with her hometown girlfriends while I'm bored at home".

— "You know you can always come to me," I remind the obvious 'my house is your house' to him. He doesn't even have to ask – never did back when we were younger – before showing up at my house. It doesn't bother me. In fact, I like it. It's always been nice having him around and distracting my poor ears from hearing just singing and gossip from my sisters.

— "I fear I'm not going to do that," Alex tsks, grabbing some clean clothes and shutting the closet door. "I'm afraid of Raelynn and how she's always trying to makeup everyone with permanent markers just because she's bored. I'm not gonna be on the end of that list. And Brooke...she's Brooke".

— "Whatever. You're home when I'm not dragged into my sister's craziness, then" I pull my phone from my jeans pocket, dismissing whatever he was meaning regarding Brooke. 10.09 p.m. "I'm hungry, and in the mood to eat cheap greasy food before we do whatever we decide on. Burgers tonight?".

— "I'm in for that" Jax chimes in, excitedly. "Burgers. Then party, I'm already deciding for the three of us. I'm not staying in our last night here – not after how much studying and training has been done. And certainly not for the same reason as Alex, and it's that I know I'm not gonna party back in Houston".

— "Wanna join our pathetic 'don't-party-no-friends-moody-ass-fuckers' gang back in Philly? You can stay at my house if you want" Alex proposes, and I roll my eyes at their dramatics of spending one week without any chicks or parties.
