I woke up to phone playing Rihanna "Take A Bow" 

Take A Bow . By: Rihanna

Oh, how about a round of applause, yeah

A standing ovation
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out

[Chorus:]
Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talking' bout'
Girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a re-run
Please, what else is on (on)

Oh, and the award for
The best lie goes to you (goes to you)
For making me believe (that you)
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech, oh

How about a round of applause
A standing ovation

But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now

After the song finished I was crying again. What was wrong with me? 

*knock knock* 

"Go away!" I knew it was Gray. But I didn't want to talk to him. He was the last person I wanted to see. 

"Brae, It's Gray. Please let me in." 

"No!! Get out of here! I don't want to talk to you." 

"Brae, I'm so sorry! Please just let me in. We need to talk." 

"Fine." I replied back. I got up, and instantly fell down to the floor. 

"BRAE!!! Are you okay? What's happening in there? Let me in right now." 

"I'm fine. I'm coming right now. I just stubbed my toe." 

I got up, limping, and unlocked my door. Then walked back to my bed sitting under the covers. 

Graysen walked in, studyin me. 

"Braelynn?"

"what?!" I spat back at him in an angry tone.

"I'm really sorry for everything yesterday. I didn't mean to just leave you there with everybody saying that messed up stuff to you and cornering you. I feel really bad."

"Oh do you? Well good! I'm glad you feel bad because I know that you really don't! I know that you don't really care about me. I know you care more about your reputation at school because you're a 'jock' and all that shit! This, all of this! This is just an act to you. You don't actually care. That's why you don't want everyone to know at school that I am your sister. You're only sister! But you just want to feel good about yourself and you think apologizing is going to work. Well here's a reality check Graysen, IT'S NOT!" I said back with anger and tears welting in my eyes.

"Braelynn, I'm so sorry. I know I've been a horrible big brother to you. I feel so bad. Please don't say that. I really do care about you. You're my baby sister. My only sister. I love you, I really do. Plea-" He kept talking but I cut him off.

"Save it for the audience Gray. Get out of my room." I got him up and pushed him out of my room. 

"Brae, please do-" he started saying but I slammed the door on his face. 

I looked at the time on my phone and saw that it was already 6:20. I had to get ready to be at school by 7. So I grabbed my phone and pressed "Shuffle" on my  itunes. My phone then started playing One Call Away by Charlie Puth.
