Sweet Nothing (5SOS)

Chapter 1

I move away and watch you move through the walls,

If this is a game, then I'll sit out,

Everyone's a winner,

With a heart that small.

Keep me up, keep me up,

Oh I won't sleep tonight,

These rules were made so long,

And you know they're right.

-My Head's a Prison and Nobody Visits. You Me At Six

Chapter 1

Juliet's POV

Death. Death. Death. The only word that brings me comfort and pain in the same sentence. Actually, my brother name means about the same. For me anyway. But the only one left is me and my brothers. So, I just think ahead. My brother Brad is 20 so he can make his own choices. I'm 16 years old so I can't live on my own no matter how much I want to leave, plus Brad convinced me that I wouldn't be able to anyways. My brother Brad doesn't want me to leave so why would I? My other brother Ryder already left me. Like hell I'd leave the only person I have left.

Even though sometimes Brad gets physical with me he doesn't mean it. When my best friend Clair found out she wanted me to tell. But if I told then we would be separated. Obviously. Plus Brad told me about Foster homes and orphanages and all that, and how people there would be way worse then him.

The love that Brad and I share is very complicated. We are both the younger children. We look out for each other. My friend has never understood. My friend's dad is a cop. Another reason I can never go over to her house.

Clair has been my only friend for a while now and I know she's just trying to protect me but nothing would help. Brad is just going through a rough time with mom and dad being gone. (Ahem, Death.) And then Ryder leaving us. He just taking his anger out against me. Hell I probably deserve this. I was a sucky-ass daughter.

Clair and I are were hanging out in my room. Brad is probably in a bar getting drunk, he does that when he's having a rough time. (Which is a lot). Clair want's me to move in with her, but I just can't leave Brad alone. He needs me, It's the worst time to leave.

"It's Summer! School got out two days ago you should be partying not waiting for you brother to get home!" She looked at me while I just sighed.

"All your bruises are just getting worse," Clair adds.

"It's nothing, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all," I lied.

"Juliet come one, I know that's a lie, ever time I go to touch you, you wince," Clair gives me a look of pity.

"I'm fine just stop talking about this," I clenched my teeth.

"Fine, but someone is going to notice, Brad is just going to get into bigger trouble, just tell someone, I can tell my dad," Clair puts her hand on my shoulder.

"NO! You're not telling your dad, If Brad finds out I told anyone he'd kill me, He doesn't mean any of this, it's just because mom and dad...," I pretend to choke up about my parents to get her to leave and just shut up.

"OK, whatever you say, I better get going, it's getting late, And Brad is probably going to get back soon, call me if you need anything," Clair patted my shoulder and left.

I know what I'm doing, Brad would never mean to do it on purpose. He loves me and I love him. We are all the other has. And that's all I need right now.

A/N

Sorry it's short they get longer. This Chapter is also really bad but I had to introduce people and stuff, they get better!
