Drew’s POV

“Drew come down here to the living room!”

What does my mom want this time? Ever since my dad died 2 years ago from a car accident all my mom’s  been living in was misery. She’s never happy; and it’s starting to get really irritating. She lost her job, and she’s always being lazy. Luckily we are rich by my dad because he was a lawyer.

“What do you want mom?” I said in an annoyed voice as I came downstairs.

" Can you just get me the remote so I could watch T.V.?" I gave her an annoyed face and gave her the fucking remote. She stopped me as I was going back to my room.

“How was school?”

“Really mom? You now wanna finally ask me how school was after all this time? Well, it was fine. Now can I go back to my room?

“Why are you always being so stubborn! You don’t love me anymore?! I know I’m miserable and everything but you can still talk to me! You avoid me every day!”

“I AVOID YOU MOM? Every single day you would avoid ME!  You never wanna know how I’m doing, what I do, and you don’t even care about my life! All you care about is dad, but can’t you realize he’s dead! You know what? You’re just like him, avoiding me and shit. Always focusing on business and never spending time with me! I could be out doing drugs and smoking just like you did when you were younger and you wouldn’t even care! I’m tired of you being miserable. I can’t fucking take your bullshit mom!”

“Excuse me don’t you dare talk to me in that tone! And don't start bringing up my past! Especially dad! Don’t you feel any remorse for him? I miss him okay!”

“MOM I understand that you miss him and I feel horrible that he died, but that doesn’t mean you have to be fucking miserable everyday! You’re just making him control you even if he is dead! He's not feeling anything but the more sorrow you bring to this house just makes everything worse! Do you think he would want you to be this way?”

My mom sighed. “Huh… I’m sorry Drew… I didn’t realize how much I’ve abandoned you.. I’m glad you’re not smoking or doing drugs, and I’m sorry for avoiding you ever since dad died. I just couldn’t take him being gone.. We loved each other so much and he did everything for me to make me happy.”

I sighed as I listened to mom. She always misses  him, but I miss him too. Doesn't she care about what I think? “Mom, school was great today. I met a girl named Ace and she’s my new friend. She’s very mysterious and I think I might like her.”

“ Really? Wow, well that is great,” mom said smiling. “Thank you Drew for understanding. I’m not going to abandon you anymore, well at least try to.”

“ Just try and at least  to let go off dad for awhile, you think about him way too much.”

“Alright. I love you Drew”

"Love you too mom."

I talked to her for awhile on what she could do to help herself. She promised me she was going to get help from her depression and she was going to be more active and caring towards me.

We both hugged each other and I went upstairs to my room.

Ace’s POV

“WHAT?!!!”

“Listen Ace I didn’t tell you that I got fired from my job a few months and I-“

“Ma,seriamente ? Why didn’t you tell me!?!!!”

“I just didn’t want you to feel mad or anything because look at you! You hide yourself in your room and lock the door, you almost had died because you never ate, and you’re so depressed and stressed that I didn’t want to hurt you any longer!”

“ Now we lost our home. You should’ve just told me! I would’ve understood! “

“No, Acacia, you wouldn’t.  I don’t want to talk any longer just start packing because we have to move out in 3 days.”

“UGH Ma sometimes you’re just so difficult to understand! Usted es tan difícil! Are you happy now Ma?!“ I ran upstairs to my room and shut my door hard. Why is this happening to me? Why is there so much pain in my life? Why couldn’t I just have a modern normal life?!

I came to school all mad and irritated. How could my mom do this to me? Drew started to poke me.

“What?!”                

“Well SOR-RY Ace, didn’t mean to be so pushy.”

“Whatever, just leave me alone.”

The bell rings for lunch and I leave quickly out of History class. That’s when someone grabs me from behind. Of course it’s Drew.

“Hey, what was that supposed to mean?”

“Look, I got a lot of things going on right now and I don’t need anyone talking to me right now, I just want to be alone.”

“Listen Ace, I can understand where you’re coming from. And I’m sorry you feel this way right now, but-“

“What do you mean you understand where I’m coming from? My mom and dad are both divorced and my dad is out with some dirty slut, I have no friends before you came along, everyone thinks I’m some a psychotic freaky loner anorexic bitch, I am just a depressed annoying girl, and I’m about to be homeless in less than 3 days! Wanna say you understand where I’m coming from?"

I walked off into the hallway and into the bathroom. He knew nothing about me. Why did he want to be my friend? He’s so attractive, and every girl in this school wants to be in his pants. Why does he want to spend time with me? I’m a fucking freak. I will always be. Ugh why can’t I change?! I feel like an annoying lonely ass bitch who needs friends to make her feel better  about herself. Why am I trying to avoid Drew? He’s only trying to help. I need help. But I don’t want help. I just want to be alone.

Drew’s POV

I came home and as usual my room is a mess. I have cds, my guitar, papers full of my writing,

and other garbage. I want to become a musician when I grow up. I'm already starting on my career.

"My love, I think you are the stars

Shining so bright through my eyes

Together you and I will go far

And in this moment I know we are infinite

just you and me so can't you see

my days without you are reckless."

I know it's bad, but I'm still working on it. I really hope I can finally make my dreams  come true,

and for my life to get better. My mom and I are getting together a little better, and were taking this step by step. I didn’t know Ace was going to be homeless, or that her dad is off with some random woman. Life seems to be really hard on her, but why is she alone so much? Why is everyone calling her an anorexic lonely bitch? Why does she seem so depressed? There has to be more going on with her I just have to find out...

Alright so Drew's picture is finally up, it was hard to finding a decent boy with multicolored eyes uggh, but I luckily I had found this one! And Im happy about it so yeah!
