Remember Me

Chapter 1: Flashbacks and Introductions

ADRIAN'S P.O.V

*Flashback*

"Hey Noel," I yelled as I looked for my twin brother around our house. Little light shone through the small windows as sunset neared.

"what's up, Ad? " Noel said coming out of our room.

"lets go play ball in the backyard," I said.

"Sure. Let me go grab my ball," he smiled and ran into the room. "Let's go,"

We ran down the stairs like the kids we were and took our positions on the damp grass in our huge backyard. Noel was younger than me by a few minutes and i always used to rub it in his face .No matter how mean i was to him, he never left my side.

"Hey! I start, remeber?" I cocked an eyebrow at him. He sighed and handed me the ball.

"Right. I forgot." He said softly and ran back.

"Okay! Here's my awesome throw!" i gathered a;; my strenght and jerked my arm upwards to throw the ball. "Catch it. Catch it," i yelled with excitement.

But the ball went abve his head and into the backyard nexy door. Oops. That's where Mr. D lived. No one knew what his actual name was. He was just... scary and not a nice person to talk to to.

"Adrian!" Noel whined. "Now who's gonna get the ball? Obviously, its me. Because you're the older one, right?''

He threw a fit and walked away probabaly to get the ball.

"Get it quickly, okay?" I yelled and lay down on the grass gazing at the beautiful purple sky above me.

The purple in the sky turned balck and Noel still had'nt cpme back. I suddenly felt cold as i called for him. Nervousness fillled my stomac as i thought about what might've happened to him.

''Noel?" No reply.

"Noel? Are you still there?"

"Adrian! Save me! My head hurts. Ow! Please!" yelled Noel. I sprinted to the Mr. D's backyard to find him on the ground clutching his head and yelping beside the ball.

*End of flashback*

I opened my eyes and got up with a jerk. I looked round me and i was in my room. Sweat rolled my chest. Obviously it was a memory of my brother haunting my dreams. I missed Noel ,Like a lot.

I swallowed the lump in my throat nervously and glanced at the watch on my nightstand it was just 2 am.

Why did all the bad things happen to me? What had I done to deserve a life like this? Okay, I shoplift and rob but that's besides the point. I'm Adrian Callaway. I'm 17 and I live alone in a pool of debts left behind by my father. My brother, Noel Callaway, was the only one who actually understood me. He was caring and affectionate and the perfect example of a brother. The twist? He died. How? Because of fucking blood cancer at the age of 14. Karma hits you pretty hard when it does, right? But I did not deserve this.

I got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and grimaced as the cool air and bright light hit my face. I pulled out a bottle of water and poured its contents on my face calming me down. I put it back and reached out for the knife on the kitchen island. I positioned it on my wrist and cut through my skin ruthlessly. I sucked in some air sharply as the pain hit me and blood oozed out like an overflowing river. I suddenly felt lighter and better. Like all the burden was taken off my shoulders. Yeah. I'm a self harming, broken and messed up GUI studying at Willow Wood High in Willow Town, North Carolina. My bitch of a girlfriend, Emma Knightly, only wanted sex. No one but me knew what I was going through. Not even my best friend, Alex Carter. Even he didn't know about Noel.
