*Katie's POV*

That night, I broke. If I wasn't broke already, I definitely was now. Of course it took me a while to sober up. Crying helped. A lot.

After I got told, I broke down on the floor. I just cried and cried and cried.

It felt like I stayed in that position for a day but I soon moved up to my bedroom, and I didn't leave for a week. Calum would come in and sometimes we would cry together but most of the time, he would come to comfort me.

I didn't need comforting.

I needed Keith.

Luke, Becca, Michael and even Ashton came to visit me, I wasn't in the mood for any visits though, yet I had enough flowers to open up my own store. Joy and Mali were upset as well at the fact that David was gone. I hadn't seen Calum cry about that yet.

I hadn't ate, I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted my brother.

After spending a week crying, I was no longer upset, I was angry. This all happened because of David.

Joy had said she got a phone call the night it happened, the police said David had crashed his car, but it didn't look like an accident. Except when the ambulance got there, David was gone, and all that was left of Keith was his body.

It was now the Friday after. It had been a week and a half since it all happened and I was still laying in my bed, as usual.

I heard a knock on the door, but I didn't bother saying anything as it opened and I heard a tray getting sat down on the table next to me. So obviously, it was Joy.

"Hey Katie, there's food there whenever you're hungry" Her sweet voice said.

"Thank you" I mumbled as I heard her leave.

Keith's funeral was soon.

Tomorrow.

I sat up in my bed and stared at my wall. I walked over to my drawers and picked up the frame that was on top of it, with a picture of us all at Disneyland.

I took the picture out and started to cry all over again as I picked up my scissors.

I furiously cut David out of it and ripped it up into the smallest pieces I could get.

I left my room as I shut my door, I didn't even know where I was going, my legs did.

I ended up in Keiths room as I was still crying.

I went under his bed and pulled his suitcase out before grabbing all his toys and throwing them in the case.

I rolled his clothes up and threw them in.

"Katie, what are you doing?" Calum asked as he came in.

"Someone needs to pack his things, so I'm doing it now" I shrugged as I threw the clothes in.

"Katie stop!" Calum said as he held onto my arms while I tried my hardest to fight it.

"I can't..." I looked at him, giving up, "I can't stop Calum, when does it stop? When does the pain go away? It doesn't." I shook my head, "I don't want to do this anymore Calum, I'm breaking more and more each day."

"Hey, hey, hey look at me" Calum said as I looked up at him, "You're broke, I'm broke, it's like broken boy meets broken girl" He said as I looked into his eyes.
