Cassie's P.O.V
The flowers were just where I left them a couple of days before. I sat down quietly, rubbing the stone on top of my mother's grave.
A couple of cool raindrops fell on me, and sprinkled in the grass as I leaned against the stone, spreading the new flowers I bought in front of it.
I sat in silence for maybe any hour before I heard footsteps in the wet grass a couple of feet away. I opened my eyes and sat up from my leaned back position and looked around for a few seconds until I spotted a guy.
He knealed down to a grave stone a few feet away, smiling at it as he rubbed his hand over it. I stood up, startled to see someone else. I walked slow towards him looking at other graves on the way over to him.
The guy snapped his head up,staring at me with a blank expression as I stopped, still keeping my distance.
"You need something?" He asked, still staring at me. "No, I was just surprised to see someone else who actually still comes here." I cracked a small smile.
"I come here when I can, can see you've made a habit of being here." He chuckled, pointing at all the flowers that where on my mother's grave.
"Oh, yeah You could say that. Who you here visiting?" I asked him, standing a little closer.
"My little brother. He was in a accident a while ago and..."
"You don't have to tell me, we don't really know each other." I stopped him and he looked back down at the grave before standing to his feet.
"I'm Justin. You look kinda familiar." He held out his hand and I shyly took it. "I'm Cassie, You may have seen me at school. I see your around, sometimes."
He nodded, squinting eyes at me before walking away.
"Where you going?"
"Am I supposed to stand in a Damn bone yard all day?" He asked, shoving his hands in his pocket. The rain began to pick up as I saw him walk back to his car. I walked slow wondering if I should ask for a ride. But he was gone before I had a chance to catch up with him.

I opened the door to the house and stuck my key back in to my jacket before I walked inside. My lazy ass brothers, Austin and Scottie, where laying on the couch, stuffing their faces with pizza. While my little sister, Livvy, Sat on the floor crying.
"What did you guys do to her?!" I yelled smacking both of them on the back of the head as she sat on the floor yelling hysterically. "Come here." I motioned for her to come to me and I picked her up, rubbing her back softly to help stop the crying.
Her diaper reeked and I'm pretty sure they hadn't fed her anything, so I took care of it and put her to bed.
"What the hell is wrong with you two?! She's a freaking baby, you have to pay attention to her!" I yelled, standing in front of the t.v.
"Move the Fuck outta the way." Scot growled, throwing the now empty box of pizza
"No, I won't. You guys need to grow the Fuck up and start helping out around this house. I cleaned everything yesterday and now Its a mess again. Livvy has a horrible diaper rash that is getting worse because when I'm not here you aren't changing her." I ranted, turning off the t.v. and throwing the remote at Austin who was trying to tune me out.
"Maybe we would clean up if you didn't bitch 24/7." Scottie spat, "I'm the oldest, so I should make the rules."
"I don't care if your the oldest, your a fuckin pig!" I yelled, the doorbell going off as if on cue.
I opened the door, Kylee, my best friend, began talking immediately as always.
"What are you doing here, Kye, didn't your mom ground you?" I laughed, closing the door behind her.
"Oh well, I had to come find you, you just disappeared on me." She smacked my shoulder. " I didn't feel like staying at school today." I shrugged.
"Will you shut up!" Scot yelled, throwing a pillow at us.
Kylee smiled at him as she followed me up to my room. She's always had a disgusting crush on him.
"Have gotta stop flirting with my brother."
"He's cute, I can't help it. Speaking of flirting, you have your eye on any guys yet?" She squeaked ,flopping down on the bed.
"No, but I did run in to the most interesting person today, one of the guys who wouldn't dare talk to girls like us at school." I smiled, looking down.
"You have to tell me all about." Kylee insisted, my cheeks flushing red.
