Zane 

As I walk home from school, I look at my phone

October 12th 2015” 

Wow.. A month already?”

Its been a month since I have spoken to Travis.

That's.. Kinda depressing.

I hear a voice from behind me and turn around.

Its my older brother.

“Hey Zane!” Garroth says ecstatically.

“Hi, Um.. What are you doing? And why are you so happy?” I ask, 100% confused. 

There is a moment of silence, until Garroth answers.

“Travis told me.. About the.. Drugs”

Drugs

Drugs

Drugs

“HE DID WHAT?" I yell, absolutely pissed.  

Before I can storm off, Garroth grabs my arm.

“Listen to me Zane!” Garroth yells, which is a first, considering he's not someone to yell.

“Fine" I mutter.

“He's worried about you..” as he says that, I roll my eyes. “and.. I am too” he adds.

I look at him, and I can tell he's being serious.

“And.. I want you to stop.. Before it gets to bad.. Like.. Before” He says.

I can feel the tears well up in my eyes. All I've wanted for the past month was someone, anyone, to actually care about what I'm going through.

“Zane, I love you, and I don't want you to feel like this.. Can you promise me.. You'll stop?” Garroth asks.

Stop?

“I..”

Try, for me?”

I nod, and Garroth pulls me into a hug. 

For the first time in months, I actually cry, and I have someone there, for me.
