"The biggest fear in my life is giving someone full control of me, and I'm giving you all this power over me can't you see I'm trying" Matt said with frustration clear in his face.
I reply "I want more I don't want you to be scared of me, I'm trying...

"Its cool Delilah your like a little sister to me I can't say no to you"
I smile "can I ask you a question and I want you to answer honestly"
"Yeah go ahead"
"Do you think its bad that I'm with Matthew with what he's going through"
"I do think that other people in Matthews situation may have trouble being in a relationship going through there therapy is a struggle but in his case he wants to be with you your not forcing yourself on him"
"I know but I don't want him to change for me I really wants him to change for himself"
He rubs my shoulder "he is going to change for himself he just needs a support system he's never had that all he's ever had is me, you, his siblings occasionally, and Martha's family"
"I just don't want the fact that's he's with me to effect his growth"
"It won't Delilah remember when I called you that say I found him at his house looking like death he didn't want to go to the hospital but then you came, he wants to change for you when it comes down to it your motivating him to be a better Matthew for you"
We pull up to school "I just don't want him later to feel that I was possible an obstacle, something his way"
"He won't you started this start to a new Matt later in life he'll thank you for it"
Both of us get out of the car as soon as we start walking the hallway people start staring at us I quickly look down making my way to my locker Carter comes with me "is there something on my face"?
He laughs as I open my locker "no Lylee they just read articles you know already making up their own little story as for why Matthew is in rehab"
"There so creepy I feel like there watching my every move"
"They are" I laugh shoving him
"Shut up I hate people staring at me its creepy"
"Common Delilah I'll walk you to class"
As we walk I ask "do you think I should call Matt before class"
We get to the door "don't worry about him right now you have class plus you know he likes to sleep in"
I nod "your right I'll see you later okay" with that I walk into class as soon as I sit the bell rings my history teacher shuts the door
"Surprise students today I am giving you a group project due in two days, groups of four and each group must do a different third world country"
He hands out papers and a bunch of people groan, all this work in two days is unreal
