Years earlier....*Flashback*

When I was 6, my older brother died. My parents would always fight and I would never figure out what to do with myself. I found my self walking outside and I stumbled across and abandoned building. I would always come to the building when something was wrong, when I got overwhelmed.

My older neighbor would always watch me when my parents were out late or when they were at work.

I showed him the building and for my 8th birthday he bought it for me.

I've had it ever since, Him and I are the only two people who know anything about it.

Present time......

I climb the stairs up the building to the rooftop. I smile at the same setup that's always been there. Rope lights strung all on top of the building, red and white checkered blanket, I had white pillows scattered all over the blanket. I beam at the memories. I sit down carefully on the blanket and look over the city, lit up and my gaze looks over everything. I get overtaken by the view and lay down on the blanket. Looking at the stars, I gaze off to sleep and my eyes finally shut.

I wake up a few hours later, calmer than I was when I first came up here. I feel this spot calms me, into longer want to cry or be mad a Brad.

Checking my phone it was 4:54 am, the sun wanting to peak out of the horizon but it was still dark. It was very cold considering I only came out here in a t-shirt.

I felt my heart drop, Brad must be worried. That's what my heart thought. My mind on the other hand wants to tell me that Blake doesn't care where I am. I breathe out slowly and close my eyes again.

I awake again to a faint calling of my name. I stumble getting up and I look over the railing of the two story building. From the rooftop I can hear faint sounds of my name being called.

I feel a lump in my through. Brad.Bradley was calling my name.

I froze, what do I do.... surely that wasn't him. My mind took control over the rest of me so I brushed it off thinking to myself it wouldn't be Brad.
*********************

I tip-toed through the building, closing the doors behind me I walked back to campus.

Climbing through the window and slamming it shut I changed my outfit to get ready for class.

I threw on a simple black shirt, ripped jeans and my adidas.

I straightened my dirty blonde hair and threw some gold bracelets on my wrists

Walking out with my bag on my shoulder, I get wrapped with Bradleys hands. I look up to his eyes, they were all red.

He pulls away from me and sends me daggers "WHERE DID YOU GO?!"

I smile "oh my gosh chill, I am here now correct?"
