This is all I ever do. Sit across from either a television or computer screen and eat microwave mac&cheese. I have no life ever since my parents died in 9/11, and my sister killed herself because she just couldn't stand the pain of being a kid without parents.

Life goes on though, right?

This makes almost a year I've been watching Graser play minecraft, and ever since I started, my whole life changed for the better. I no longer feel lonely, I no longer feel I need friends, and I no longer feel the need to cut myself every time I pass my parents or my sister's bedroom. Graser has made my life so much better, no words can explain it.

Suddenly, I remember I should probably feed my cat, Veda.

Veda is my Tabby cat. She is long, slender, but also fat in a way. She likes to go outside so she can sneak into the house next door to mine, which has been vacant for almost 2 years.

After putting food in Veda's bowl, I climb down my stairs and open the front door to see a U-Haul pulling into the house next door.

A new neighbor?

I step out onto the front porch and call for my cat, then decide to sit on the porch to see what this new neighbor looks like while I wait for Veda.

A few minutes later I see the door swing open and a guy jump out of the car. He looks like he couldn't be older than 20, and he has the looks to kill. His eyes are a piercing hazel, which works well with his styled brown hair. He has a skinny body, but not too frail. I feel the urge to get up and talk to him, but I don't have any make-up on so I don't feel like scaring him off.

I watch him gather up his things and walk into the house. Then I see him walk back out with Veda in his arms.

Oh no...

He starts to walk up my front steps when I hear the most sexiest yet almost familiar voice I have ever heard.

"Hey, is this your cat? She was in my house, I thought I might bring her to you!" He looks down at my fat cat.

"Oh, Yeah! Sorry! Veda likes to sneak around the neighborhood and mess around. Thanks for bringing her to me! So... You're just moving in, right? My name's Kat!"

I know I was rambling on, but he doesn't seem to mind.

He smiles. "It's all good, and my name's Jordan! And yeah, I just bought this house not too long ago, I decided it was time to move in."

I can hardly breathe.

"Awesome. Well if you need me, I'm just next door, and thanks again for bringing me Veda, I'll try not to let her bother you again. See you later!"

Jordan shifts positions and looks at me with those beautiful eyes.

"Don't worry, Veda won't be bothering me, I have a cat too so maybe they will get along well! And yeah, I'll see you later!" He says as he walks across my yard into his.

I watch him go inside of his house and shut the door.

Gosh, he was so freaking hot... But what was it about him that seemed familiar? Was it his voice? His face? Maybe I'm just going crazy.

Maybe later on ill figure out what it is about him, but until then I'm going to try not to think about our conversation and focus on Graser's minecraft videos.
