I lay here, curling Nora's hair with my finger, nothing could ever change this. I don't care if aliens invade our planet or people go crazy and bomb everything, nothing could change my feelings for Nora.
I love her. I haven't lived someone as much as I did when my little sister and parents were Alive.
It started with a fight, then the car hit us. I remember everything, no one means as much to me as Nora does.
My parents had been arguing.
My mom took us and left my dad, a car slammed into the side of the car where my mom and sister were.
I remember the nightmare, over and over again, as the metal of the car folded into my sisters body, the seatbelt rubbing into her skin, her screaming, and the explosion.
I remember my dad overdosed on drugs, I don't know if he made it. I haven't tried contacting him in years.

"You excited for the fair?" Nora asks all of a sudden.
"Yeah" No. The fair was my sisters favorite place to go as a kid.
   "Good. I live the fair. I feel like it explains life. All the twist and turns. All the complicated things. You take risks and don't realize it, some bad and some good."
"Why are you always so nice to me? So open hearted?"
  "Because it's the truth, what's the point in lying? Be positive."

I stare at the prescription bottle.
  A tear slips down. My hands pull at my hair. This is my problems to deal with. I have to over come this alone.
  I thought Nora loved me, was she afraid?

   I look pick the bottle up and run outside, chucking the bottle with all force. I watch as..... Triston runs it over with a lawnmower?
   Why? He's not being lazy?
"Hey man! Lylana wanted to play another game!" He yells, causing me to laugh.
   I yawn and walk back in.
The TV is playing some show on Mexican drama, love story, reality TV show type thing, Scott asleep with a backing pan in his hands.
  I look over at the tickets with our names on them for the fair. One has the name Braylen on it.
  Who's this?
Chris
Triston
West
Ash
Brooke
Paisley
Lylana
Braylen
Taikō
Allie
Scott
(Think that's all.)

   I lay back on down and close my eyes, drifting off to sleep.
Here we go, fair in a. Few days.
