When I heard the rough gargle come from the person standing my door way I had no idea who it was till the voice that helped me cope through all the pain, heartbreak, and nightmares throughout the past year rang through my ears with a simple, "Are you alright?"

"What are you doing here?" I asked sitting up from my embarrassing sprawled out state.

"I can't come home to visit my baby brother?" Gabe smirked sitting beside me on the bed, enveloping me in a bone crushing yet comfortable hug. I let out a dry laugh and patted his muscular back. 

"Seriously why are you here?" I asked retreating from his body.

"Mum wanted us to be together. It's a whole year friday, y'know?" He said.

"Yeah." I mumbled. "I know." 

"And being as embarrasding as she is," He sighed deeply. "she called my school and requested that they put all of my exams on hold and excuse me for a week because she needed me home." He said flopping back on my bed. I let out a chuckle and flopped back beside him. 

"So, what happened to make you wanna flail around on your bed while insulting yourself?" He asked turning his head to face me. His vibrant green eyes staring into my hazle ones. I was always jealous of his eyes because they were such a beautiful color. I like my eye color though, my father's eyes were the same color.

"I made a stupid mistake." I sighed looking up to the ceiling. 

"Tell me all about it." He said turning on his side. "I also want to know why there was a picture of you doing a keg stand on your facebook briefly, and why this Luke Hemmings kid posted it." 

"Jesus, do you stalk my facebook too?" I groaned. 

"You're my gay little brother I have every right to creep on your page and look out for weird people." He shrugged. He's the only family member that knows my sexuality.

"You do realize that creeping on my page classifies you as one of those weird people." I said shooting him a glance. 

"Whatever who's this Puke Guy swith tattoos and piercings? Why did he take a picture of you?" Protective big brother mode activated.

"His name is Luke, and it's a long story." 

"Well, I'm here all week." He smirked. 

I groaned but went on to tell him the story of Luke raping my face with his, shoving off that guy at the party, taking the picture of me on the keg, sleeping in Cal's car, calling me begging for a chance, finally getting his one chance, getting high, me having to nurse him through the night, slapping him in the lunch room, and everything that lead up to now. 

 "Did you make him cry?" He asked. 

"What?"
