*Alexis' pov*

It's like a dream. A dream you never want.

I walk through the front door and find my mother and her new boyfriend making out on the couch. I look at the table and see a vase with words engraved into it. I walk over picking it up and I freeze.

"In loving memory of Harrison Reece Faith"
"A caring brother and son"
"2010-2017"

I place it down and tears spring to my eyes. I sprint up to my room sobbing as I find his blankey on my bed. I grab it pulling it to my chest and I curl up in a ball on the bed. Pain stabs through my heart causing me to let out a painful sob.
"It's all my fault" I cry
I shakily stand up walking out of my room and I stumble into his. I push the door closed and the machine was still hooked up and beside his bed. I sink into his bed and look over at his soccer ball.

[flashback]
"I'm gonna be a professional footballer!" Harry shouts kicking his ball towards me in the backyard.
"You will be the best footballer in the world Hazza" I smile as he takes a shot sneaking it past me
I chase after him as he shouts in victory throwing up his little fists. I lift him into the air spinning him around chanting his name and I finally put him down sinking to the ground.
"Will you be my manager?" He smiles playing with a lock of my hair
"Of course baby, I'll be there every step of the way" I push his hair back planting a kiss on his forehead
"Can Corbyn Be my assistant manager?" He giggles
"Of course, he will be there for us as well" I smile and grab the ball
"Back to training if you wanna be better Harry!" I shout as I run towards the goals
"YOU WONT BEAT ME LEXI" Harry screams chasing me
[end flashback]

I smile at his soccer ball picking it up and spinning it on my finger.
"I bet you are smashing down goals up there bubba" I smile and put his ball down wiping a tear off my cheek
I walk into my room and curl up on the bed hearing my mum dragging Brian up the stairs. I hear her door slam and I stand up groaning. I pull open my door and run down the stairs and walk out the front door. I pull out my phone dialling Corbyn's number.

[corbyn | Alexis] "Everything okay?" "Mum and her boyfriend are getting it on, can we hang out or something, I'm not really having the best night" "Uh yeah sure, I'll talk to Christina and we can meet at the park in 10?" " Uh yeah of course, see y...

"Everything okay?"
"Mum and her boyfriend are getting it on, can we hang out or something, I'm not really having the best night"
"Uh yeah sure, I'll talk to Christina and we can meet at the park in 10?"
" Uh yeah of course, see you then"

I hang up and walk down towards the park. No long later a car pulls up at the parking and Corbyn jumps out.
"You okay?" He sits on the swing beside me
"A little fucked up" I laugh lightly
"What's going on?" He murmurs
"Mum has a new boyfriend, found Harry's ashes on the kitchen table and I'm just lost" I whisper
"Woah" Corbyn nods
"I'm sorry I called you to come here so late, god it's nearly 12...how long did I cry for?" I frown
"It's fine Lex, I'm here for you and you can call me at any time of the night and I'll be at your doorstep to pick you up" Corbyn smiles tightly
"I'm sorry I didn't talk to you guys for a month" I whisper
"I understand, Christina and I were sort of the reason for it" Corbyn looks down
"It wasn't that, I just wanted to try and find myself before talking to anyone, I started it slowly by seeing Adalyn and Daniel and then I was ready to see the whole gang" I smile tightly at him
"How are you with Brian?" Corbyn yawns
"He doesn't really talk to me, even if he does it's just a how are you kiddo and that's cool then he walks away to watch the footy or something" I shrug
"So he is the antisocial type of step dad" Corbyn nods
"My step dad is a total douche, all he cares about is rugby and telling people he bangs my mum" Corbyn laughs forcefully
"Well that's what is going on at my house at the moment" I sigh and look at the ground
"Did they think you were asleep or something?" Corbyn frowns
"I guess, maybe I don't really know, mum has grown to not care about me to be honest" I shrug and Corbyn nods slowly
"Well mum would be happy to take you under her wing and I'm sure Adalyn wouldn't mind having you around at her place" Corbyn crosses his arms
"No no it's fine I'd rather not deal with your step douche and Adalyn constantly talking about Jonah" I laugh
"I'm sure it wouldn't be that bad at Adalyn's" Corbyn laughs
"I don't want to listen to her talk about her boyfriend when I'm in this state" I whisper
"You know I am sorry" Corbyn stands up
"You could of at least warned me 'hey Alexis it's great to see you just a little heads up I'm back with the girl that bullied you' it would of been a nice warning Corbyn" I stand up crossing my arms
"Maybe if you didn't go M.I.A for a whole month I would of!" Corbyn yells
"Maybe if you didn't bully me and put me in the hospital in the first place Christina might not been in the picture at all!" I shout
"What do you mean" Corbyn frowns
"Nothing don't worry" I mumble and start walking away
"No don't walk away Alexis explain yourself" Corbyn grabs my wrist
"Maybe it should of occurred to you that I liked you, but don't even fucking worry Corbyn Besson because it's all about Corbyn and Christina now days!" I scream and shove him away
"You like me?" Corbyn freezes
"Liked, the key word in that sentence Corbyn was liked" I cross my arms
"If you had said something I would of done something Alexis" Corbyn grabs my hands
"But the thing is you wouldn't of, you are gonna go on with your life and have kids, get married, become famous while I sit in the corner slowly killing myself for being the reason for my little brothers death" I whimper a tear rolling down my cheek
"You weren't the reason he died Alexis" Corbyn pulls me to his chest wrapping his arms around me
"Yes I was" I sob
Corbyn sighs but keeps his arms around me letting me drench his shirt with my tears. For once in my life, in his arms I felt at home.

 For once in my life, in his arms I felt at home
