BETH ABOVE^^^

Now I've Told You - Sam Smith

Am I Wrong - Nico & Vinz

Love Runs Out - One Republic

Those are the songs for this chapter and I'd love to hear what you guys think of them, and this story. Please tell friends and anyone you may know that reads on Wattpad about this story. Thank you so much. Love you.

"Please tell me that was a boy in that car." Beth says the minute I walk into the house

"No, it was no one." I reply quietly, making a beeline to my bedroom upstairs.

"So, you're saying you got that big piece of crap on your on?" she asks me, placing a hand on her hip.

"Look, I don't want to talk about so just leave me alone, okay?" I dismiss her, finally reaching the top of the stairs.

She says something under her breath, most likely something that entertained the fact of how much of prude I am, but it could really bother me leas. Beth hardly ever converses with me, so if she thinks she can start now, she's definitely in over her head.

I know that she's my sister by blood, but it's challenging when you realize the two people you can turn to for advice could probably never understand your

My room is illuminated by the lamp on my desk when I enter, casting a yellow glow over the room. I place down Colton's remembrance gift to me in the corner of my room next to my closet. I want so badly to burn it or shred it to pieces, hoping it'll help me cope, but I could never do that. Destroying this artificial dog would only make things harder for me in the end.

I slide of my shoes and socks and shimmy out of my tight jeans before tucking myself into the warmth my bed provided me. Turning towards the wall on my right side, I cried. I cried because I thought my life was going to change, because I wanted Colton back, and most importantly, I cried because the consistent pain in my chest was nothing like I ever felt before.

"Beth, hurry up!" Anna yelled from downstairs while we ate our beloved Frost Flakes with strawberries.

"God, can you not be so loud this early in the morning." Beth groans, massaging her forehead. My sister may have been hungover, but she definitely is pulling it off for the first day of school. A pair of suede booties grace her feet, that are matched with dark skinny jeans and a tan cashmere sweater with little embellishments on it. Her hair was swept up into a braided bun, that brought out the angles in her face.

"Maybe you shouldn't be so hungover." Anna argues, rolling her eyes.

"I'm not, you just irritate me." Beth replies smugly, popping an aspirin into her mouth.

"Um, I'm riding with Drew this morning, see you guys later." I tell them, putting my bowl into the sink.

"Like seriously, how long can that boy wait to get into your pants?" Beth laughs.

"Please, it's too early." I shake my head, waving my hand in the air. Beth has brought this topic of conversation up way too many times, but no matter how much I deny it, her beliefs stay the same.

"Hey, it's the first day of our senior year, things are going to change." She winks at me.

"I got to go." I tell them, a small part of me hoping that just maybe Beth's words hold a little truth to them.

"Hey." Drew smiles at me when I make it outside.

"Hey."

"What's up, you don't seem okay?Hell you haven't been okay in a long time." he asks me, placing a hand on my shoulder.
