I woke up the next morning super happy.I started to paint until evening hit,once I was near finishing,I called Matt."Hey you busy today?"I

asked when he picked up."Yeah kind of,why?"He answered back."No like really busy?""Oh no,I was just planning out a Youtube

video with Nash...you can come if you want.""No it's okay Im finishing something up anyways."I said."Ooo,I would love to see when your

done."He said.Then I hung up.I finished late afternoon.I was excited about it.So excited I thought it would help Justin and we would be

able to bond over it. I slowly walked downstairs. There in the living room I saw Justin."Justin!"I yelled down the stairs."What!"He

said. I swiftly ran towards him. I covered his eyes."What you want!"He yelled.I walked him up the stairs to my room. I slowly

opened the door and uncovered his eyes.Three canvases stood before him.I saw in his face a look of anger as he saw the pictures.

The one he stared at the the most was an empty jail cell dark and gloomy and grey,no activity in the cell.Although there was a

shadow a dark shadow of a woman along the wall and the floor.The second one was a empty room,dark and gloomy again my sisters

room with nothing in it,just like she left it the picture there was know one but outside in the window there was a shadow,along the

grass.The third was and empty coffin with two female shadows hovering over it.My brother's fingers fluttered over the paintings

as tears began to fall silently from his eyes."What did you do?!?"He screamed at the top of his lungs.I thought he cried from grief but it was

from anger after all."Justin...you don't like them."I said as tears then slowly began to fall from my eyes as I realized his rage

toward them."I hate them.What were you thinking?!?What the hell it this?!?""Justin I was putting my thoughts and feelings

into them there not for everyone,there for me." "Oh really?You can take this painting..."He said grabbing one and putting his fist

through it."And shove it up your ass.And this one-""JUSTIN STOP!!"I screamed crying uncontrollably as he

grabbed the next one and smashed his fist through it.I grabbed his arm pulling with all my might as he walked towards the next

one.He pushed me and we began to physically fight before he walked over to the next one,I quickly grab the painting before he

could."JUSTIN STOP PLEASE!!!!"I screamed one more time as he pushed me down again.The painting fell out of my hands and to

finish it off he stepped on it.Dad wasn't home this time to save me.Justin yelled and screamed at me."So this is what you do make some shit

like this huh?To ruin my life is that what you want to do!!!""IT WAS MY MASTERPIECE,IT WAS MY FOREVER!!!!""WHO TOLD

YOU THIS WAS OKAY!!""Matthew told me to express-""IT WAS THOSE BOYS EH?!?LISTEN MEGAN!!I WILL

MAKE SURE YOU'LL NEVER SEE THOSE DAMN BOYS AGAIN OR I PROMISE...I FUCKING PROMISE I'LL DO

ANYTHING TO MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HELL...and if you thing Dad can do anything about it?I'll make SURE he won't do

anything to stop me!"I cried so much that I only could mouth the words "I hate you!"to him."Just like you hate Mom and Kaleen..."He

said and he left my room.I sat there in awe whimpering staring at my the paintings.I quickly grabbed my phone.

"Hello,Nash?"I whimpered.I swallowed wiping my tears."Yeah what's wrong girl.""Pick me up,please...please."I

said."Whoa what happened.""Im gonna stay there for a little bit if that's okay,just ugh...one day that's it."I said as I held the

phone with my shoulder packing everything I own in a duffel bag.I ran down stairs with my duffel in one arm and my three ruined

paintings in the other.It was just me and Nash in the car.Night fell.He parked on the side of the road noticing I was crying."Hey...What

happened.""I painted some pictures."My voice got jittery and I began to cry again."They meant something to me and my

brother broke them..."I had a very long pause as I could barely say anything"and he threatened to make my life miserable,if I came back

so..."I sobbed loud."Im sorry,Nash, Im a hot mess."I said slightly smiling wiping my eyes.""No,no your not baby...your in a bad place

right now it's okay...I got you."Nash said rubbing my hand.He started the car once again."Baby?"I asked."Sorry um,It sort of slipped out...I

ugh..."He said."It's okay..."I sniffed."It makes me feel wanted...Thank you Nash!"I said sniffing I checked in the mirror my nose and eyes

were red and tears were dried on my face I wiped my cheeks.We arrived at his house fast.I walked into the house,Nash's mom who I'd

met the last time I came."Hey honey!"She said holding Skylynn in one arm."Oh what's wrong.Nash what did you do?""Mom it

wasn't me this time...I went to pick her up."He said to his mom."Sorry Mrs.Grier I was having some serious...home problems

and Nash is the only friend I thought would allow me to stay with.""Yes,Yes come on in!"She said grabbing my shoulder."I know Im not

your mom nor am I a close friend but Im a very good listener and if you need someone to talk to Im always there to listen."I

smiled and hugged her giving her a long hug."I could let you sleep in my room in the bed...Im okay sleeping on the floor."Nash

said loading my stuff up the stairs. "Where's Matt sleeping?"I asked."Guess room..."He said.I have to change I said.He left the

room as I put on my pajamas.I opened the door."Where's your dad?"He said as he took of his shirt."On duty,He's a

firefighter...We really don't see him as much as we really want to but it was way worse when he was a trucker so..."I took off his pants walking

out the door but not so far because I could still here him.He came back in with two blankets and a pillow."Nash..."I began."I

would prefer if you slept up here."I said as he sat on the floor."I don't want you to sleep down here you don't emotionally feel good.""No

like with me...I feel like it'll help me feel better."I stared at him as he stared down at his lap and got up as he grunted he nodded his

head."Okay..."He said climbing next to me.Turning the lamp off he turned towards me."Can I..""Yes..."He placed his arm

over my waist.I did the same we laid there."Nash?"I asked after a few minutes."What are we...""Friends...right?"I looked up at him in the

dark."Yeah,sure if that's what you want us to be.Then there was more silence."Megan...""Yeah?" "Im glad you came."He

said."Thank you for being my hero and a friend when I need one.""I didn't think you needed a friend your a great person."He began

slowly caressing my hair."Well this great person isn't great to everyone.I need more than a friend right now."Then he kissed

me with every movement and muscle in his lips.As his touched mine I felt a sort of fire in my stomach.This was perfect and what I wanted at

this moment but not in the right place although I know his heart was in the right place I place my hand on his chest."Sorry...It's just...""No

no no,don't explain yourself...It's cool I swear.After that we fell asleep in each other's arms.I felt like I would never go

home.
