Alex's POV

The warm droplets of water hitting my cold skin, making me wince at the sudden change of temperature. I stopped eating ice cream. I stopped eating anything. Without James by my side, I felt like I was only a half. He completed me and I am not ashamed to admit that he was the reason I live. Before he was with me I felt alone but also in a crowd, as though I was not there. Not existing. But when James came along, it was like every light in the hallways had all gotten brighter and that I suddenly got weak in the knees, I just wanted him to carry me bridal style into the  sunset. Now, I really remember what the feeling of being alone is like. It's always been so familiar to me, especially now I know I definitely don't have a chance with James.

"Alex if you don't get out right now I will make you pay for the water bill" My brother shouted, snapping me back to the sad reality. "You're not even paying for it..." I mumbled, throwing a towel on my lower waist. "Did you forgot that mum doesn't work?" I could hear the anger in his voice. "Y-Yeah..." I stuttered before walking off to my room. Ever since my father died in a terrorist attack she hasn't gone to work, talked to her friends or talked to us. And my mum was my brother's idol. He is very sensitive about the fact that she acts like she didn't even give birth to us. I heard my phone buzz, breaking me out of my trance. I checked the notification. James Marriott has sent you a snap! I opened it.
