Guide her from darkness

The calm before the storm

*Ross's P.O.V*

My pencil glides across the page with easy as if there was no thought going into what I was writing. The only lie about that, almost every ounce of thought that I have goes into my writing, sometimes I'm up until 4 am writing because I get so lost in the words that appear in front of my eyes.

I have no clue where my writing and artistic abilities came from. My mom wasn't a writer or artist she worked a small store in town that sold ice cream and other snacks. My "Dad" on the other hand, well I wouldn't be able to tell you what he does or did as I've never met the bastard in my life. He left mom when she was pregnant with me and Tyler and he never came back, never called, never sent a card, never tried to contact us in anyway. All I can tell you about him is that he's the living scum bag of this earth and I don't want anything to do with him even if he does try to come crawling back into my life.

A door slams shut and I hear heavy foot steps shuffle into the apartment.

"Honey I'm home."

I lightly chuckle at my brothers failed attempt to humor me.

"Sorry bro but I'm not into incest."

"Oh come on you know you can't resist me!" He yells running straight towards my room. The door swings open and he stands in the entry way looking at me with a fake seductive look.

"Please remind me why I thought it was a good idea for us to live together?" I ask him.

"Because you can't get enough of me sexiness." I roll my eyes and turn my chair around to face him fully.

"Do you want something Tyler or are you here just to annoy me?"

He laughs and throws himself onto my bed causing all of my notebooks to fly off.

"Well Juliet and Derek haven't been here lately why don't you text them and invite them over for movies." He suggests.

"Why so you can stare at him in the privacy of our own home?" I can't keep the smirk off my face. Tyler's liked Derek for years, yes they are both Bi. And I'm pretty sure I've caught Derek staring at Tyler's ass (;.

"Psssh nooooo that is not why I want them to come over at all." Very convincing Tyler, Very convincing.

"Ok but if I catch you looking at him I'm gonna tell him what you did when we were 13."

"Oh god please don't tell that story." He says as he buries his face into my pillow.

What exactly did he do when we were 13? Well lets start at the beginning our rooms were upstairs in the house we lived at and there was a "balcony" by the stairs that looked down into the kitchen. Mom had called us for dinner and he thought he could jump from the balcony into the kitchen and ended up landing on the table and breaking it in half. Needless to say we ate in the living room for a few weeks.

"Then get out of my room and go something productive that does not distract me or I will post the story on my blog."

With that he stood up and ran out of my room not closing the door behind him. I sigh and stand up to close the door and just as I do I get a notification from Quotev. The beep was one I heard very rarely, a message.

Musictolife to Avoicefromhell:
'Your writing is amazing and inspirational I wish I was half as good as you but I guess my only talent is music and you're probably better at that than I am too. Anyways I would love to get to know you, from your bio and writing you seem like a pretty genuine person and that's extremely rare now a days. I know you probably won't even read this let only reply but thank you for sharing your work with the internet community, keep writing.

Someone really likes my writing so much that they want to get to know me? All they're going to get is a train wreck of a girl. He probably wouldn't talk to me after a day of me messaging him back.

Avoicefromhell to Musictolife:
'I appreciate that someone likes my writing so much that they want to talk to me but I'm really not that interesting of a person. I bet that you are amazing in the music field and the same with writing. Why wouldn't I talk to you it's not like I get thousands of messages a day I barely get one every few months and half the time its someone asking me if they can use my stories as their own writing but no one has reached out to me like you have so I have you to thank for that. After going over your profile I see that you and me would get on quite well . Feel free to message me whenever you want I'll always reply unless I'm asleep.

I hit send and picked my phone up to text Juliet and Derek, Alec's profile still pulled up on my laptop.
