I sit in the car, staring out the window. My stupid mind won't stop bugging me.
Maybe, just maybe he likes you. Maybe he wouldve asked you out at lunch today. Maybe if that girl-

I had enough. "SHUT UP!!!" I scream, bursting with rage. My mom turns to me. "Excuse me?" She asks. "Sorry, mom. Not you." I reply. She looks at me suspiciously and I look out the window again. Today was just amazing. Pfffh.

We get inside and I run upstairs. I slam my door shut behind me as I enter my room. I jump on my bed and cuddle my old stuffed rabbit, Bengi. I can't hold it back anymore. I just can't. I start sobbing into Bengi as make-up streams down my face. Why does my life hate me?? Why me???

I hear little, gentle footsteps heading towards my door. there's a sound of plastic hitting the ground. I immediately know who it is. Bradly, my little brother. He can't reach my doorknob, so he uses a stool. The door creaks open. He waddles in like a baby penguin. "Che-Che?" He asks. He can't say Chealsey, (he's only four,) so he calls me che-che. The sound of his caring voice makes me sob even harder. He grabs his stool and climbs on my bed. He crawls over to me, lays down, and hugs me. I love him.  "Fee betwer che-che" he says. He gives me a small kiss on the cheek. I turn to him. "I love you" I say, stroking his hair. We lay down together. I doze off, laying next to my favorite person in the world. He makes everything so much better.

I love my family.
