"MENTAL-ILLNESS IS REAL AND PEOPLE ARE KILLING THEMSELVES. IF YOU SEE THE SIGNS, STOP BEING IGNORENT AND HELP A FELLOW BROTHER/SISTER OUT AND SAVE A LIFE"

"~you only see what I choose to show you"

I've come to the conclusion that I'm happy. Ever since Brian asked me to be his girlfriend, my mood is slightly better than before. I mean i was always sulking about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING.

"Hey babe" he said pecking my cheeks and I felt my cheeks heating. Whenever I'm with him, I'll turn into this person I also don't recognise.

I don't know maybe it's the effect he has on me. I show him the stupid grin I always have when he greets me and blush afterwards. "Will you ever get used to this?" he asks with a smirk and I shake my head 'no'

"Nope. Well atleast not now" i say getting cosy underneath him. Well yes he's taller than me about 4 inches higher but it's good for me. "Soo how's my babygirl doing" he asks as we lock our hands together and walk home.

Did I mention he's my neighbour? I know. He isn't a bad boy though, well atleast that's what I think. It's kind of your typical cliché romantic teen love story. 'Bad boy falls inlove with the girl next door'.

At first I didn't want to believe it was because I honestly don't believe in them but here we are. "I'm good. I missed you today" i say as I pout to show my sadness. He chuckles "I'm sorry i wasn't around, had somethings to do" he says and my mood slightly changes.

"Why can't you just get out.?you know how I feel about that?" i ask referring to him fighting. I honestly don't get why he does it. He says he needs money but I don't understand why. I mean his family is loaded.

"Can we please not talk about it?" he says slightly getting angered. I sigh. "Fine" i say and look at out shoes as we walk back home. "Anyways what are you doing this Friday?" he asks as we get near our homes.

"Brian we just went out like 2 days ago" i say trying to stop the smile spreading across my face. "It's not my fault I can't enough of my babygirl" he says and I blush. There's always this thing that happens to me whenever I'm with him.

It's like I forget everything that's been happening and just smile looking at his face. "Alright fine. I'm doing nothing" i say and he releases a breath. "Okay so there's this place I wanna take you to but its a surprise" he says with a smile revealing his dimple.

"Again? Can't you just tell me once" i pout knowing he falls for this look. "Nope. Not falling for this look again" he says and I sigh. "Fine. See you later?" I ask as we stop on my driveway. "You bet you will." before I leave, he pulls  me back and kisses me.

I pull away and smile still not used to the feeling of kissing him. "I love you" he says with a smile and my stomach flips. I grin like some stupid lunatic "I love you too" I say and walk to the door. Before I get in, i feel his gaze burning holes on me.

"Stop looking at my ass. Pervert!" i say and I hear a deep chuckle coming from him. "Why not? I mean damn baby you got a fatass" he then whistles and I chuckle then after I get in.

The smile I have on my face doesn't fade as I walk up to my room and change into loose clothes. I don't like this uniform. It's a bit tight and it kinda makes my body claustrophobic. Dramatic. I know.

Stupid schools and their rules. I still don't get why we have to wear this dumb thing. The door opens and I already know my sister is back. "Mellisa!!" she shouts and I groan.

Woman, haven't you noticed I hate noise. I mean we did live together since like forever. "Whaat" i say out loud. She doesn't respond. SHE DOESN'T RESPOND!! I hate this. Why would you call me if you know you won't respond when I answer?

Sad part, I have to deal with this almost everyday. I groan as I pick myself from the bed and walk to the kitchen. "What?" I say irritated because I know she does this to irritate me. She smirks. "You know if you weren't my sister, i would've have cussed at you all long time ago"

I say as I lean against the fridge. "Yhea yhea" she says. "What do you want?" i ask getting impatient because she pulled me out of my day dream with Brain. You know it's still a mystery how we're together. I mean we lived as neighbours since I was born, he only decides to notice me when I'm a senior.

I mean he is handsome. Okay understatement he's hot. He has this way he does his smirks that just make my stomach flip. Not to talk about his deep chuckle and his eyes. Oh my word his eyes, are breathtaking.

The way he moves whenever he throws a punch or smirks when he's about to finish his opponent. Yes I sometimes go to his fights. The sweat dripping down his cord as his muscles flexes.

"did you even hear what I just said?" I blink a couple of times remembering I was with my sister. I give her a sheepish smile knowing exactly that I didn't hear her plus I kinda forgot she's here. "Gossshh Brian is messing you. I'm gonna tell mom" she says.

"Go on. I'll tell her you smoke weed" I smirk as she stares at me. She huffs and sighes."Fine. I was saying what do you prefer for dinner?" she asks and I just shrug. "Alright fine. Meatballs it is" she says and leave.

The pros of knowing your sister secret is that you compromise. I always knew her secrets would come in handy. If she told mom, I would snitch on her. If I wanted to snitch, I would have done that I long time ago. Like the day she bluberred that I kissed a boy.

Mom lost it and trust me I thought I was gonna get whopped. She lectured me about boys as if I didn't know anything. I go to my room only to see Brian's window open with him staring at the sky. The sun has set a couple of minutes ago and the sky is beautiful.

This sight of him practically brings a smile to my face. People only know the rude Brian. The one I first met but that's not who he is. It's all an act that I don't even know why it's there. I mean cool you have to keep an image but why though?.

I open the window and smile at my hot boyfriend. By the way, the word 'boyfriend' still feels foreign in my mouth because yes I never had one. "I missed you" he says as he climbs over to my window.

I still don't get why he does that when there's literally a door downstairs. I chuckle. "I just saw you like less than two hours ago" I say with a slight giggle. I didn't even know I can giggle until he started talking to me.

His hands wrap around me as he gets in. Yes it's now a habit that he comes in through the window and if my mom knew, I'm dead. I giggle as he carries me to the bed. "that's a while ago" he says whining. He then hover over me as he starts tickling me.
