The outcast:

Chapter 5:

"So Annabelle, tell me why you are here. Alex told me some stuff on the phone but I figured it is good to hear it from you."

"Well, a year ago, my twin brother Andy was going to a concert and he got hit by a drunk driver and went over the side of the freeway. He died on impact. He was my best friend. My boyfriend, Alex, was also in the car. After the accident my mom turned into an alcoholic pill popper. And I turned into a recluse. I died my hair black and all I wear is black clothes. I lost all my friends and I sit alone at lunch in the back of the library. Every single day I get called names like emo freak. I hate my life at school and at home. My mom died 2 weeks ago and I wish I could too."

"Man that must be tough but you have to remember that you do have people who love you. Take Alex for example. He is with you everyday and every night he is there when you need him and hes not going to leave you,"

"Babe, I love you so much and I wont leave you. I understand that right now your life is tough but I am here for you and it will get better. It doesnt seem like it now but it will. You are going to be happy one day and you will look back on the memories you had. Yes, they might be sad but you have to learn to move on. I hate seeing you hurt. It makes me hurt."

"I know and I am trying to get better thank you for taking me today."

"Okay well our time is up today when would you like to have your next meeting?"

"Um how about next week same time?"

"Perfect you too have a nice day."

Alex and I drove to Taco Bell on the way home. We go inside and order our food and talk about the day. We plan on going to the mall later today because he wants to get me new clothes since I got rid of all my old clothes and now all I have left is my black clothes. I don't protest because it will be nice for a change.
