My brother Paul Roswell was the captain of the New Harold High School's basketball team. He was everything the team needed. An all around player. At the height of 5'9",he was a flexible forward with exceptional leadership skills. Coach Stibbs seldom interferes during game time and leaves all of it to Paul.
I, Myah, on the other hand, am my brother's number one fan. I follow him around. I'm like his shadow but he never complains about it. Other brothers might find it annoying but with Paul, he tolerates me. He's two years older than me, a senior while I'm a sophomore.
We both share the same fire for the game of basketball. Until one night, the entire team got invited for a practice game with DunHill High School in the next town. He didn't come home after that. He was shot dead by an unknown man after the game inside the locker room.
And my world came tumbling downhill as well. I no longer appreciate the game that took the life of my dearest brother.

Because I don't know how long will I survive without killing this 6'2 grumpy ass or how long will he survive without killing me. God, help me!Complete

My Brother's Best Friend
"I wanted to talk to you," he said simply. "We had an argument about why he doesn't want us talking." I was confused. "What are his reasons anyway? It seems kinda stupid to keep us from talking." "Agreed," Nathaniel said. "The first reason was that I like you... a lot. And two, he said that it was the fact you like me and that he didn't want your heart to get broken." I was so happy that it was dark outside. "Aren't you with Veronica?" He sighed. "She broke up with me when she saw us together behind the Math & Science building. Ronnie knew how I felt about you but she couldn't just accept the fact that I like you instead of her. To be honest, we never were really dating. She just said that we were." My cheeks burned. "You have a crush on me? The star basketball player of Merrytime High School has a fucking crush on me?!" I squealed. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Your brother. Every time I've tried to tell you, your brother wouldn't let me," he replied sourly. Then he smiled coyly. "But he isn't in the way now, is he?" And his rough hands cupped my face and put his lips on mine. We went slow at first but we soon picked up the pace. My hands were up in his hair as he placed me onto the ground. But then for one pain inducing second, we stopped and he pulled away. His face was only inches from mine. "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked busily as he put his hands in my sweater, his hands sending vibrations through my entire body. I wanted him. "Yes," was all I said before we locked lips once more. I was secretly hoping nothing could separate us again. BEST RANKING--> 112 IN #brothersbestfriendComplete

Heartbreak Season
"Thanks for the best day ever" I grinned looking up at him as the sky overhead darkened. "It was your six year old imagination that did this" He smiled bumping my shoulder. "I was amazing" I drawled.

An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug.
