do?”
“You met a boy.”
“Yeah, Keenan. He lives on the same floor. We hang out, cause, our sisters work together now.”
“Is he cute?”
“He’s a Five.” i said.
“A five?” Keenan scoffed.
“Yes a five. There’s always room for improvement.” I told him.
“He’s there? Send me a picture.”
“I will later.” I said. “Keenan what are you doing?” I laughed.
He posed in front of my lap top. The camera clicked and it took the picture.
“You left your Facebook open. I’m sending it to who?”
“Dani, the girl with the green hair. then Hannah, she has pink, Mallery has Blue, and Jenna has purple.”
“The skittle girls.” He muttered logging in.
“Dye your hair red.” Dani said.
“already on, it girl.” I laughed.
“He want’s skittles we’ll give him skittles.”
I laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Nothing.”
“Tell me.”
“Eat your candy bar.” I told him. “Anyway, Dani, i gotta put the rest of this food away, and take Cookie on a walk.”
“Okay, I love you.
“I love you to Dani.” I blew a kiss, and hung up the phone. “Hey! No feeding Cookie Candy.”
“But she want’s some.”
“No feeding her that stuff. Cookie come on. Let’s go on a walk.”
“You going to go on a walk, in the area.”
“Your coming to protect em right?”
“Well, I can’t leave a lady in harms way.” He said, standing.
Once outside, he Took my hand.
“Where are we going?”
“There’s a dog park this way.” he said.
We walked in silence. I sat on the grass, and let Cookie loose. Keenan ran around with Cookie.
“Come play with us Ronan.” He called.
“I’m good!” I waved.
“How are you going to be a Mom someday.”
“I’m not going to be a Mom.”
“You don’t want kids?”
“Nope.”
“I don’t think this friendship is going to work out. Come on.” he jogged over and pulled me up.
He took my hand and we ran with Cookie chasing us. Once Cookie was all tired out we went home.
“I hope your happy.”
“Why?” He asked, sitting next to me on the sofa.
“My feet hurt.” i said.
“Oh here.” He picked up my feet and putting them on his lap.
He untied my shoes and took them off.
“Whoa.” He said, waving a hand.
“Oh very funny.” I laughed, as he began to rub my feet.
“You know, If I ever find a husband like you, I might rethink the whole family life.”
“Well you have to smile, to catch a guys eye. if you don’t you look a little mean.”
“I do not!”
“Yes you do. trust me. When you looked up the first day I talked to you, i thought you were going to bite my head off.”
“Shut up Keenan.”
“I’m for real.”
“So know that you know me, are you still afraid?”
“I don’t really know you.”
“What about the scary part.”
“Nah, your not too bad.”
“Well thanks for that.” i said.
He smiled, and looked at me.
“Your really pretty when your happy.”
“To bad, I’m not that much of a happy person.”
“You were.”
“How do you know?”
“I can read people. You were happy go lucky to hide something messed up at home. You got hurt, a little too bad, and then you shut down. You don’t try to be perfect, or be something your not. Your a little careful when you first meet someone-”
“I get it.” I said.
“Is it right?”
“yeah.” I said, looking at my pants.
“What happened?” he asked.
“I never had friends. I met this girl and we became like sisters.”
“What happened?”
“About six months ago, she was murdered.”
“Oh my god. Ronan. I didn't know.”
“Of course you didn't.” I smiled, a sad smile. “I miss her like hell. Sorry.” I said, wiping a tear away.
He scooted closer to me, and wiped my face.
“Crying isn't a sign of weakness. you've just been strong for to long.”
“That’s what I like to think. If I wasn't weak, I wouldn't need to cry about this.”
“You lost someone close to you. It hurts. When you hurt you cry.”
“You know this all to well.” I said.
“Seven months ago, my best friend killed himself. I know you've had it ruff, But your going to be okay. I can tell.”
my shoulders sagged.
“She told me I shined too brightly, right before, she you know.”
“I know.” He said, grabbing my hand.
“It’s hard when you lose the one you thought got you. you just feel incomplete.”
“It’s not fair.” He nodded.
“It’s easier for me to shove the pain away.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, so I don’t have to deal with it.”
“Your gonna have to deal with it some time. If you keep pushing it off you’ll be come bitter, and closed off from the world. No one will be able to get to you.”
“Is that so bad? I wouldn't ever get hurt.”
“True, but you’d never be loved either.”
“who need love?” I muttered.
“Everyone does. people need to know they have someone they can trust, with everything. No matter how bad it is. people need to know they have one person that will help them no matter how shit deep they are.”
“That was Jewls.”
“Well now it’s me. I promise.”
“I promise too.”
He laughed, and I pulled him in for a hug.
“Guys? We’re having dinner at Sam’s!” Lexi called.

“Okay, a little bit here and.” I pushed play and a beat came from my speakers. “Alright.” i smiled.
“I’m invincible, there’s no time for fear now. I gotta stand strong, gotta show you what I got. I’m better than the girl you knew, you’ll never stop me now, oh yeah, cause I’m invincible.”
“Nicely done.” Keenan said clapping.
“Gah, what are you doing!” I yelled turning to face him.
“You can sing.”
“I’m famous from where I’m from.”
“Prove it.” He smirked.
I paused the music. I cleared my throat.
“Seasons come and go, the leaves crunch under my feet, Petals of flowers crumble under my touch. It seems like once you left All beauty escaped with you. I'll try my best, to not give in, but I was so much more, with you next to me. You have left me no choice but to move on. It feels wrong moving on, when you never will. “ i stopped, and looked up at him. “It’s still in a work. I gotta get a beat going.”
“What about your guitar?”
“What about it?”
He picked it up and played a melody so sweet.
“Sing.” He nodded.
“Seasons come and go, the leaves crunch under my feet, Petals of flowers crumble under my touch. It seems like once you left All beauty escaped with you. I'll try my best, to not give in, but I was so much more, with you next to me. You have left me no choice but to move on. It feels wrong moving on, when you never will. “
He played.
“I’m going to try something, okay?”
“Yeah go for it.”
He cleared his throat. Is there anything he can’t do?
“I know your better now, but I can’t figure out, why it was you that had to leave, and oh why not me? I know your here with me, but it’s so hard to see the good when I can’t see you. It was your time I guess, I wish it wasn't true. You have left me no choice but to move on. It feels wrong moving on, when you never will. “
“How about this for the chorus?” i asked.
“Oh I wish someone would show me this could be easy, Oh please take me back to when we were unforgettable. Friend, please give me the strength to carry on, I need a little help, but don’t worry, I’m not weak. I think of you and stand tall, I gotta make ya proud some how. I never knew it would be this hard, oh I wish someone would show me this could be easy.”
“That’s perfect, okay, since you sing first, I’ll sing first, after we sing together, lets see.” He made the beat slow and sad.
“I wish some how I could bring you back. Then you sing a line.” He nodded.
“Oh how easy it would be to have you by my side again.”
“Oh I wish someone would show me this could be easy, Oh please take me back to when we were unforgettable. Friend, please give me the strength to carry on, I need a little help, but don’t worry, I’m not weak. I think of you and stand tall, I gotta make ya proud some how. I never knew it would be this hard, oh I wish someone would show me this could be easy.”
“I wish some how,” He sang.
“I could have you by my side, again.” I finished off. “Do you mind If I put this on my page?”
“Nope. do your thing.”
We sat on the floor, and I put up the Camera.
“Hey ya little freaks! This is my friend Keenan, isn't he cute? I wanted to say thank you for voting, for Lexi, she won and we had to move to La. The only bad part about it was, I had to Leave Dani and the girls. Dani and I won’t be singing anytime soon, but we will make it up to you guys. Keenan lost his best friend one month before I did, so we put this song together, It’s called unforgettable.”
After we sang I uploaded it, while Keenan played with my guitar, sitting on my bed.
“Hey Listen to this. You and Kennan make a cute couple, even if you aren't dating. Your voices match perfectly, you should go far.”
“They’re right.”
“About what?” I asked, turning my chair around to face him.
He set the guitar on the bed, “About us.” He said.
“What about us?” I asked, as he bent down to me, putting his hands on my arm rests.
“About us being a cute couple.”
“Darn.” i said, snapping. “Too band I don’t do cute.”
“Your right. You do Beautiful.” He said, pushing off the chair and looking out the window.
He turned back to me.
“Hey we were supposed to go the beach today.”
“Damn. I was kinda hoping you forgot.”
“Yeah right. Be back in a sec. bring your board, we’re going to ride down there.”
He left my room. I sighed and got out of my chair.
“Why can’t you be a normal guy and forget?” i asked, stomping to my dresser.
I tossed on my bathing suit, and shoved a towel, and sun block into my back pack. I slipped on a strapless dress, flip flops and sun glasses. I opened the front door to go get Keenan, when I saw him pushing the down button.
“Leaving with out me Eh?”
He jumped and turned.
“I thought you went down already.”
“I was waiting for you.”
“Oh. after you.” He said, sweeping to the elevator.
“Thanks kind sir.” I bowed, getting in.
“I like this dress.” He said.
“I hate this dress.” I said, setting my board on the side walk.
“Hey, wait for me!” He called.
He took a running start and caught up with me. He grabbed my hand and we road to the beach. It was a five minuet ride.
“I am never going to the beach again.” I said, putting sun block on my burned nose. “Ow it stings.”
“Don’t wipe it off here.” Keenan said, wetting
