   FIRST DAY 
   I wake up to a loud ringing. I'm half asleep so I fumble around for something so i can make it shut up! wait! I know that sound its my alarm clock and itsgoing off for my first day of 11th grade great! Don't get me wrong i like school and most the people in it its just i go to school with my 3 older brothers tyler, brody, and blake. They are super overprotective and nosey. I'm the only daughter my parents had so that makes me their only sister and their little sister at that. My name is genniveve but my family and close friends call me genni blake's the oldest he's in colledge first year. The other two brody and ty well their twins and seniors. By now they are up and yelling all in the house so i can forget about sleeping the day away and not going to school. Just then i hear a knock on my door "gen you got to get up its a new year and we are with out blake! so now we have no reason to be late you got an hour to get dressed and to eat so hurry up!" that was brody he's a minute older than ty. I get up plug in my curling iron and get to business then do my make up mascara eyeliner lipgloss and blush. I go to my closet and pull out some red skinny jeans black pumps and a shirt that showed just alittle more than usual. Now that blake is gone i'm gunna take advantage of that little bit of freedom he would always tell me to change if iwore stuff he thought wasnt up to his approval and the twins they just tell me to cover up. As i walk down the stairs i see them scarfing down the last of the breakfast my mom made so i go to the cabnet and grab a poptart. While im opening it i notice ty staring at me "What...what are you staring at!?" i say.  He looks at me for a minute and says"BRODY!! you're going to let her leave the house like that!?!" brodys coming down the stairs with something black in his hand which i now notice as my leather jacket. He hands it to me and says"just put it on so we can go" I do as he says and we get in his mustang. Man is his car a beauty its red with a black strip on it. I LOVE IT! 
   
   
   
   RIDGE WAY HIGH 
   We pull up to the school and get a very good parking might i just add. I jump out as soon as the car stops but a hand quickly comes and grabs my arm and me back. BRODY. "yes?" i say. He looks kind of mad " no have a good day or a hug or a i love you bro?""i love you bro" is what isay while giving him a hug i walk up to ty and do the same and leave to my first class....the day went by really fast and i have 4 classes with some seniors none with my brothers thank god! but i do have jess in all of them. Jess is all 3 of the boys's friend but he super close to blake. He talked to me in bio. class about how i was and how was blake i hadnt seen him since blake left 2 months ago. Wow his green emerald eyes just look stright into your soul and those lips are so damn beautiful what i would do to be able to kiss them...oh by the way i have a crush on jess always have since i was nine im 17 now just turned a month ago. we talked for awhile here and there but not for too long at a time he knew where to draw the line unless he wanted a royal ass whipping from my bro's. Almost everybody knew who i was but because of my brothers some guys would even try to talk to me and get at me just to piss my brothers off and to see how much they could get away with NOT MUCH thats forsure hahaha alittle man handling in p.e.  from the twins and blake and they didnt even look my way again. sometimes it was fun but sometimes my brothers ruined good things ugghhhh. Like jess. well atleast he said he's coming over this weekend for blake's visit. As soon as the bell rang i made a run for it during 3rd period jay dallas asked me if he could walk me home i said yes because he was the only boy that has even really talked to me today and plus he's on the football team and he is super gorgous. I met him by the exit and we started walkiing i live on the other side of the train tracks right after the field behind the school. " I was suprised you said yes you know that i could walk you home". "well ofcourse..why would i say no?" i say."no reason hahah ummm.... theres a party this saturday and i would really like you to come..its at billy thompson's house."."Yes i would love to come!" the boys would be distracted  with  blake home i could finally go out and have some fun! we finally got to the tracks and i said bye he leaned in and before i knew what was happening he was kissing me and dang was he good! I didnt relize but i was kissing him back. HONK HONK HONK!!! JAY looks up and i see him blush then i look and see brody's car oh shit. i tell him bye and that i'll see him at school lucky he gets the hint and leaves. I turn around and slam into something hard. ty. "who the hell was that!!?" ty yells at me "none of your business "i say lucky ty is on lacross and not football and doesnt hangout with football players anyway....too bad i couldnt say the same for brody who is infact on the football team and knows jay!! "I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU WITH HIM AGAIN GENNI!!" brody shrieks 
   
   
   
   DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN? 
   Its wed. and i havent seen jay since monday..what if the twins found him and mudered him uhhh okay calm down gen its no big deal they havent even brought it up since monday so scratch that off the list. Just then jay comes into class and smiles at me he takes the seat next mine on my right while jess is on my left omg. "hey cutie" jay says with that comment i blush and sneek a glance at jess he's looking at jay with an arched eyebrow. oh crap! what if he tells brody or ty...oh well its already done!"hey yourself" is my reply. kind of corny but yeah its what i said."well sorry i didnt come to class i came to school but at p.e. brody and ty kind of tackled me and i had to go to the dr.s and make sure nothing was broken...nothing was hahaha."omg."what they did that to you im so sorry"i said "no dont be their just looking out for you and plus that kiss was worth it.!!" oh man he said that pretty loud! i turn alil and see jess's face flaming red! what the heck is he mad that jay was talking about the twins or was he JELLO! HAHA i didnt have time to think about it because jay's lips were on my neck and by my ear whispering something i couldnt hear because i was paying attention to jess...who got up and left the class. The bell rang and i left to brody's car got in and went home when we got home i went to my room...did that really happen..why did jess care what jayy and i did. I went to school the next day no jess and no jay. Okay maybe this is good no boys to distract me the day flew by fast i was already in the car when ty and brody came they looked at eachother and got in the ride was quite and then finally "Are you mad or something lil sis" said ty he looked at brody with begging eyes probably asking for help."nope" is what i said..''oh well you're silent back there like a deaf mute or something".."just dont feel good" is what isaid because honestly i was sort of mad at what they did to jay but i couldnt yell at them for it because then they would know that i talked to him. i ran up to my room and locked my door when we got home and went to sleep. 
   
   
   
   THE WEEKEND IS ALMOST HERE 
   I wake up. I hear laughing booming from downstairs.....wait a minute thats blake's laugh omg i was so caught up in highschool drama i didnt think of blake. I run down stairs and hug him so tight "you're back blake you're back!" "well duhh it's thursday the same day i told everybody i'd be home hahaha!" he says. "Go upstairs and get dressed genni just because blake's here doesnt mean school magically disappered" ughh i forgot i run upstairs and put on my black shorts with the tares on the front and black and white stripe v-neck with my black and white vans. I strighten my hair and put on my makeup grab my black purse and i run back down the boys sit there looking at blake take in the fact that im wearing shorts and  a vneck that is a lil low...my aunt steph says if you got them flaunt them but dont be a hoe.yup she told me that when i was 11 hahaha blake was turning all kinds of colors so i just grabed the twins by their wrists and dragged them tothe car hopped in and left whoo that was close! We arrived at school kind of lateand the boys went to class and i ent to my locker. when i was reacing in hands grabbed my waist and turned me around.jay who was now kissing all over my neck and shoulder. he brings his face back to mine and i bite his bottom lip asking for accesess i was granted hmmm we stayed like that him holding on of my thighs up and his other holding my face and me pushed up against my locker with my hands twisted in his hair next thing i know BAM! a fist connects to jays face blood goes all over my white and black vneck and i fall down because jay was practically holding me and my face hits then floor HARD!. Then i see that same fist coming down again this time to jay's gut ooooohhh that had to hurt finally i look up expecting brody or ty but no its jess with his face mad as hell. With jay crumpled on the floor jess grabs my arm and grab me up i try to pull away but its no use he throws me over his shoulder and his speedwalking to his truck he opens the back door and sets me down on the seat and looks at me at first mad as hell than it looked like he was sorry or scared or something before i can ask whats wrong i feel something drizzle down my forehead to my chin and alot of it and then i see it BLOOD! 
   
   
   
   HOSPITAL 
   Jess took me to st. charles hospital where i got 5 stitches on the side of my forehead. He said he was sorry on the way home it was like 5pm already the hospital took forever. We dont talk for awhile until i say"why did you hit jayy?" he looks at me kind of sad mixed with anger."he was feeling you up in a corner and i could see him reaching for other places to put his hands!!" he sure was mad now"what if i wanted that you didnt know!"i yelled back"i dont care if you wanted him to i cant stand the idea of another guy kissing you or touching you or you wanting that guy to... let alone see it!!!"whattt didd hee sayy!"what did you say ANOTHER GUY"he looks at me"yeah another guy...any guy! come on gen you know how i feel about you how i've always felt"wtf!"wait!noooo! i dont you never have said anything about feelings about me you barely look at me or talk to me!"i say"well do you think i have alot of options? your brothers would kill me and never let me talk to you atleast i get to see you sometimes now but that would all be gone if i told you how i felt or acted on my feelings!" I didnt say anything after that niether did he. I got out of the car without a word..we were already home. "Bye gen" he whispers. 
   
   
   
   WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? 
   I walked into the house and i was rushed by my brothers and questions where were you..do you know what time it is...what happened to your face...who were you with...who did that..i just say goodnight. I go upstairs and take a hot shower and let the water fall on my back i get out and get dressed in my boxers and tank top. KNOCK KNOCK "hey gen.....umm its me blake can i come in?"I open the door and go to sit on my bed he does the same " What happened to your head?""i fell""obvisouly but how?" i tell him the story except the part about what jess said. He shakes his head and hugs me and then walks out of my room i got to sleep. The next day i put my bangs out so they cover my stitches and strighten the rest of it....i put on my white shorts with my red vneck and red vans. I ran down stairs and got in the car just when the boys did we went to school and ty put the radio blasting obvisouly not to talk about what happened blake must have told him. We pull up to school and i got off and walked into school with some people staring at me probably knowing about yesterday ugghh just my day!. I see jess during the day but he doesn't talk to me what the hell how can he say something like he did yesterday and act like it never happened but i guess it doesnt matter to him. I go to class and see jayy sitting next to my seat he smiles at my with a little swollen lip and some purple and blue on some parts of his face. He must not be mad at me? "hey beautiful"he says witha big ol' goofy grin. I see jess looking and then he rolls his eyes oh i'll give him something to roll his eyes at!! He gets me so mad ugggh. I go and sit on jay's lap and give him a kiss on the lips and i hear jess breath loud. ohh well he ignored me. Class ended really fast and jay asked if i still was going to the party the next day. I say yeah and he gives me a kiss bye i go to the car and wait for ty and brody..they come and we get home. 
   
   
   
   my life changes 
   Yesterday i fell asleep early because my head hurt and now today i'm going to jay's party. What am i going to wear? while im thinking this i hear a knock at the front door and people talking or should i say jess and blake and brody talking omg!! I run to the bathroom with my jean shorts and blue muscle shirt and underwear in my hands and jump in the shower i get out and curl my hair and do my makeup. I slowly walk down stairs i get the end of what jess is saying ofcourse giving the details about his fight with jay uggh he's stupid. I go back upstairs and watch t.v. for a few hours and then go to my closet at 6 pm and start looking for what im going to wear.At 8 I pick out cute blacked ripped skinny jeans a cheetah shirt that stops just above my belly button and black pumps that have a strap around my ankle curled hair and some makeup and my leather jacket and climb down the tree next to my window and run across the tracks where i meet jay who gives me a ride to the party. All i can think about is jess so i go a get drink after drink till i start feeling dizzy. Jay started kissing on me and that just reminded me of jess saying he didn't like another guy kissing me i push jay away and leave the party it's like 11 so it's dark outside and i start walking home i can see the train tracks so i start walking a little faster wanting to get home already when i make it to the tracks i fall down and twist my ankle and see my heel stuck in the track so i start pulling but the world is still spinning and now i hear someone yelling my name i turn around and see blake running towards me with the twins and jess wayyyy farther behind him i look where he's looking and see a light and hear a whislte oh shit it's a train!! it gets closer and i feel hands lift me and push me hard and my strap rips i fall and turn to see the train right in fornt of me where blake was and blood all on me."NO!!!" I screamed but it was drowned out by the whistle of the train and a screeching sound! I look down and see all the blood and the train passes and i see ty finally make it and brody and jess closley behind him. 
   
   
   
   BLAKES DEAD 
   Ty reaches me first with tears in his eyes with his hands on me trying to see if i was hurt i just hear myself crying so hard. brody comes and slides down next to me and tells jess to call 911 He grabs me up in his arms and says "are you hurt...where are you hurt!!!!!!!" all i can say is "blake!!!NO!!!NO, NO, NO ,NO!!" Ty and brody are crying to and brody is holding me tight. soon I hear sirens and see flashing lights....before i know what happened we are at home
