You sat on a bench under a roof. You were supposed to be at a party your friend hosted with your older brother, but after having a panic attack no one knew about in the bathroom you went home on foot

You knew your introverted self wouldn't be able to handle the noise, the people, especially the fact that you didn't know anyone there

You got so used to being alone that it became your favorite thing. Whether it was being cramped up in your room while reading books or being on your phone

You did have friends but no one knew about your issues, not even your brother. The rain pouring was the only thing you could hear

You loved summer but damn, how were you gonna get home? The tears were now dry on your cheeks as you heard the roar of an engine and saw your brother's best friend Axell on his bilke

Your brother, Kory must've told him he saw you going home. He got off the bike and made his way over to you, you two were never close, you were mostly rude to each other or he'd just tease you

But now it was different

His t-shirt clung to his body, if only it was white but he loved the color black too much for that
