Ally is 15 years old and has a lot kept hidden, she battles her demons on a daily basis.
Keath is 17 years old. He hides behind a smile and lives on his own, he believes no one will love him, that he's a mistake, will they be able to keep each other afloat, or will they fall trying?

Dont Let Me Fall

When I got home it was late, or later than I normally get home on a weekend. I heard the music pounding from outside on the front lawn, what the hell is he doing? 


I walked in covering my ears and saw Keath drunk, a bottle of whiskey in hand and eyes closed. 


I walked past him and into the master bedroom, yes I'm still pissed off and hurt from this morning...or afternoon. 


After a while, I heard the music get turned off and I crawled into bed, pretending I was sleeping. 


I heard the door open and close, I felt the bed dip down on his side, I felt his arms snake around me and pull me close, I smelt the whiskey on his breath and it churned my stomach. 


I ignored it, still pretending I was sleeping, childish I know...but that's the only way that I am going to be able to calm myself completely and get my thoughts together. 


Finally, Keath gave up after an hour of trying, I waited till he was passed out and went to go watch some anime and clear my mind.
