He struggled getting his keys from his pocket, after a slight struggle pulled them out of his pocket and unlocked the door. After stumbling slightly he found the light, soon brightness filled the room, and he gently sat her on the bed, covered her up and took the chair next to her bed. He held her hand, she was alive but just looked totally exhausted and suddenly he felt guilty in leaving her. Memories filled his head and he felt relieved, for once they were memories he wanted to remember.

FLASH BACK

Chino 1994

"I bet u can't beat me!" A brown, curly head who at the moment had her hair in 2 messy pigtails, which she had done herself, said boasting. She was also covered in mud, thanks to the impromptu mud fight.

"Nu uh! I am not getting beat by a girl-"but that was a major mistake and the next thing he knew, 10 year old Trey was being chased down by a ten year old, ready for revenge. She caught up with him and tackled him from behind and they both fell into the mud, and a second later every thing was forgotten and their lives were normal for once. "BETHANY ROSE get ur scrawny ass in here now! Immediately Bethany let go of Trey and looked at him with her serious blue eyes, not wanting to go, but she quickly gave him a hug and without a word, ran inside.

They were under their tree, as they had dubbed it, but in reality it was an old oak tree, in a park near where they lived. It seemed that this is where they always went to, to escape from the real world and their troubles. So at this moment they were sitting together, both of them not having to say a word, soon he leaned over to kiss her and she returned the kiss, and they didn't stop.

END FLASHBACK

Trey pulled himself out of his memories, she was not the same person, and neither was he. He was supposed to take care of her, that was his job, but again he screwed up. It seemed like that was the only thing he knew how to do, he could only be a failure, he knew the look, the one that Ryan gave him when he messed up yet again, and it hurt him every time. He tried to playa the role of big brother but it seemed more and more like the roles were reversed. He was fighting a battle everyday, the struggle not to give in, give up and stay in the dark but he couldn't do that, he was stronger than that, at least he strived to be.
