Later that day Tracy found herself alone in her room. She was propped upwards on her bed sipping on a diet coke, finishing up some homework. A few times she had stopped and looked out of the window which was open and let in a soft breeze. It played gently across her face and washed her body in it. In some ways it felt like a relief, like even if so many things around her were changing some things could never change.

Just at that moment her brother entered the room, his gorgeous blue eyes scanned the room taking in the surroundings and then they rested upon the form of Tracy who was drinking her coke and looking at him in annoyance.

'What is it' Tracy finally said.

Mason said nothing. He stood there, still as a statue hardly blinking. And then Tracy noticed a single tear streaming down his face, and the expression on her face changed completely. Now she looked confused but sympathetic too.

Mason walked towards her, and without warning leaned in and hugged her. And despite the noise from outside Tracy heard two words that she should be saying, but for some strange reason it was her brother who was saying them.

'I'm sorry' he said. He backed away and kept his hands on each of her shoulders and looked her in the face. Tracy didn't know what to say. She was so confused and didn't know how to react.

Mason began to walk away but Tracy took his arm and pulled him down to sit on the bed beside her.

'What's going on?' she asked

He was looking down when he mumbled 'it's nothing'

'Look Mason, I've known you since I was born and I can tell there's something wrong' Tracy argued.

'It's nothing Tracy. I have homework to do' He tried to get up to leave but Tracy gripped his arm tighter.

'Please tell me! I can tell your upset!'

'IM NOT!' Mason yelled pulling his arm away violently and crossing to the other side of the room.

Tracy looked surprised. 'I'm sorry I just thought-'

'YOU THOUGHT WHAT! U COULD JUST GO OUT SCREW AROUND LEAVE ME AND MOM HERE WORRIED TO DEATH! AND AFTER EVERYTHING WOULD JUST BE FINE!...' he paused and took a deep breath 'well it's not Tracy…it's not alright'

It was silent for only a minute. But it felt to Tracy as if hour's even days had passed before either of them spoke.

'I'm sorry,' Tracy said quietly. After all everything that had happened in the passed few weeks was partly her fault and partly Evie Zamora's fault. She stood up and walked towards her brother who was in front of her closet. As she approached Mason took one step back but Tracy continued to approach him.

She was directly in front of him now. 'I'm so sorry' she said and hugged him. He hugged her back. It wasn't much but Tracy knew it was his way of saying that he forgave her.

The remainder of that night both of them stayed awake until about 4: 00 in the morning. They talked about everything…life, drugs, stuff that happened with Evie, The time when Mason had caught her downtown hardly wearing anything and acting like a complete slut. But despite all of it Tracy liked that she could tell her brother about it. She was happy that she was able to tell her brother all this. If it was someone like Evie for example she may not feel so comfortable.

She loved her brother…more then words could say. And right now that's all that she cared about.

AWWW YAY! Chapter 4 going strong! OMG! I've been getting so many loving reviews thank you so much! For those of you who want to know the reason I did this chapter about Tracy and her brother is that in the movie I didn't think they showed enough of a relationship between them so I wrote about what I think should have been included in the movie.

Also this story is mostly about Tracy and all the people in her life that she had come to know. I am planning a really big twist later on in the story hint: reason why Evie didn't move to Ohio. Keep reading to see what happens—much love, Stephanie
