good books. They think I can’t hear them, making out, but I can, and it makes me sick. Why can’t she see what an utter prick he really is?
I’ve stopped dropping by her room to talk, because he’s always there, a smug look on his face that makes me want to hit him; with my laptop.

Is it wrong that I want to say ‘I told you so’? It’s not something I’ve ever wanted to say before, but for some reason, now seems an appropriate time to do so. Ty’s attention to Holly has gone from full on to nonexistent, which can only mean one thing for my brother. He finally got his way and is no longer interested in her.
Up until the other day, he was all over her like white on rice, and then he took her out for the day. Since then, he’s barely looked at her, and whenever she walks into the same room, he spouts some bullshit about having something to do. Every time this happens, hurt flashes across her face. She thinks no one can see it, but I can. Mom and Dad are oblivious, but that’s nothing new.
Holly and I are spending more time together, and I managed to tell her about Jessie, knowing it was likely she’d heard rumors around school. She was sweet and understanding, having had similar experiences back home, but I found her glaring at Jessie at any opportunity she could. That made me feel uncomfortable, but there was nothing I could do about it. Well, there was. I went out last night and keyed the side of Ty’s car while he went out with his friends to see some action movie. The roar out him this morning made it all worthwhile, and the dumb jock didn’t even consider it was me. Watching him had to leave an hour early to go and catch the bus while his car gets a respray is great. I may be ‘the smart one’, but a little mindless revenge easily pleases me now and then, just like everyone else.
I think, and I hope I’m right, that me and Holly are slowly becoming friends, and that even after this joint assignment is done with, we’ll stay that way. She’s pretty cool.

I had a meeting with Mizz . Jones this morning, just a quick ten minute thing for her to check out how I’m keeping my anger in check. She asked if I was still writing in this journal. When I told I was, she was real pleased, but didn’t ask to see it again, which is cool with me.
That’s it; I’m free from therapy. My life is mine to do with as I wish, without worrying about someone second guessing or questioning why I’ve done something.

Chapter Seven
May 2012
Holly’s leaving tomorrow and I’m not sure how I’ll deal with it. We had. . . Have a connection. It’s more than just sex though, which with her was so different than with Jessie. I know I shouldn’t compare them, but as they’re the only girls I’ve been with, it’s kind of hard not to.
That night wasn’t planned or anything, but the best things never are. While I have my suspicions about what went down between her and Ty, I never addressed it. I simply went along with the moment. It started out as a kiss that got more and more heated as time went by. The little moans coming from her spurred me on, and soon she was screaming. It was like music to my damn ears.
I’d never understood the fascination guys my age have with sex, until Holly screamed my name, so loud my ears were ringing. Up until that moment, I’d never ‘got it’, but now I do.
Determined to make her feel wanted, rather than used by yet another King Brother, I held her in my arms, whispering nonsensical things into her ear. Trying to convey my feelings into my physical actions was hard, especially as I have no true idea what they are.
Today, we went out driving. There was no end destination, I just wanted to get out of the house for a while, and be alone with her. I admitted I would miss her when she left and asked if we could keep in touch. Her crying wasn’t quite the
