He says to me, "I will never let anyone hurt you." This is when I made my first mistake... I believed him. He said, "We are more than best friends... We are greatest friends. We are here to protect each other. We are like big brother and little sister." He gains my trust and makes me believe that I am safe in his presence. Constantly reminding me of sibling love. Then, one day... It happened. The thing I knew was going to happen all along. He takes me boating, knowing my fear of water and my history of almost drowning. He does that thing that makes me trust him. He takes us out to the middle of the river. He calls me, "Little sis." Next thing I know, he is threatening to drown me, if I don't do what he wants. I am scared. What do I do? Thoughts are speeding through my head. I played along and after he says, "Little sis. You know how much I love you."

"Greatest Friends"
Making up you're own story A lonely path to chose But the best one to take, despite the homesick blues.

You're own story
One little window in my tiny dorm room. To watch the sun rise and then sleep Makes me miss my tree house windows untoasted bagels for breakfast And a textbook for a friend-- Thomas's 12th edition One little Window. That keeps me sleeping Until noon. One little window. That keeps me so concealed. One little window That makes me miss home.

Homesick
They say home is where the heart is I think they're right But they don't tell you that you don't just feel the hole it leaves When you're alone at night Home is not a hole that can be filled easily And the constant little reminders really get to me Like looking at the hills Where mountains ought to be I left my heart in Colorado With my friends and family There I had my first kiss And I learned how to read Learned to ride a bike And how to climb a tree A lifetime of memories Eight hundred miles away I guess you can say I'm feeling a bit homesick today.
