Chapter 1

Hirt is what I felt as I was walking home that night. "He never really cared." I whispered as I kicked a rock. I could the warmth of tears falling down my face at the thought that he actually loved me. It was just a game to him...but to me it was so much more. I thought as I pushed open the gate to the orphanage.

Right as I stepped in the door Alex came running to me "So how'd your little date go April?" he asked with a lot of interest. I just kept walking with my head down. I looked up at him after about five minutes of silence, "I got stood up." i chocked on those words. 

Alex looked at me "Eh, you can do better then a a*s hole jock." he grabbed me, and held me in his arms. I laid my head on his chest and uttered out words I never saw myself saying, "A..am I ugly?" I looked at him with concern in my eyes.

"Absolutely not!" he replied. He grabbed my by the shoulders and looked me in the eyes. His beautiful brown eyes looking straight through me. "You are as pretty as a peach." he said. And I couldn't help but laugh when he said that. "Haha good, I got you to laugh." 

"C"mon lets go to bed." I said as I started to walk down the long hall.

"Okay." he said following close behind me. Since me and Alex lived in an orphanage we shared a room... It wasn't always like that, it's just we've gotten so close that it just works. 

Alex was actually here a year or two before I came. I was five once my mom decided she didn't want me, and Alex was there from the beginning. He had always been my friend... And I hope he always will.

I walked into the room and slammed the door in Alex's face. "Hey c"mon now!" he shouted

"You may be my best friend, and you may sleep in the same room as me but you're still a guy." I yelled as I was taking off my shirt.

"I'm coming in!'' he said reaching for the doorknob 

"Don't you dare! I'm shirtless fool!" I yelled 

"As if I care." he opened the door.

"You are such an a*s." I said 

"So I've been told." he said."Just grab one of my shirts out of the closet." he pulled his shirt off. I walked over to his closet and grabbed a shirt out of it, and put it on. I pulled down my pants and hopped into bed.

"See you look fantastic in my Beatles shirt." he said as he grabbed a pair of basketball shorts off the floor.

"Really!? Get some clean shorts!'' I said as he started to smell the shorts.

"What?! They don't stink, and someone hasn't been doing the laundry. I'm not going to point fingers.....APRIL..." he said as he out on his shorts. He hopped into his bed and looked at me.

"I'm not your wife Alex." I shoved my face into a pillow, and pulled my blanket over my head.

"Oh c'mon A you know I was kidding." he walked over to my bed, "Hey, what's wrong?" 

I let out a loud sigh, "It's nothing but...." I rolled over and looked at him, "Can we push our beds together tonight..?" I asked 

"Of course." he said. I got out of bed and moved the night stand between our beds. Alex grabbed his bed and pushed it up against mine. I hopped in to bed and laid down. Alex got in next to me and put his arm around me. I rolled over, and soon after we both fell asleep.

that is really cute

It's a sweet start to a story, but it could do with a bit of editing to bulk out the discourse and fix a few mistakes such as the oppening line: 'Hirt is what I felt' which should be 'Hurt', and 'I could the warmth' is missing the word 'feel'.

Might help to get someone to proof read for you before you post, because it's usually hard to spot mistakes by yourself. Overall, it's a good start.
