( TW- SUICIDE )

THE CAR ride back was extremely quiet. The two men knew so much was on their mind. But..they couldn't say it.

As they walk inside the house, that was when Sinn spoke up. Miguel turns around, seeing Sinn in front of him. "Are you okay?" He asked him. Miguel didn't know how to answer that. "I don't know. A mental facility, ptsd? What did Chino do to him?"

Sinn looks down, "horrible things. I'm so sorry this happened, Miguel." He compels with sympathy. Miguel didn't say much back, besides give Sinn a hug, wrapping his arms around the older males waist. "I hate Veera's dad." Miguel says.

They pull away, Sinn's expression dying down. "I have a letter for Veera. If he...erases the whole back page..it'll have the actual letter. I know they'll go through his stuff at that place."

Miguel nods. "Will he know?" "Yeah, he will."

Miguel and Sinn took a seat on the bed in Sinn's bedroom. They just sat there, staring at the ground in silence. The two didn't expect any of this to happen. Sinn thought he was going to kill Chino with no drama and no regrets. Now, his son landed in a mental hospital and he feels so guilty for killing Chino.

Miguel thought Veera was going to turn on Chino or not even know what he was doing. But, he did..and he killed those people due to the abuse and manipulation.

This world was fucked.

A part of Sinn just wanted to say the truth at court. He wanted to tell them that he killed Chino and Veera was going to kill Miguel, that was their plan..but, he couldn't. Veera would've gone to jail instead.

"Make sure you sleep. It was a long day."

Sinn nods, watching as Miguel stood up. "I'm gonna lay down." He leaves the room, while Sinn looked down, wondering.

...

The next day, Veera laid down on his bed in the room. He shared a room with three people, and they were pretty nice. He goes to classes, he's supposed to see a psychologist today for medication.

"Veera, you have a letter." He turns around, seeing one of the nurses holding his opened letter. They check everything. "Thanks." Veera mutters.

He looks through it, hope you are doing good. the back of the page is if you want to write back. i'm sorry, i will visit soon. love, miss armstrong

Veera was confused, he knew no one with that name. He turns it around, seeing the whole page shaded behind the back, all in grey. Veera was even more confused, he took an eraser from his desk and started to erase the back. Maybe it said something?
