Dear Autumn,
I understand now.
And it's sad that I understand.
I understand why you didn't come to school. Why you cried so much. Why you had to put on a mask to cover up your sadness.
Because your brother... died.
And I am so sorry.
Not only for you, but for everyone.
Because Ryan was one the best people I knew. He was the only male figure in my life that I completely worshipped.
Even more than my dad.
Because Ryan was always honest and accepting, and everything that my dad wasn't.
He liked when I was around. He teased us when we used to hold hands. He even gave me the talk about how he'd kill me if I ever hurt you. It would've been scary if we hadn't played video games right after (and if he wasn't laughing so much during his speech).
Ryan was the brother I never had.
And it hurts. Like it always does. It hurts so much and it hurts even more knowing that you're in pain.
I guess it's funny how life works though. Now, we're both messed up.
But I'll be there for you, Autumn. I always will be.
I promise.
Love,
August
