Twisted Secrets

Chapter 1: Friendship

So let's atart from the very beginning. Hi my names August and I had a perfectly normal life living in Florida with my dad and my little brother. I don't have a mom because she died when Josh was born at the time I was only four and didn't understand much but now that I am 16 I understand. Josh is my little brother he used tonhave a twin sister but during birth of them she died because she was a very weak baby when she was born. Mary was my mothers name and William is my dads name they have been maried for 20 years but my dad doesn't like talking about mom or their marriage. When my mom was alive they faught a lot I only remember because at night after they thought I was sleeping is when the faught I used to listen and sometimes I cried until I fell asleep. After my mom died my dad started to drink a lot and he started to do drugs which left me to raising my brother alone. I also had to take care of my dad and make sure he never did anything to hurt himself or worse. It was hard for me when I grew up mostly because I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression at a very young age and so nobody wanted to be friends with me because I was a "freak" or "a monster" but I tried to hide my feelings as a child. But one day at school I met a girl who called herself Kate. Kate and I were inseparable after we became friends we went to each others houses every day after school until we reached high school for the first 2 years we didn't talk much because we had so much to do in high school we met new friends and just parted. When we did become friends again 3 months later she committed suicide. Everybody was horrified by it I didn't go to school for a week I was to deppressed to even get out of bed. I had a really hard time understanding why she killed herself I was devistated. I always blamed myself for it I always said it was my fault and that I shouldn't have left her house early that day to help my brother with homework. When I finally went back to school I got made fun of again they called me a "killer" because they thought I lead her to suicide. But how could I she was my only friend that I had that actually wanted to be friends and stay friends. After being at school for a month I started to wonder more and more why Kate killed herself I really started to think about it more and more. I thought to myself why would she ever do that she never thought of suicide or anything remotely close to that. So I decided to ask her parents if they knew anything about the case. They told me something which I was shocked about and I wanted to get to the bottom of it.
