"Why?" I said weakly with tears pouring down my face, Abbey was stone faced, staring straight ahead like a soldier, usually, usually that's what I do. But this. This broke me.
Roy, he left. He left and he isn't coming back for who knows how long.
No goodbye. No explanation. Nothing. He just left. Disappeared into the world.
Why did he wait till after our birthday? Abbey and I just turned 13. Why now? Why not before?
"Honey, your brother had to go away for his studies." My mom said sweetly masking her own worries.
"He could've at least said goodbye, left a note. Something."
I mumble, hurt that Roy didn't think to tell us where he was going or when he'd come back.
"He didn't want to say goodbye cause he didn't want the two of you to feel sad."
"He went about it the wrong way." Abbey shot before storming of into the woods.
~that was the last time we saw Abbey. We all figured she just ran away but what really happened was much much worse~
