Dee

I’s in this world you can’t forgive

Alex Dressner deserved to have his life shattered To have everything he’d built cruh with him, he’d be broken and alone, and even then, it’d not be even a small part of the misery he’d caused my family

TheI’d found out my brother had died, I’d been half-awake, lost in blissful daydreaether with Alex All I needed to do was to stop hirown up and wasn’t that dumb kid any more, the path to true love would be clear and rose-strewn He’d gaze into my eyes and tell me I was the only one for him, he’d just been too blind to see it, then he’d cup ainst mine…

Then Mum burst into my room I pulled the covers over my head I didn’t want that dreaood bit

“Dee,” she said, her voice quivering “You have to listen to me”

The words she’d said had changed me forever

At first, I was stunned I could hear the sounds she made but the actual words didn’t penetrate my brain Slowly, they started to make sense but I didn’t want the it inside They were part a nightmare They couldn’t be reality Jake would ju it was a stupid prank — and I’d beat the living crap out of him because that really wasn’t funny

A spider dangled on a thread fro his progress That spider made sense to me It was real If I concentrated on that spider, my mind could stay blocked off, the words would never sink in

But that didn’t work

Moments later, I screamed I cried

The truth sank in, despite oodbye the night before, when I’d wished hi with him, that had been the last time I’d ever see him
