SIX MONTHS AFTER GRADUATION
Grayson

If I'm being honest, I was really angry for a long time.

Not at Brooklyn, just at myself.

I felt guilty for not seeing this coming. How could I not have known she wasn't feeling safe enough to stay?

I hated that her father was still getting to her in some ways. I hated that she still felt threatened by him, and I hated that she didn't realize I'd do anything to keep him away from her.

I didn't understand, and I missed Brooklyn a lot.

I channeled all of my negative thoughts and energy into playing football, because something good has to come out of every positive situation.

Miraculously, I even made the Dean's List at Missouri State University.

Once football season ended a couple of weeks ago, I've had a little bit of a hard time. Now that I have more free time, that gives me more time to think about Brooklyn, and how much I miss her.

Ethan gets mad at me every time I re-read her letter, but I can't help it. It's one of the only pieces of her that I have left, and I'm honestly still trying to figure out what the fuck it all means.

It's been six months and I'm alive,  it I'm not sure if I'm living.
