"What?"

There is no way in hell this is happening right now. There is no way my life is this bad. That God, or who every the fuck is up there is playing this sick, torturous game with me.

They found him, they found my brother!

But then I remember. I remember that Sam told me that there was bad news.

I remember everything.

"They um, found him and I don't know how to say this but. . . um. . ." he looks down.

And there it is. The life changing moment were all hope is lost and all you get is pain and sadness. The adder disbelieve that all you want to do is scream and cry.

Were all you want to do is let go.

I can feel the tears running down my face like a river. And I don't want to stop them.

Out of my blurry vision, I see Sam left up his head. Only to see tears of his own.

"Tell me." I sob. "Tell m-me how it happened. Pleas-se"

He looks at me. Making sure what I really said was true. Making sure of what he is about to tell me next, I really want to hear.

Here's the thing with Sam thought, he won't pity you or show you how he really feels until he knows it himself. that's what I like about him

I nod and he starts.

"From what I know, someone found him. They said that he was found at a clearing. Laying down on his back, looking up. I don't exactly know everything, but I do know that the people who found him, would like to see you. It was a couple actually. They are the one's who called me. Along with the police."

As I take in the information, all I can really think of is what it was like. What is it like to see him again? Or, what he did in his last moments.

I have to go see this couple. Not for me. Not for my mom and dad. But for him. For my brother.

"Sam. . . Thank you. I really think I'm going to see them. I need to see them. . ."

He shakes his head and asks, "When do you want to leave?"

I look at him, tears still flowing down my face.

"Now."

After a long time of packing, booking tickets, and making sure everything is as it should be, were here.

As in here, I mean back were it all started. My home town.

As I look at the house in front of me, I feel scared.

Scared that of what I'm about to hear is going to break my heart all over again. Scared that I don't know what I'm going to do after this. Scared of what will happen in everything.

But thank God Sam came with me. Even thought it was last minute, he did most of the work. Even calling them and making plans to meet.

So now, like I said, are here. Standing in front of a two-story house. There house.

As I look to my right, I see Sam already looking at me.

I know he knows that things are going to happen in this house. And he also knows I need him right now.

I feel his hand grad mine and intertwine our fingers. Giving me a reassuring squeeze and pulling me to walk to the house.

You can do this Alex. You have to do this.

As we start to walk up the stairs, I feel nerves.

No, fuck that. I feel very nerves.

Sam rings the doorbell and steps back into step with me. Waiting for them to open the door.

After a minute later, a man opens the door. He looks young for his age. Maybe 27. He has light brown hair and dark brown eyes. Showing no signs of ageing anywhere.

Sam is the first one to speak.

"Hello Mr. Ray. I'm Sam, the one you called to inform me about Alex's brother." Sam says and reach's his hand out for them to sake.

Mr. Ray takes his hand and opens the door more for us to walk in.

"Please, call me Anthony. Your making me sound older they I actually am." he jokes. Only getting a small smile from me and I laugh from Sam.

Anthony then leads us to the living room were a young lady, probably the same age as Anthony, is sitting.

She has short brown hair and light blue ocean eyes. Oh, how I wish I had her eyes. . .

She quickly stands up and walks over to us.

Reaching out her hand she says, "Hi, I'm Ava. It's nice to meet you both." and then sending us a small smile after snaking our hands.

"Please, take a seat." She says as both us, and them, take a seat opposite of each other.

After taking our seats, there's a long silence. You could easily hear a pin-drop.

I guess I'll start it off then. . .

"Um. . . I would like to know what happened to my brother. Everything you remember would be helpful." I say.

They both look at each other and then look back at me.

"Before we start, my fiancé and I would like to say we are very sorry for your loss. We would never want anyone to go though this. And what we are about to tell you as well." Anthony says, taking his girls hand and giving it a big squeeze.

"Thank you." I say and hope for the best.

I really hope that best will help me more then it sounds like.
