Epilogue (Jai)

I missed my brother everyday. It was so hard to keep going without him. Every time that I saw Carter it reminded me of him because of how much he cared about her and every time I saw Luke it reminded me of how are family was incomplete. Mom didn't take the news well at all. A mother should never out live her son. The funeral was dreadful and I know everyone just needed one last joke from Beau to lighten the mood. But there was no joke, just tears. I lived with James, Carter, Daniel, and Luke for a while until Carter moved in with Kian, James got married and bought a house with Tammy, Carter came back then moved out again with Daniel, Daniel came back (because of a completely dick move) and then moved to England. It eventually became just me and Luke but then I met Cara. Cara worked at a Starbucks that I went to one night and it was truly love at first sight. I asked for her number and we started dating after seeing each other a few times. Everything was going great. We dated for about a year and then tragedy struck. I had been spending so much time with Cara that I had slightly forgotten about Luke. I thought that he was better but he was clearly just putting on an act. One night Cara and I came back to my place and I found a note on the kitchen counter. It read:
"Dear Jai,
I am so sorry that I did this to you and mom but I just couldn't handle the pain anymore. Every night I have nightmares and then I wake up and my big brother isn't there to comfort me. I've missed him for so long and it's caused me so much pain. I finally gave into the pain. I don't mean to hurt you and mom and I'm sorry if I do by doing this but I hope you know that I'll be with Beau again and that I'll be happy again. Please be happy that I'm happy again because I haven't been in so long. I love you twin brother. Tell mom that I love her too. I'm sorry.
-Luke"
I ran upstairs and found him hanging from the ceiling of Beaus old bedroom. I called 9-1-1 and brought him down but there was nothing I could do. He was gone.
I continued to date Cara and took her with me to Luke's funeral. I cried in front of her and all she did was comfort me. After that day I knew that she was the love of my life. I proposed a year later and we're now married with one little 2 year old girl named Tammy Carter Brooks.
