Hi guys this guy above was June's brother Mason before he died.
Nick's POV

I swung my legs back and forth. I was sitting on my car. I took a deep breath. Where was she? I pulled my phone out; it read 4:00pm. It's been nearly 15 minutes since I've been outside. June came out without looking me in the eye. "Hey" I greeted her. "Hey" she said quietly. I peered at her face, "I'm sorry that I said those things to you didn't deserve it." "It's okay." I motioned her over to sit next to me. She sat down beside me and I looked at her. "I lived a hard childhood but learning to stand up for myself changed me." "I became stronger and confident." I'm happy with who I am and  I will never regret the day I fought Hunter Leon." She smiled a little. I missed her smile and a feeling of relief washed over me. "You know I never told you my story." "You have a story?" I asked jokingly. She gave me a weird look, "Yes I do have one." "Ok sorry go on" I said.

"When I was 9 years old, I lost my big brother in an car accident. We left the carnival on our way home. In the car my brother was talking about how clowns weren't scary. I disagreed telling him it was scary because of the smiles they gave you and how they approached you. While we were having this discussion, a drunk man nearly the age of 30 crashed into us. A few hours later I woke up, with a dislocated shoulder and a few scratches but I was fine. I crawled to the front of the seat check on my brother and I saw blood everywhere on him. On his shirt, on his face, on his arms and legs. It was everywhere. I looked at his eyes to see if he was awake but his eyes were closed. I immediately called 911 and I told them that we were just in a car accident. I took a picture of the driver's license plate so we could track him down later. They came and took my brother to an hospital. While I was in the ambulance with them I called my Mum. I told her we were at the hospital. When my family heard the news they came to the hospital as fast as they could. I waited and found my my mum, dad and sister. When my mum saw me she asked me what happened? I told her that we were in an car accident. I had on a cast for my arm from them popping my arm back into place and a few band aids on my cheeks. While we waited my Mum and Dad comforted me and I on the other hand was shaking. The doctor came out and told us he was gone. I begged him if I could say good bye to him and he let me. My family came in with me and when I saw him I bawled. I screamed for him to wake up. I went up grabbed his body and I shook him. My parents had to pull me back. My big brother meant everything to me. I looked up to him as he taught me by example, he was always so kind and would listen to my problems and was full of life. I loved him very much and he was a good big brother. But that day was the worse day for me. When I was home I refused to eat and sleep for days, when my parents begged me to. The funeral came and I went with my family. When that happened we decided to cremate him. That night I was so depressed I tried to commit suicide. My Dad caught me with a knife in my hand and I was about stab myself in my chest. My Dad stopped me just in time before I took my life. That rest of the night my Dad watched me. The next day, my family didn't wouldn't allow me to go to school either. My Mum decided to home school me for a year and I went to a suicide rehab center for two years. I was lost for a long time. I finally recovered from my struggles and went back to school."

I was shocked she went through a hell of a lot worse. June was strong and perhaps maybe even stronger than me. My body moved on its own and my arms wrapped around her. I haven't given anyone a hug since I was very young. Why am I doing this? Before I could pull away, June hugged me back. We pulled away. I began to feel my ears burn, so I turned to my car. I looked back at her. "Come on I'll take you home" I said and opened the door for her. I drove the car in silence and checked on her a few times. "Hey June what was your brother's name?" I asked. She put a smile to her lips and said, "His name was Mason."
