Letter 3
Dear Alex,
Your funeral is over. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I don't think your brother's really knew what was going on and even if they did i don't thing they understood. I barely understand. I had to read your eulogy because your parents couldn’t bear to do it. I read about how amazing of a person you were and how much everyone loved you. I couldn’t finish it. I burst into tears right in the middle of it. I fell to my knees. Austin came up and lifted me to my feet. We finished together. Then it was time to go to the graveyard and bury you. It was so hard not being able to see you. Your parents had requested a closed casket. It was so hard to see you being lowered into the ground. Austin held me through the whole thing. I knew it was hard for him. He actually cried, and Austin never cries. When the funeral was finally over Austin invited me to go to lunch with him. I don’t know if it was truly sincere or if he just felt sorry for me. But regardless we got Chinese take-out and vanilla ice cream and headed back to my apartment. You remember when I finally moved out of my mom’s house? You helped me move all my stuff. Austin, being gone, had never seen it. He took a look around while I set up our food on the table in front of the TV. We watched Teenwolf. Our favorite show. It felt like the old days. It felt like he had never left. I just wish he hadn’t come back under these circumstances. I wish that you were still here. Remember when we used to call you Reuben, your middle name. You used to get so angry and you would yell that your name was Alex, not Reuben. And me and Austin would crack up and eventually you would laugh too. I have to go now. I promise I will write to you tomorrow.
