Trigger Warning?

When I got that call I froze. I couldn't move I couldn't even think. It hurt so much. I didn't believe it I still don't. I didn't understand your reasoning at the time but I guess it made sense.

We had gotten into a fight the night before and I had left you. You were in such a bad place at the time. Your brother the closest thing you had disappeared and the kids at school started saying really hurtful things.

You had gotten suspended for punching a kid.

That's why I loved you. You didn't take anything from anyone and you were just so fun to be around. You were actually really funny and how could no one love that sparkle in your eyes.

Your eyes. The window to your soul if I had payed more attention I could see the broken pieces just waiting to be fixed. Waiting for someone to see them and fix it with duct tape. You were waiting for someone to notice to love you to care.

And I couldn't be that person.

I was broken and you fixed me. You took the time to fix me with duct tape.

Even if sometimes it had to be over my mouth.

You took the time to fix me. To mend me. To put me together with duct tape. Why didn't I do that with you? Why didn't I fix you? Why did I ignore your pleas for help. I was fucking selfish.

When I got that call and after I froze my world came crashing down. I realized I wouldn't wake up to see you at school. I realized that I'd never hear another snarky remark from you.

I drove to the hospital almost getting into accidents my eyes were blurry from the tears. I asked what happened and found out that you were found by your neighbour in your bathtub; wrists slit.

I cried myself to sleep every day for the next 3 months. I wanted to see you again to touch your hair. That will never happen though.

So, from now on I'll make sure I'll fix anyone with duct tape. I never want to be selfish again. I keep your duct tape on my broken pieces so I always remember you.

This is to you:
Keith
Mullet head
Ass
The love I'll never get back.

Sorry?
Sorry for the long wait for this chapter. I'm just lazy.

Until next time?
