Mae

Doc.

Have you visited your brother since he's been incarcerated?

My brother? Oh, Dustin. Dustin has been locked up for 13 years. I refuse to visit him.

Why?

He killed someone right in front on me. Apparently that wasn't the first person he murdered.

How did he kill the person?

He uh, beat her to death.

She was his girlfriend, right?

Yes.

Were you close to her?

Very. She was more of a sister to me than my own sisters were.

What was her name?

Dezimae Ann. I called her Dezi.

What happened exactly?

Dezi wanted to leave him. And my brother didn't like that. *chuckles* He did not. Dezi didn't love him anymore, but he was obsessed with her. Dezi ran away from New York, went to Delaware. My brother tracked her down and dragged her back to New York. She tried to leave again. He got angry. It was the last straw. He grabbed Zack's metal baseball bat and hit her *sobbing* . The police couldn't identify her. That's how bad he beat her.

Did you try to stop him?

Of course.

What was your favorite thing about Dezimae?

She taught me everything. I mean everything. How to draw. How to straighten my hair. How to braid hair. How to be strong for other people. *sniffles*

What happened to you after that?

I became a different person. That's when i met Lucas. Was after that. I never told him about that. I've never told anyone about that actually. She was my only hope. I love her for eternity. I wish she was still here. Is our time up?

Yes, sadly. Hopefully we can talk about this again.
