"Hi. You probably don't know me. I found your number on my older brother's phone. He saved you as KJ which does sound oddly familiar.
"My brother hasn't left his room for three whole days. I listened in and I don't think he's showered in three days either. The only thing he eats is oranges. Probably because peeling them helps with stress.
I feel like you caused his stress. He won't even look at me any more. He doesn't sleep or scold me if I go into his room and read his journals out loud in front of him. He just lets his eyes full up with tears at the poems about you.
"You got to come back, KJ. I don't know if you know Cyrus as well as I do but, Cyrus NEVER cries. He has been very strange without you. He has written these long apology letters and lists of all possible ways to kill oneself. It has me a bit worried about him.
I don't know if you dumped him or what but if you're just going to sit there and-and , let my big brother kill himself because of whatever happened between you two. *blows his nose* then I'll blame YOU!"
