gone

"kendall- whatever happens to us today, wether we get separated or even killed, just remember something. I love you, and if we are seperated, I'll never stop looking for you. mommy and daddy will send people out to find you. I'll never forget you- please don't forget me. I'm always here, always. okay? you will be okay-" bang. right there, in front of me- lays my dead brother.

"fifteen was too young to go.

he should've been able to live a full life; explore the world. as he would say: 'live a little, have some fun'. all of the plans that we had made, gone. just like that. at the shot of a pistol. one shot. one life. one boy. gone."

I still remember those two days, just like they were yesterday. the worst days of my life. the day that I had to go to sleep in the woods, covered in my brothers blood, waiting for somebody to come and help me; and the day that my parents wanted me to speak at his funeral.

I was thirteen, he was fifteen. a two year diffrence didnt change anything between us. he was my best friend. yeah, I had other friends; but when you have someone you actually get along with living with you, you tend to grow close.

I miss him more and more every day, and I will never forget the last moment we shared together. he told me everything was going to be okay- but now, it's not.

I couldn't do anything as he lay there in my arms, blood pouring out of his back. I knew that he wasn't going to make it, when the bullet had hit impact with the back of his rib cage, he fell to the ground and it was almost as if he was going to drown in his own pool of blood.

my mother was a doctor at the time, and still is. but even though she taught us cpr and what to do in bad situations, neither lijah or I had would have known what to do if the other sibling was shot in their arms.

but something I will forever regret is running. when they got him.. I ran. I ran out of the house, and into the woods. I was terrified, and scarred for life.

I waited there for three hours crying for someone to come find me and take me back to my brothers warm embrace that I knew I would never feel again.

maybe if I would've stayed and tried to do something, it would have saved him.

but now, it's no use thinking of. he's gone.

forever.
