I hate that he's alone out there, lost and confused. I want to be there for him, helping me get through this, but I was told to stay right here.
So I'm staying put. Well, I'm trying to stay put. I'm not exactly comfortable sitting in one place, not when my brother is out there, trying to run away from the cops for a crime he didn't commit.
Every part of me wants to run home, bury myself in my covers and go back to the start of summer. I'd go back and do it right. I'd change the story, panning it out to make it so we never found that boat underwater, because from the moment we did, everything slowly fell apart. In fact, I think I'd go even further back and beg my father to stay home instead of going on his trip.
Basically, if I knew then what I know now, I'd go back and fix it. I'd change the story. I'd change the narrative.
But that's physically impossible.
Instead of changing the story to how I want it, I'm stuck, wishing for everything to be different.
I'd do absolutely anything to go back.
But then again, would I really if given the choice?
I cast a glance over my shoulder, finding JJ and Pope to be in conversation. We're at The Wreck, hiding out for the night. I'm sat outside after changing the bandage on my hip, staring up at the stars above my head. I haven't seen any cops nor heard them. If I had, I wouldn't be out here.
Back to the question of, if given the choice to go back and fix everything, would I?
Well, there's one reason I wouldn't go back, and he's sitting right there, laughing easily despite all the shit that's spiralled in the past two days.
