The Letter I'll Never Send - A Braylen POV Short Story

I wanted to explore Braylen's feelings towards a certain Villareal boy after the last episode of Stranger Stories (episode 3). I've been wanting to do it for a while, really, and I try to do it as much as I can in my other Brammy story, but I knew I wanted to do it now specifically because of the amount of hate I've been seeing towards Braylen these past couple of days. There are people commenting on Youtube, Twitter and Instagram, saying that Braylen doesn't deserve Sammy, he's a bad friend, he doesn't care about him at all, and so so much worse. I won't go into too much detail, but some people are using an absolutely horrible word to describe their little sexual experience near the end of that episode. Because of that, I wanted to write this to try and shed some light on how Braylen might be feeling. I say "might" because I don't know what Clare has planned for these two cuties, and I can't predict how Braylen is ACTUALLY feeling, but I can try to imagine. I've taken some creative liberties with things like Braylen's family situation and his thoughts between episodes, but I've tried to keep it to the canon as much as possible to make this letter seem as realistic as possible. I hope you all understand what I'm trying to say. I ramble a lot and I know that's not a good thing - this story is almost 5000 words because of my rambling and my inability to just shut up sometimes. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it if you do take the time to read this and I hope it gives you a little idea of where Braylen might be coming from and the reasons behind what he does. Thank you so much! I love you all!
