"When he left, the world stopped being colourful." /!\ READ DISCLAIMER BEFORE STARTING AND COMMENTING THE STORY First of all, thank you for clicking on that story and for, maybe, deciding to read my modest shortstory on how I lost my brother and best friend. This story was NOT written in an entertaining purpose. I talk about real life events that actually happened to me. I chose to blur out and ignore things that were too personal to me, and to him, but what is written in those pages is true. Please keep in mind that nothing of this was written for readers to enjoy. It was written for me to try to finally move on, and I share it in hope that I might manage to help whoever is or was in my situation. Thank you if you choose to stay with me for a few minutes of your life. I'd love for you to meet Matt. If you want to do so as well, then I invite you to turn the page. -GenComplete
