Alone Again

What do you do when your best friend has to leave you? When you have to spend a year apart, yet it's not a holiday, it's a job, and when they board that plane you can't be more aware of the fact they might never come back...

What if that person was also your brother? Your closest family, your role model for years, your rock through the car crash that killed your parents? If every, tiny ounce of your being was wanting to scream and beg them to stay, but you don't, because they want to go, and you won't be the one holding them back. Not any more.
