Lily's death was horrifying for me, but Nate's death left me grievously scarred.
After a while, the doctors discharged mum and we went back home. When Frank heard the news, he said nothing. He only went into his room and didn't come out till the next day.
Mum and Alicia stayed in the living room, discussing and comforting each other while Eric took care of Kolin in Alicia's room. He decided to spend the night because he wanted to be a better husband.
I went to my room and locked the door. And that was when it dawned on me that my brother was dead.
I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling fan. Then tears began rolling out of my eyes and I found myself crying. I was shouting and rolling all over the place.
Even though at some point in my life, I hated Nate more than anything, I still loved him. He was my big brother who looked out for me. He was always there for me, even when he became distant from everyone.
