It's been nearly 7 years since everything happened

6 years and 6 months, if you want to be specific.

Other people stopped looking but I never did.

I still search your name up online every so often, hoping that maybe this time will be the time it works.

It never is.

I never knew what happened that night. Not really. Not for certain.

Kris was there, but I think they blocked a lot of it out.

They still swear that there was a tree out there in the woods, but I don't remember one.

I wonder if they still think about you, too.

You were always so close. Like the weird little sibling you always wanted. Not like me. Always so scared of everything.

Is that why you didn't tell me when you went out that night with them?

Did you think I'd be too scared? Were you trying to protect me?

Maybe one day I'll get to ask you.
