chapter 9; letter 8

50 4 0
                                    

As soon as I finished the letter,
I went over to the neighbors,
knocked on the door,

"Hey Justin," Josiah was at the door.

"Okay, so I'm guessing that you're The Staff-.."

What no, I just need to find Patrick.

Josiah chuckled, "I'm guessing you're on seven?"

"How do you know about the letters?"

"Hey, do you watch Netflix?"

I furrowed my brows, "Yeah why?"

"You heard of 13 Reasons Why?" He asked.

"No, but what does that have to do with this?"

"It's about a girl who takes her own life, a few weeks after her tragic death, a classmate finds a box on his porch. Inside the box are tapes, in which she explains 13 reasons why she chose to commit suicide."

"That kind of sounds like what Brandon did-.."

"It's about the same-.. except that Brandon wrote letters."

"This is hurting my brain, where's Patrick?" I asked.

"Right, you were going to slap him."

"He's in his room, just past the loud music."

"Thanks," I said passing him, I made it passed the music with the loud music.

I opened the door and found Patrick asleep in bed.

I got into the bed, and my movement woke him up.

"Baby come back to bed," he quietly said.

That's when I slapped him.

His hand rushed to his face and held onto his cheek.

"What the fuck was that for!?"

I walked out of the house and straight to my room.

Hey Miles,

I'm sorry

I'm sooorry
I'm soooorry
I'm so sorry

I'm sorry for not being there
For leaving you behind

I'm sorry but it's just really hard for me to do this

I miss you so much
I miss you so so much

See you soon,
Brandon Clark

Again I flipped it over,
but this time there was nothing,
not a list on the back.
