I wish I could tell the whole world and make everyone understand, but I can't. I can't do anything except type it all up, and hope that it'll make sense to whoever reads it.
My brother is one of the five best people I've ever known. Sure, like everyone he can be an a**, but not as often as most. He went out with a girl last year named Hannah. My brother was good to that girl. He treated her like a princess. He talked to her and hugged her more than he did me. One night he wanted to go out with her, but my dad wouldn't let him, and he even cried over it. But then, she started scaring him and forcing him into situations that didn't make him comfortable, so he broke up with her. When he did this, he tried to make it known that he still wanted to be friends, and she said ok so it SHOULD have been done with. It's been about seven months now, and he has not had one day at school where he felt at peace, because of her. She told all sorts of lies about him, and since he's the new kid nobody seems to be on his side. Maddie told him that it'd be ok, it'd blow over, but it didn't. Maddie lied. Maddie betrayed my brother, and she betrayed me. I hate myself for ever trusting her, for ever thinking Hannah was a nice girl. They've destroyed him, they've hurt him so bad I don't know if Kel will ever be the same again. You know why? Because he broke up with a girl. A horrid, nasty girl. She says he did it because she wasn't pretty enough, because she had a skin virus, but if that had been it he wouldn't have dated her for five months. Nobody understands, and he's got no friends. Still, though, through these seven months he's done nothing to her. Nothing at all. He's been just ignoring them, even when they hurt him, but yesterday they just went to ******** far. Too far.
Hannah and her little group have been telling any girl who talks to Kel lies about him until they go away or stop talking to him. Well Little Nicky knew the truth, that Kel was a good guy, so he asked her out and she said yes. Maddie, who he, Nicky, and I all trusted, took it upon herself to fix this. She called Nicky's mother in Vermont and told her such lies about him that she forced Nicky to break up with him. MY brother. Kel Hawks. They seem to think they know him better in one year than I do in fifteen, well damn it they have another thing coming.
Revenge is pointless, it'll only hurt Kel in the end, but something has to happen and somehow I'll find a way to help him. I have to, because if this happened to me that's what he'd do. But this is something that we can prevent, can't we? If we just... maybe think about what we're doing, we can prevent good people from feeling this kind of pain, being hurt like this. If the world could just be a little more considerate and try to show a little more love, we wouldn't destroy ourselves.
