Chapter 103

Leighton

I’ve struggled with doing this for months, not sure if I should, but scared of what happens to me as a person if I don’t. It’s been almost a year since Brooks was put behind bars. A year since I’ve seen the person I once considered my best friend. This has been heavy on my heart though since I saw my dad on the side of the road.

I’ve missed him more than I can say. I don’t miss the Brooks who hit Trevor, I miss the brother I know, the one no one else got to see. He was kind to me, even when he was an asshole to others. He supported me going to Birmingham, and there were nights we’d talk about what we’d do if we ever got away from our Dad. That’s the Brooks I miss. When I see Trevor and Whitney together, I miss the relationship I had with him before everything went sour. Before my dad got hold of him and turned him into the person he is now.
