I guess simple isn't really a word that suits us huh.
He's still in Vermont. We don't really talk, after everything. We lost my mom and I dunno, from there it's like I forgot what I was supposed to be doing. What I should have been doing. ( she thinks to side-step it, but her mom isn't the reason she'd left the state, why she'd been told to leave, why she'd sought out the city. and keeping that one crucial bit of what splinters her hidden from him seems disingenuous, for all he's been honest with her about. )
I got into some bad shit. My brother, he started looking out for me when it should've been the other way around.
On night there was an accident. He didn't make it. ( and with that her breath catches, throat constricting in on itself — how long had it been since she'd lived this out loud? )
I think from there it was just too much for my dad to have me around. Too much of a reminder. That's when I came to the city.
