Advice To My Younger Brother

My younger brother is six years younger than me, but not any less of a friend to me. I vividly remember when he was being born. It was the middle of the night and my parents came to my bedroom door, telling me that Grandma and Grandpa were coming over because my little brother was being born.

In some ways, loving you has set me free by showing me how to care so deeply about someone else. It has showed me how much one person can care for another. But in some ways, it doesn’t set you free. I haven’t told you how I feel, I can’t tell you. It’s truly like being stuck and feel like you can’t move without making a wrong choice. If I don’t tell you, you’ll never know and I will never know if you have the chance to feel the same. If I tell you, everything can change. What if I didn’t have you in my life?

These are just some of the questions that bombarded me when I was finally able to tell my closest friends what had happened a few days prior. After I told them that a man had held me down and raped me. My story begins with my friend, let’s call her Vicky, and I driving around looking for something to do.
