It was hard for Jordan, especially those first few weeks.

He thought he was all alone, didn't even tell anyone that he'd witnessed the death.

I wish I could be there for him, but the barrier between the living and the dead is strong, even stronger than me.

But… I wasn't that strong.

I let them break me, let them tear me down. I tried to do everything they asked, and look where that got me.

I don't know why I kept trying. Mum and Dad never understood me, never saw who I truly was. They didn't think to look closer, didn't realise I was breaking.

Even Jordan didn't know, but I wish I didn't have to put him through so much pain.

Right now, he had to be strong.

Stronger than I tried to be.

Don't let them break you, too, Jordo.
