I laughed as Nate told me about a store clerk kicking him out of the store because he was wearing a trench coat and what Jason thought of the situation. I sighed. Jason just got back from college today and, well, I didn't get to even see him because of what happened. Nate then suggested we watch a movie and I agreed. We spread out on my bed as Legion started playing. About 15 minutes into the movie, I got up to use the bathroom. On my way down the hall I heard sniffling and that's when I finally realized that I'm not the only person affected by my dad's death. I opened the door, which revealed Justin lying on his bed, face down, crying. I walked across the room and laid down next to him on his bed and just sat there. That's also when I realized that I still had a lot more to let out and I began to sob. After about 10 minutes of this, Justin sat up, as did I.
"Hey." he said softly.
"Hey." I said and did the unexpected. I crawled closer to him and gave him a hug as I began to cry on his shoulder.
"I'm going to miss him Justin." I sobbed.
"We all are Lex." he replied, crying, as he rubbed my back soothingly.
"But Justin. I'm the reason he's dead."
At this point, he pushed my head of his shoulder and grabbed me tightly, forcing me to look up at him.
"Listen to me. You are NOT the reason he's dead. Don't you ever say that again OK?" he yelled.
I simply nodded, taken aback by the sudden fierceness that I didn't know my brother even possessed. We cried together the rest of the night and I woke up curled up at the bottom of his bed while he was curled up at the top. Then I saw Max on the floor and I remembered when he came in last night and we all cried together. I then softly giggled because that means that Max fell of the bed. Typical.
