Kapitel 40: Chapter 40: Alice’s POV

My brother had been found dead a few towns over, shot and left like nothing. All these years I had avoided visiting him out of fear but now I just wished I could've seen him one last time. Even after everything he was still my brother and I loved him unconditionally. I wanted to be able to tell him that, to laugh with him like we did as kids. I wanted to hold his hand and comfort him the way no one probably had since he went to prison. I looked at the photograph of us when we were children and smiled at the goofy grin on his young face. His hair was messy, covering his green eyes that back then were still filled with dreams and happiness. I closed my eyes, laying back and letting my head hit the pillow with the picture wrapped tightly in my arms. I hadn't cried until now, I had tried holding it all in but it was no use, murderer or not he was my brother.
