Behind the Scenes

36

the notes were given out a few days later by police

everyone was distraught
they couldn't process the fact that the happy joyful
boy they once knew was gone

they couldn't bare the fact that he would be there to hang with them anymore or be at school with them
or be the first one to wake them up in the morning because he was so excited for the day

they couldn't bare with the fact that he would be there to cheer at any more dance competitions

he just wouldn't be there anymore
he wouldn't be there to play soccer
or basketball
or post funny tiktoks with then
or post on instagram

the boy was gone
