split hearts💔

Intro Ryans .story. Ryan used to be known for his laugh-sharp, contagious, that could pull a smile form anyone.But now? people dont even make eye contact with him.Its been 2 months since his brother Aaron OD. Aaron was 21 to old to be at home, to young to be gone. Everyone knew he had issues- Drugs, arrests, rehab. But Ryan believed he'd make it. Aaron had promised. He was clean... The last text-"you up?"-Ryan didnt answer-he was asleep. Aaron died alone in the bathroom. Now Ryan walks like a ghost, doesn't talk much, doesn't smile, doesn't cry. teachers avoid calling on him.Friends dont know what to say.No one says Aarons name anymore.Not even his parents. He carries it all in silence,But when hes sitting down at his brothers favorite spot, behind the school where he use to sneak smokes and talk about life.He spotted Nico coming up to him 😩 Nico/You Storys Nico is the kinda of kid who blends in- quiet, artistic, the type who always seems watching more than participating. Nico has a reputation for being "weird" but most people dont bother him. Hes got scars he doesn't talk about. Anxiety thats eats his mornings. And a complicated family situation that no one knows about. He didnt know Aaron well- just nodded at him a few times when they crossed paths. But Nico remembers people. And he remembers the way Aaron treated him like he mattered. Like a person. Even if it was just smirk and "stay werid kid." . Nico walks to the spot not expecting Ryan to be there, the place where he feels relived to let it out, but yet someones here. 😈 . . . . . (Ryan sits with his back against the cold brick wall, hoodie up. head down. Nico approaches, pausing when he sees him already there, He doesn't leave . . . Nico: I didnt think anyone else came here? . STARS I RAN OUT OF R-
