Jasper and I landed in Jacksonville just after eight o’clock that night. I had tried calling the number that Kyle had left in his letter, but it had been disconnected. Jasper had talked me into getting a hotel room and going to the address on the envelope in the morning. We had the taxi driver take us through a drive thru for some burgers before dropping us off at the hotel.

“What do you think this is about?” Jasper asked with a mouthful of foam from his toothpaste.

“I have no idea, man.” I pulled the blankets back and took my shirt off before getting into the bed. I propped myself up against the headboard and looked back at Jasper.

“Did you know Jarren had a brother?”

“It’s news to me,” I shrugged.

“The guy seemed like such a loner. I remember Macie saying that he never talked to anyone in their classes until one day he showed up with some newfound confidence.” Jasper swished water in his mouth and spit it into the sink. He tugged his shirt over his head and wiped his mouth with it. I shook my head at him and chuckled.

“What? I’m going to wash it when we get back home,” he defended himself as he got into the bed on his side of the room.

“You think Jarren had already started hanging out with Jon and Daniel when he made an effort to get on Macie’s good side?” I asked him.

“Well, I definitely don’t think it was a coincidence.”

I nodded and placed my hands on the back of my head.

“Do you think he knows he’s dead?” Jasper asked quietly. When I didn’t answer, he rolled over to face my bed. “Nobody has found his body, and Jon and Daniel are locked up. Maybe his brother assumes he skipped town to avoid being taken down with his friends.”

“Maybe,” I sighed. Thinking about that night still made me sick with grief, but I would never regret it. I’d saved my best friend’s girl the only way I’d seen possible that night. “I think this letter from Kyle has something to do with Taylor’s personality change. And her ending our relationship. She got it a few days before she told me she couldn’t be with me anymore and she’s been detaching from her emotions ever since.”

“What exactly does he need help with? He doesn’t give you any kind of clue?”

“Nope. I get the feeling that Taylor knew what he was talking about. That’s why he didn’t specify: because he knew she would understand.” I scooted down to lay flat on my back.

“We’ll find out soon enough,” Jasper said through his yawn.

I nodded as I stared at the ceiling and thought about meeting the brother of the man I’d killed almost a year ago. The brother of the man responsible for the worst night of my life.

I spent that night tossing and turning while flashbacks of the night I buried Jarren in the bottom of a ravine just outside of Jacksonville haunted me. I was in the bathroom, dry-heaving into the toilet, when Jasper’s alarm went off.
