[F-LOCKED] Fear.
I know it would be very wrong of me to ask my brother to refrain from leaving the house, especially as I know he is capable of handling physical confrontations, but what if this is just the beginning of things? What if the next time, it is someone waiting at his car with a gun? Or worse?
Have I been so sheltered in my world that I have simply been lucky that this has never been an issue? I have lived in such a welcoming, forgiving and loving portion of society that I have perhaps skewed my beliefs that the entire world is such a place.
It is not.
The thought of something happening to Jake because he is, in fact, Jake (with all that entails) is extremely unsettling to me. I'm very upset about this.
