Kevin
Last night we received a relentless phone call at 2:30 a.m. My mom would not wake up and answer it, so I picked it up, knowing it was Kevin calling her. He told me it was a 100% emergency (Degrassi much?) and to wake her up so I went downstairs and handed her the phone. She was asking "where are you?" when I went back to bed. I heard her leave a few min. later.
This morning she came into my bathroom like nothing had happened so I asked her. She said Kevin got drunk and flipped over the car, crushing himself under it, so they had to break the back windshield to pull him out. And that was it. I asked if he got a DUI or his license revoked, but nothing. He got a few tickets. I guess he was alone when this happened. Since he is diabetic and cannot drink the alcohol made him blackout and that's why he flipped. He could have died or killed someone else on the freeway, but everyone's acting like nothing even happened. He looked fine when I opened the door for him, even though I can't really see with all that clothing on and I can't look him in the face. Now more than ever I can't make direct eye contact.
I'm so angry and frustrated. My dad is out of town and I'm not allowed to tell him until he gets back, when the both of us will be gone, because he's going to flip out. I've stopped emailing him because that's the only thing I would actually want to say. And Kyler knows nothing of course. He hasn't even asked where Kevin's car is. They're already looking at brand new ones to replace it. This is ridiculous. I'm not gonna be able to get a new car, but he's getting another one? He's not even gonna have to pay for the tickets since he's never had a job. If I did something like this my life would be over, but he gets nothing. When my dad gets home he will punish him. At first I was scared, worried, and sad, but now I'm pissed. I want to talk to his friends and find out the truth. They all know his condition and I just can't believe that they would let him get drunk. Someone had to egg him on a lot. They have to accept that he'll never be like him and they can't force him to try. I want to know if he's learned anything from this. Was he scared enough to never drink again or will he just never drink and drive? I want to talk to him but can't. It's been over 5 years since we've had a conversation. The last time must have been when Kyler was a baby and we fought over him. I wish he would see a therapist. I think he's under so much pressure that he doesn't know how to get relief. I know he won't talk to me but if he'd talk to someone I'd feel so much better. How much more of his life can he spend bottled up inside himself?
