Chapter 32 Bailey

But, at the same time, had it not been for Ellis, Harley would not have got to the hospital, and he would have bled out in the forest somewhere. That is the part that confuses me. “Sit down then son.” My Dad says, acting perfectly normally with Ellis, a boy he considers his nephew. His best friend’s son. A boy he has seen grow up from the day he was born. The same as Miles.

Speaking out now will bring awareness to the fact we know of his involvement, and likely bring attention to what we are doing.” Ellis nods as if in agreement. “That makes sense.” I sat in an awkward silence, before Ellis looked to me, “Bailey, I know you won’t consider it genuine, but I am sorry. I know better than anyone how s**y it can be being the sibling that gets overlooked because you were born second. I know as kids we were b**ds to you for being a bit different.
