My brother means the absolute world to me, that goes without saying. I've watched him grow so much. We haven't always been best friends but we have grown closer. I'll never forget the first time he started talking about this girl. This girl soon became his girlfriend. This girl came over our house time and time again. This girl wasted nine months of my brother's life. I decided to take the time and write an open letter to the girl who broke his heart. If you ever stumble across this, just know that forgiving you isn't on my bucket list.
You were the first girl my brother ever brought home to meet the family. I knew you were special to him. He talked about you like you were his entire world. He put you on a pedestal. My brother truthfully saw you as an angel. I never asked much about the details of your relationship because I truthfully didn't care. I knew you made my brother happy. I appreciate you sticking by his side through the hard times.
I know there was a bit of an age difference so I gave you the benefit of the doubt on most occasions. The few times he came home in tears I went into Momma Bear mode. Eventually, I found out what you were doing and I told him to let you go. There was no reason for him to be hanging on to someone who hurt him so much. I don't know what possessed you to do what you did but it wasn't cool. I don't know how else to break it down. Lying, deceiving, cheating is wrong. No matter how you slice it, you were in the wrong.
I believe you strung him along for so long for all the benefits. For Christmas, he spoiled you rotten. Even on random occasions, he went out of his way to spend money on you. I don't think you ever gave him anything. Maybe there are things I don't know about. I've tried so hard to see you in a positive light. Even before you hurt him I just couldn't bring myself to do it. You had a bad attitude whenever we all hung out. Even my mother picked up on. Entitlement wasn't a good look for you. At the end of the day, it was a high school relationship that wasn't going to last forever.
Now for the straw that broke the camel's back. Cheating in any form is never right. You're old enough to know right from wrong. I don't care what excuse your mother feeds to us, you know right from wrong. My brother gave you his world. For some reason, you thought it was a good idea to cheat on him with some boy you were never going to see again. It completely destroyed my brother. He would cry for hours on end. There were nights where I lost sleep because he was crying so loud. It broke my heart to watch my baby brother suffer. He would've given you the entire world if you asked for it. Instead, you make a conscience and selfish decision that would leave a permentant mark on his heart.
You may not feel a thing but my brother is feeling it all. For me, the negative outweighs the good. I don't ever plan on forgiving you. He'd be a fool to get back together with you. For the benefit of my brother please don't ask him to hang out, sit with you on the bus or interact with you in any way. Thank you for giving my brother a lesson to learn from.
