I can’t believe this… I can’t believe my parents… Ryan has been trying to contact me all along through letters and my parents had been shredding them! And they’d throw away any gifts he sent me! I only found out about this because I wanted to be nice and went to get the mail before mom and dad got up and while I was going through it, I saw a letter for me from Ryan! I can’t believe it… all this time… I thought he hated us… hated me… when he was trying to get in touch with me… that’s it! I’m going to have to get in contact with him as soon as I can! I’m not gonna let my parents dictate whether I can see my own brother or not!

Okay, I need a plan… I was going to send Ryan a letter, but I realized I don’t know his address… I threw the letter away and I can’t text him since I still don’t have a phone… and even then, I still don’t know his number… maybe Jasper and Noori can help… I’ll ask them about it when I can get a chance to.

Thank God for best friends. I told Jasper and Noori about what was happening and they agreed to help right away. They already knew his email and phone number, and they told me they’d ask for his address. They also said they’d ask him to send any letters and gifts for me to them so my parents wouldn’t get a hold of them first. I hope mom and dad don’t find out about this… actually, ya know what? I hope they do find out about this! That way I can tell them off about it! I deserve to see my older brother!
