• Since the topic of this paper is the person I look up to the most, only one person comes to my mind.
    My friend Breaden. I may not know him personally, but in the short time that I’ve known him he’s become a brother to me.
    When I met him about a year ago it was a chance encounter, a random friend request I was originally going to ignore. But now I couldn’t be happier that I accepted it. At first we would just go back and forth with game characters. Then eventually we started to talk more and role play different Resident Evil characters. A few months later he started to get on less until he was gone for a long time and I got worried. I would ask my friends that knew him if they’ve heard from him and the reply was always “No.”
    Seeing this it hurt a lot, because yeah, I didn’t know that well yet, but I’m more willing to admit this now than I was at first. I did like him.
    And just when I was about to give up, I saw he was on, I made myself not get to excited because the site has screwed up before and said someone was on when they really weren’t. So sent him a message and when I got a reply back I honestly started to cry because he had been gone for so long and was finally back.
    And when a loved one and I had got into a disagreement, he was there for me. He tried to talk me out of the relation and I should have listened. Everything he said that I doubted was true. He never even knew him, but just by what I had said and by how much it bothered me when he wouldn’t get on or not reply to me for hours, he knew I shouldn’t be with him anymore.
    But I was ignorant and thought he was wrong. I couldn’t see how much Colt was hurting me. In my mind, the sleepless nights and tears were normal. After awhile it got so bad to where I would sit outside in the poring rain in shorts and a tank top just to feel something because I’ve lost most feeling in my hands, arms, and legs from various sports. When ever Colt wasn’t there, Breaden was. Even if I wouldn’t say much, it was nice knowing someone cared.
    And even now, when I get on and see he’s off there is a bit of sadness that I get because I just might still like him, or its from having talked to him so much to where he’s become like family to me.
