Kim held his hand tightly as they walked down the street toward the cemetary. She knew that he would understand that she had to move on. She just hoped that he would understand it was with his brother. When Andrew died the only person she could turn to was his little brother, Nate. The closer Nate and Kim got to the cemetary, the more the memories became clear... She remembered the first time she had met him....

"Come on Kim! You have to do it. You picked his name so you gotta go in the closet for 3 minutes. We'll open the door when times up and see if you two...get along," Moira said, giggling.
"FINE!" Kim grabbed Andrews hand and pulled him into the closet. Andrew smiled all over. He had watched her walk in the room and his knees almost gave out. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He watched her silently from across the room, and when he caught her eyes he would smile and she would smile back.
When the game had been announced he had hoped upon hope that she would draw his name. And she did.
For a minute they talked akwardly. Kim knew time was running out and couldnt wait to be out of the closet. She could feel the tension building in the tiny space that enclosed them. She didn't notice Andrew inch toward her until she could feel his breath mixing with her own. She looked into his steel blue eyes as they moved closer. As his neared hers she closed he eyes. Their lips met.

Kim could see the head stone now. It read the dates 1980-1999. He had only been 19 when he died. She had been 18, born only a few months later. As she looked to the dying flowers placed at the base of the stone, pictures of his death flashed through her mind...

Moira was driving home. Kim had only had one beer but Moira didnt fool around with alcohal and insisted on driving home. It was 3 in the morning and Andrew was asleep in the back, his head right next to the back seat door on the drivers side. We had been on a double date and Moira's date had flaked out on them. Kim was talking to Moira and said something stupid. Moira turned ot her, laughing and punched her lightly on the arm. Kim pretended like it had hurt terribly, fake crying and holding her arm. Moira's eyes teared from the laughing and she didnt see the car coming towards the intersection they were approaching. As she reached the intersection, the car plowed into them...on the drivers side.
Andrew had died instantly, Moira had a concusion, a broken arm, and crakced ribs. Kim was left untouched. The next day they found out that the other driver was drunk and stoned, driving 30 miles over the speed limit. He had suffered a mild head injury and a broken collar bone. The last time she had seen Andrew, he was covered in blood.

Kim cryed as she put down the flowers she brought, picking up the dead ones and placing them in a near by trash can. She sat down in front of the head stone and began to talk to Andrew. Nate stood behind her, silent and respectful.
"Hey Andrew. I miss you so much and i need to confess something to you." She choked back a sob. "Nate and I are engaged. He proposed on New Years Eve. You know how he was there for me when you died and i know you will understand that it was him that kept me going after the funeral. He kept me alive."
She kissed the simple lettering of his name and stood up. She burst into tears, holding onto Nate for support as he stared blankly at his brothers grave, a tear in the corner of his eye.
