Hey Liv,
Sorry that I haven't had the chance to write recently. Things have been so freakin' crazy lately. This time of year is always hard for Mom and Dad. Oh wait - that reminds me! Happy death-aversary! Four years went by so fast! Damn, that looks WAY more morbid than I meant it to be.
So, like I was saying - Mom and Dad are being lame and choosing to stay in the dark house all day, sharing memories of you and other gross, sentimental crap. Nate is out somewhere. He's probably chopping wood, like always. Nate still blames himself, ya know? Today's hard for him too. That leaves me: Alexander R. Briggs - 15 year old extraordinaire, boy wonder, and recent twin-ower. Is that a word? Like widower? Ah, never mind. Anyways, I had to pick up the slack and actually do something fun today! After the hardest hike of my life that lasted 30 days and 30 nights, I made it to our swing. Let me tell ya Liv, I almost died (is it rude to say that to a dead person?). There was this rabid squirrel and...well I won't bog you down with the details of this legendary, unforgettable hike through our backyard. I'll save that for another letter.
It's pretty nice, just sitting here and watching the rest of the world turn. Remember when we were kids and we would play on this swing for hours? Everything was so much easier back then. Even Nate would hang out with us! He wasn't always this weird, over-protective, adult he is now. Oh yeah! That's what I wanted to talk about. To be honest Liv, I know it's your special day and everything, but I gotta vent! Incoming rant in 3...2...1...
Nate and I have been really butting heads lately. It's just weird that he always tells me I'm wrong, since I'm perfection in human form. So, there was this one time last week. I was climbing this GIANT oak. I was convinced it could take me above the canopy. You would have loved it! But Nate didn't. Yeah, you know where this is going. He was chopping wood, or some boring adult thing like that, and saw me reaching for the stars and following my dreams. Naturally, he freaked out and screamed at me to come down. It's weird.I haven't seen Nate that angry for years. Usually, he's classic broody/pouty. But this epic climb really brought out his bad side. Now, I know exactly what you would say in that situation, Liv. You would tell him to relax. Tell him that it wasn't his fault that you fell. Nate was always a slow poke at climbing anyway. I know you would tell him that it was an accident, and he can't let it ruin the rest of his life. I know you would have said all that. But, you always were the calmer one. I, Alexander R. Briggs, thought the better plan was to throw sticks at him. Before you ask - yes, I did beam him in the face. Yes, he did threaten to throw one of his precious axes at me. Yes, it was hilarious. Look, I know it was wrong and I give Nate too much crap. But it's time for him to move on. I know you would have wanted him to.
Besides, Nate's not all bad. He scared off some kids who were throwing some punches at me the other day at school. Wait! Before you freak out, let me clarify that last statement. I'm not bullied, I swear! They were just looking for trouble, and my dumb, loud mouth walked me right into that trouble. So, Nate came and broke it up. He didn't even tell Mom and Dad about it! Even when the bros fight, he has my back. So, that was pretty cool.
Oh - guess what I learned today? When Nate's not off being a pouty brooder, he's actually quite charming. Well, accidentally charming. There's no way I could ever picture him flirting... He's got nothing on yours truly. That being said, you won't believe what I found in his room yesterday! No, I wasn't snooping...I was...looking for a...shirt. Yeah, let's go with that. Anyways, I'm just going to stick this note in the letter. This is "literally perfection". I hope you laugh as much as I did! And now, without further ado, I present Nathan Brigg's "Literally" Biggest Secret Admirer.
Hi Nathan,
I know this is cliche. But I had to tell you this before we graduate. You are literally perfection. I feel like you're completely oblivious to the fact that all the girls in class have had giant crushes on you for years. And you look hotter every day. Those dark, smoky eyes of yours hide so much pain, but they always have a hint of humor. Your messy brown hair is always styled perfectly. Seriously, how do you do that? I adore that scar on your eyebrow. Your body is ungh. Six feet tall, and muscular from head to toe. The girls at school say that you do nothing after school but chop wood. If you do that shirtless, I bet you could charge people to come. But the best part of you, is definitely your smile. I know you don't smile a lot, but it is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen. Your dimples and eyebrow raises are to die for. You literally make every girl's day when you flash one of those cute grins at them.
I don't think you realize how unbelievably cute you are. I don't know why you're always ignoring our affection. You should be confident! You're hot, Nathan Briggs. Half the school is in love with you. And literally I'm in love with you. Talk to us girls, you never know when you're going to find the one.

Isn't that just gross? No, I'm not talking about the fact that he goes by Nathan now (which is gross). I'm talking about that "literally" graphic letter. I really hope this doesn't go to his head. But knowing Nate, he'll ignore it. He's always so focused on one task at a time. I doubt he even remembers this note. I'm sure he won't mind that I borrowed it. It's kind of weird to think that all the girls in our school are into my brother. Do you think whoever wrote the letter made that up? Do you think she's right? Maybe the school is into the Briggs. Luckily, I'm Alexander R. Briggs - the best looking and most talented Briggs around (no offense, but you don't count anymore). How can one resist?
Actually, come to think of it, Nate has been hanging out a lot with this older girl in the woods. I saw them once, while I was climbing. She looked like she was 19 or 20. Really pretty. Blonde hair in a single braid, kinda shy looking. I guess I could ask Nate about it...we're overdue for a good chat.
Well, the sky's getting dark. I should probably find Nate. I gotta give him crap for that body...UNGH. Hope the afterlife is treating you well. Don't make too much trouble! God has to like the Briggs enough to allow me into Heaven. Once I'm there, we'll wreck shit up. Just like the good old times.
Miss ya sis,
Alex
