When I was a Senior In High school, I met a boy in study hall. He was a Junior, smocked weed, wore a man bun and was so chill. The first time I've seen him he was sitting at his desk just chilling. I almost tripped and he started to giggle. I then looked at him and I thought he was so beautiful..so I sat across from him and we instantly became friends. Everytime I went to that class I looked forward seeing him. He made sure that I was never upset and if I was, he'd give me a hug and tell me it's ok. (I had boyfriend issues at the time and that person is now my ex)

We'd never do our work in class and we had to be separated a couple times because of it😂

So when it all came to an end. I graduated, he was gonna be a senior soon. I knew I'd miss him. So we kept in touch through Snapchat.

And almost every day last Summer, we would hangout. We even dated for a bit. I met his beautiful Mother, We'd walk in the park, we'd laugh too hard it would hurt, we played video games together and we hugged each other so much!

But then we lost touch...months went by and we haven't spoken to each other. I would wonder how he's doing.

Last month on May 4 he had gone missing. Everyone was so worried, because it wasn't like him to just go missing like that. I had prayed that he was ok...but I knew....I just knew😞💔

A few days later, he was found dead by the lake that I live by. Him and I went there to just look at the beautiful water. He loved that place so much..and he died there..he was about to graduate High School💔

No one knows what happened to him yet. His death is still under investigation. But in my gut, I know that he was murdered and it breaks my heart so much...all he wanted was a good time. He was the best thing that ever came into my life...his name was Brandon Viola. And I have a feeling that he was already an Angel when I met him

EDIT: thank you so much for the comments! It means a lot to me❤️

There are rumors that it was another student that killed him...and I know him...We were all in the same study hall together. But Unfortunately..This boys death is STILL under investigation.

I went to Brandon Viola's funeral... I was told that he was cremated so I thought (I'll be ok) but when I got there..he had an open casket...and I nearly threw up. He didn't even look like himself. He didn't feel soft as I remembered him. He had a stitch on the side of his head from being beat to death... but at least they made his hair all nice and put it in a man bun like he loved doing. I remember I'd always mess with him and take his man bun out just to mess with him😂❤️ I saw his mom walk in and try to look at him, 5 people were trying to hold her up but she was crying way too hard and she could barely stand💔 I was with my mom and she cried at the sight of that. it broke me all over again. so many young people were there for him. They all cried. And during the service, I sang a song for him. I nearly started crying halfway through singing it, but I made it through. About 30 seconds after I was finished singing I burst into tears. And hugged the nearest person by me. She then burst into tears and then everyone started crying. At the end of the funeral, 5 of my friends who were his friends too went to look at his face one last time. We held hands and talked about how great he was... we all started crying again and put a hand on Brandon's chest. We all told him how much we loved him.

A girl had said "we love you Brandon, we love you so much"

And another had said "fly high Brother"

And another "I wish this wasn't real, we'll never forget you, Brandon"

And my mom said "we love you Kiddo"

I cried all night that night.

His mom graduated for him! She walked the stage and everyone cheered so loud. She got his diploma and his graduation hat had a lot of notes on it like "congrats Brandon" And "Rest In Peace, you did it!"

I'm still grieving over all of this. I miss him

so much and I'll always love him. I know he's in a better place now but I really still wish he was here. I feel like I let him down. Like I wanted to stay his friend. But my boyfriend (at the time..ugh hes my ex now) wouldn't let me talk to him..and when Brandon had died, my ex literally asked "did you still have feelings for him? Is that why your upset?" .....Brandon was my friend, I loved him and I feel like I maybe could have stopped his death from happening if I wasn't with my ex. But all things happen for a reason. Maybe Brandon wasn't happy being alive. Maybe he was going through too much. All I know is...I love him so much and I'm so glad i met a man who loved him just as much as me and is grieving with me instead of questioning me.

Fly high Brandon. I love you 3000😞❤️
