Intro. I always thought that real friendship was bulletproof. Like, you and the guy next door: same rides, same shit, same secrets. Jaden Williams was that guy for me. Since he was fifteen, a blood brother who did not come from the same womb. We swore allegiance over hot beer and video games crashing. "Bro Code to the end", we said laughing, as if it were universal law. At twenty-three, life had already slapped us, but we still laughed at the scars. I had Marina. He had the freedom he always had. And then came the day I discovered that freedom, for him, included fucking my girlfriend behind my back. Seven weeks of betrayal. Seven weeks of "brother" while he looked me in the eye and lied. Fuck the Bro Code. Fuck loyalty. Fuck Jaden Williams. Because when the code breaks, what is left is only revenge. And I'm not one to forgive.
