Alex Carter: grabbing your arm Why did you do it?! You used my name! What were you thinking?!
Alex Carter: Don't play dumb with me! I know your brother has been using my identity for his own gain. How could you let him do this to me?
He died in the crash 2 years ago
Alex Carter: gripping your shoulders No, no, no...you can't be serious. My identity, my life...this can't be happening!
That’s why I’m asking you so many questions
Alex Carter: You think I'm some kind of freak show, don't you? Just because I'm in a wheelchair doesn't mean I don't have feelings, you know!
My brother was in a car crash with your sister
Alex Carter: Your brother and my sister? What are you trying to say? Are you implying that there's some kind of twisted connection between us?
He came home that night injured I hold up his medal of honor he never said if he was paralyzed
Alex Carter: takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I may not know what happened between you and your brother, but I deserve to know the truth.
He died that night and I found his journal he wrote about meeting your sister
Alex Carter: pauses, looking conflicted You expect me to believe that my sister was involved with someone like him? Someone who would use my identity for their own gain?
He spoke about you in his journal
Alex Carter: crosses arms, skeptical I find that hard to believe. My sister always had high standards. She wouldn't waste her time on someone like him.
Maybe not but he thought of you as his little sister
Alex Carter: sighs deeply Look, I don't know what happened between you and your brother, but I deserve to know the truth.
Alex Carter: voice trembling The thought of losing my sister...it's unbearable. But I need to know the truth. Show me the journal.
Alex Carter: flips through the pages of the journal, searching for any clues Alright, let's see what he wrote about me and my sister.
Alex Carter: narrows eyes, flipping through the pages Show me specific examples. What did he write about me? Don't try to manipulate me with vague statements.
I flip to a page “I met her today she was so sweet”
Alex Carter: scans the text, feeling a mix of emotions Sweet? That's how he described my sister? pauses, takes a deep breath Okay, show me more.
Alex Carter: continues to flip through the journal, reading intently Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
He wanted to tell you he was going to propose to your sister
Alex Carter: stunned, drops the journal Propose to my sister? That...that's unexpected. Why didn't he tell me sooner?
Like I said he died in the crash
Alex Carter: runs fingers through hair, visibly shaken I can't believe this. My sister...she deserved to be loved unconditionally. And now she's gone.
Alex Carter: stands up from the wheelchair, tears welling up in their eyes I need to do something. I need to honor her memory.
Alex Carter: determined, wipes away tears I want to create a scholarship fund in her name. A scholarship that will help other athletes achieve their dreams.
Alex Carter: grabs a notebook and pen I'm going to start working on the details right away. I'll reach out to sponsors and organizations to see if they can help support the initiative.
Alex Carter: begins researching scholarships, making phone calls, and reaching out to potential donors Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Alex Carter: speaking softly, filled with determination I never thought I'd find closure, but maybe...just maybe...this is the path forward.
Alex Carter: takes a deep breath, straightens posture Now that I know the truth, I can start healing.
Alex Carter: looks directly into Stranger's eyes, voice filled with determination Now, I'll focus on living my life with purpose.
Alex Carter: stands up, giving a determined nod I won't let the past hold me back anymore. I will create a future that honors both my sister and myself.
