![]() Just because they did it, it doesn't erase the fact that they loved their family, that they needed help, they needed someone. I just see that there are so many people that still find suicide to be something selfishly done by someone. There are a lot of Connors out there thinking that their cry for help is painfully obvious, and that they cared about their loved ones even if they left this world. I kind of wished that the story gave more background on Connor and how he felt because that could help us understand what people like him go through. Evan tried expressing his feelings for Zoe by 'telling her what Connor said to him'-but what if Connor actually did feel as how Evan said? What if Connor actually really cared, watched over her, and wanted to express all those feelings.but had lost the chance to do so after taking his life? Imagine if this was included in the musical after "If I Could Tell Her". He was silently crying for help and yet they missed something this plain to see. No one even knew how he was already falling down, drowning in his own thoughts and in need of help from someone who cared about him. But he felt that it was painfully obvious, and it pained him to see that even though he thought it was obvious, no one saw through his real feelings. They never really got to say that they loved each other because it felt awkward for him, for them. It felt as if he found all of those things endearing for him, but never showed her he did. He saw how he drew stars on the cuff of her jeans and still answers those questions on those teen magazines and how she danced like the rest of the world wasn't there. It was as if he wanted to say that he really cared for his sister and didn't think he had to state the obvious (and as a teenage boy, probably felt embarrassed at the thought of talking about /feelings/).Įven if he didn't say or show it, he cared for his sister, always watching out for her. Honestly, when I first heard the song, I thought it was actually Connor singing to his sister (and not Evan 'telling her what he said').
