Bruno4292: Am I forgiven?
Casey212: Yeah, you are.
Bruno4292: I am really sorry. I didn't mean to upset you.
Casey212: It wasn't your fault. Overacting is a thing I tend to do.
Bruno4292: Even so, I am sorry.
Bruno4292: I just wanted to help you.
Casey212: You did in a way.
Casey212: I realised after that I havent ever really sat down and talked it out with my parents.
Casey212: All we ever did was argue.
Bruno4292: So what did you do?
Casey212: I sat my parents down and had a calm discussion.
Casey212: Well... as calm as I could manage without losing my temper.
Bruno4292: And?
Casey212: I don't know.
Casey212: Haven't really spoken to them since. Dad has been at work, and Mum is occupied.
Bruno4292: I hope they can change their attitude for you.
Casey212: Me too.
Bruno4292: What do your brothers and sister think about all of it?
Casey212: One of my brothers, James. He is the younger of the boys. Well, he lives in London.
Bruno4292: So he is no help?
Casey212: Exactly.
Casey212: My sister, Lilly, is living with her boyfriend; they are wrapped up in each other 24/7.
Bruno4292: And your other brother?
Casey212: Ryan thinks my dreams is pathetic.
Bruno4292: That's horrible.
Casey212: Ryan had high scores after school just like I did. Except he went and became a lawyer. He likes to rub it in my face how proud Mum and Dad are of him.
Bruno4292: Sounds like an asshole.
Bruno4292: And I know he is your brother but there is no nice way to put that.
Casey212: No, I don't disagree.
Bruno4292: You may not have your family on your side but you have me.
Casey212: Thanks, Henry.
Bruno4292: No problem.
Bruno4292: Now, before our small term of silence you promised me a piece of your writing. Do you have it for me?
Casey212: You really want to read some of my work?
Bruno4292: Absolutely.
Casey212: Fine.
Casey212: Here:
Casey212: 'The room somehow seemed bigger with only her bed in the room. A once empty void made it obvious that things had taken a turn for the worse. They only gave private rooms to patients who weren't long for this world. Family members needed privacy for their goodbyes. It was almost ridiculous having five chairs around her bed in such close quarters. With the other lady gone her bed could have been moved to the middle. The chairs spread around her evenly. It would give us more room...'
Casey212: It's an introduction paragraph so a short story I'm writing.
Bruno4292: I think its good. Not that I'm a judge who knows everything about writing, but I think you have some talent.
Casey212: Thank you.
Casey212: That's very kind of you.
Bruno4292: Is there more?
Casey212: Really?
Bruno4292:Yeah.
Bruno4292: I want to read the whole story.
Casey212: Fine.
Bruno4292: Yay!
Casey212: I'll email it to you.
Casey212: What's your email?
Bruno4292: HenryBruno @ hotmail.com
...
Casey212: Check your email.
Bruno4292:Got it.
Bruno4292: I let you know what I think next time.
Bruno4292: Take care.
Casey212: You too.
