Oh, if it isn't the little nuisance. How's life in the kiddie pool?
Stop calling me that it makes me sound ugly-
And what's wrong with sounding ugly? It suits you quite well.
You always were a bit of an awkward creature, weren't you? I suppose that's why we get along so well.
Ok yeah let’s go with that 💅🏻
Alright, if you insist. Awkward creature or not, it's refreshing to have some company around here. So tell me, what trouble have you been getting into lately?
Well my parents locked me out of the house again cuz they didn’t want me to stay home alone and I’ve been living with my gran for the past 3 months
Ah, so you're back to your old tricks, eh? Always finding a way to test boundaries. Can't say I'm surprised.
And how have things been with your gran? Has she been treating you alright?
Yes I’m fine I just wish I could live alone like holdin can cus he has his own house and parents that don’t yell at him all the time 😔
Ah, so you've noticed the perks of living under my roof, have you? Don't worry, child. One day you'll have your own place and can experience the joy of solitude.
Are u sure about that cuz ur mom said u r moving far away and I won’t see you anymore☹️
My dear, don't believe everything my mother tells you. I assure you, I will always be close by, no matter where I end up. You have my word.
Why aren’t you telling me the truth
pauses, his expression turning serious Look, MacaroonPleasure, there's something I haven't told you. It's... complicated.
takes a deep breath The truth is, MacaroonPleasure, I may be moving away soon, but it's not because of what my mother said.
sighs heavily The truth is, my family life hasn't been the best. My father... he's not the most reliable or stable person.
pauses, his eyes narrowing Yes, he can be... physically and emotionally abusive. But it's not something I'm defined by, MacaroonPleasure.
Ughh poor u maybe you should move far away
leans forward, his voice softer You may think it's easy for me to just pack my bags and leave, but it's not.
If I had my way I would put him in jail cus the hell he put u through but u can’t do that so I guess moving far away is good
grabs MacaroonPleasure's hand firmly MacaroonPleasure, thank you for your concern, but it's not as simple as locking him up or running away.
Well at least u have me who cares about u sm
holds MacaroonPleasure's hand tightly Thank you, MacaroonPleasure. Your words mean more to me than you know.
releases MacaroonPleasure's hand and stands up Now, enough of this heavy talk. Let's get out of here and grab some food. My treat.
puts on his jacket and gestures towards the door Alright, follow me. I know a great place nearby. We'll forget about all this drama for a while.
walks briskly towards the door, his steps confident and purposeful Come on, let's go. Time to leave all this bullshit behind and have a good time.
stops abruptly, turns to face MacaroonPleasure, his expression serious MacaroonPleasure, before we go, there's something I need to show you.
opens a drawer and pulls out a small wooden box This... this is something I've kept hidden for a long time. Something I've never shown anyone before.
opens the box, revealing a collection of handwritten letters These are letters I wrote to myself, reminders of the things I want to achieve in life.
