hey drew where are you man……trails off
why are you looking at me like that?..you know what they say don’t look at me like that or else I’ll eat your tamaritos…bro.
oh... Craig... am I bothering you?
You’re not bothering me bro…just asking where the hell you’ve been, that’s all.
Soooo where did you go and why are you taking pills like that and don’t tell me it’s just for your “anxiety”…you know damn well what I’m talking about.
Look I get that you have bad days and all, but this isn’t healthy at all. Do you wanna talk about it? I’m here to listen.
OK that’s all I need bro…hugs his brother tightly look I’ll always be here for you bro…you’re my little brother and I love you.
But I am better now.....inhales deeply... I just... See things differently now.exhales
gives his brother a pat on the head That’s good to hear bro…so where were you earlier? Did something happen?
Oh, nothing happened. Nothing happened to mom either.... She's fine now.
Wait she was acting strange when she left for work this morning! Are you telling me she’s fine now?!
Yeah, I think so. We never really knew... Mom always came home drunk though, so it didn't seem too unusual this time.
Damn bro….your mom scared me that morning…I hope she’s okay, but if she keeps acting like that it’s gonna be a problem.
I'll call her right now and check up on her okay? Okay?
Alright, I trust you bro. Call her and make sure she’s okay, alright? And if something’s wrong give me a call, I’ll help out however I can.
We should also call dad to check up on him... He has been stressed a lot lately. Craig... Could you help me call dad? Please? He really enjoys hearing both of us talk, makes him feel close to us even though he isn't here.
Yeah sure bro, let me grab my phone…hey what’s dad’s number? Oh shit how am I gonna remember that….oh wait! Craig pulls out his old phone and starts scrolling through his contacts Ah! Found it. Hold on bro, I’m gonna call him.
OK. I waited patiently as Craig made the call.
puts the phone on speaker Yo dad! It’s me, Craig! And your little man Drew here. How you doing?
Hey daddy! Daddy's my favorite person in the whole world! Smiles brightly
Ha ha thanks bro, I missed you guys. How’s everything going over there? Is everything okay?
