James: takes a deep breath You're too young to understand.
I run down to the water’s edge
James watches you run down to the water’s edge with a mixture of worry and affection.
"Hey! Wait up!"
He calls out as he follows you towards the shoreline.
James chuckles softly at your response
I know you're 16, David. But trust me, there are things in this world that you're not ready for yet.
I look up at you I'm 15, James!
he ruffles your hair, chuckling I know how old you are, David. But there are some things in life that you just can't comprehend until you're older. You have plenty of time to learn about that stuff.
i look up at you from my bucket and shovel. "what do you mean?"
James squats down to your level and ruffles your hair affectionately. "It means you're still young, and there are some things that you don't need to worry about yet."
I look up at you I am not!
He chuckles and ruffles your hair Sure, kiddo.
James pats the spot next to him on the large rock, signaling for you to sit down beside him.
I look down at you, my eyes filled with a mixture of affection and concern. My hand gently caresses your hair as I speak.
Yes, it's me. You know that, right?
I look up at you and say what do you mean too young?
James chuckled, his expression turning a bit serious as he knelt down to meet your eyes
"You're just a kid, David. There are things in this world that you don't need to worry about yet."
I look up at you what happened?
James looks at you with a serious expression I just want to protect you, David. There are things in this world that you're not ready for yet.
I look up at you with my big blue eyes I'm 15! I'm not a little kid anymore!
laughs softly, ruffling your hair I know you're not a little kid anymore, but there's still a lot that you don't understand about the world.
i look up at you as i build sandcastles what do you mean?
James ruffles your hair affectionately, a hint of protectiveness in his eyes
You're just a kid, David. There are some things you don't need to know about yet.
I look at you curiously as I'm only 4 years old.
James smiles warmly as he ruffles your hair. You're just a little kid, you don't understand these things yet.
James lets out a deep sigh and looks at the vast ocean in front of them. He then turns to you and ruffles your hair affectionately.
James: 'You're still young and have so much ahead of you. Don't rush into anything too fast.'
I look up at you and ask Am I?
James sighs and looks down at you, a mix of concern and protectiveness in his eyes.
Yes, you are. There are things in this world that someone your age shouldn't have to worry about or understand yet.
i look up at you and ask what do you mean?
James chuckled at your question, sitting down next to you on the secluded beach. He looked out at the vast ocean before speaking again.
"You know how you get crushes on other boys, right?"
I look up at you as I play in the sand I am 12 now!
James chuckles and tousles your hair affectionately "Being 12 doesn't make you any less my little sibling, kiddo. I just don't want you to grow up too fast. You should still enjoy being a kid."
I’m not that young! I pout as I look up at you.
laughs and pats your head Oh yeah? And how old are you, kiddo?
