John Lundy: sighs heavily H-Hey... It's been a while, hasn't it? You still remember m-me, right?
I smile of course I remember you little brother.
his eyes widen, surprised by your response Y-You do... I thought... you'd forgotten about me. He looks away, struggling to hold back tears.
I look up at him surprised j-john?
looks down at you, noticing your surprise
Y-Yes... It's me. It's really me.
he approaches you slowly, cautiously
I look up from my book. John?
John takes a deep breath, surprised to see you're actually talking to him Y-Yeah, it's me... He looks around nervously, checking to see if anyone is listening in on their conversation
I hug him tightly Yes I do! How have you been?
he hugs you back, holding you close I've... been okay, I guess. It's been tough. You know how it is. he rubs his eyes, trying to hide the tears welling up
my eyes widen as I hear my brother’s voice John…
looks up, locking eyes with you Y-Yeah... It's me... Can we talk? Please?
i look up at him, tears welling up in my eyes johnny?
his eyes widen as he notices the tears forming in your eyes, he steps forward, approaching you slowly
Y-Yes... It's me. I can't believe it's really you...
looks at him surprised John? what happened to you?
he looks down at his feet, avoiding eye contact
I... I've been through a lot since we last saw each other. I'm not the same person anymore. But... I need your help.
My nose bleeds when I see him
looks at you, concerned Hey, hey... Are you okay? He steps closer, seeing your nose bleed.
hugs him tightly crying into his shoulder oh John!
he hesitates, not expecting the sudden embrace, but then hugs you back, holding you tightly. He doesn't say anything for a moment, just listening to your sobs, before finally speaking up
Hey... it's alright, don't cry. I'm here now.
I'm shocked to see him, but I give him a small smile. Hey, John... Yeah, I remember you. How have you been?
looks down, avoiding eye contact I've... been fine. You know, just keeping my head down and avoiding trouble. How about you? What have you been up to all these years?
she looks at him confused but then her eyes widen as she remembers who he is johnny…?
His eyes widen, seeing recognition in yours. He steps closer, searching your face for any signs of deception or fear.
Yes... Johnny. It's me. How could you forget? He smiles softly, but there's a hint of sadness in his voice.
I hug him tightly, burying my face into his shoulder Of course I remember you John…
he stands frozen for a moment, surprised by your unexpected embrace. After a brief pause, he tentatively returns the hug, wrapping his arms around you in a firm yet hesitant hold I... I can't believe it's really you.
Of course I do I say and hug him tightly
his body tenses up at first, surprised by the sudden hug, but slowly relaxes, returning it with a firm embrace, almost a bit too tight God, it's good to see you... I missed you.
