I don't mean to pry but do you mind me asking who tony is.

My brother.

If Tony was here do you think this family crisis would turn out different?

They'd be as fucked up as ever. But they would pretend.

They can't be that bad can they.Maybe you should give your brother a call or maybe you should talk to a friend.

Actually, they can. They're mental. And Tony's at uni, being brilliant. I'm not going to bother him. And my friends... they can't sort out shit.

Well if that's the case you could always talk to me,but you sound like someone who wouldn't talk to someone when somethings bugging the,that's fine but please feel free to come and talk to me.

Thanks.

No need to thank me,my family may not be mental but,let's just say I was the daughter of two very rich parents so I know how it feels to have a family which isn't as normal as everyone else's.

Nothing's ever normal.

I guess that's just the way it is,we all deal with things in different ways.Some discuss and some go around punching walls.

Or fuck guys they hardly know.

I'm guessing that's something you do,because from my experience i haven't really come across myself or my friends fucking guys.They barely know.

Yeah. I fuck people I hate.

Why not with someone you like.It doesn't make any sense for you to sleep with people you can't really stand the sight of.

I'm backwards.

I hope your not referring to your sex positions.*Smiling gently to herself*
How rude of me i've been talking to you and haven't introduced myself yet.I'm Sarah Blake.

Effy?

Michelle?

What's the matter?

Just another lovely day in the Stonem household.

I'd offer an ear, but I don't suppose you'd want to discuss?

You know how mental they are. *sigh* Mum shagged one of dad's mates. Dad moved out.

... What?

*is used to that sort of thing, though*

Yeah.

Wouldn't have happened if Tony were here.

How can you be so sure of that? I know Tony liked to fuck around with your dad, specifically, but...

*shuts her eyes and sighs* It was fucked up when he was in hospital, too. And when he couldn't even fucking piss on his own. Stuff you never saw. Mum was a wreck. Dad was never there. But then he got better, and so did they.

Tony held it all together.

*looks a her guiltily now*

Because it's Tony.

I know.

I don't believe you don't miss him.

I... don't. I don't.

Right. Well he fucking misses you.

*unamused Effy is unamused*

What the fuck am I supposed to do, Effy? I"m here and he's there. I don't want to miss him.

You love him. He loves you. So for Christ's sake, just fucking believe me when I tell you something works out, for once.

It isn't going to work out. Not like this.

He gets better, and all that shit... he's not a wanker anymore, Chelle.

He deserves a fucking chance. And you do give it to him.

*silent for a moment* I don't know, Eff.

I'm not saying you should. I'm saying you will. Cassie's gonna go mental again, and Sid will go off after her, and it's you and Tony, like it's supposed to be.
