So why don't you?

Because I promise my dad I wouldn't.

Oh. Well. That sucks. *pouts*

Guess your stuck with people on the net. Therefore you're stuck talkin' to me. Shame. I somehow feel real bad for you.

He went through a lot this year, so I kind of owe him. I don't know.

Guess so. But school's started up again, so at least I can sleep during the day.

You sleep through school? Christ. Sounds like me.

Not really. I would, but then I'd get in trouble. Another promise to dad. No getting into trouble. Or anything else.

*grins* Sounds like you gotta be a good boy 24/7.

Not that being good is a bad thing. Not at all.

Pretty much. I guess I still have some free time when I sleep.

I'm just... whatever I am. Not good or bad. Careful. All the time now.

Kinda cuts into the dating thing and normal teenage activities, but yeah.

Careful is good though. Seriously.

I don't do normal anymore. I tried, it failed pretty miserably, the end.

And one chapter closes and another begins. *squints a bit*

All I gotta say is, girls are gonna get mighty pissed when they can't get a date with you *grins* Being honest.

Yeah. I guess that's how it works.

Uh... thanks?

Welcome. You'll be fine. Just gotta struggle through it and maybe your dad will be fine with things later on maybe.

I suppose the answer "then do something" isn't going to happen?

Nope. Not in casa de my house.

Well that has to suck. Why the doing nothing?

I promised my dad. He went through a lot because I couldn't chill out, and now... like I said, I promised.

What does he expect in the idea of doing nothing? Like grounded?

No, just... don't do anything that would be... not normal. I don't know. Don't draw attention to myself.

...

I think I would die. No, honestly.

Gee... thanks for making me feel better about my situation.

I'm sorry. I suck at the empathy thing. Let me try again.

I'm so sorry. I mean, how can you stand that when there's a whole world out there and... not helping, am I?

My Dad usually doesn't notice what I'm up to so long as there's no security.

No! Not really helping at all, thanks.

Security? Are you sure your dad isn't my dad?

I could suggest ways of causing hate and discontent from, if you like.

I don't think I have a brother. I'm pretty sure I'd have seen you around the hotel. You're not in Las Vegas, are you?

No. My dad's right, I do have to be good. It just sucks.

Vegas? I wish. I'm in some suburb of San Diego. I can't even remember its name.
