I play guitar, I like to read, I like movies way too much...

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Guitar's cool! what kind of movies?

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

All of 'em, really. If they're bad it's fun to rip them apart.

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Movie nights then?

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

Anytime.

[ he lifts a fist ]

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

[...fistbumps]

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Alright come on.

[ we're doing a hug. ]

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

[...oh okay.

He'll do clinging. And maybe crying a little. So maybe he's another girl.]

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Hey there now.

[ he holds him a bit tighter. ]

it's alright. welcome home.

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry dad. I'm so sorry...

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

it's alright. it's fine. don't say that, we'll be fine.

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

It's not. It's selfish. I should've come to you, you would've helped - or dad - or Andy - or D - or - it's not like I lacked addresses I just...I was so ashamed.

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Of what?

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

Of myself. Of how much I've failed.

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Who did you fail? why would you think you've failed?

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

I made such a big deal...of going to college. Of being out on my own for once, after what happened at Hogwarts...and when it happened again I just couldn't face you, couldn't deal with telling you how pathetic your son really is.

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

so what? you do your videos, you're funny. so don't go to college. that doesn't make anyone a failure.

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

I can handle the schoolwork. It's the people I'm terrible with. So what am I gonna do, hide at home for the rest of my life? Be that creepy loser who never moves out of his parents' basement?

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

No. you'll take it one step at a time. there are people you're comfortable with. moving to college is a bit thing. take it slow, kid.

[fallthru.livejournal.com]

I think I may have ruined it for myself.

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

Nah. if there's anything this place taught me? nothing's ruined. give it time. we're here for you.

Dad I...I had it really bad. I somehow always manage to make it really bad. I don't know how I'm doing it -- it's a talent, really. I go in just wanting to make some friends and have a good time and I end up with...

[charmseasily.livejournal.com]

we'll work on it. You me, your father, Autumn, we'll work on it but you -- have to calm down, ok? calm down, we'll be fine. trust your old man.

[He wipes at his eyes]

There's something I should tell you. Before...you'll find it in a nastier way.
