I called my mother today. I spent about an hour talking to her. She cried and everything, but my brother Vicky was right. She wasn't angry. Well...not with me. Which was what I was so afraid of. I don't know why. I told her I'd see her soon, but I'm not ready yet. She understood that too. I think she knew it was because I don't want her to

No reason why anyone should be mad at you, Autumn. You're not the one who did bad things. And the bad things are over now. I'm sure that's a huge relief for your mum. She does sound like she's good at what she does.

We'll keep the good things happening for you. There's nothing to stop that now :)

Well I wanted to do something she wouldn't like. And I kept my family at a distance. I lied to them. Told them I was too busy to see them, but I wasn't. I was just embarrassed. So I did do some bad things. But I didn't want to do them.

Thank you.

I guess we all go through that time in our lives, when we want to do something our parents wouldn't be into. I've done bad things, and I know I disappointed my parents. They didn't know till after. I spilt my guts about it all, and I'm glad I did. They helped me get through the shite. It's been nearly two years since then, and without wanting to put myself on a pedestal, I feel like I've really got myself together. I have a good home, with good friends, a decent job, a promising career with a great band, and even more good friends, and I've got my flying. And I've had you come into my life. It's all good. There's a lot of good to go round.

Maybe sometime you'll tell me about that?

Will you take me flying, Timothy?

[chase_dragons]

I could do that. I haven't talked about it for a long time, but with you... yeah. I could do that. Just... always bearing in mind that it was a long time ago, and I'm sure as hell never going back...

I'd love to take you flying, Autumn. Absolutely. Once springtime hits and we can take the Firemoth up again, it'll be my absolute pleasure.

[a_battered_rose]

Well I'm never going back either. So I know how that goes. I trust you, Timothy. I do.

I can't wait! It would be so incredible...or it is in my imagination!

[chase_dragons]

I trust you too, Autumn. I really do.

It's not just your imagination :) Flying is the most freedom I've ever experienced. If you ever need a reminder that anything's possible, I reckon the sky is where you can find it.

[a_battered_rose]

Good!

I think that'd be a good freedom to find...

It wouldn't be an overstatement at all to say that it changed my life.

[a_battered_rose]

It wouldn't be an overstatement at all to say you changed mine.

[chase_dragons]

Well sweetheart, that's certainly mutual :) I'm glad to have made a change for the better.
