I sat cross-legged in the RoR, just thinking.
This was stupid.
Go home, go home to where I was born, where I had family, with Claire and Matt, or stay here?
The more I thought about it, the more I had no idea what to do.
I could hear Matt in my head, There's always going to be a place for you back home, Chris.
I could hear Claire, It's like we've bonded, you know? More than me and Matt ever did. You're my shiny brother after all.
But then, I could hear Gid, Maybe it's time to just let go of everything else, settle down here. You can't say you haven't been thinking about it.
And Maddie, Because I love you.
This was stupid.
I wasn't getting anywhere.
Just going round and round in circles.
Home or here? Here or home?

I walked into the ror to have some quiet time when I saw Ian, he looked like a mess....I didn't know if he wanted to talk or not so I came in and sat down in the seat across from him.

"Hello," I say quietly.

I looked at him,"Hello? In that quiet tone? That doesn't sound like the Ian I know."

"Sorry," I mumble.

"That doesn't sound like Ian either....Ok I give, what's going on?"

"A lot." I mutter.

"Wanna talk about?" I ask

"Wanna listen?"

Post by Andromeda Black on Jul 1, 2007 13:25:30 GMT
I nodded my head,"I'll listen."

"I don't know if you know I was adopted, it's not something I tell people, I guess. But...it turns out I have a brother and a sister, and they want me to go home with them, in a compressed version of events."

I thought about what he said then opened my mouth,"I didn't know that. I must say you do have quite a predicament... Do you want to go with them?" I asked.

"Kind of. I feel almost like I fit in with them. But I want to stay here as well."

"I see...well ultimaltly the choice is up to you whether you stay or go. But I'm willing to give advice if you're willing to listen."

Post by Ian Hunt on Jul 1, 2007 13:43:09 GMT
"Yeah, advice would be good right about now."

"You have a home with these people that are your siblings, but who's to say that your feelings towards them won't change once you go live with them? It's hard to judge people now-a-days and you never know what will happen." I smiled,"You also have a home here, with Madeline...you know your feelings towards her already." I sighed,"The past is sentimental but the future is indefinate if you live your life based on your past you're not really living."

"That's why it's hard. I can't seem to let go, of the past and all."

"If you don't learn to let go, you'll never move on." I sighed,"Just think about what your future can hold with staying or leaving....I don't know anything about your family or the future there. I'll garantee you that here you'll always have a home, and friends that protect you."

"But here, I'll always have-...people who want me dead. If I went with them...Ontario is a long way away. I could have a new start, but I don't know if I want one."

"Anywhere you go someone will always want you dead. No offense." I slightly smile,"But if you leave, Madeline will be the one bound by the life you've left behind."

"None taken." I say, "I think Maddie would be better off without me around in all honesty. I've got her in-...a fair bit of trouble lately."

"I see. Well have you talked to her about you leaving?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Ian Hunt on Jul 1, 2007 14:26:56 GMT
"Not yet. She doesn't know they've asked me to go back with them. She only met Claire yesterday and she doesn't know Matt yet."

Post by Andromeda Black on Jul 1, 2007 14:33:50 GMT
"Well I suggest talking to her before you make any decisions. Who knows she might even come with you if you ask."

Post by Ian Hunt on Jul 1, 2007 14:36:37 GMT
"I wouldn't ask her to do that. She has a life here, it would be selfish."
|

Post by Andromeda Black on Jul 1, 2007 14:42:07 GMT
"I'm not saying ask her, she just might want to go...and on that note you also have a life here. She may take this as an excuse to leave her."
|

Post by Ian Hunt on Jul 1, 2007 14:44:32 GMT
"It's not like I want to leave her, because I don't. I've never really had a family, one that I like anyway, I don't know how much loyalty or whatever I'm supposed to show to them."

"I see, well if they can't accept the way you are then I would basically tell them to go skrew themselves. They maybe family but family can srew you over big time. Like I said talk to Madeline first and see what she has to say about it."

Post by Ian Hunt on Jul 1, 2007 14:56:10 GMT
"Okay."
|
|
|
|
Post by Andromeda Black on Jul 1, 2007 14:57:52 GMT
"Hope I was of some help." I smile,"If you still need advice after talking to her you can always find me around."
