Erma - New Neighbor

Dead Man Walking.

Days became weeks, weeks became months, and months became years, everything went so fast, one minute i didn't had nothing, but one second later..... I had family.

Joan: Jeb Darling, how's your work today?

Jebediah: Pretty normal actually, there wasn't any problems, and there isn't a real threat on this city, so everything's fine.

Joan: Splendid, now, did you...

Jebediah: Mother.

Joan: I'm just askiiiiing~

Jebediah: Really?

Joan: Come on, don't hold any secrets.

Jebediah: I'm not.

Joan: I'm talking seriously here, when are you going to find a fine lady for yourself? You're such a young and handsome lad, might find yourself a partner as well.

Jebediah: Work doesn't give me much time, so i'm just living "normally". By the way, how's father?

Joan: Darwin's just stressed from all the papers, you know how he is, nothing he can't handle.

Jebediah: And you?

Joan: 'Sigh' Same, same, you know how working with papers makes you mentally stressed.

Jebediah: Yes, but it's better than being in the front of an army, that's a sure fact.

Joan: Correct, now darling, follow my advice okay?

Jebediah: ?

Joan: Life's not only marriage, girlfriends, dates, lovers, they come one way or the other, but life's about partners, friends, anyone that you can spend some time with, don't you think's better to spend the happy moments with someone than being alone and not having anyone to show how good the feeling of happiness is?

Jebediah: ....

Joan: So remember okay? You know how i am, i like to tease you, so don't mind me asking whether you have a girlfriend or not.

Jebediah: ..... 'Smile' Hmpf, excellent.

Joan: Now, try to have fun okay? You have a long life to follow for you to spent alone only, so try to find some good friends okay?

Jebediah: .... Ah-

Joan: Mr. Dock doesn't count.

Jebediah: Oh..... Ah-

Joan: And the guys from the Quarters doesn't count aswell.

Jebediah: ..... Then i don't have nothing to add.

Joan: Most excellent my child.

Jebediah: Bloody hell, i'm knackered.

Joan: SHIU! Language!

Jebediah: 'Chuckles' Good night for you too mother.

I kissed her cheek and went to sleep, but what she said really caught me, i started hanging around more, not exactly going out like a player or something, i just started talking more with other people.

Jebediah: 'Sip'

Man: 'Sigh' Carla, watch who you walk...

Jebediah: Your sister?

Man: My daughter.

Jebediah: Hmm, who's she's walking with?

Man: A stupid boy from her school.

Jebediah: Damn, bloody bastard.

Of course i was still the same serious guy, stoic or whatever way you want to add, it went like that until i was 24, i wasn't a young lad or child anymore, i was now an adult, but at least i didn't passed the same giant ice wall feeling i had.
