ANTHONY:
alls good here on my end
ANTHONY:
not sure if liz mentioned rob is
throwing a party and everyone
wants you to come?

JANUARY:
oh right yeah she did mention it

ANTHONY:
you gonna come?

JANUARY:
not entirely sure if im being
honest, kinda dont want to see
my sister

ANTHONY:
heard you guys had an argument?

JANUARY:
yeah im pretty pissed at her

ANTHONY:
that bad huh?

JANUARY:
im so done with her shit mackie
JANUARY:
its like she always needs to have a
say in whatever i do

ANTHONY:
let me guess she had a go at you
because of the date with chris

JANUARY:
how'd you know?

ANTHONY:
before you guys had the argument
she seemed pretty annoyed about it
on the gc

JANUARY:
wow
JANUARY:
yeah well she blew up on me so i hit
her with a load of truths

ANTHONY:
sounds like you, and clearly
she didn't take too well to it

JANUARY:
no she didn't, she never does

ANTHONY:
how are you feeling now?

JANUARY:
i have so many emotions surrounding
her you know? i love her, she's my
sister after all but sometimes i think
it would've just been better if we hadn't
reconnected

ANTHONY:
woah hey why are you feeling like
that?

JANUARY:
she knows how hard it was growing
up, for both of us, we rarely saw
each other and when we did it was
just awkward
JANUARY:
i just, sometimes i feel like she
doesn't even like me

ANTHONY:
shut your mouth january don't ever
say that again
ANTHONY:
of course she likes you, she LOVES
you, you're her little sister

JANUARY:
then why is she so cold to me? why
does she never make an effort? i
don't understand what i've done wrong

ANTHONY:
awh jan baby you've done
absolutely nothing wrong
ANTHONY:
me of all people i know how hard
you've tried to connect with her

JANUARY:
just feels like wasted efforts

ANTHONY:
it's not and don't you dare give up
ANTHONY:
your sister is a complicated person and
she's dealt with a lot of shit just like you
but that doesn't mean shes not trying

JANUARY:
if i don't call she wont, if i don't text she
wont
JANUARY:
i end up just having to text sebastian
for updates

ANTHONY:
look family has always been a touchy
subject with nova and it always will be
ANTHONY:
shes always been alone since your
parents split, they paid no attention to
the two of you so she learnt to adapt
to being on her own
ANTHONY:
you know it took her months to
realise that liz and i weren't going
anywhere? she was so adamant on
staying on her own and not being friends
with us

JANUARY:
is that why she pushes me away?
because she's grown up never having
anyone beside her?

ANTHONY:
i think thats the reason jan

JANUARY:
why cant she talk to me then

ANTHONY:
you know what she's like, you gotta
push it out of her

JANUARY:
i- okay
JANUARY:
i gotta go i'll see you at the party, maybe

ANTHONY:
take care jan
