December 19th - Nick's POV
Nick: Less thanks for making this drive up with me
Alessia: Of course, why wouldn't I
Nick: I don't know just we've been a bit distant recently I thought you wouldn't want to
Alessia: We've both been busy scheduling wise so it's been harder to hang out but I'm off till New Years and your out till mid January so it'll be a bit easier for now
Nick: Yeah
Alessia: So why we heading up to Edinburgh
Nick: Brothers birthday
Alessia: Thought'd they'd all passed
Nick: This one's special
Alessia: How come
Nick: I'll explain when we get there
Mortonhall Cemetery, Edinburgh
Alessia: So your brother
Nick: Would've been 12 this year, died before me or Dad could see him, the only one who saw him alive was Mum, he was 40 minutes old when the doctors called it
Alessia: Was today his Due day
Nick: Yeah, I've always felt a sense of guilt for never seeing him alive, for not getting there quick enough, but I've accepted that life is cruel when you want it to be happy and that you just need to keep smiling through the cruelness not let anything hold me back
Alessia: You know, your a brilliant human being
Nick: Yeah I like to think I am, sometimes it's harder to accept that though
Alessia: Well I'm gonna keep reminding you of that fact until you do accept it
Nick: Thank you Less
Alessia: Anytime
Nick: Less would you like to come home with me for New Years
Alessia: Yeah I'd like that
