Pen Pals (EDITING,, READ DESCRIPTION)

Chapter 9

Tonys pov

It was a Friday, and my mail had come, it was safe to say I was exited to see is my letter had come, and didn't really care about the other junk mail I'd have received throughout the day.

This week had been tough, I was still just as sad as I had been before but I was bottling it up. Trying to force a smile for the people around me and get up in the morning because I knew I had to. I couldn't get in the routine of not doing anything again, but things where turning out that way even if I tried to prevent me going back to bad habits, which was turning out to be a hard task to conquer.

I was also going to bed a lot earlier, I had been much more tired lately, which was a sign of my depression hitting me again, but at least I was getting more sleep. I tried to tell myself that even if it was bad for me to be cooped up in bed for so long, it was good that I was actually getting that rest, because some people with depression have it the other way around.

None the less, I was still exited for my mail, it had come today and thankfully I had time to write and post one back, seeing as it's my last day off before going back to the studio to record some guitar parts to the new songs. It's taking a while though.

I went inside with my mail in hand. Jaime was staying at my house at the moment seeing as he had some problems in his kitchen with the electricity and other stuff. Long story short, he fucked the oven up big time and tripped the whole circuit out for the downstairs of his house, so now he's temporarily staying with me.

"What 'ya got there Tone?" He asked, walking into the front room.
"Mail." I replied back, sitting on the sofa across from him with Jodi's letter in hand along with various junk pieces and some bank statements.

"Hey, I swear fan mail is meant to get sent to the bands postage address?..." He said, or more like asked. I nodded, sighed, and reluctantly explained to him what it was, worried he would judge me for some silly reason. But he seemed to quite like the idea.

"Dude that's so cool! What's she like? How long have you been talking? Is sh-" I cut him off.

"I'll answer questions later, I want to read this and post one back before the end of today." I said, smiling at Jiame, grateful for his excitement and happiness towards me, instead of the judgement that some would have passed.

It read:

To Tony.

Your letters make me smile as well, I have been a bit down lately, sometimes things just get to me but I'm good for now.

Koalas are amazing! No one else seems to like them, but I'm gad I've found someone who does. And I will definitely watch 'Charlie The Unicorn' when I get the chance to. It probably won't be soon though, just to warn you.

Thank you for telling me more about the band, I don't mind them knowing about me, if they really want to know I guess.

My opinion on being in a band still hasn't changed, I really want to perform music at some point in my life, I also want to be a tattoo artist, and maybe release a comic, maybe. I don't have to chose yet though haha, I'm only young.

I can't believe you don't have a girlfriend! You seem like such a nice person and the image I have of you in my head is pretty good looking!! I don't want to come off a weirdo but you're just so nice !!

Schools shit to be honest, excuse my language but I'm not going to sugar coat it. I have no friends, I get dirty looks, called names, pointed at, stared at, everything. I wouldn't class it as bullying, I think people just think I'm weird because I never speak, and I'm shy. I sit at the back all the time and I have no friends, that's just not normal to them. I don't mind thought it gets a little lonely at times and it brings me down but I have Layla, and she's an amazing friend.
