Pen Pals (EDITING,, READ DESCRIPTION)

*Chapter 18

Tony's pov

I woke up, wrapped in my sheets, yawned and rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out of them.

What happens today?... I thought, mail day! I thought, all of a sudden I had an urge to get up and check the mail, but then, as soon as I climbed out of bed I realised something- the mail man comes at 12pm. I then fell back into my bed, wrapped my self back into my sheets and tried to sleep again.

I tried this for a while, until about 10am which was around a half hour of trying to sleep again. I then clambered out of bed and went downstairs.

Jaime had gone back to his house two days ago, thankfully he can trust me now, but he still comes over a lot.

I went into the kitchen, I have to eat something... I searched the cupboards, the fridge, the kitchen table but I couldn't find anything appetising to me. I guess I can skip one meal, right? Yeah sure I can...

After eating my breakfast I watched some TV, but nothing good was on at the moment so I decided to go upstairs and have a shower.

I cleaned myself and got changed into a tank top and some not-very-skinny-jeans. I was lost quite a lot of weight recently and all my clothes where becoming very baggy, I didn't mind though.

Whilst I was getting changes I realised we where having a movie night at my place tonight, so I reminded my self to go to the store later to get some stuff, seeing as my house was practically empty of food. The only thing I had that wasn't really for me was the present I had for Jodi, it was small and didn't cost any money but I think she'll like it a lot.

Soon enough to 12pm came and the mailman delivered my letters to my mail box. I went out to collect it straight away, earning myself a weird look from the mailman.

I went inside and started reading my letter.

It read:

To Tony,

I'm so glad you wrote back to me! I also hope you don't mind but I think ranting will happen a lot more often now.

I will definitely talk to you when I need to, I have had a shit time and I've realised its good to talk to people. I still only feel comfortable talking to you, Layla and sometimes her mum, seeing as she knows everything any ways.

The bruise was from my mum, that was before anyone found out about her and everyone ignored me at school anyways, so no one persisted me about it.

Schools still the same, points, stares, shoves, remarks made. But at least I go home to a nice place, I feel happier then I used to be but I still feel terrible. Layla wants to get me tested for depression, I think she's talking to her mum about it soon.

I'm so glad you are willing to keep talking to me, I was so worried you wouldn't reply, and that you had given up on me writing back. I'm so glad you understand that it's hard for me in my situation, but I'm trying and I'm also
Glad you are here for me.

I would love to talk to you over phone, but I don't have one at the moment. I think Layla's mum is giving me her iPhone 5 after her new one arrives that she ordered, it will come soon so when I get a number I'll tell you.

I actually forgot about the present! I still don't mind though, I feel like I've been given enough in life. But if you really feel the need to get me one then fine.

Talk soon,

From Jodi.

•End Of Letter•

It hurt to know that Jodi was so sad, but she was such a strong person. No was should she feel like she has to get better straight away, any one else would take years to get over something like this.

I thought about this issue for a while
And then started writing.

•Starr Of Letter•

To Jodi,

I don't mind about you ranting more often, if anything it's good to help and frankly I regret not talking to people about my problems when I could have.

I'm glad you live in a loving home, with people who care for you. You really do deserve it, more then anyone.

I think It's good that your being tested for depression, and that she's looking out for you like that. It means that you will get help if and when you need it.

Since you don't have a phone at the moment, I'll give you my number now so that you can just text me when you get it; *inserts number here*, now you can just text me when you get the phone.

Changing the subject, I'm having another movie night tonight but with the whole band. I'll be sure to tell you about it and recommend some films to you because if we ever meet then you need to see some of my favourite films!

Also we will be having pizza but I still don't think sending you a slice would work out very well with the mailman in your neighbourhood!

I look forward to your next letter, also, I got you that present I promised! Don't worry, it didn't cost a penny but I'm sure you will love it! It will definitely make Layla jealous! It's a few things but they're all only small.

From Tony.

•End Of Letter•

I put it in an envelope and put the envelope in the small box I was mailing it with. It had a pierce the veil top inside, signed by all of us, a few pictures of the band that where signed and some small stuff from other bands. I had told them all about Jodi and wanting to send her a present and they agreed to give me some spare merch from your which was helpful.

Later that day I sent the letter, then, all the boys came over and we stayed watching movies whilst eating some pizza.
