Unforgettable (Part 1)

It's pretty sad with Clair, but what can you do? Regardless of Michael's comments, I decide to tell Emily about the situation. I am still watching television, waiting for Dad to come home from shiftwork, as I was told to do so. Mum has been busy again and is incredibly tired, so she's sleeping. Soon I'll be in her position, all due to Clair's position. I honestly thought she would be much more clever than this; even I make wiser decisions than her. Despite her getting first place in the grade last year and me getting second, my class still thinks I'm smarter than Clair. Sometimes I beg to differ, but I kind of see where their line of argument is coming from. For Clair to not care about school, let alone tell me or Michael about her situation despite Michael being one of her most closest friends, is just peculiar. This demonstrates that something is wrong with her and the cyber bullying she is currently experiencing is having a major influence with her attitude. I send Emily a message over iMessage:

R u still awake?

I have a lot of sympathy for Emily, after a tragic loss of her sister Shelly occurred around six months ago. Emily loved Shelly with all her heart and shared many good memories with her, so when Shelly died, Emily was traumatised. Ever since this loss, Emily has been broken down emotionally and has not been able to repair herself. Emily often has nightmares that keep haunting her weekly. There is no response, which is good for Emily because today is probably one of the only good sleeps she's had in ages. Despite this, I still fill her in on the details and send the image of the screenshot Josephine sent to me. I yawn, feeling incredibly tired and wanting to go to sleep, however, I can't. I have to wait until my Dad gets home from work according to Mum. Seriously, I think she's so paranoid about Dad not getting home at the right time or if something will happen to him, after all, there are so many drive by shootings currently occurring in Western Sydney. I look at the time on my iPad; it's one thirty. Dad should be home soon, I hope!
