So much for starting this chapter like two months ago. I know it took me forever to upload, I apologize sincerely. School has been making me crazy. But I hope you enjoy this chapter! I believe some of the “lessons” will be in it. I also tried to make it a little longer, but I don't know how successful I was. It's always shorter than I think it is :/ And sorry, no Arjun in this chapter, but he will be in the next one. I think.
I am going to assume that since you've made it this far, you have ready my disclaimer.
As always, I would appreciate any form of feedback. Please vote and fan if you like it, and comment even if you don't. Thanks for reading!
Above all, thank you to my loyal fans who read, comment, and vote no matter what!!

Blake took one look at the letter he had been trying to write for the past two hours and crumpled it up into a ball before throwing it backwards over his head like the seven others before it. He shook his head in frustration, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples. Maybe now was not the best time to try to write a letter to his father. He was starting to feel the beginnings of another headache, or maybe the one from last night was still lingering.
Nevertheless, he knew that it was time to attempt a reconciliation. And he missed his family, especially his sisters and brother. Maybe he'd write a letter to one of his sisters instead. Yes, that was a good plan. There was no point in writing to Jake, though it would have been nice to hear from his brother, since he was terrible at returning letters. Without a second's hesitation, Blake took out a clean piece of stationary, dabbed his quill in the inkwell, and began to write.
