Forgotten...

~Empty

It's half one in the morning and seriously I hate this feeling of isolation.

I've left behind the people I love, but even though I want to go back, I don't.

The sad truth is, I don't think I can ever leave near them again. Riley is going to grow up hating me, who am I kidding I'm not part of the family? I'm just Shawn Hunter the... orphan. I have no family and I have no one.

Ever since Cory got married I've become a sort of out cast to the group. Angela kept me stable for a while but she left. No one's been here to keep me together and I knew sooner or later I'd break. I'd crack. An egg can only last so long rolling around on a brick wall before it falls and cracks. I'm an egg. I've cracked.

My phone suddenly lights up and I receive a text from Cory, he hasn't lost hope in me yet...

Cory: Hey pal, I know it's early/late whatever way you look at it I guess. I don't know what I did to make you want to leave but please come back. I'm Cory and you're Shawn that's how it's always been. Come back and we'll sort it out together like we always have. I'm new at this father thing and I could really use a hand. ;)

Shawn: I can't Cor. See you at Christmas.
