Wir werden wie Gold sein

Bali is incredible and being here with Daria is wonderful. It's so warm and it's just nice to get out of London for a little while.

I miss Cassandra and Phoebe so much though! Sleeping in is nice but I miss their little faces! I suddenly understand what my parents must have gone through being away from me. It makes me feel bad for not talking to my mother more when she lived in California.

I really love being a dad. And being here is just making me realise it even more.

While we're protesting this bullshit, can we also protest the weather?

I'm cold. But I'm not stopping.

Why didn't you teach us German?

I woke up this morning beside my gorgeous girlfriend, Daria. I made breakfast and helped her feed the girls and then we spent some time in the yard. It was torture tearing myself away to go to class. But then, at the end of the day, I got to come home to them. I got to come home to Daria, Cassandra and Phoebe.

It means so much to me.

Daria. Daria Daria Daria Daria Daria Daria, I have so much to tell you.

I'll just keep repeating your name like a mantra.

Daria Daria Daria.

I love you. Can I come over? I know things might be chaotic with moving and stuff. I just want to see you and the girls.

My dad just kicked me out of the house tonight! So if you are busy, I'll stay with Peter and Aly, though I'd rather stay with you.

Dad is so funny. He asked me if I had anything planned and then informed me I had to have something planned. He has a date with Maya. She makes him happy and I really like that.

I really like Maya, Dad.

So I hear you're dating my Serenity, hmm? I have my eye on you, Mister.

And by that, I do mean, congratulations. I'm really glad it's you. I love Serenity like a sister; and you're exactly the kind of person I want to see her with. The kind of person who makes her happy and I trust you want that for her too.

But I still have my eye on you!

I'm sorry I disappeared this morning. I didn't tell you, but Neil was hurt and I wanted to be at the hospital with Daria. It wasn't me having a last minute change-of-heart, or deciding I'd made a mistake or something. I'm sorry if you freaked out. I'm at the hospital now if you do want to come, but we're okay here.

I think, now that I'm...you know...in a listening place...I'd like to understand what happened back then. Just sometime. I think it would help.

And for the record, I didn't not call Peter last night because he's in hospital. I know he would have left to come get me if I had asked him to. I called you because you were the only person I wanted to see. Thanks again for coming to get me without hesitating for a second, even though I have been an unbelievable little shit.

Your younger brother is in hospital, bleeding out. You might want to...like...give a damn or something.
