“I totally understand how your feeling there trust me I do, mum and mama are trying to help me and Jacqui out so we can work and I know that’s a big change for you…”

“No but Amy if you can attend my basketball games, why cant they, I wouldn’t mind if they said to me listen Nate we cant make it tonight, but they don’t even crack a light they just don’t show and when I come home they ask how did we get on and when I go to tell them, they end up walking away or talking to each other about the twins”

Amy looked at Nathan listening to him.

“And I feel like im being absolute pathetic and out of order for being angry at them because at the end of the day im 14 but I still like to feel like…urgh I don’t even know” Nathan sighed rubbing his eyes as tears were forming “How pathetic im crying over nothing”

“Dude come here” Amy said pulling her brother into a hug “Were a really close family and we’ve always had a really close bond with Mum and Mama so I understand why your feeling this way”

“They’re just going to think im being a spoilt brat” Nathan stated

“Hey no they’re not…between me and you their worried, you think they don’t notice… they do”

“Then why are you talking to me and not them?” Nathan asked catching Amy off guard

“I can’t answer that buddy, that’s a good question and I feel you should ask them that”

“What’s the point?” Nathan asked

“The point is their not getting any younger Nathan so sometimes they need it right in their face before they click on, as much as they are educated when it comes to their own children they get a bit side tracked” Amy smirked

Nathan smiled

“Their it is…that’s the first you’ve smiled in weeks…I love your smile you know” Amy said hugging Nathan again “I love you and anytime you need to talk come and see me, I’m your sister and I’m never too busy for you, if your head is full I’ll help you unpack it yeah”

“Thanks Amy…I love you too” Nathan said
