RealLife

"Liam, pass yesterday's journal please" asks Theo.
"I don't have it."
"To your right."
"It's the one from the day before yesterday."
"Under it."

Liam looks to his right, picks up the paper and, yes, there was the one from yesterday that Theo was looking for. He gives it to him, then turns around and rests against the table.

"I've got nothing, nada. We have hundreds of elements but nothing makes sense, it's like, like.."
"Like someone is hiding, they're killing for fun, without any purpose" finishes Theo.

Peter arrives at the same time and takes a seat on the couch next to a sleeping Nolan.

"Still nothing?" he asks.
"No."
"Liam, I think it's time you ask Scott for help."
"No, I want to handle this myself."
"Liam.."
"No Theo, we don't need him, he needs himself, he needs to think about him and not us anymore."

Theo turns around and looks at Liam. Smiles at him and looks back at the papers on the table, he wouldn't mind a little help.

no liam, you see it's hard to see the person you think of as your little brother, completely ignore you

liam
lyds :(

malia
she's right you know
we offered help and you threw us off

liam
i just wanted to prove that i was good enough to do this without you, that you could go off to college without having to worry about us 24/7

lydia
you could have told us that since the beginning young man, we were worried

liam
why?

malia
because you wouldn't talk to us, or anyone around you
it's never good to isolate yourself

liam
i know

malia
don't ever do this again

liam
yes mum

lydia
we love you lima

liam
i love you too
