He had been working on his artwork for hours, and yet it seemed like he had gotten nothing done. He took another long drink of his soda before squeezing the can and throwing it into his waste basket, which made it clink with the other clans. His artwork at to be perfect and yet there was something missing. He had to move on in his artwork. Maybe to something exotic like nude draw--<br/><br/><strong>Ring!</strong><br/><br/>"Ugh" Derek said outloud rubbing his messy black hair. He picked up the phone and looked to see it was his old buddy from school. Once again he had to explain that he had to leave because of family stuff, which was partly a lie.

The three months had passed and Patrica once again found herself saying goodbye to one of her sons, this time the youngest Eric. The only conselation she had found was her eldest son had returned to live at home instead. She had never been the sort of mother who could replace one child with another. But at least Derek's return had kept her busy, giving her less time to think about her youngest being far away on the other side of the world.<br/><br/>Standing outside her son's door she knocked. "It's only Mom honey, can I come in?" He had been holed up in his room nearly all the time since he got back and there were things she needed to ask and talk to him about.<br/>
