[Follow-up to Family Virus - NOT backdated]

[halfdeimos_king]

...I don't care if it was just another damn virus. I had a family - a real one. People I thought I cared about all my life...who wouldn't leave me.

Damn it! Damn it to hell! This is so stupid! I shouldn't be so...so...

...Hurt.

It was just a virus. It made me think I have a family, that's all. My only family is Kharg and my grandfather, and I barely know them. I guess it's still something. But...

No...I'm not gonna regret what happened during the virus, and I'm not gonna get all sappy about it either. There are more important things right now, so I shouldn't - I won't let it get to me. It just...felt good to have a real family for a few days.

Phil, Luna, Lyra...I know it wasn't your choice or anything, but...I'm glad you were my family. Even if it was for a little while.

Just because they're not really your family doesn't mean they can't be. In some way. [Eye Roll]

What do you mean?

[wannabesanta.livejournal.com]

Just what I say...

Alright, just because you may had have family and you thought these other people where your family, why can't you think of them in that way of sorts still?

I know I do.

[halfdeimos-king.livejournal.com]

You mean...still think of them as family anyway?

[LOCKED to Jack; unhackable]
I still do, sort of. It's as if I still feel close to them like I did during the virus, but I'm just not blinded by it anymore.

But of course!

Oh, I see. I see. As if you know they're not really related to you but you're still have that comfort none the less?

Something like that, I guess.

Do they all still feel the same as well?

It looks like it.

Father took care of me on his own too, until he died. Yours must be really brave as well.

I've never been to any sort of school before, but I know how it feels to be looked down upon like that...to be treated like a freak because you're different. I had to fight for my place and for everything I have now.

...I don't think they've left me either. And I don't know if I want them to.
