“Sounds good to me too.”

𝐾𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑎:
“There is few things that we can use to work on your stress and any anger - there’s a few holodeck programs that we can use,”

𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛:
“Ok Dad, Mom…I will give this try.
I know somethings not right.”

𝐾𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑎:
“For many people, Often the biggest step to moving forward. Is admitting that there is problem.
That’s a really big step Gabrian.”

*as Gabrian hides his face*

Whatever we talk about now stays between us & remains private.
I’m just trying to understand what makes you sad & what makes you want to drink”

𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛:
“Ahh…I got you.”

*Looking rather surprised.*

𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛
“For the record…This feels completely Pointless.
But I will try to give this ago.
Let’s get this over with.”

“What makes you say that Gabrian..? I can sense that you are really nervous about talking & opening up.++

*Gabrian is slouched in his chair with his arms*

“Is this really necessary…?
This absolutely ridiculous.
Next we will all be sitting around a campfire singing Lame songs.”

𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 :
“I completely agree uncle Franklin. I wanna make a complete fresh start.
I know it probably takes time.”

𝐾𝑎𝑦𝑙𝑎
“It will take time Gabrian. You can come and see me anytime. You really need to talk. When you just need someone to listen.”

I love you all too.
My family has been my rock & strength throughout all of this.
I’m lucky to have an amazing family.
But I can’t stay on this station.
While l’m healing & getting my life back on track again & starting a fresh.”

“Sometimes l envy Androids. They have that ability to Turn off feelings & emotions.
Where everything …is so much simpler & straight forward.”

Charlotte is still very much alive. I see around the station constantly. I still love her, I’d be willing to sort things out with her. I could accept her being with my uncle too.

But it’s obvious she doesn’t feel the same way.
I’m asking myself did she ever really feel the same way. So confused.”

I really miss charlotte, we did everything together & we were both happy. We had our whole future ahead of us. We were about to get married.
Then it was all suddenly taken away.
I started drinking coz it helps numb some of the pain.
Only that pain never seems to go away.

“I know l have to try snapping out of this. But sometimes l don’t know how…. The drinking is the only thing that numbs if all.”

“I know you’re all completely right. I need snap out of us all this. I’m still looking forward to going fishing with dad”

“I still love being a Starfleet Captain like my Dad. That’s never changed. I guess you’re all right.
I need to sort my head out & get my life back on track.
I just know it’s not going to be easy. Even l know l can’t go on
Like this. The hardest part, is l really miss Charlotte…a lot.”

𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 :
“I don’t know…it still feels far too soon. I have thought about getting off this station & going back to work.”

𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑒:
“But Gabrian, you aren’t ready for that. This heavy drinking both your dad &…l been worried about that.
At the moment you not yet ready to be commanding a ship.”

*𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑠 𝑎𝑠 𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑠 ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑒𝑦𝑒𝑠.*
“This so pointless & lame…
How exactly is this supposed to be helping..??”

𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑒 :
“Gabrian…just give this a chance m.”

“That maybe so, but he was still responsible. He should have known better. So yes l do hold him accountable & responsible.”

- Then you should try finding Ariah’s husband & then you should ask him this question.

As he played a part in what happened to Charlotte “

*Gabrian quietly looks down at floor. His sadness shows as his parents try to talk to himl*

“Yes….well things change.”

“That’s makes a change…coz normally I’m in deep trouble bout something,”

“The spare bedroom is already for sweetheart.”

“I’m totally all up for it.
We used be out there on the sea for many hours.

I know it’s going to take time to fully recover from this. But I’m going to try…I promise.”

“I’m totally all up the fishing trip. I still remember when we caught all that Fresh salmon.
That time when we visited Dads hometown. That trip was so awesome”

*Deep down Gabrian knows his parents are both right.*

“Yep….S….Sounds good to me to Dad.
I still remember our very first fishing trip. When we visited your old Home 🏡 Town.
We managed to catch all that fresh salmon.

Even though we spent most of the day sunbathing. We always had fun.”

*𝐺𝑎𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑓𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑑.*
“That’s great…. But Why…I…here in your quarters Mom..?
Dad..”

*𝐴𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑠 𝑢𝑝 𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑒*
“Y….You’re Dad & l wanted spend some quality time with you son.”

“That true l guess…But What about if…….

A person went back in time to the point of time to say… a year or two before the event happens.
Could the accident be prevented.”

“Times Ariahs tried explaining
about the Butterfly Effect, Time travelling & Science stuff. It’s always blown my mind. She kind of takes after both you & Mom in that way.

I…I think I’m slowly coming around dad.”
