J13 says: I'm sorry?
SWilliams73: emo means emotional
J13 says: I am not emotional.
SWilliams73: you just said you lacked happiness
J13 says: I do.
SWilliams73: well then you must be emotional
J13 says: How so?
SWilliams73: well if you're not happy, you must be sad

SWilliams73: you have friends though right?
SWilliams73: don't they make you happy?
SWilliams73: what about a gf?
SWilliams73: or a dog?
J13 says: A 'gf'?
SWilliams73: girlfriend*
J13 says: Ah.
SWilliams73: well?
SWilliams73: ??
J13 says: Despite having friends, I am lonely. Despite having wealth, I am poor. I have no dog, though I take responsibility for many hundreds of creatures. And no, I do not have 'a girlfriend'.
SWilliams73: well
J13 says: Yes?
SWilliams73: sounds like the only thing you need is a big hug
J13 says: Lol.
J13 says: Perhaps you could provide?
SWilliams73: haha
SWilliams73: seriously though
SWilliams73: it sounds like you're missing out on something J13 says: And that something is ...?
SWilliams73: I don't know
SWilliams73: but you'll have to figure that out if you want to be happy
J13 says: I suppose I will.
SWilliams73: well i'm here if you ever need someone to chat to
J13 says: Thankyou Sarah.
SWilliams73: No probs
J13 says: And likewise.
J13 says: If you ever need me, all you need to do is call.

J13: Sweet dreams.

WOO.
Okay, so don't ask how you-know-who got hold of a computer, or Sarah's email address; all shall be concocted and explained in the next chapter, if there is one.
BASICALLY there is no more to this thus far.
I need to know if this is worth continuing before I spend valuable homework time writing the succeeding chapter(s).
So please, review my writing with encouragements or criticisms, suggestions or complaints. I just need to know my stuff is being read and appreciated.
And finally, THANKS FOR READING :)
