Hi George
That was harsh, but no less than I deserved.
I wasn't going to write back at all but something you said really got to me and now I need to explain myself. I don't know if it's more for you or for me.
We were at the back, but we DID go to Fred's funeral.
I'm not trying to make excuses; I'm just telling you what happened. Angelina couldn't face you, and she needed me more than you did, or so I thought at the time. I can't tell you why (that's up to her), other than to say that you've got the wrong end of the stick if you think that it's because you're the lesser twin. Where the fuck did you come up with that bullshit idea anyway?
I don't have any good excuses or reasons for not coming over after. You're not going to get it, because you're just not like that, but it was just easier to go and hide out at home for a while. Then after a couple of weeks I started to feel like a real dick. I didn't know what to say, so it was easier to say nothing at all.
Then we tried to see you at the shop, but Ron said that you were on a break (I knew you weren't man, I saw you through the window) and I knew I'd really cocked things up – but by then it was too late.
Basically, I'm a coward. Sorry. Don't be too hard on Ang though, there's stuff you don't know and she's pretty messed up.
