on the other hand coming back to tdot and going out right away to hang out with everyone was fun. sure i got pwned but i had myself a real smile and a real laugh for that time period. wow tp, we known each other for 5 years and yesterday (8279) was our first hug! we'll have our second hug another 5 years from now lol. it started out as you running towards me from far, i thought it'd be funny to run to you with open arms and then reject you but even when i turn and ran, you ran after me and so it ended up as two idiots running around in the parking lot. i didn't want to break out record but i was getting tired so BAM -_-. yes, i can pick you up. you aren't heavy. it then went on to ml for our first hugs but failed lol. anyways as i was going home at like 1 am or so i hopped off the bus to walk into my neighborhood. everyone who knows where i live knows how far of a walk it is from the bus stops to my house. so as i got off the bus, i was the only person in the area. i crossed the street towards the dentist place and no one was infront of me and i looked behind, there was also no one and continued my way. as i was listening to my ipod i took one ear out to hear my text alert due to texting and i heard a noise form behind me and some guy was walking right behind me. he seemed drunk and i wondered where the fuck he came from cause i was the only one on the entire block. so as i was texting i heard his foot steps come closer and closer so i walked faster and decided to call ml. scared shitless i was telling ml what was happening in viet. i heard his foot steps getting louder so i looked back and he started mumbling something to me. he was walking like he was drunk, mind you it was dark, chilly and he was wearing dark clothes. ml told me to cross the street but the other side had no side walk but told me to cross anyways so i did. looking back to "see" if there was any "cars" he was also slowly crossing the street as i did. that's when i told ml i'm going to go so i could call my brother. when he picked up i felt a sigh of relief but at the same time was hoping he was home which he was. from the very beginning i spoke to him in viet saying his viet name and everything. i told him that i was near the stop sign and i heard him say loudly to someone in a worried rushed voice "some guy's following my sister!" i heard him quickly rushing out but my phone was dying and it went silent. as i was walked towards my house i looked back so i could cross back to the other side, the creeper also crossed back. i then was turning the corner curb, started walking towards my house and saw my brother rushing out of the drive way with his girlfriend in a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops. i knew i was then safe and i still looked back to see where the guy was and i didn't see him. he had slowed down. as i came closer and closer to my brother and his gf, i told them what happened and asked if they saw him walked by cause close to the turn he slowed down alot. his gf didn't see the creepy guy but my brother saw him walking by. it was the first creepy experience i felt walking home. his gf told me to be careful and not to walk home aline so late. after that i kind of felt a missing piece falling back into place. even though i have my days with my brother where we'd bitch or be a bitch or deadly fight, he still had my back and i still have his. just like when we were much younger. we always had each others back, if one gets beatings the other would too. same with his gf, we have our days but we still watch out for each other and have each others back. it's funny how things work but i call it family, i call it love. the meaning for me was lost, i focused it on something differently because i started looking for love in a person. i end up getting hurt or fucking myself over but, although my family is messed up and apart we still love, care, worry, watch out for one another. at the end of everyday we still have each other even if we don't make the best decisions or show it. at the end of the day it's home where i'm back at. my family's my home, my family's my heart..
- p.s rest in peace grandpa.
