Once Peter was ready for bed he decided to call his brother Scott and let him know he was going to be off next weekend and that Mark said he could stay here. Plus he hadn’t talked to him in a few days. So he dialed him up instead of sending a text.

PETER- “Yeah, Mark said it would be fine if you stayed here. I mean the house is big. Of course not as big as ours, or as old, but it is nice. You would be staying in the basement.  Or we could put a sleeping bag in my room if you didn’t want to sleep in the basement.”

SCOTT- “I can sleep in the basement, Pete. I am not a scared little boy anymore. This will be fun, plus I can meet these little kids you are always going on about. Plus, Maybe you can meet Alexis when we get to Britechester, she is going to meet me there on Saturday. I have told her ALL about you.”

PETER- “Yes, I would like that.  I mean you have been dating her almost a year and I haven’t got to meet her yet.  How are mom and Dad and the girls doing? I haven’t heard from Dad at all, and mom only texts me.”

GENERATION ONE EPISODE 10 ~ Seeing Dead People

The weekend arrived and Peter went to the bus station to pick up his brother Scott and bring him back to the Schrieber home. It was August first and it seemed as though summer was going to end early this year as it had rained most of the day and as they drove past the docks it was finally subsiding, but the temperature dropped 15 degrees since the time Peter left to go to the bus station. It was late when they arrived back and the twins were already in bed, as well as Mark. Seth greeted them on their arrival and Peter made the introductions and Seth led them to the basement to the room that Scott would be using during his visit.

SETH- “It is so good to finally meet someone from Peter’s family. I hope you enjoy your visit, Scott.”

SCOTT- “I am the only family member other than Peter that travels outside of our home. Father and Mother both work. Father in town and mother in her garden. My sisters are both busy, one going back to college and the youngest is starting high school this fall.”

SETH- “I knew Peter had siblings, but had no idea he had so many. He doesn’t share much.”

SCOTT- “Peter is a closed person, he doesn’t share too much with others.”

About that point in the conversation Peter walked into the room.

SETH- “Sometimes that can be a good thing I suppose. So I hope yu like your room, and make yourself at home, Scott. Stay as long as you want, I know you were here for the weekend, but if you want to stay longer, you are more than welcome to.”

SCOTT- “Thank you.  I guess it all depends on Peter.  He may not be able to handle me being around for longer than the weekend!”

SETH- “Like I said, if you do decide to stay, you can stay here. Good night, I have an early call in the morning. I hope you enjoy your stay and it is good to meet you.”

SCOTT- “He said he wants to help you, Peter I don’t know why you are upset by this. Mark is a psychologist he is not going to do anything that will hurt you.”

PETER- “I know, but if Joseph doesn’t trust him it is not going to help.”

SCOTT- “Listen, Peter, if Joseph realizes that he is hurting you then maybe he will leave you alone and be able to move on and rest in peace.”

PETER- “How is he ever going to rest in peace, Scott. He died because of me. I should have tried to save him. I could have saved him. I could have told him not to take the horses out that night.”

SCOTT- “Peter, I never once thought it was your fault, neither did anyone else. It was an accident.”

PETER- “Dad did, He still blames me.”

SCOTT- “He is wrong, Peter and you know it. Dad just has his own guilt to deal with. He never gave any of us kids affection or even spent time with us. And the bad thing is, he still isn’t. If anything, Joseph’s death made it worse. He is never home at all now.”

[thegaybachelorsims]

SCOTT- “Mom and Dad are the same. Maybe a little worse. Dad is always gone for work and mom is always in her garden with her flowers. She doesn’t talk much. I haven’t seen dad in about three weeks.  When he does come home he stays upstairs. Darla is getting ready to leave for Foxbury in a few weeks. She and her boyfriend Hayden broke things off, so she was pretty bummed all summer. Bridgette is excited about starting her last year of middle school and turning in to a teenager soon. 

PETER- “And how are you? The night terrors still staying away?”

SCOTT- “Yes, for the most part. You doing okay? Doctor Lewis said he hasn’t heard from you since you went to Brindleton, Pete.”

PETER- “Things are good. I am thinking about changing therapists. Maybe find one here in Brindleton instead of coming to Windenburg to see Dr. Lewis. Plus he is getting old. But, actually I have been doing pretty good. I think the kids keep me so occupied I don’t have time for seeing things...you know? Even though, the last couple of days have been odd, not really seeing anything, just my eyes playing games with me, I think. Probably because I am tired. I don’t get much sleep, but it is getting better now that the kids are a little older. A few days off when you get here is going to exactly what I need. It will be great!  Well, I need to get to bed Scott, plus I think I left my window open it is really getting chilly in here. Good Night, Brother.”

SCOTT- “You okay starting over with someone new. I mean you have made a lot of advancing with Dr. Lewis. It may be hard going through all that again, you know? Well, anyway, you do what is good for you. Night, Pete. I am really looking forward to seeing you and excited about my visit.”

PETER- “I am really excited too. It seems like it has been forever since I have seen you. And about changing therapist, I will think about what you said, you may be right. Going through that from the beginning with someone new would be hard. But I am sure Dr. Lewis would send his file.  Or who knows, maybe I could ask the kids dad, Mark. He is a psychologist.”

SCOTT- “Please tell me you are joking. That would be a mistake, Pete. You are taking care of his children.”

PETER- “I was joking. He wouldn’t take me anyway, conflict of interest, I am sure. Good night and call me when you leave.”

The day went well in Britechester, except for all the rain and Peter and Scott got back to Brindleton right before dinner.

PETER- “So you really think it is in my best interest that I tell them about my issues with Joseph’s death and his ghost?”

SCOTT- “I really think you need to be honest with them, Pete. Tell them everything and let them know you are still seeing your therapist.”

PETER- “I just don’t want to lose this job, Scott.”

SCOTT- “Tell them the truth, then if they let you go, we will deal with it, okay? Like I said we canget an apartment together in Britechester and you can still work on your masters. You won’t need to go back home.”

PETER- “There is NO WAY I am going back there...”

SCOTT- “Okay, here they come. Just be calm.”

PETER- “I’m fine.”

MARK- “Hi guys, so how was the day at Brite?”

SCOTT- “Awesome, I really think I made my choice.”

[thegaybachelorsims]

PETER- “Just to remind you, he is married. And you are only seventeen”

SCOTT- “What the hell you talking about, Pete?”

PETER- “Seth.  You were flirting.”

SCOTT- “Excuse me? No, that was not flirting. I know you haven’t done it in a while, but that was no where near being flirty. I was just being nice and talking to him, Pete. You need to stop with the paranoia.”

PETER- “Fine, you may not have been flirting, but you do talk too much.”

PETER- “There is a reason that I do not share my personal life with them. First of all they are my employer no matter how nice they may seem. And secondly, you know my background and my issues, Scott. If they knew I was in Brymoore, I would be out of here so fast my head would spin.”

SCOTT- “I thought you said that Mark was a psychologist? Of all people he would understand. Maybe you SHOULD tell them”

PETER- “He would be the first to send me packing, Scott.”

SCOTT- “Pete, you are doing fine now. It’s been over two years and as long as you take your medication... what harm is it talking about your family!?”

PETER- “I almost let it slip the other day about Joseph. If I start talking about family, inevitably he will be brought into the conversation and I would prefer not to talk about my dead brother.”

SCOTT- “He was your brother, Peter, OUR brother. He died. In a fire. There was nothing you or anyone else could do about it. Talking about him, might help you. Regardless if he is dead, he is still our brother, we can not act like he never existed!”

PETER- “But you are not the one who still sees him, and has talked to him. Night terrors are one thing, Seeing dead family members and having conversations with them are two different things.”

SCOTT- “Again, that was two years ago. You are fine Pete, right?.  Again stop being so paranoid. We have a big day tomorrow and a lot of places to go, so we both need some sleep.”

PETER- “You are right, but please, don’t talk so much to them about our family, okay?”

SCOTT- “Sure, whatever you say. Good Night, Peter.”

[thegaybachelorsims]

SCOTT- “Hey where have you been? I have been ready for a while...hey are you okay? You look like you seen a .... sorry that wasn’t meant to be insensitive.”

PETER- “Actually I did see a ghost. Joseph is here. Not only is he here, the twins can see him too, they are interacting with him and call him Jo Jo!”

SCOTT- “Peter? You are being serious aren’t you? You really think you saw him and that the kids are interacting with him??”

PETER- “Scott, I am not making this up.  Joseph is here. When I asked him what he was doing here he said...I go where you go!”

SCOTT- “Okay, think this through Peter. You have had a lot on your mind and you haven’t had a day off in months----

PETER- “STOP PATRONIZING ME SCOTT!!  I saw him, and not only that, I was yelling at him and Seth heard me and thought I was yelling at the twins, and he wants to TALK about it when I get back tonight.”

SCOTT- “I am sorry, I didn’t mean ----

PETER- “No one has ever believed me. Everyone just thinks I am crazy.”

SCOTT- “Peter, you are NOT crazy. I believe you.”

PETER- “No you don’t, you are doing it again, patronizing me. Please don’t”

SCOTT- “Okay... listen, let’s got on to Britechester, I will call Alexis and let her know we are not going to be able to meet her. We need to talk about this and how to explain to Seth and Mark about all of this.”

PETER- “I am sorry, Scott. You came all this way and then I ruin it.”

SCOTT- “You haven’t ruined anything. I am still going to see the campus, so stop worrying, I am fine. But we need to go so we can get started on the tour on time.”
