Larry And Lawrie (Part 1)

Vanessa was well aware of Julien's sincerity. But as Joey mentioned something so terrible that Vanessa never wanted to hear again, she had reacted so defensively to Julien, and also everyone else around her. Everyone was a bad person to her. This was the only way she could protect herself. She was trying so hard to protect her secrets and inadvertently revealed her inner fears. Seeing through this, Joey advised, "Vanessa, there are indeed bad people in the world, but we need to believe that there are more good people than bad ones. We especially shouldn't hurt or doubt the people who care for us. Life is about choosing wisely, so we need to forget things that should be forgotten, and move on. We need to start doing things right before we regret it." Vanessa completely understood Joey and she usually would take other's advice, but she had lost her composure earlier. Once her nerves settled, she apologized, "I'm sorry, Joey." Joey said softly, "Vanessa, you don't have to apologize to me.
