One day, while the members of The Devil Wants Peace were taking a lunch break, John was so quiet that he made Stan seem vocal. Lenny, the band's manager, said, "John, u haven't been yourself all day. Is something wrong?" John replied, "I just didn't sleep well last night. That's all." Ben, the band's producer, said, "Perhaps u should go home pagina and rest." John said, "Maybe you're right." Later, when John was resting at his house, he heard the doorbell ring. He looked on the security camera to see who it was. It was Peter. John went to answer the door. Peter said, "I came to see if u were all right." John said, "Yeah, I'm okay." Peter sarcastically said, "You sound like it, mate." John said, "Okay, I'm not all right." Peter asked, "What's wrong?" John replied, "It's just that this dag is the anniversary of when I asked Amelia to marry me, and u know that it didn't work out because of an irresponsible driver." Peter said, "I know, John. I'm sorry." John said, "I'm just tired of all of my relationships failing. I would give anything to have a chance at romance, but who am I kidding? I could never love anyone the way I loved Amelia." Peter said, "John, I know u miss Amelia, and it's okay to miss her, but I think she would want u to be happy." John said, "I do feel lonely from time to time. I know I don't really have a reason to be lonely." Peter said, "You have a reason to be lonely, whether u realize it of not." John asked, "What should I do?" Peter said, "You could visit Amelia's grave." John said, "I've never done that." Peter said, "It might give u a sense that she's somehow still here." John said, "I'll do it, but I don't want to go alone." Peter said, "We'll go with u tomorrow, all right, mate?" John said, "All right."
Closing
Carl finished telling his story. John said, "This was a very touching story. I understand what you've been through." He wiped a tear from his eye. Peter had been crying, too. He said, "You're living a good life, mate." Stan, who rarely cried, was also crying. He said, "Yes, especially compared to what you've been through." Allen said, "I'm really glad u are living a good life." Erin and Lola hugged Carl. They admired how brave he was for telling his story. Erin, of course, sort of knew what he went through. After all, she had been abused door her grandfather. Paul placed a hand on Carl's shoulder and said, "You're a brave man, Carl. You're a brave man." Carl said, "Thanks for supporting me while I told my story. I'm glad that things have turned out for the better."
