Alex's hands had been shaking throughout the whole letter he was penning to Chase. He couldn't help it. This was the first actual letter he was going to write to an actual friend. It wasn't some exercise to help improve his English. He gave it to his mamá first so she could go over it for him, making sure it was correct and whatnot. Then with trembling hands he tied it to the leg of the family's Little Owl, one that they had brought with them from Spain. He was called Pepito.
Hola Chase!
How is summer going for you? I know you didn't want to come back go back that much but its going okay, yes? I have been playing guitar everyday since being at home again. My fingers hurt much a lot. My dad says you can come to our house when you liek like so we can marmalade jam. I'm sorry, I'm making lots of mistakes. My mum wants to see you again soon. She says you are a nice boy.

The minute Chase had gotten back home after his first year of Hogwarts, he was beaten. His mother had mentioned to his dad when Chase would be home, and he went out and got drunk. It seemed like his brain felt better about beating him when he was drunk that when he was sober. That didn't mean he hadn't beaten him sober before as well.
It only lasted about 20 minutes, but after Chase cried for almost an hour straight. His mother had been in his room with him. Trying to get him to talk about Hogwarts. He wouldn't. He didn't want the two lives to combine. Eventually he calmed down though, and told him about both of his friends he made. He asked his mom if it was possible to hang with them over the summer, and she told him she'd make it work. Chase didn't want to even ask how much she was beaten for letting him go to Hogwarts in the first place.
Chase was a different person person than he was in school. He didn't like being home, and the holidays were taking way too long. He played his drums every day since he got back. He wished there was a way to take them to Hogwarts with him.
It was after a rather hard beating when Chase saw the owl outside his bedroom door. He had a tissue in his hand and was trying to stop his bloody lip. He had a confused look on his face, but opened the letter immediately. He could tell it was Alex from the greeting. He smiled widely as he quickly got some parchment and scribbled a reply, telling the owl to wait.
Hey, Jay,
Summer is summer, I guess. Can't wait to board the train again on September 1st. I'm counting the days. What about yours? I've been drumming about the same as well. I really missed it. Don't worry about the mistakes, I'd love to come jam with you sometime. I'll have to figure out a way to get my drums to your house though... I guess I can pack them up. It just takes a lot. Haha.
Tell her thanks. And give your little sis a hug for me. She was a cutie. Hope you don't mind I told you owl to stay behind while I wrote this. I don't have one of my own. Maybe I'll talk my mum into getting me one. Hope to see you soon, man.
Chase Michael (reason we put our middle name and not last? haha)

Alex was just about to get tucked into bed when there was a small tapping on the window. Pepito had returned already! His mum took the letter with a smile and smacked him playfully on the forehead with it. She told him that he'd have to wait until the morning to reply. The owl needed his rest, too. Alex grumbled and snuggled into Oscuro. His mum smacked him again on the forehead and they both smiled. Sleep that night took a while to come to Alex. He just wanted to read and reply to the letter already. It was the first thing he did the next morning, even before brushing his teeth.
Hola Chase!
Hey! You called me Jay! Only my little sister calls me that. I like it though. So it is okay. It rimes rhymes with Chay. Funny. And you can use the owl I send, he's called Pepito. Mamá says to just give him some water. He's only a little bird so he gets tired fastly quickly.
My summer is going normally okay. It is being a bit lonely. I find it hard to talk to people I don't know. I don't want them to be mean. But I have Zoe, she's sweet. She's walking, too. So I forever have to run after her.
You don't live very far from my house, did you know? Maybe we could help you bring the drums? My mum sais says she will help happily. I think she just wants to meet you again. She forgets your name always and calls you Trace. She silly.

Chase didn't think he was so excited to get Alex's return owl. He had shown his mother the first letter, and she was happy for him. His dad had overheard, and wasn't too thrilled. The hand marks around his neck showed that. His dad had yelled something about Chase not deserving friends. When the owl finally came, Chase made sure to sneak the bowl of water and that neither of his parents knew. He couldn't risk his dad finding out.
Hey Jay, Glad it's okay, because I wasn't planning on stopping. I think it's cute, and it's even shorter than Alex. Pepito is drinking the water on my desk as we speak. He's a cute thing. I still haven't asked my mother for one. Maybe when we go school shopping this year.
It'd be cute to have a younger sibling running around. Babies are adorable, I can't wait to have one of my own when I'm younger. I'll spoil it like crazy.
That'd be awesome... and you don't live far? That's even better. Just pick a day, and I'll talk to my mom and work something out. Chase is kind of a different name. So I'll forgive her. haha

Alex was out food shopping with his mum and baby sister when Pepito returned. The boy was antsy to get back home already to see if he had got a reply and, thus, got impatient easily. His mum found this to her advantage though as the shopping actually got done faster - she'd send Alex dashing off for things for the trolley and he'd do it in a heartbeat, wanting to get the shopping done already. As soon as he got home, Alex tore up the stairs to his bedroom and clapped his hands happily on spotting the small bird nestled on the windowsill. His little heart skipped a beat when he read how Chase found his name Jay cute.
Hola Chase!
Chase Michael Jackson? Are your parents fans of MJ? Or was it coinsidensce coincidence? I think the name Chase suits you fine. You don't feel like a Mike to me. Mike doesn't sound very friendly. Chase does.
Babies are good, I think. Zoe poops lots. She smell bad. And there's water from her mouth always. She is learning to use the toilet. She finds it funny to pee on the floor. Its not good. No bueno. But she is learning, she try.
You can come when you want. My mum no is working now so she can help carry drums. Say when your parents let you and we can go in the muggle car. And yes, my mum says it is fine, she is fine with it before you need to ask.
My mum didn't check this letter, I hope you understand me fine.

As soon as Chase got the letter from Alex in return, he got the owl water and went downstairs to talk to his mother. Unfortunately, his mother was in the living room with his father. Chase tried to get her alone to ask her about going to Alex's, but his dad wouldn't have it. Chase got mad and just asked his mother in front of his dad if he could go to Alex's for the night or something.
After his father shouted some horrible stuff at Chase, he had walked over to him and grabbed his hair. With one quick movement, Chase's father had thrown him down and into a wall. He hit his head and was out cold.
He woke up to his mother sitting on his bed and him laying down on it. She was crying, and his father was nowhere in sight. He didn't bother asking where he was. He didn't care for one, and the other he knew his mom probably yelled, got beaten herself, and his dad went out to get drunk. Which meant that he wouldn't be home until late, and would sleep practically the entire day.
"Mail your friend back and tell him tomorrow sometime in the early morning would work."
[/b] his mother whispered before saying something about getting Chase something to eat. He wasnt' entirely sure how long he had been out for, but Pepito was still on Chase's desk waiting for him. Chase went over and wrote a quick reply to Alex. [/blockquote]
Hey Jay,
Haha Aren't you funny. No, they didn't do it on purpose, but I'll be forever made fun of for it. I don't really care, he had some nice music I guess. I like the name Chase too... my mother picked it. Kids are adorable. I can't wait to play with her when I come over. She might even take priority over you.  How about tomorrow sometime in the morning? It's kind of the best for me and I want to get out for a while soon. Would I be crashing the night there? Or just jamming? Either is fine with me. Let me know as soon as you can. I can understand you perfectly. Don't worry.

 Alex was eating dinner with his parents when Pepito returned. The bird, tired from flitting backwards and forwards all day, flopped onto the family table and in need of some rest. Alex grabbed the letter and hurriedly unravelled it to read Chase's response. His parents just shared looks and smiled. Their son seemed to have a good friend finally for him to get so excited about a simple letter.
When Alex finished reading it, he was beaming ear to ear, his meal totally forgotten. All his mum had to do was raise an eyebrow and the little Spaniard began gushing about Chase, asking them if he could come tomorrow, if they could pick him up, if they could help bring his drums and if he could stay the night. His dad nodded, an over worked, tired look on his face. His mum said yes a bit more enthusiastically. She wanted to meet Chase again.
Alex scribbled a reply right there at the dinner table and attached it to Pepito's leg after he had pinched a couple of bites from Alex's plate and some water from his cup.
Hola Chase!
Yes! Tomorrow is perfect :D My mum says we'll go and pick you up in the morning. My dad will come too. He works at lunchtime.
And bring pyjamas :D you can stay the night
