The Continuation: The Soloist

Steve Lopez is trying everything in his power to see that Nathiel is recovering in some way. He often questions himself on Nathaniel's condition and if he's getting better. Nathaniel is now able to trust Steve to a greater extent, he calls him when he needs something or has a question, Steve in someway has become Nathaniel's crutch. During times of frustration Steve often fins himself wondering if there is anyway he can detach himself to Nathaniel's grasp but he soon realizes that as much as he'd like to leave Nathaniel when the story is over there's no way he could bring himself to do that. Nathaniel is now part of his life and he's made a difference. The condition that Nathaniel lives in has become very nerving to Steve and he chooses to write about the condition of Skid Row, an industrialized area during the day but once buisness hours are over it becomes a place of torment, proverty, rapes, and chaos. The story gets the attention of the mayor of Los Angeles and he promises to try his best to change the condition and get more help groups in the area. Meanwhile Steve is trying his best to make Nathaniel to move into his own apartment. Nathaniel makes small moves into moving into the apartment like leaving his cart there or taking private lessons this a musician from the Philharmonic member. Nathaniel seems to be making progress day by day.
