PART FOUR“Why do you always wear black?”“Isn’t black too much of a stretch?” Rome smirks as he answers my question with one of his. We’re lying down on my bed, facing each other. He’s in a casual crewneck long-sleeve black t-shirt, and my fingers trace his pecs through the shirt as we talk about n
Wouldn’t it have been better if I had told her that he spoke to me and said he would come back in two years?Wouldn’t it have been better if I had told her that the guys found out about her sleepwalking? That I had no way to control it, but it happened?Wouldn’t it have spared her the heartbreak, th

“Why should I believe that you’re being sincere right now?” King and Luna Daisy walk in at that moment with the food that’s now warm. They set it in front of each of us.“I have no reason to lie to you or deceive you. If I wanted, I’d go on and no one can say or do anything about it, so it’s not lik
He’s been crying too.While he set up a movie for me and got us ice cream, laughed and smiled with me through movie after movie, his heart was still breaking, and when I finally fell asleep, he came to his room, the room he shared with Helena, and mourned her alone. The ball of guilt already firmly
“That’s some messed up shit.” Richfield says.“I guess, but I’m used to it. I have an extremely high pain tolerance, so it’s nothing. It just hurt so much then, because it was my first one.
