“What is wrong with you, bro?” "For starters, I just buried my sister," I deadpanned, not looking away from my phone. “But you’re here, aren’t you? You came here because you wanted to forget. And now, you’re just idling by a corner, doing nothing. You should join the party, man.” “I don’t want to,” I muttered, turning off my phone and sliding it into my pocket. “I didn’t think that you were going to be here. If I’d known, trust me, this place would have been the last place you would have seen me.”

“Now! I never want to see you again!” I got out without hesitating. The rain hit my face like the rite of a release. The sports car roared, a sharp scream, and tore away.

Did you really think that I liked you and wanted to spend the rest of my life with you? You fascinated me at first and I wanted you for a little while, but you just had to get pregnant didn't you?
