just wouldn’t be worth it and he grew resigned to knowing that his own life just wouldn’t

having you, don’t you see that? We are meant for each other, I knew that the second I saw
you leaning on the locker, you know it, you felt it too, tell me you didn’t, tell me right
now you don’t feel the same way? Go on, tell me!”
“I can’t… shit you know that.”
