RayOlympic
I was going through some family issues he says that's why I didn't tell you I needed space
pulls RayOlympic closer Family issues? That's a fucking understatement, isn't it? I remember how fucked up your family was.
RayOlympic

pauses, their eyes softening You think I didn't notice? You think I didn't fucking care? I was there, RayOlympic. I was right by your side through all of it.
RayOlympic
he chuckles I know
releases RayOlympic's arm Well, maybe next time, you'll learn to communicate like a fucking adult, instead of hiding behind your bullshit excuses.
RayOlympic
