pauses, a hint of sadness in his eyes Yeah, well, that was a damn shame. Still miss her to this day.
MatrixScary
Remember that huge house you lived in? And how everyone called you a hero because you were good at basketball?
smirks Yeah, well, I ain't no hero. Just a guy who knows how to shoot a ball through a hoop. But hey, if you're gonna start kissing up to me, I ain't gonna complain.
MatrixScary
You’re better than that
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, I may act tough and all, but deep down I'm just a lonely dude trying to figure things out.
MatrixScary
It’s okay to feel sad
looks down, voice cracking Yeah, I know I put on this tough guy act, but it's hard being alone all the time.
MatrixScary
If you want I can help you not be alone anymore

MatrixScary
