"Hey, are you okay?"
Well, not really. You see, I'm upset but I'm probably just overreacting again. I always take things too personally, and how I feel doesn't really matter because it’s my fault anyway. I'm always saying the wrong words or doing the wrong things and I don't know how to do better. I don't know why you love me or even put up with me when I'm always messing up. And I don't know how to say all that out loud without falling apart, so…
"Yeah, I'm fine."

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
