the beginning this guy was too creepy to him have not have done something I already had a feeling about
about him yeah I don't know I don't know why I felt like that I just did I just knew that's the only creepy person she
got encounter with and then he says he dropped her off you're angry you want to kill this kid you know you want to go up
there and you want to find her and you want but you have but you point that you can't do anything it kills you man you

couldn't not want to talk to her I was already pretty sure like that was my next stage in life that's where I was
going I was leaving everything here it was the compatibility it was easy to talk to her not that only was she a very
beautiful girl she was also very cool she played video games with you she cooked she would take care of you and
that was something that was comforting you know not that I was moving up there to get like have her
take care of me like I was looking for jobs but it's good to know that she was like kindhearted enough that if you were
down on your luck she's not going to scram out so I don't know she seemed she seemed like everything I
could ever really wanted
