We used to speak on our struggles all the time but smile for the fans.So many people hurt us again and again but we had each other. I don’t know what to do now. Id be a hypocrite if I told you not to, and I go and do the same. Honestly Lucas it hasn’t set in yet because I refuse to believe you are gone. Heart ripped to shreds. God send him back here. Please I’m broken over here”
