"Say something."

"Why not?"

"Oh . . . sorry."
"It's alright. You didn't know."
"What was he like?"
"Amazing. He always hung out with me. He would help me with anything and everything. He always listened to me. He wasn't ignorant like my mother was. I miss him."
"He seemed like a wonderful person."

"That must've been horrible."
"It was and still is."
"Wait they still treat you like shit?"
". . . Yeah. But it is okay. I am fine."
"Ivy-"
"I'm fine."
