"Baby, when you left I lost that part of me. Why's that so hard to believe? Come back baby cause we belong together." If smaddy see mi now them woulda think mi heartbroken. I lay on Tristen's bed as mi a watch the youtube video and eat ice cream. Tristen go weh from afta 12 and that a the last mi hear from him.

"Ohh, mi did deh innah e bathroom a peepee."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked raising my eyebrows even tho he can't see.

The line went silent and then I heard shuffling.
