They worst part is, he never really got to be a boy. Manned up form the start because he was the male that was consistent. He hated it. Wanted to go out a play, not pay for others mistakes.
In a way they were his mistakes too. Someone had to be responsible for once. He isn't a boy, but he isn't a man either. He knows what a man isn't, but doesn't know what a man is. So he is himselfYep.owever he never felt as if he matured he just learned how too feel. And that's all he's been able to go on.

Breathe.
Better.
Back to life.
Back better be back.
Boy buts in and bellows "Butts!"
