Miles? Are you awake?

. . .

“ Well.

  I’m not dead, am I? ”

. . .

You’re alive Miles.

. . .

“ Yes.

  God, yes I know I’m alive Toby. ”

. . .

Oh.

. . .

“ Sometimes, I don’t even know whether to laugh or cry that you don’t bloody get my jokes. ”

. . .

I’m sorry.

. . .

“ Don’t say-

  Okay, just okay. ”

. . .

How…

How are you, you and Makayla?

. . .

“ She’s...

  She's all the way on the other side of the world Toby. ”

. . .

 Oh.

She really loved you…

I don’t understand how-

. . .

“ Don’t Tobias.

  Please don’t. ”

. . .

That was how I felt about Aaron, Miles.

But I let it go and you should too.

. . .

“ Tobias. I’m not in the mood for another sappy Aaron story.

   Please. ”

. . .

Sorry…

I was just trying to help…

. . .

“ God Toby, don’t ever say that you’re sorry…

  You know the kind of person that Makayla is right? ”

. . .

Yes.

She was the only person who was kind to me.

. . .

“ Oh God.

  This sounds so sappy but she was my pill Toby.

  She helped me kept my cool. ”

. . .

I understand that feeling.
