I hate it, y'know. Those damned drugs. Why do you need them? I know it's hard, especially since the plate, well, since Ema-

But still, you can't let her be the reason you do this! You can't let that sweet little angel who loved you so much be why you hurt yourself this badly. It would kill her to see her big brother like this. Well, if she wasn't-

It's not your fault. You were just following orders.

It's not okay, but it will be.

Why don't you ever believe me?

And, no, I won't ever tell you not to put that shit in your veins, your mouth, your nose, because I can't because that would be the end and that scares me.

One of these days, it's going to take you too far and you're going to hurt yourself and I'm going to lose you. And that scares me, Reno.

I can't tell you no and I can't leave. If you were anyone else, we would have ended in a fist fight, but you- you're different. You've got a grip on all that barbed wire I have tangled in my chest and you refuse to let go so I choke if I get too far away.

And there's that song again, the one that I can't get out of my head.

Are you calling the radio stations and requesting this song because you know? It wouldn't surprise me if you were. You always could tell when I was wandering a little too far.

I don't know if it's better that way or not, but I'm at the end of your grip and choking here. Are you going to pull me back or let me go?

I really don't know what I want.
