just listen .,

^{i know it was. i knew something was wrong but i didn't do anything about it. and then i left her, damien. what kind of person does that? are you even serious? a good thing? maybe it did bring her here, but i could never look at that in a positive light. fine, i was a little unhappy. but i'd rather be moping without her than to have something like that happen to her! i can't stop blaming myself. i just feel like i could have done things differently and it would have been easier for her.}

[dami]

^{you couldn't do anything about it, noah. she wasn't willing to let anyone help her, not even you, and you know rose. when she get's something like that in her mind, that she can do it alone, it takes a flippin miracle to change her bloody mind. you left because it was the best thing to do, noah. it doesnt make you a bad person, for leaving her there, when quite frankly, what happened to her would have happened with or without you. you know it exactly like i do: her father was a ticking time bomb. what you need to focus on right now, instead of wallowing in guilt thinking you could have done things differently and produced a different outcome, is be here for her now. she's not leaving anymore walls up with you. be happy with the fact she's finally letting you in, one hundred percent. and help her now, without thinking about what you could have done to help her then, because it's in the past.}

[kari]

^{yeah, i know. she's stubborn like that. well, maybe you're right. i mean, her father is a sadistic basterd, after all. but i just can't help wondering. but i am happy that she's letting me in. it feels, well, it feels really good. and different. just because i'm angry about things in the past doesn't mean i'm not here for her now. i guess that's the difference between you and i. it's easier for you to let go of things.}

[dami]

^{you're right, he is. and he deserves to suffer for everything he did to rose. i'm glad it feels that way for you, you deserve that with her. it depends for me, noah. and even if i do end up letting them go i never forget them.}

[kari]

^{yes he does. even if i'm not the one who makes him suffer. and thanks. i did miss being around her. and i have to admit, things are nicer with her here. i know what you mean. i'll never forget this. i don't think it's possible at all.}

[dami]

^{of course their nicer. i mean... we actually have good food. i mean, good spanish food. i am so grateful. i mean... not that you didn't cook well or anything.. but... you didn't hear this from me and if you repeat it to anyone else i'll deny i said it... i was getting a little tired of macaroni and cheese.... well, neither is she. and she's also never going to forget how you were there for her without fail through this.}

[kari]

^{this is true. and hey, it's not my fault you don't know how to cook anything else. maybe if you'd bothered to try like i did. and i do like not being the only one who cooks proper meals around here. well, it's too bad she can't forget. it would be nice if she didn't have something like that to look back on. and i hope you're right.}

[dami]

^{you know what? screw you!! you're mean to me. i dont know why i'm related to you. i know, it would be nice. but it's not reality. and sooner or later, she'll have better memories to think about instead of the bad ones. psch, i know i'm right. i'm always right, what are you talking about?}

[kari]

^{i'm not being mean, i'm being truthful. sorry the truth hurts! yes, better memories. i can give her those. er, i hate to break it to you bro, but you are not always right. do we remember the incident with the super glue and the chair and the teacher? that's what i thought.}

[dami]

^{sure, noah. that's just what you want me to think so you can keep insulting me. i know you can. you know what? i refuse to talk to you if you bring up that incident.}

[kari]

^{do you really think i'm that terrible of a person? i thought you were my brother. oh, come on. you can't do something like that and then not expect people to talk about it. you bring these things on yourself, dude.}
