I want to tell her that I'm sorry and that I wanted to live with her. Even if you are right and I can't stay she needs to hear it from me. Maybe she won't hurt as much if she knows that I want to be with her but can't, it might help her want to get better." </span>He let out a soft and shook his head.<span style="color: #0059b3">"I can't play with Kalian, he's lazy and only wants to read.
