  No, it’s fine. You’re upset, I understand.

Thank you. I mean that. So, ice cream it is then?

  You have done it before, you can do it again. It’s just a wave of emotion.

You don't understand. She's gone. I'll never get to see her or touch her or tell her I love her. I never got to say goodbye, and I never will.

  Oh, I’m sorry…This is so unlike me but, is there anything I can do for you? A hug, ice cream, a girl’s night?

Mama used to take me out for ice cream all the time...sorry, I just called her Mama...haven't called her that in years.

  What you were doing before, faking your smile, fake it until it’s real.

I can't, Landon. I can't do shit.

  Fuck sanity. Hah, I like that. You seem pretty alright. So, I’ll be nice. What’s wrong?

My mother's dead. 

  You couldn’t control it, you said it yourself. You cannot control ones death. 

Sure, sure. All that's just dandy when your mother's still alive. But she's gone now. What the fuck am I supposed to do?

  What happen?

My mother is dead. Gone. Faded into oblivion. 

  Alright, do you have like ocd or is something bothering you or are you just crazy?

No I'm not crazy. Or at least I hope I'm not. Maybe I am. Well, fuck sanity, right?
