I remember when the bullies saw the weakness in you. They bullied you, and I had to do something, so I fought for you cause I knew you couldn’t. You were weak like me but I had a little power in me to fight, honestly I’m always rooting for you, I’ll always want to be there to help you off your knees.

I remember when I first met Brandon. It was love at first sight! I Ask him to take me on a 4-wheeler ride, we was gone till midnight! After that we was with each other every day. A couple months later we moved in together. If anybody would get smart with him, or did him wrong, I would get smart with them!
