I can barely begin to fathom the words on the screen
Lauren: Ashton's dead..he was 'murdered' last night....walking home from the store...I can't believe someone would do such a thing to such a sweet person...
'I just talked to him yesterday...he promised me we would talk today...I can't believe he's gone...'

Lauren:...yeah...I know how it feels, but it's even worse because he was like a father figure to me..he had to take care of all of us, make sure Mom stopped drinking...Harry...making sure he got his work done...
I'm crying by now..
' I gotta go....homework is still important...see you? '

Lauren: You didn't want to jinx me so you didn't finish that text, smart....but yeah, see you around Mike..
