It was a really tough week because I wasnt here.

Honestly, I dont know.
I have no idea, he said with an air of annoyance toward her absence.
Yes, it probably broke her heart, just like it broke our heart.
Yes, she was probably shocked and stunned and didnt know what to say, just like us.
But honestly, I have no idea, because she wasnt there with us.
It was hard to read.
She added, I want to be supportive yet I’m so disappointed.
I keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Dont have a choice.
I was basically like, No.
I really just do not feel comfortable with it.
It was just terrible, Charlie said.

I was here in my room when I got the call about Jerry, said Butler, choking up.
I literally couldnt wrap my head around any of that.
I felt like someone had just died.
Marshall found out via Twitter, immediately called Butler, and the two bawled together.
I would have snatched him up if I ever would have known about any of this stuff.
I feel like it would have been worse than him going to jail, Marshall said with passion.
I dont care how famous you are, how much money you got, how much people love you.
But its literally like your family.
How are you just gonna hate your family?
Like, I cannot, and I wont.
I cant turn my back on him because he was there for me when I needed it.
