"I don't know why I reacted that way, Dad. I just said all those things to Rush." Lake admitted in front of his father's tombstone.
That's where his feet brought him. He expects that if he tells his father what happened between him and Rush a while ago, the tension he's feeling will decrease.
But he wasn't succeeding.
"Ahh!" He rubbed his face with his hands. "I'm stupid, stupid, stupid. Why, Dad? Why does every time I see him, all I can envision and think is how far we are from each other? I feel like, I don't even have the right to be his friend. I don't know, Dad. I hate this feeling. Why do I always feel like I'm nothing compared to everyone."
"I tried to do what you told me, Dad. You know, that ‘believing-in-yourself’ thing. I swear I tried. Sometimes, I succeed. But a lot of times, I fail."
