Tony Padilla: I try to do right by my friends, to be strong. To be true… like Hannah. But sometimes a friendship can’t take the truth. So you find yourself trying to be someone you’re not. So I promised myself that the next time things get tough for me, the next time I find myself struggling or being tested… I’m gonna think about the example she set for me… and hope that I can find the strength to do the right thing.

Tony Padilla: I’ve always been rough around the edges. Or at least that’s what people think. Maybe it’s what I want them to think. But Hannah, she saw right through all that. She was the kind of friend who challenged me, whether I liked it or not. Hannah and I had a relationship like… well, we kept each other’s secrets. Me, I try to be a good friend… in the way I know how. Or if I don’t… it eats me up inside. When we act out of anger… or fear… we can hurt people we don’t mean to hurt.

I tried to keep those secrets, but I don’t think I did the right thing. Her parents are hurting. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I just… I wanted to take care of Hannah.
