I loved Jacob. Everyone did.. I still look up his case after all this time to see if they ever found out who it was who decided to wipe my friends existence off the face of the planet.. Im sorry I couldn't have been there to take the bullet for you Jacob. My memories of you will never fade. I wish I could go back to LBC knowing I could still walk down 16th to find you hanging out in front of your apts.. I miss you <3 && I'm sorry for the wrong this guy did to you.. But know when I see you in heaven one day we'll still be homies.. Not even death can change the love I have for you Jacob..
