Things can’t stay the same forever, Annemarie. People change; they grow up. That’s the way it’s supposed to happen.

You were gullible,” he said. And then, “When you were really little, you hated carrots. You wouldn’t eat them. But then I told you that if you ate carrots, you’d get X-ray vision. And you...

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. a burn for a burn. a life for a life. that’s how all this got started. and that’s how it’s going to end.

There have been other girls. But they weren’t her.

people who don’t face their problems head-on are the worst kind of cowards.

i worried he’d let go, but he didn’t. We held hands like this the whole rest of the way home.

How do you regret one of the best nights of your entire life? You don’t. You remember every word, every look. Even when it hurts, you still remember.

But what now? What am I supposed to do with all these feelings?

When she leaned forward to mess with the AC vents, her hair brushed against my leg and it was really soft. It made remember all over again. It made it hard to stay pissed and...

He came up and kissed me on my forehead, and before he stepped away, I closed my eyes and tried hard to memorize this moment. I wanted to remember him exactly as he was right...

And for a second, just for a second I forget. I forget that this isn’t real.

Life is sexist. If you were to get pregnant, you’re the one whose life changes. Nothing of significance changes for the boy. You’re the one people whisper about. I’ve seen that show, Teen Moms. All...

It was over before I even had a chance.

He took a step closer. “I don’t know if I’ll ever get you out of my system, not completely. I have this… feeling. That you’ll always be there. Here.” Conrad clawed at his heart and...

I suppose you can’t hold on to old things just for the sake of holding on.

There hadn’t been one specific moment. It was like gradualy waking up. You go from being asleep to the space between dreaming and awake and then into consciousness. It’s a slow process, but when you’re...

It was the promise of maybe, maybe one day.

It’s the imperfections that make things beautiful
