Why do you still feel the need to punish yourself for something that was out of your control?

He knows exactly what I need even when I don__. I__ not sure how he knows me so well, but he does. He knows that when I try to push him away, it means I need him even more. And when I say I don__ want to talk, it means I really need to. I__ crazy that way and other guys would__e given up on me months ago. But Garret__ still here and he isn__ going anywhere. Just thinking about that makes me feel like the luckiest girl alive.

Yes and no. I thought maybe there could be something more, but I couldn__ deny that I still wanted you in the dirtiest ways._ He ran his thumb along the seam of my jeans. __hen I watched you crumble. I never expected you to get that call from the doctor and watching you break made me see a whole other side of you. I want to be your knight in shining armor. To take away the pain. I__e never felt like this before and whatever we have, I don__ want to lose it. I don__ care if it__ just starting and may be the most fucked up thing. I just want to give it a try. So please call me?

But the moment I saw you, I knew there was something more. There was something behind those big, beautiful brown eyes that I had to get to know, and, damn girl you__e kept me in a trance ever since.

I__ a fan of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Brunette and doesn__ mind a guy that__ an animal? Hell yeah.

When we__e good, we__e really good, and when we__e bad, it__ really bad. Two people that have that much passion must be doing something awfully right.

Now let__ go back to your place and bake shit and watch Harry Potter.

The accusation raises my hackles. __hy? Because I__ a player?_ Indignation makesmy tone harsher than I intend for it to be. __ave you ever thought that maybe it__because I haven__ met the right girl yet? But no, I couldn__ possibly want someone tocuddle with andwatch movies with, someone who wears my jersey and cheers for meat games, and cooks dinner with me the way you and Garrett_

I think love is different for each person, but I think the one thing it has in common is putting the other person's feelings before yours. If you're so worried about Libby loving you, isn't that the same thing?

For the first time in a long time a bit of something I was unfamiliar with crept up inside me.If I hadn__ known better, I__ have thought it was hope.

Maybe we were too broken to put back together. Maybe we__ been too broken to ever put together in the first place.

I had witnessed his pain in motion; the way he had stroked over the sea fueled by something so similar to what fueled me. The agony he couldn__ hide from his caramel-colored eyes. I was drawn to whatever was broken in him, probably in the same way that he was drawn to what was broken in me.

I plucked one plump black olive from the plate and put it in my mouth immediately before saying, __ell, I feel bad for you, then.___hy__ that?___ecause I love antipasto.___ guess I don__ understand why that__ a problem.___ecause,_ I emphasized, cutting into a piece of salmon. __ don__ like to share._ I quickly slipped the smoked meat in my mouth before winking at him. His smile finally met his eyes again. __ood to know, because I__ not the sharing kind of guy either._ He winked back at me, but it was so blatantly comical that I couldn__ help the laugh that flew out of my mouth. __omething tells me you__e not talking about cured meats,_ I said before slapping his hand away from my olives. __ knew you were smart.__ swallowed the olive I__ snatched from his hand and glared at him, while mouthing, __ine.___unny, that__ what I was thinking, too,_ he said, looking directly at me.

Feel free to scream, whisper, and everything in between. I want to hear it all.

My guitar's name was Liz. As in, short for Elizabeth, Queen of England. She was a lady.Don't judge.

Sometimes the best things in life are unexpected.

I smiled and rolled onto my side, bringing my arms around her. She wiggled against me, letting me spoon her, and I swept some sweaty hair away from her neck to kiss beneath her ear. __ow do you like your new tattoo?___ love it. It makes me want to be a bird.___ou already are a bird.___ don__ get to fly.___ou fly all the time. Haven__ you noticed?

Oh, Moon, upon me shine-Give back his life, instead take mine.Send back his heart, return his breath.Please release him from his death.Give back his eyes, bring back his voice.I willingly have made this choice.Hand back his plans, restore his mind,I willingly grant you mine.Oh, Moon, Oh, Stars, upon me glow-Tell the river to let go.
