1 " I love you because you're you. Neither of us are perfect, but if we put the tiny bit of perfection that we do have together and choose to learn from either others imperfections, that makes us as a whole, perfect. It's like putting together a broken heart. One half can't be a full heart without the other half. "

5 " Go back to bed!" He ordered, his eyebrows arched. He came towards me and snatched the bag out of my hand. I would have tried to take it back, if he wouldn't have stuck his hand inside the bag and taken a chip out.

7 " Yes. I'm doing okay." I finally tore my gaze from his and stared at the floor. He put his hand on my right shoulder and pulled me closer to him. My head leaned on his right shoulder.And suddenly, I was tempted to sob, to let all my emotions out on his shoulder.But I didn't. I wasn't going to let the boy I liked see me like that. Ever. "
8 " And, for the first time I'd seen, he laughed. It wasn't one of those half laughs that he usually did; it was one of those laughs that I did. The full laugh. I loved it. I loved the way it sounded. I loved everything about it. "
9 " Go back to bed." He told me. The bright light illuminated his face and made him look angelic. I laughed to myself. What a stupid, stupid thought... "
10 " I laughed. This was fun. Savannah had been right. "
11 " I had to trust the driver.One by one, we jumped into the backseat of the van just as the door was sliding shut. "
