61 " It’s not like I didn’t have friends in high school. I did. But I was always careful to be the Cassie I thought they expected. Happy, easy-going, nonthreatening. Smart but not intimidating. Pretty but not desired. The one who acted as the go-between when someone liked a boy, but never the one the boy liked. "

62 " I'm more than happy to fuck off, but if it makes a difference, I wasn't going to talk about dicks. I'm far more interested to hear more about your poor neglected vagina. How's she been? We haven't had a face-to-face in a while. "
63 " Yep. Nineteen years of trying to be everything to everyone and ending up as no one to myself. "
64 " It doesn't have to be like this.""Then what should it be like, huh? Please, tell me. After all, you're the one who always makes decisions about our relationship. How do you want to play it this time? Friends? Fuck buddies? Enemies? Oh, wait, I know. Why don't you play the piece of shit who broke my heart, and I'll be the woman who doesn't want anything to do with him outside the rehearsal room? How would that be? "
65 " What self-respecting American teenager gets to the ripe old age of nineteen without getting high at least once? "
66 " He has one of those faces that stops you when you’re flipping through a magazine. Not textbook handsome, but mesmerizing. Like a book cover that begs you to flip it open and get lost in the story. "
67 " Cassie, I want to be with you. Always. If that involves us being naked and making love in a hundred different ways, every day for the rest of our lives, that’s fantastic. If it involves us sitting and talking, wearing barbed wire and cast-iron body suits, that’s fantastic, too. I just want you. Now. A week from now. A year. A decade. Whenever you’re ready. What I want is never going to change. It’s you. Just you. Naked or clothed, doesn’t matter to me. "

68 " There’s no way in the world I can concentrate while he’s basically flaunting his penis in front of me. What the hell is he thinking? "
69 " but the only consistent thing about him is his unpredictability. "
70 " Just moving. Like most of our time together, we’re treading water. Trying not to drown. "
71 " I wonder if he ever looks at me and notices how different I am. How jaded I’ve become. How fragile. I wonder if he ever thinks that after all the effort he’s gone through to be with me again, I’m no longer worth it. "
72 " Wrong part of my body to put your hands on, sweetheart. Don't you want to give some relief to the part of me that's been hard as fuck ever since I read your stupid diary? Don't you want to feel the hell you're putting me through? You want to touch a cock so much? Go right ahead. Put your fucking hands on me and put me out of my misery. "
73 " Are you auditioning for Romeo?” He shakes his head. “No way. I’d have to have my balls removed to play that pussy.” “Hey, that’s no way to talk about one of the greatest romantic heroes of all time.” “He’s not a hero, Taylor, he’s a limp, fickle dick who confuses lust with love and kills himself over a chick he’s just met. "
74 " I take the lighter and resist the urge to hug him. Tristan says I can be a little too touchy-feely. Actually, his term is touchy-fucky but I modify it to make myself feel better. "
75 " I feel like I'm in a disaster movie, and that belt is the iceberg that's going to sink the good ship Orgasm. It must be destroyed. "
76 " The thing is, if people were books, Ethan would be a bestseller. A sexy, intelligent page-turner you’d find hard to put down, even after it reduced you to a sobbing mess. "
77 " He’s a truly terrible dancer,” Ruby says. “It looks like he’s having a vertical seizure. "
78 " He’s untouchable. He’s freaking Teflon. "
79 " We just stand there for a while. Breathing each other in. Being. Still not fixed, but far less broken. "
80 " All of a sudden, I’m really tired. I feel like I’m always fighting to be with him, while he’s fighting to push me away. "
