141 " Why does it say she has three hundred and twenty friends?" Josh asks. "Who has that many friends? "
― Jay Asher , The Future of Us
142 " Don't give up on me now. I'm sorry. I guess that's an odd thing to say. Because isn't that what I'm doing? Giving up? "
― Jay Asher , Thirteen Reasons Why
143 " People grow apart, and sometimes, there nothing anyone can do about it. "
144 " And as I stood there in the hallway―alone―trying to understand what had just happened and why, I realized the truth: I wasn't worth an explanation―not even a reaction. Not in your eyes. "
145 " What the hell happened to Pluto?! "
146 " Hello, boys and girls. Hannah Baker here. Live and in stereo. No return engagements. No encore. And this time, absolutely no requests. I hope you’re ready, because i’m about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you’re listening to theses tapes, you’re one of the reasons why.Now, why would a dead girl lie? "
147 " Rejection always hurts, but having it come from my best friend was the worst. "
148 " This time, for the first time, I saw the possibilities in giving up. I even found hope in it. "
149 " And at some point, the struggle becomes too much-too tiring-and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen. "
150 " You told me I wrote that poem because I was afraid of dealing with myself. And I used my mom as an excuse, accusing her of not appreciating or accepting me, when I should have been saying those words into a mirror. "
151 " Yes, it feels great to plan your life when you believe everything can turn out fine. But what about when you're shown, again and again, how little control you have over anything? No matter what I do to try to fix my future, it doesn't work. "
152 " And what about you-the rest of you-did you notice the scars you left behind? No. Probably not. Because most of them can't be seen with the naked eye. "
153 " And everyone knows you can’t disprove a rumor. "
154 " I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like interconnected websites where people show their photos and write about everything going on in their lives, like whether they found a parking spot or what they ate for breakfast.""But why?" Josh asks. "
155 " Half of them kept repeating my name, trying to get it right, while the other half laughed.But they were harmless. Fun drunks make a nice addition to any party: Not looking to fight. Not looking to score. Just looking to get drunk and laugh.I remember those guys. Like the mascots of the party."Clay! Whatcha doon here? Bah-ha-ha-ha! "
156 " To miss her each time I pull in a breath of air. To miss her with a heart that feels so cold by itself, but warm when thoughts of her flow through me. "
157 " Because what if I got to know you and you turned out to be just like they said? What if you weren’t the person I hoped you were?That, more than anything, would have hurt the most. "
158 " I'm sorry. "
159 " I waited a second. Should I?No... but I will. "
160 " No!I scream through the bars. Over the trees."No!"Do not let her leave.Do not let her leave that room!He's not coming. "
