1 " And it didn't matter. It wouldn't make a fucking difference if I dropped to the floor and started crying like a baby. No point in panicking. No point in breaking. No point in anything at all. "

2 " Cam shook his head. 'Do you ever listen to how much crazy shit comes out of your mouth?' 'Nope.' I hooked my fingers into his waistband and pulled him closer. 'Nobody does. That's why I remain undiagnosed.' "
3 " I was his heartbeat. I was his fucking universe. Now I was, but soon I wouldn't be. I would miss that, miss being important. I would miss having someone. "
4 " Time was meaningless, except each moment was a countdown to the end. "
5 " You're my heartbeat, Brady. "
6 " But suddenly I was dreaming of cock. Fisting it, sucking it, riding it, in glorious fucking Technicolor. "
7 " 'You're like starlight,' Cam whispered, and his teeth scraped up my jaw. I shivered. 'I could lose myself in you.' "
8 " Grief should have been all-consuming. I hated myself that it wasn't. But sometimes I forgot. Jesus, how could I fucking forget? Sometimes I went for minutes without remembering my dad was dead, but that whole time it was regrouping so it could hit me all over again. "

Not girls like any of us had ever seen in the flesh, but those girls in magazines with huge tits and puffed-up lips and sleepy eyes, like they'd been fucked hard all night and they were mostly pouting now because the guy finally pulled out. We talked about those girls a lot. And it was all talk. "
11 " After girls we talked about the officers, and which ones hated us most that week, and how we never did anything to deserve it, and they were just assholes, and if they didn’t have those stripes on their shoulders, they wouldn’t be so tough. Man-to-man we could take them. That was all talk too, I guess. "
12 " But shit, I've never been that complicated. Physical pain gets a physical response. Everything else is nobody's fucking business. "
13 " you’re too angry to be a nihilist. "
14 " Love might have been an ever-fixéd mark, but it wasn’t enough to make a difference. "
15 " What’s the difference between a lie and a secret? "
16 " That sounds like a plan. "
