23 " See that's exactly why I don't want a dog." "Why?" "Because it'll just die." "Everybody dies, Brooklyn." Like that makes it okay or something. "
24 " Yellow daises tell me Brooklyn's been here.His flower girl.I brought nothing.Just myself.How fitting.Seems like that's all I've got anymore. "
25 " Asshole.I don't get it.Was he trying to punish himself?No. He didn't punish himself.He punishedhis bandmates,his family,a whole school.A school that's had more than its fair share of grief.I pace the floor, my heart racing while I resist the urgeto throw more stuff around.Finally, I put on my running shoes.I'll run until I can't run anymore. "
26 " The whole school was in shock when he died.Just six months earlier,another guy from school died.Everyone went on about too much tragedy.Want to know about tragedy?Come to my house.A year later, tragedy is still here.Every damn day, it's here. "

32 " She trusted him. She had faith in him. And he left her forever. Something tells me she's not forgetting that anytime soon. "
33 " Another long run, hoping to put distance between me and everything else. The farther, the better. Only problem is, the distance is just temporary, because no matter how far I go, I always have to come back. "
34 " How many days was I like that? Pretending to listen, but not hearing a word? Pretending to care when I hated it all? Pretending to live when I was dying inside? "
35 " You more than anyone should be in my dreams. "
36 " Right and wrongBlack and whiteAnd many shadesOf grayI want color in my lifeColor in my dreams. "
37 " Best friends are together through it all. Like soil & roots. One needing the other through chilling winters, scorching summers, through hailstorms & lightning Strikes. They weather it together. "
38 " Motion is always preferableto stagnation.When you move,things happen.You’re aliveStay still too long,And it´s hard to get moving again. "
39 " Thank you for a lullaby last night. Thank you for the boy who sang it. "
