21 " I want it to be better than okay. You deserve better than okay. "
― Tammara Webber , Easy (Contours of the Heart, #1)
22 " there's not a boy on the planet worth this amount of angst. I know; I used to be one "
23 " Let me tell you girls a story, short and sweet. In high school, I was a junior varsity cheerleader dating a senior who was up for football scholarships. I'd slept with him several times willingly. One night I wasn't in the mood, but he was. So he held me down and forced me. The few people I told about it - including my best friend - pointed out what would happen to him if I told. They stressed the fact that I hadn't been a virgin, that we were dating, that we'd had sex before. So I kept quiet. I never even told my mother. That boy put bruises on my body. I was crying and begging him to stop and he didn't. That's called rape, ladies. "
24 " I was sure you 'd dropped the class, which made me selfishly ecstatic. Without even knowing i was doing it, i started looking for you on campus. "
25 " She drew herself up and crossed her arms over her chest. “So Buck can enjoy sitting in a cell contemplating how he blew up his life. That dickwad hurt two people sitting at this table. And you’re worried about who’ll look bad if they tell? Screw that. Dean and D.J. and Kennedy and every frat boy on this campus can all go fuck themselves. Are we sisters or not? "
26 " He swallowed, closing his eyes and inhaling slowly. I knew he would be all rational and do-the-right-thing and he would push me away again, and I was determined not to give him that chance. But then his eyes flashed open and he said, "Fuck it," pushing me against the door, slamming his forearms on either side of my head and kissing me mmore forcefully than I'd ever been kissed "
27 " Good God, what did he not remember? "
28 " Alarmed, I realized what my visceral reaction implied: jealousy. Over a guy I barely knew, with whom I’d exchanged more saliva than sentences. "
29 " So I don't want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly. "
30 " No importaba lo que le sucedía a alguna persona individual, la vida pasaba en otros lugares. La primera vez que Kennedy me besó, estaba a la razón de que al mismo tiempo, otras personas se separaban. Y la noche que Kennedy rompió mi corazón, en algún lugar —tal vez justo allí en mi dormitorio, otras personas se enamoraban. "
31 " I didn't know much about Lucas beyond his striking good looks and his ability to beat the shit out of someone. "
32 " His protective wall had become a fortress holding him hostage rather than giving sanctuary. "
33 " When I registered for econ, I had no idea that I'd be in for this level of reality-show drama. It's like a big fat bonus. "
34 " Elegir estar contigo no es una difícil decisión Jacqueline... Es fácil, increíblemente fácil. "
35 " The world an author creates and the characters that inhabit it may come from her imagination alone, but few authors can wrestle the story that emerges into shape without help. "
36 " It looked like a love poem, and I was jealous of whoever inspired the sort of devotion he must have felt to make those words so permanent "
37 " He gathered me into his arms and kissed me, one hand tangled in my hair and the other caressing down my back, our hearts pulsing out a cadence that the musician in me translated into a concert of lust. "
38 " Love is not the absence of logic but logic examined and recalculated heated and curved to fit inside the contours of the heart "
39 " I knew Chaz was a good guy, if misguided and gullible. He’d swallowed Buck’s side of what happened between us, had argued with Erin that maybe I was drunk that night and didn’t remember everything clearly. He was probably one of those boys to whom rapists were ugly men who jumped out of bushes, assaulting random girls. Rapists weren’t your nice-guy coworker, or your frat brother, or your best friend. Maybe it never occurred to him that his best friend was capable of ripping a girl’s self-confidence away in the span of five minutes. "
40 " I nodded again, holding onto his words like they were redemption "
