5 " We're still in the same room, you weirdo.Stop crying.G(the blonde who is really uncomfortable with large displays of emotion) "
6 " I want to be a hero, Ava. Or really rich. I think it's easy to make yourself a hero when you can pay for it. I know you fantasize about accepting your Oscar and thanking your parents after falling on the steps to the podium, but I fantasize about meeting a source in a parking garage and putting my entire family at risk.I WANT TO BE GREAT, AVA! I WANT TO WRITE THINGS THAT CHANGE THE WIORLD AND WALK INTO ROOMS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO FEAR ME! "

16 " I hate that I am my worst self around the two people who are the nicest to me. I’m unable to keep my barriers up when I’m around my parents, so all the ugly comes out. Even when I’m mad, I can feel the guilt spreading through my body, but the mad overrides it. "
17 " Everyone always talks about the effort you have to put into a romantic relationship or a marriage, but why would a friendship be any different? You are always going to be more important to me than some random boy I marry. (At least until the silver wedding anniversary.) "
18 " You wore Doc Martens and purple hair. I wore my insecurity on a button-up. it wasn't meant to be. But then the unthinkable happened. I made you laugh.
