1 " Jade, you’re doing the exact same thing you did after the pool that night. Don’t you know how to do this?”“Do what?”“Give a person a hug.”“I’m not much of a hugger.” “Well, you need one, so don’t just stand there. Put your damn arms around me. "

2 " Jade, you know I’m not safe out there.” He says it as if he’s really in danger. “Did you see all those girls running around in towels and robes?”I roll my eyes. “I swear. The insults are coming, my friend. So tell your ego to get ready. "
3 " I’m sure I’ve confused him with my request, but I want him to kiss me. And I want a real kiss, not a friend kiss. I’m still committed to the friends-only agreement, but sometimes a girl just wants a damn kiss. Is that so wrong? "
4 " He made me feel wanted and needed and not at all alone. I don’t understand how someone can affect me that way, but I don’t want that someone to go away. "
5 " This seems like some type of romantic mood lighting.” I turn to him. “And I can tell you right now that you’re not getting sex tonight.”He laughs and puts his hand on my shoulder. “Tonight? So you’d consider it some other night? Okay. That works for me. "
6 " He smiles and pulls me onto his leg to sit. “Why would you want to be alone? Alone sucks.” I can’t argue because it’s true. Alone does suck. But it’s all I know. When you lose faith in people, alone is your only option. "
7 " I want so badly to be more than friends with him, but if that’s all my broken soul can handle, I’ll take it. I don’t want this boy out of my life. "
8 " The truth is ugly and painful. It's uncomfortable. It makes you question things. It creates uncertainty. People don't want that. They want to hear a version of the truth that meets the expectations they've already conjured up in their own head. "
9 " But we shouldn’t end it the way it ended. That was someone else’s end. We need our own end. "
