“Talk. We are going to talk first. I want to see you smile and laugh. I want to know what your favorite show was when you were a kid and who made you cry at school and what boy band you hung posters of on your wall. Then I want you naked in my bed again.”

“Anyone who meets you and doesn't want to get to know you and be part of your life is stupid. I saw it when I was just a kid.""No. You thought I was a vampire and you wanted to be my friend so I wouldn't eat you.""Well, that too. But I found out soon enough you weren't a blood sucker and I still licked you.”

“You want what you can’t have. I see it in your eyes. Thepain that fills your nights is because of my pack of lies. I’veopened up the door for you to walk away. There’s a betterpath for you even though I want you to stay. I’ve broken therules, I’ve veered from the path but when I met you I knewto save you was worth the wrath. Let me leave now beforeit’s too late. Let me leave now before you know what I amand your love becomes hate.”

“I'm not good for you. I don't know why you make me want you so bad. I was angry with myself when I said all that earlier. I was mad because I wanted you in a way I'd never experienced before. Before you, I just wanted to excel in football and school. I wanted my parents to be proud of me. But now, I want other things too. You get to me in a way I don't understand”

“I realised you owned me one night in this room. I was singing to you and you were sleeping. You made a little noise in your sleep like you were distressed and I panicked and ran to your side. You grabbed my arm in your sleep and pulled it up against your face and went back to sleep. I didn't want to ever move.”

“I don't want to beg or promise you things I can't give you. There isn't much of me to give, but what I have is yours. This is all up to you, Sadie. If you want me, I'm yours. If you can't do this, then I'll walk away and leave you alone. I swear.”

“I don’t want you to just be mytutor. I want you to be the girl I look for in the halls everymorning and save a seat for in the cafeteria. I want you to bethe one waiting for me when I walk off the field at my games.I want you to be the one I pick up the phone to call just tomake me smile.”
