“I know you aren't speaking to me for some reason, but I care about you so much that I'll come here where I know I'll get spit on and abused, and I'll sit on that cold floor just to be near you!”

“here's the thing about friends, I mean REAL friends: You can't just put up a poster at school and advertise for somebody and then hope you find the perfect one. It might work, I guess, but you'd look so pathetic and desperate that no one would want to be your friend, and so it would be kind of pointless”

“See that's it. You can't try to love somebody. You just do it. ”

“Then you came and I started to feel again. I started to think there was a reason I survived, that you were my reason. But nothing's so simple, is it? I didn't protect you.
