“There’s a real bonding in someone beating the crap out of you. - Rolly”

“You really get to meet people on such a personal level. There's a real bonding in someone beating the crap out of you.”

“This is a 911? You know you only text that when someone is dead or dying. You scared the crap out of me.”

“It's a big deal when you finally get the chance to do the one thing you want to do -need to do- more than anything. It can kind of scare the crap out of you.”

“Only a real asshole takes liberties with someone else's car stereo. That's serious.”

“That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking.”

“You couldn't just pick and choose at will when someone depended on you, or loved you. It wasn't like a light switch, easy to turn on or off. If you were in, you were in. Out, you were out.”
