Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Stop making excuses for me.” I interrupt her before she can say anything. “I ran you over because I was drunk and too stupid to think anything bad could happen.
She killed herself a month later, inside the school. You never heard anything about it because my father convinced my grandfather to cover it up. She left a note, Kennedy, explaining why, and I was at the top of the list.
For the first time in my life, I admit that I’m ashamed of who I am.
So you caused one girl to commit suicide and nearly killed another while driving cause you were drunk
And this is the first time you’re admitting that
Sir you need some serious help
What is wrong with you
Like seriously
Something is deeply wrong with you
“Sometimes I can’t help but be happy you hit me with your car that night.” She shrugs her shoulders and looks at her hands. My arms open for her fall back into them where she belongs. I have a hard time stopping the smile that forms on my lips. “I feel like a deadbeat, fuck up for saying it, but me too, Ken.”
No seriously what is wrong with you people
Ma’am you were hospitalized and broke your leg because of his stupidity and negligence
And you’re happy about that??
I’m going to get a call telling me you’re dead. I don’t want to get that call.
Sorry to break it to you, but nobody cares enough to call you
Who do you think is gonna call you? His mother who doesn’t know you exist? Or wait, is it his father who you think is going to kill him? Maybe his friends who loathe you?
Does that ring a fucking bell to you, or are you too stupid to know you completely fucked up my life by coming into it?”
Kennedy will be okay. She has to be. If she’s not, then I’m never going to be either.
Then maybe try not ignoring your gf in a situation where she’s near a guy you know is doing his level best to rape her?
Idk just an idea! Like she just got raped by a guy who has assaulted her before and whom she’s absolutely terrified of, and you’re all oh no I cheated on my gf I’m never gonna be okay! I think that’s on you kid
The car accident, Craig’s first assault, and now, this blood is on my hands. I’m to blame. Ever since I came into Kennedy’s life, nothing good has happened to her.
Ok I hate you but not all of this is on you
But good on you for finally recognizing that hitting someone with your car is really really bad! Proud of this character development
“It all started with the accident, an accident that should’ve never happened and only did because I was reckless.
No I’m genuinely so proud of you for realizing hitting and severely injuring someone with your car is bad
Would love to see some acknowledgment that we should not be drinking and driving though!
And really drinking in the first place but one of those is a lot more severe and I think we need to take baby steps here
“Graham, you need to know something. Nothing in my life has been your fault.
He HIT YOU with his CAR. How is that not his fault??
Ma’am did you suffer a head injury or something when he nearly murdered you? Is that what’s happening here?
I cannot fathom how somebody who’s been repeatedly described as smart could be this idiotic
