I’m glad I held out to find my passion, ya know? To find what I love and can’t live without.”
If anyone else’s tune doesn’t go with yours, it’s just background noise.
Don’t ever apologize for wanting me to be yours.
Why does it feel like my whole fucking life was spent waiting for something, even though I didn’t know it until now?”
“You lead and I’ll follow, but I might trip up along the way.”
It’s like you filled this place in my world that I didn’t know needed to be filled.
“You’re the only risk I’ve ever taken, Nick. Nothing else could hurt me except you.”
In a perfect world, that would be all that mattered. Nick wasn’t stupid, though. He knew love didn’t always fix everything.
“First of all, don’t go all Neanderthal on me. Nick’s hot. You’re my best friend. Calling him hot doesn’t mean anything. Second, awww, you called him your boyfriend!
I had this dream. I was riding my bike. I don’t even know where I was, but it was beautiful. There was someone on the back, their legs squeezing me, arms around me. We were just fucking going. Flying. I thought about how free I felt out there. Like the whole fucking world was waiting for me to explore it. I could go anywhere or do anything. I had someone I loved riding with me, willing to go wherever the fuck I took them, and all I could think about was the fact that if I didn’t fight, I couldn’t have this.
“I was driving forever in the dream, when suddenly I was at a dead-end. I sat there, knowing I had to go left or right. I didn’t know which way to go. I assumed it was to get surgery or not...left or right, and I couldn’t fucking decide. Then the person on the back of the bike said, it’s a crossroads, Bryce. Which way are you going to go? I didn’t let myself think about what the voice sounded like. I didn’t let myself remember what I knew the second I heard it... It wasn’t Christi’s voice, Nick. It wasn’t a female voice at all. It was a guy. I think it was you.”
Fuck, I want you so goddamn much, it’s like a part of me. Something I can’t live without, like my heart or lungs.”
Why does everything have to be so black and white? Boy or girl? Gay or straight? Why does everything have to have a reason? Maybe some things don’t have reasons. Maybe they’re destined to be for no other reason than the fact that they are.”
The direction they went in didn’t matter. The only thing that did was the fact that they’d travel the bumpy roads, twists and turns, rises and falls by each other’s sides.
