been able to shave my legs.

since we got out. You got to give him more time.” He sounded so confident then that I felt a small part of me give. I believed him. “Oh, man.” I could practically see him running a hand through his hair. “Never be ashamed of what you can do, you hear me? If you hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t be here.” The room settled back into a peaceful quiet, save for Chubs’s wheezing snores. “You feeling better?” he asked. “Need anything from Betty?” She must have shaken her head, because I felt the bed shift again as Liam stood. “I’ll be right here. Just wake me up if you change your mind, okay?” I didn’t hear him say good night. But instead of lying down, I saw him sit, back flush against the bed, watching the door and anything that might come through it.

“He’s so busy looking inside people to find the good that he misses the knife they’re holding in their hand.”

When a girl cries, few things are more worthless than a boy. Having two of them just meant that they stared at each other helplessly instead of at me. Chubs and Liam stood, up to their ears in awkward, until Chubs finally reached out and patted my head like he would have patted a dog.

LMFAO

Liam leaned down so his face was level with mine, so close that our foreheads were nearly touching. “We want you,” he said, his hand slipping through my hair to cup the back of my neck. “We wanted you yesterday, we want you today, and we’ll want you tomorrow. There’s nothing you could do to change that. If you’re scared and you don’t understand your crazy abilities, then we’ll help you understand—but don’t think, not for one second, that we would ever just leave you.”

HEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

“Try to imagine where we’d be without you, darlin’,” he said, quietly, “and then maybe you’ll see just how lucky we got.”

OHHHH MY GOOOOODDDD/POS WUGSBAJANANSN

Sometime around five in morning, just as I was about to give into the fuzz covering my brain, I felt someone run a light finger down the back of my neck. I rolled over onto my other side, and Liam was there, half-awake. “You were muttering to yourself,” he whispered. “You okay?”
