He looks so hurt. And sad. I suddenly hate myself so much I want to crawl out of my own skin, sink into the floor, disappear forever. So much of me wants to say, Stop, no, I take it back, but the rest of me is fighting, fighting, fighting. And all that battle inside me is exploding out in these horrible words to this boy who’s been nothing but good to me. I am the worst person. I am cruel and empty and cold.
This is another scene where perspective is key. Suze is so awful in this scene - bitchy and manipulative - but because you're inside her head, you understand why (I hope!). But if this scene was from Matt's perspective, even though he's trying so hard to be understanding (so hard!), I'm not sure she'd get much sympathy. Imagine every argument you've ever had, and apply the same principle.
