Losing Hope (Hopeless, #2)

by Colleen Hoover

“I just hope you understand that unfortunate things like this are going to happen throughout your life, but that doesn’t give you the excuse to not live up to what’s expected of you.”

My attention is constantly homed in on her like I’m a compass and she’s my North.

“I call her Val because it’s short for Valium and I always tell her she needs to take that shit by the bucketful. I wasn’t lying when I said she was fucking crazy.”

“You were always there, you know. Even when I couldn’t remember… you were always there.”

In order to miss someone, that means you were privileged enough to have them in your life to begin with.
