I can't Fricking BELIEVE this WOMAN! THAT'S HER REASON?!

"I don’t want to be this way. I know that now. I want the light Lucas cracked open and the warmth Arianna brings with her calm, steady, dependable, gentle self. I want light, and life, and laughter. And something like love. (...) I want a future where I forge a new me, a new life, but my ties to home, to my brothers, are still strong as steel. I want it all."

"I can’t keep doing this. I don’t want to do this.
I hate what’s inside me.
I don’t know how to get it out."

Thank God for true friends! :)

End of Chapter 21 - OMG! What's going to happen NOW?!

"Something dark slithers through me. It won’t ever be over. And when I’m gone? It’ll keep going. He’ll keep going. Even if I manage to escape, even if I fly a thousand miles across the country and never return, he won’t stop. He’ll just hurt them instead of me."

"This is what I want even though my gut is filled with jagged rocks. I am officially the most terrible, awful person in the world. Lucas leaves me alone now, just like I asked, just like I said I wanted. And now Arianna, too.
They’re both good, too bright to look at. I’m the bad, ugly girl who pushed them away". - God! This girl REALLY needs a Friend! ... A TRUE Friend!

"For someone like me, there’s no God who can save me and no one I could ever trust. For someone like me, my own pathetic self is all I have". :(

End of Chapter 11- Oh My God! :'-(

“You are good. Just like this. Whatever you want to be is just fine. It doesn’t matter if you like boys or pink sparkles or wear purple polka dotted skirts to school every day. Okay? No one has a right to treat you like crap.” - Sidney, you are so right, girl! AMEN!
