Queen Rose Quotes

“A queen has her reign, and then she dies. It’s the natural order of things. Or maybe she’s just reborn by graduating her old life to live out a new one, content and free of the dark. Free of the demon who has chased her through childhood. Free to live and love with the guy from the wrong side of the tracks. I’m free to be me. Finally.”

“We made it. As a group, my friends and I have endured parents who are abusive, absent, and drug-addicted. We’ve survived would-be rapists, devious cunts, homophobic assholes, jealous exes, dickheads, petty bitches, douche nuggets, and a disgusting pimp. We’ve braved being the scholarship kid, coming out, screwing up, and baring our truths. We’ve dealt with kidnappings, heinous trickery, a car accident, parents’ illnesses and death, assaults, and even murder. And we’re leaving this place stronger than ever, ready to take on the world outside of River Rock and Rosehaven Academy.”
