I could go on all night, Lake. I could go on and on and on about all the reasons I’m in love with you. And you know what? Some of them are the things that life has thrown our way. I do love you because you’re the only other person I know who understands my situation. I do love you because both of us know what it’s like to lose your mom and your dad. Furthermore, I do love you because you’re raising your little brother, just like I am. Furthermore, I love you because of what you went through with your mother. I love you because of what we went through with your mother. Furthermore, I love the way you love Key. Furthermore, I love the way you love Calder. And I love the way I love Key. So I’m not about to apologize for loving all these things about you, no matter the reasons or the circumstances behind them. And no, I don’t need days, or weeks, or months to think about why I love you. It’s an easy answer for me. I love you because of you. Because of every single thing about you.

I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not suicidal if that's what's freaking you out. Furthermore, I'm not fucked up in the head. Furthermore, I'm not deranged. Furthermore, I'm not suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Furthermore, I'm just a brother who loved his sister more than life itself, so I get a little intense when I think about her.

I don't understand my sudden obsession with staring at her, but I can't seem to stop.

I don't want him to hurt like I'm hurting. I don't want him to miss me like I'll miss him. Furthermore, I don't want him to be falling for me like I've been falling for him.

I don't want Sydney ever to feel like my second choice, when I know in my heart that she's the right choice. The only choice.

I don't want you to change, Bridgette. I'm not in love with who you could be, or who you used to be, or who the world says you should be. Furthermore, I'm in love with you. Right now. Just like this.

I’d rather love you at the bottom than despise you at the top.
