              “so i guess it’s kind of weird; i don’t think me and pierce really had this phase where we were regular ‘friends’, if that makes sense. it was like, straight into the deep-end, no bullshit, just deep cuts. and yeah, if it wasn’t obvious, i really like the dude, he’s a lot softer and more grounded than people give him credit for. and i guess it’s been hard … with this whole thing with odette, but i just want him to be happy. he deserves that, for all the shit he’s listened to me talk about. he’s a real one, and sometimes i feel like i let him down with shitty advice, but hey, he keeps coming back, so maybe i’m doing something right.”

                 “oh my god, wow, um … what don’t i miss about her? honestly … i miss everything about her … s-she was my best friend. the absolute kindest soul, like, effortlessly gentle. and she always lit up the room, any room – even if she didn’t know anyone there. like she had … she had this confidence that you can’t teach. this charisma, you know? where absolutely anyone she would talk to would start glowing with her. that’s how my dad would describe her, anyway.”

“i miss her passion. i miss her support, her love, her unconditional goddamned love. she was the best listener, you know? would just show up whenever i needed her. she had like … this sixth sense for sadness. and knew exactly what to say or what to do to cure it.”
