Difficulty [4/10]

“Maybe it’s the fact that she was the first person I had a real kiss with, or maybe I’m feeling nostalgic. Whatever one makes more sense, but I am going to have to say, Ava. Do you know how long I wanted to kiss her? Or thought about the day she would look at my direction. --- Man, I had the biggest crush on her, didn’t I?

“Most of the time it’s easy for me to forgive. We all make mistakes, big and small. The only time I hold a grudge is if the slight was against one of my girls, or someone else I care about. I’m less likely to forgive someone who wronged Nora, Barbie, or Alina than I would be if it were just me.”

“God, don’t even get me started on those two. It feels so weird thinkin’ about how different we all are now, well except maybe Tuck, he’s always had that whole charming thing going for ever since I met him.” She pressed down on her lips, hiding a smile, “Growing up with them, I always thought they were so different. There was Nash, who I wanted to punch in the face most days because that boy was real annoying, and then there was Tuck, who practically had every girl in school always crushin’ on him, but... I don’t know, I guess now, there’s more similar than I thought. I mean, Nash is pullin’ girls in their 20s, so I guess he can’t be doin’ that bad.”

Brooke let out a breath, furrowing her brows, “I never got it. I never got why he had to leave like that. I get it, I’ve been through loss, far too much of it. Lem and Hannah tell me that I’m strong, but when I had to go and face him after all these years, I felt like that 18 year old girl who was gettin’ her heart broken, seein’ the boy that she thought she was going to marry engaged to someone else. I... It’s not that I want to go and marry him or anything, but it hurt, more than I wanted to admit, having to deal with the only guy who managed to break my heart.”

Nash: 

Rory took a long pull of his whisky, a smile on his lips. “Best boss in the whole fuckin’ game. I am his biggest fan on earth, and sometimes I have to pretend to be chill ‘round him, ‘cause he is in fact my boss, and like... I’m not tryin’ to be creepy or ‘nothin’, but he’s just... so suave? And so smart? And so passionate? And so... I mean, let’s be honest, he’s hot as Hades. But my best friend in the whole world is currently fuckin’ him, so I’ll keep that to myself. Anyhow... big fan, super minor crush. All love.”

Kai:

Rory took a long drag, his joint sitting easily between his fingers. He felt high and sure, a little sting of emotion hit when he heard Kai’s name. Because it did hurt... to make him think of their past. The way things were and how they turned out. But also... Kai was so beautiful. And so kind, and considerate, and just.. himself. And that kind of made Rory smile more than most things. Smile, as though he could burst. “Kai’s made of sunshine. He’s the creek, constant and steady. And.. he’s such a wonderful father to Riley. And he’s... he’s just so pure of heart and so lovely and I really do love him, a lot. And I know it’s never gonna be the same, ‘cause I fucked up a lot of things. And I could cry about him every day for the rest of my fuckin’ life, and believe you me, I have. But I won’t right now, ‘cause Kai Lewis deserves the sun. He’s gonna get my smiles, ‘cause he makes the world a better place, and makes me feel like there’s hope for somethin’ better. God I hope so.”

not to become me. umm, i don’t know. maybe to always try to find the good in people? that or how to organize her home when she moves out.

Hmmm, I’m not sure. Maybe Katie Holmes? Can’t say I’ve ever really thought about it til now. 

Oh god, what don’t I wish people would talk about more? I wish they would talk about how Stevie Nicks will save us all from any disasters. I wish they would talk about how a lot of people try to escape to New York... there are other cities out there, aren’t there? They all seem to crawl back here, anyhow. I wish they would talk about the fact that @peachkennedy might actually be a reincarnation of Satan. Or maybe @sadielockhart? They’re both out of their minds. Oh! And I wish they would talk about how underrated the strawberry milkshakes at Star Diner are... I mean, don’t get me wrong. The pecan praline is to die for, but it’s not everything...

“Well, my daddy says that nice, young ladies know that forgiveness is the way of god and that we should always strive to live his way. But my nana says that some people in life are nothin’ but two-timin’, backwater idiots that don’t deserve our time or forgiveness. She also says we can’t hold ourselves up to the standards of an all knowing, all powerful being since we’re just flawed humans. And I’m a little more inclined to listen to her since she’s got more experience in the whole life thing. So, I’m leanin’ toward grudges.”
