Pure heroine

~you can literally see, hear, feel, and smell james’ character development and his slowly building love for alyssa

~the way alyssa looks at him while he’s dancing oHMYFUCKINGGOD

~james, the boy who has killed animals, punched his dad in the face, burned his hand to “feel something”, and saw his mother commit suicide, turned into james, who cried when alyssa had to put a dog down, tried to give her flowers when she got mad, and saved alyssa from sexual assault

~he didn’t cry at his mother’s funeral but cried because he missed alyssa so much

~james opening up to alyssa about his mom and how he should have done something about it and alyssa telling him it wasn’t his fault. he really needed that at the time and she knew that

~”when alyssa was sleeping, she looked a lot less angry”

~that scene where he waves to her with that lil smirk and she’s at the top of the hill, waving back to him
