She was silent for a moment then blurted out of nowhere, "We accept the love we think we deserve," she said quietly.

I looked at her, a smile forming on my lips. "Stephen Chbosky."

She nodded. "You aren't incapable of affection Levi Scott. No one is. The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive the ones who wronged you, unless you forgive the events that were caused by the past, and unless you realize that you are loved, you cannot move forward because sometimes the hardest part isn't letting go, but rather learning to start over. Sooner or later we've all got to let go of our past, I chose sooner, now, it is later, and it is your turn to do the same."
                                                        
                                            
"I love you," I whispered. It just came out. Hopefully, she didn't hear-

"Wot?"

"I-I said we're here."

“And apple juice can actually be really good for hydration,” I countered matter-of-factly. “So what I’m drinking right now is keeping me hydrated.” I don’t know if what I’m drinking is apple juice but that's what it looks like. 


“..You still think you’re drinking apple juice?” Rosalie asked incredulously. 


“Uh, yeah,” I rolled my eyes. “What else would I be drinking. I’m obviously not drinking alcohol. I don’t drink.” 


“I think I know how being drunk works bro.” I know my body.
