“I want him to be my Edward -- taking care of me, always. Watching over me, day or night, unsleeping. Keeping me safe, by his side. Caring for me with a passion so pure it can't be corrupted by time or distance or seduction. I know Edward is only fiction. But that doesn't have to mean love like his can only be found in books and movies or rooted in the misty world of dreams.”
― Ellen Hopkins, Tilt

“back turned, you don't have to look at what you've left behind. And the first person who turned their back on you can't watch you break down and cry.”
― Ellen Hopkins, Perfect

“Alone
everything changes.

but it's exactly the place I need to be.”

“Not even Carol knows firsthand how it feels to be hurt in such a way by someone who's supposed to protect you”
