Status Updates From Deposing Nathan

It's right then that I realise: There's no worse feeling than to yell and yell and feel like no one can hear you.
[...] Actually, that's wrong. The worst feeling is that sneaking suspicion that people can hear you, loud and clear, and they still don't care enough to answer.

💔💔

"Let me be as clear as I've ever been. Okay? Once you're eighteen and paying bills, you can make whatever decisions you'd like. But for now, this is our house; our stuff - our rules. You own none of this, you hear me? You don't have rights; you have privileges, and we can take them away at any time."

Let me just put this book down for a sec so I can fucking scream into my pillow in rage 🙈

“you’re supposed to be scared of god. that’s how you know what’s right and wrong.”
“i just don’t think it’s possible to love someone and be afraid of them at the same time.”

fucking hate aunt lori

These parents suck. I honestly hate his aunt.

“Please,” I say to the back of her head. “You promised you wouldn’t. Did you mean it?”
She pirouettes in a semicircle until she’s facing me. Her face contorts—pure revulsion.
“You know something, Nate?” she says. “Just because you’re full of shit doesn’t mean everyone else is.”

i love these kids.

“Nate? Thank you.”
“What for?”
“Just being my friend.”
