A lot of you cared, just not enough.
Jay Asher

Jay Asher
Image
If I had a chance with him, I missed it. No, I didn't miss it. I threw it away.
Jay Asher

Jay Asher
Image
And after I dropped him off, I took the longest possible route home... I explored alleys and hidden roads I never knew existed. I discovered neighborhoods entirely new to me. And finally... I discovered I was sick of this town and everything in it.
Jay Asher
Image
That's what I love about poetry. The more abstract, the better. The stuff where you're not sure what the poet's talking about. You may have an idea, but you can't be sure. Not a hundred percent. Each word, specifically chosen, could have a million different meanings.
Jay Asher
Image
I hate not knowing what to believe anymore. I hate not knowing what's real.
Jay Asher
Image
Maybe it didn’t seem like a big deal to you Zach. But now, I hope you understand. My world was collapsing. I needed those notes. I needed any hope those notes might have offered. And you? You took that hope away. You decided I didn’t deserve to have it.
Jay Asher
Image
God, I am freaking out. Maybe he doesn’t know. Maybe I just look guilty of something and he’s picking up on that.
Jay Asher
Image
How in the world was I alone? Because I wanted to be. That's all I can say. It's all that makes sense to me.
