Our eyes met across the crowded room, like in the movies, except we didn't share a knowing smile and race into each other's arms. Instead I fell into the trash can.

More quotes by Julie Anne Peters
What did she see in me? What does she see that I don't?
Julie Anne Peters
Do what, Kim? Lead a normal life? Too late. Way too late.
Julie Anne Peters
Me? I had no dreams. No longings. Dreams only set you up for disappointment. Plus, you had to have a life to have dreams of a better life.
Julie Anne Peters
His eyes are like a telescope. I look into them and I'm transported across the universe to a world I've never been.
Julie Anne Peters
Who becomes you? No one. No one should become me. When I die, I don't want my body or soul inhabited. I wouldn't wish me on anyone.
Julie Anne Peters
But you'd sell your soul for it, wouldn't you? For one day of feeling beautiful.
Julie Anne Peters
She responds by kissing me harder and longer and deeper. She loves me too. She's just afraid.
Julie Anne Peters
As they were carting him off on a gurney, all I could think was, I wish that was me.
Julie Anne Peters
Why are people so cruel? What did I ever do to them?
Julie Anne Peters
I have no intent. I have no reason to live, that's all. When I'm gone, I don't want to be remembered.
Julie Anne Peters
I think about my choice. Either outcome is bleak. If I stay and live through high school, go to college, get a job, what will ever change? This blackness inside will never go away. I don't make friends I'll always be alone. If I go, at least there's hope of peace. Chance of a new and better life on the other side.
Julie Anne Peters
But I'm no hero. I had to keep my dirty little secret. The worst sin I committed was holding it in letting the secret blacken me.
Julie Anne Peters
His invitation lingers. So does my question. Why me? I don't know the answer. When I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is a starving, stunted bird who never grew wings and lost all reason to sing.
Julie Anne Peters
I suppose I'll be remembered as dull. Timid. No one ever knew me. People came. They went. I was kind, I think. Not sympathetic, but considerate of others. I always gave up my place in line. I loaned out pencils and paper, or let people take them from me. I never reported a sexual assault.
Julie Anne Peters
I won't be alive so I won't care who finds me.
Julie Anne Peters
I hated him. I hated them all. They made me hate myself even more than I already did.
Julie Anne Peters
I didn't tell him. And I never told her the whole truth. What would it matter? There was nothing she could do nothing anyone can do or will do.
Julie Anne Peters
...When I asked [my dad why the sky was blue] he said it was because God's a boy. If God were a girl, the sky would be pink. 'What about sunrise and sunset?' I'd asked. Dad had looked dumbfounded. 'You kids. You think too much.' It frightened me how shallow the gene pool was that Liam and I were wading in.
Julie Anne Peters
Yet, when we talked, when we were together, she seemed so familiar. Seemed to know who I was, where I was coming from. She knew me better than I knew myself, I think. She was easy to be with. And I wanted to be with her, like all the time.
Julie Anne Peters
The sad truth is, they should never trust me.
