‘ sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. ’
‘ until then, just relax and take it easy. ’
‘ probably just a bruise. ’
‘ better get a move on. ’
‘ thanks for everything. ’
‘ they look like somebody else’s hands, not my own. ’
‘ it sounds strange for a boy your age to use a word like damaged. ’
‘ do people start wars out of anger? or fear? ’
‘ that’s the only way you’re going to survive. ’
‘ i’ve been worried about you ever since. ’
‘ give it a good night’s sleep and you should feel better. ’
‘ you were hurt badly, and those scars will stay with you forever. i feel sorry for you, i really do. but think of it like this: it’s not too late to recover. you’re young, you’re tough. you’re adaptable. you can patch up your wounds, lift up your head and move on. ’
‘ i’m a very cautious person. ’
‘ most kids your age wouldn’t make it this far. ’
‘ i could’ve run over and been right there beside you when you woke up, but i figured that’d be a bit of a shock. ’
‘ do you know why people have to do such cruel things like that to other people? ’
‘ maybe we better be getting back. ’
‘ i’m sorry i woke you up so late last night. but you’re the only one i could count on. ’
‘ that’s very kind of you. ’
‘ even if it means sacrificing yourself, you have to pursue it to the bitter end. ’
‘ well, let’s go grab some breakfast. ’
‘ for when you get hungry. ’
‘ i’m hanging in there. ’
‘ it isn’t worth it. i don’t want to see you die some miserable teenage death like billy the kid. ’
‘ okay, but i’ve never seen anybody sleep so much before. ’
‘ people will bleed there, and you will bleed too. ’
‘ i’ve done some pretty awful things in my life too. ’
‘ you’ll drive me nuts if you keep it up. ’
‘ then you’re not so dumb after all. ’
‘ i could be wrong, but i think that’s the first time i’ve ever seen you smile. ’
‘ we’re part of a family. ’
‘ but one thing is certain. when you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. that’s what this storm’s all about. ’
‘ you’re like some scared little kid, afraid of the silence and the dark. ’
‘ i feel like crying, but even if i do, nobody’s going to come to my rescue. ’
‘ the first thing you have to do is believe that. that’s your starting point. ’
‘ and when i finally woke up, i couldn’t remember a thing. ’
‘ i need someplace that’s safe and warm. where i can escape to for a while and pull myself together. ’
