Sometimes a perfect memory can be ruined if put to words.
The story you choose to tell isn't always the story you believe.
There's something ugly about a pretty boy who knows he's pretty and assumes everyone else know it too.
I could tell he wanted the best for me. Of course, he assumed that would be getting out. Everyone always thought that, not of what we had to go back to, at home. Maybe our parents had thrown away our mattresses. Maybe they'd told our siblings we'd be...
Some of us had been running all our lives. We ran because we could and because we could not. We ran for our lives. We still thought they were worth running for.
