A line from NeilDifferent folks, different strokes.
Neil I met Wendy Peterson when I was 10. She was 11, one grade ahead of me in school. If I wasn't **** we would have ended up having sloppy teenage sex and getting pregnant, contributing more ****-up unwanted kids to society. But instead, she became my soulmate. And... one true partner in crime.
Neil You called me your ****... angel.
Neil I hate it when they look like Tarzan but sound like Jane.
Neil I am so sick of this stinkin' little buttcrack of a town!
Neil And as we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. But that was a lie, plus, I couldn't speak anyway. I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and trying to telepathically communicate... how sorry I was about what had happened. And I thought of all the grief and sadness... and **** up suffering in the world... and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart that we could just... leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear.
Neil You're the only one I ever told.
I know.
Neil I never told Eric or my Mom. And I know some people might think it's **** up, or whatever? But what happened that summer... is a huge part of me. No one ever made me feel that way, before or since. Like I was special.
Neil, you were eight years old.
Neil Yeah, but he really loved me. I mean, there were other kids sometimes, but... I was his prize. I was his one true love.
I got a postcard from Wendy.
Neil I think she's mad at me because I owe her like 3 letters.
Yeah, her last P.S. is "Tell ****face to write me."
