Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to, Haven. Sometimes the people you choose to believe are wrong.

boys sometimes wanted
So this had been all I wanted, a boy who understood how I felt. Now, though, I sometimes wished for more.

Quiet and incredible. I really envy that.

I always thought I was different.
