It's the music that pulls me in and makes me forget about my problems at home. Music is my drug, the one thing that makes me numb.
Simone ElkelesJust so you know, Iโm goinโ to enlist.โ โIโm proud of you. But why?โ I groan against the pain but manage to give him a half smile. โI want to make sure Kiaraโs got a boyfriend who has more to offer than a hot bod and a face that could make angels weep.
Simone ElkelesI'm the one who got hit by that car, not you,' I tell him. 'Don't act like you're the victim here. You made choices I didn't ask you to make. I'm not sure anyone asked you to make them.' I'm screaming the words, not caring that the entire world can probably hear me. 'You think I like limping everywhere I go? I don't. I'm the victim! Be honest with me! You didn't care about me enough to trust me. I gave you my heart, but it wasn't enough.
Simone ElkelesWhen I look out [the window] at the big houses on either side of the road, it's obvious we've entered the rich side of town. Poor people don't post signs like NO TRESPASSING, PRIVATE DRIVE, PRIVATE PROPERTY, MONITORED BY CAMERA SURVEILLANCE. I should know because I've been poor my entire life, and the only person I know who ever posted a sign like these is my friend...and he actually stole the sign off a rich guy's yard.
