No, Owen. That's what I am to you. I'm your best friend…
““No, Owen. That's what I am to you. I'm your best friend. But that's not what you're to me." He shook his head in denial. "What you are to me is the guy that I've been madly in love with since sixth grade. You're the guy I think about every night when I'm in my bed by myself . You're the one who doesn't want me but insists on keeping me tied so close that I can't have anyone else, who keeps on hand on my collar and the other hand up his girlfriend's skirt. And I can't do it anymore! ””
