Last time Quote by Tara Hudson
““Why are you bringing these things up?" I asked softly. [...] Serena still wore that cold smile...Then, without warning, her face fell and she sighed heavily. "I'm saying all these things, Amelia, because you're my bestie." Serena's tone was sincere, but it made me scowl at her. The last time she'd called me "bestie," she'd shoved me over the guardrail of a suspension bridge. That kind of thing could really take the shine out of a word.””
