*SPOILER ALERT*
"I break away from his mouth and his hand but he pulls me right back. If there is suck a thing as rock bottom, it's where I a right now. I can lie to myself. I can lie to Josh. Bu it's just that. A lie. I didn't destroy any part of me when I was with him, even if I destroyed everything after. I know it wasn't true when I said it and I know it now. I don't regret one minute I spent with Josh. What I regret is every single second after. I regret ripping his heart out. I regret sending us both straight to hell." (325)
I chose this quote because of the simple fact that I can identify with it. We've all had that time in out lives where we are so fucked up by the obstacles life throws at us; it get's to the point where you are just done withe everything. That defining moment when we know if I go through with something, there won't be more. This is where Nastya is right now. She's lost Josh, and she was just at the wrong time in the wrong moment. She's had enough and want to leave but Kevin makes it impossible for her, when he slaps her because she doesn't want to sleep with him.
"I should deny it; deny it all night until I've convinced even myself that it could not be possibly true. That I couldn't be so self-destructive as to fall in love with any girl, much less a girl who is cracked in a thousand places and who will leave me as soon as she's put back together again. But I guess the ability to think rationally has deserted me because I don't deny it at all. It's late. I'm tired and scared and hurt and so incredibly sorry, and I just can't think straight anymore tonight." (330)
Josh not only misses Nastya, but loves her. Everything about her is destructive, she knows it, he knows it. But together they simply work, each other is all they have. She still has her family but they gave up on her a long time ago when she walked away from them; it was useless to keep trying to get back the little girl she stopped being when that monster killed her.
