When I told you not to think of me that way?” I nodded. “Charlie, I also told you not to tell Mary Elizabeth she was pretty.
And to ask her a lot of questions and not interrupt her. Now she’s with a guy who does the exact opposite.
And it works because that’s who Peter really is. He’s being himself. And he does things.”
“But I didn’t like Mary Elizabeth.” “Charlie, you’re missing the point.
The point is that I don’t think you would have acted differently even if you did like Mary Elizabeth.
It’s like you can come to Patrick’s rescue and hurt two guys that are trying to hurt him, but what about when Patrick’s hurting himself?
Like when you guys went to that park? Or when he was kissing you? Did you want him to kiss you?”
I shook my head no. “So, why did you let him?” “I was just trying to be a friend,” I said.
“But you weren’t, Charlie. At those times, you weren’t being his friend at all.
Because you weren’t honest with him.” I sat there very still. I looked at the floor.
I didn’t say anything. Very uncomfortable. “Charlie, I told you not to think of me that way nine months ago because of what I’m saying now.
Not because of Craig. Not because I didn’t think you were great. It’s just that I don’t want to be somebody’s crush.
