You tie shoelaces in your hair and write poetry on your skin and he doesn't want you, he doesn't want you. You hide your scars with bracelets that you allow to slip, hoping he'll notice, hoping he'll save you and he doesn't - he saves her. You keep changing, because that's what he does, that's what he knows. Maybe it will draw him to you. (It still seems that Teddy's more interested in girls his own age, though.)
Normally, there isn't room for anyone else if he's there. Your eyes don't leave him, for fear that he'll slip away somehow if you don't keep him close. But today you start to notice someone else.
You start to notice the way he looks at Molly and you think that perhaps you're in the same boat.

After you sleep together for the first time, you turn to him - trace circles on his chest - and whisper gently, "We people - we're not the same as those people. We people have to stick together."
And you free up a little bit of your heart for him.
