Meg Cabot Quote

Yeah, Bryce said, but I mean, I drove her to it, you know? That’s the thing. If I just hadn’t broken up with her— You have a pretty high opinion of yourself, don’t you? He looked taken aback. What? Well, your assumption that she killed herself because you broke up with her. I don’t think that’s why she killed herself at all. She killed herself because she was sick. You had nothing to do with making her that way. Your breaking up with her may have acted as a sort of catalyst for her final breakdown, but it could just have easily been some other crisis in her life—her parents getting divorced, her not making the cheerleader squad, her cat dying. Anything. So try not to be so hard on yourself.
