family means something different with us because it has to. it’s not about blood. it’s not even about who we like. it’s about who andrew’s willing to protect.

“This,“ Neil flicked his finger to indicate the two of them, “isn’t worthless.” “There is no ‘this’. This is nothing.” “And I am nothing,” Neil prompted. When Andrew gestured confirmation, Neil said, “And as you’ve always said, you want nothing.” Andrew stared stone-faced back at him.”
“You hate me, remember?“
“Every inch of you,” Andrew said. “That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t blow you.“
The world tilted a little bit sideways.
“"Letting someone in meant trusting them to not stab me in the back when terible people came looking for me. I was too afraid to risk it, so it was easier to be alone and not think about it. But I trust you.”
“You shouldn’t.”
“Says the man who stopped.” Neil gave Andrew a few moments to respond before saying, “I don’t understand it, and I don’t know what I’m doing, but I don’t want to ignore it just because it’s new. So are you completely off-limits or are there any safe zones?”
“What are you hoping for, coordinates?”
“I’m hoping to know where the line are before I cross them,” Neil said, “but I’m open to drawing a map on you if you want to loan me a marker. That’s not a bad idea.”
“Everything about you is a bad idea,” Andrew said, as if Neil didn’t already know that.
“I’m still waiting for an answer.”
“I’m still waiting for a yes or no I actually believe,” Andrew returned.
“Yes.”“all for the game ― twelve scenes: 6/12
“Anytime the Foxes mentioned Andrew’s upcoming sobriety or Andrew’s name popped up in write-ups on the team’s performance at games, the focus was on what a danger he was. People talked about his trial and how it saved them from Andrew. No one said what they were doing to save Andrew from himself.”
Andrew Minyard didn’t look like much in person, blonde and five feet even, but Neil knew better. Andrew was the Foxes’ freshman goalkeeper and their deadliest investment. Most of the Foxes were self-destructive, whereas Andrew seemed keen on collateral damage.

“Andrew found out he and I have a lot in common. The only differences between us are luck and faith.“
“And psychosis,” Neil said.
Renee smiled. “Maybe not.“
“I hate you,” Andrew said casually. He took a last long drag from his cigarette and flicked it off the roof. “You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs.”
“I’m not a hallucination,” Neil said, nonplussed.
“You are a pipe dream,” Andrew said.
