    swear to God I will hunt you down and castrate you.” “What is your obsession with this girl? She must be an unforgettable lay to make a boy forget his true friends and abandon his only family.” Chase was five seconds away from lunging and beating the crap out of his EX-best friend when Virginia came back into the room.

    Tall, blonde, skinny, whinny, clingy, dependable, understanding, kind, emotionally unstable, and the greatest friend I could ever have. That sentence is what you would find if you looked up the definition of Maggie.
