Kindle Notes & Highlights
From the moment we met, it was like my soul reached out and grabbed onto him, clutching with desperate, greedy fingers, trying frantically to smoosh him in and make him a part of me.
And you know how it goes with us spoiled, brats… Pay us no attention and we’ll go feral trying to get it.
“There are no heroes in this world, Lex. Just villains with a better disguise.”
I’ve been cruising up the delusion highway, watching my grip on reality disappear in the rearview mirror.

But just know, every moment I’m with you… is fireworks over the ocean.”
“Because I fucking love you!” he shouts in my face, and I falter. “I’ve loved you since the second I saw you, and I don’t understand it! I don’t want to feel this shit… This twisted up ball of need in my chest like fucking disease. I don’t even know if it really is love, that’s how fucked up I am. I never knew what this felt like… until you.”
“Because I want to do everything in my power to make you happy… even when you hate me and refuse to look at me. I want to be next to you all the time… Just breathing the same air as you. I want to hold your hand and kiss your neck, and I want you to want me to… more than I’ve ever wanted anything. I feel like I could slaughter anyone who causes you pain, including myself. It’s so unbearably fucked up, but I would open a vein and bleed just to make you smile… That has to mean I’m in love with you… Right?”
He’s the negative to my positive, and here we are… Together. Fully charged.
