“And I don’t want to be weak and begging, but it’s inevitable, right? You’re like my crack.”
You just have to believe that you’ll be strong enough in the end. Even if the middle is all fucked up.”
I’d always bet on Connor Cobalt.
Some things never change.
The truest deepest part of me suddenly speaks. “I don’t know how to live without you.” And I shake my head quickly as tears pool. “And I don’t want to know how. I don’t want to find out.”
He is my breath. My soul. My life-force. I have spent forever with him. Being apart is the most unnatural feeling in the world. Three months—I could handle that like a bad itch. Forever without him?
He’s my very best friend.
“I will never learn how to live without you. I couldn’t fucking bear it.”
I love Loren Hale. I can’t live without him. However silly that may be, it is the undying truth. Even if he was with another girl. Even if we never could touch. I could not live without Lo. He is as much a part of me as the sun is a part of the sky, as the Earth is to the universe. I need him in order to wake up in the morning. I need him to feel whole.
“I won’t ever desert you, love. Not for a goddamn moment. You’re mine to take care of, you understand?” His words instantly fill my heart. I nod quickly. “Yes.”
He is truly my everything.
“I’m scared,” I start again, “that there’s going to be a point where you become angry and bitter and resentful every time I tell you to stop, that you realize someone else can give you what you want.” Lily’s head whips from side to side, like I’m so wrong.
“No one else could ever give me what I want,” she breathes. “I only want you.”
“We all have secrets; the ones we keep, and the ones that are kept from us.” – PETER PARKER, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
“Because I think she loves you more than she loves sex. And you love her more than you love alcohol, but you two just haven’t let yourselves believe it yet.”
“One day, you're going to have to make a choice. You have to decide what kind of man you want to grow up to be. Whoever that man is, good character or bad, is going to change the world.” – JONATHAN KENT, MAN OF STEEL
“Whatever happens, we’re in this together. You and me.” “Lily and Lo,”
Maybe…maybe we’re just not meant to have a happy ending. Maybe we don’t deserve it.
You’re my family.
She is my past, my present, my future. So when I open the door and slide into the driver’s seat, I’m not surprised that it feels like I’m returning home.
After all we’ve been through. Years and years of mistakes, it feels like a dream to be here in this moment. Right now. Sober. Alive. With her.
