“That doesn’t mean your office should look like an eleven-year-old’s bedroom.” He shakes his head at the rest of the superhero paraphernalia.
I just hate him sm.
“You never change, do you? Still a narcissist.” I eat a chip and say, “I was going to call him an attention whore.” “I’m that too,” Connor agrees
Their banter will never get old !!
“I thought I’d stop by just to piss you off. It’s number three on my list of daily activities.” “Thought so,” I say. “Is filing your talons number four?”
Bahahahaa
“It’s called confidence, in case you were confused.” “Sounds more like arrogance,” Ryke says.
“And with great friends comes great responsibility,” he tells me. “Like trying to listen to your sister talk without me referencing a demonic entity.” He looks at me. “It’s torture.”
Bahahaha!!
The addicted side of me trumps every moral part.
The day I fell in love with you. – Lily
But for every warmth there is cold. For every ounce of light there is blackness. And for every happy memory, there is grief and pain. I can’t remember that day without crawling through it all.
“They’re little—” Poppy tries to justify. “Devils. They’re little devils that only exist to annoy me.” She’s too dramatic for her own good.
Rose is me. Lol
“Do you want ice cream? Rose stocked up on double fudge for you.” “I can’t…I have a photo shoot next week.” “Oh,” Lily says, more remorse filling her eyes.
Felt. Felt. Felt.
as the clock struck midnight. “Twenty seconds.” Now I’m in Loren Hale’s arms. He’s sober. I’m in recovery.
The only future I want is the one that ends with her.
Pretending to be in a jungle safari at night just won’t be the same.
I can't with her
Our imaginations are vast. It doesn’t help that we love comic books more than reality.
Lily & lo FOREVER!!
God, drinking is so much better than dealing with this bullshit.
Fear of failing Lily—it motivates me in ways that no one can understand.
“But we’re in Earth-616, love. We’re going to have our happy ending. It just may take us awhile to get there.”
<3
You set the trap. You should know where it is.” “It must have carried the trap with it.” “Just use your nose,” Connor says. “Dogs have the best sense of smell.”
Bahahaha
Because I’m the addict. Because I think irrationally. But I’m a person. I can feel. And there’s only so much I can put up with before I begin to drown.
but I just wonder when I’ll stop making them. Or is this a lifelong thing? Do we all just wander through life, fucking up and trying to put ourselves back together only to continue on again?
“People don’t have to like me,” Ryke tells us. “I am who I fucking am.”
Blunt but facts
I watch how Connor keeps his blue eyes locked on Rose. With more and more concern. He is in love with her. For once, in his life, Connor is blind.
Maybe one day he’ll realize how far we’re all willing to go. For the people we love most.
So I dig and claw and scrape, struggling in hope that in the final act, I’ll rise above.
“That’s the funny thing about working for yourself,” he says with a wry smile. “I can set my own hours, take my work home, and spend the afternoon making love to a girl.”
That's the life.
But get this straight, Scott. I’m the last person you wanted to fuck over. You try to pull my arms like I’m a fucking marionette, and I’ll yank yours out of the socket.”
I just lov him so much.
Every time he types in yes, it reformats to say cocksucker. No is now blow me. And the phrase, I’m on my way is retranslated to I want to smell your asshole. It’s as unpoetic as I could get. And I fucked with probably fifty common phrases and words.
BAHAHA
I love her. The world seems empty whenever I watch her. It’s a peaceful existence. But I know a life with just the two of us, alone, is a future better as a fantasy.
The longer he spills these details, the more darkness spreads over my face, clinging to my emotions like tar.
“You all look at me like I’m a dog that needs to be put out of his misery. I’m just waiting for one of you to finally do it.”
I stare into his amber eyes that express a thousand regrets. He’s beating himself up about the pills more than I ever could.
“Because I know you’ll never forgive yourself,” she says. “Your guilt is punishment enough, don’t you think?”
This sentence >>>
“She has those eyes, you know,” Daisy tells us. “They’re kind of scary.” “That’s what it feels like to be turned to stone,” Lo says.
Good things don’t happen to bad people. Lily used to tell me that all the time.
They end up having a tug-of-war. “Let go, Loren, unless you’d like me to dislocate your arm.” “Aren’t you tired of making all these empty threats?”
“Rose, not to lecture you at this really sensitive time in your life,” Lo says, “but that’s not how you drink whiskey. And as an expert in liquor, it offends me.”
“You’re not an expert in liquor. You’re an alcoholic.” She sets the whiskey bottle on the table and takes a giant swig from her wine glass. She doesn’t even cringe.
“Look honey,” Rose says. “We have a sex tape together.” She’s lost it. Officially.
Because if someone like Connor ever breaks to that degree, then the whole world is headed for hell.
When you have money like we do, there will always be people ready to bury you for a payout. It’s how the world turns.
I just hate thinking that this could be our new normal. The frenzied cameras, the invasiveness, the never-ending questions and rumors.
be a friendly shoulder to cry on like Rose was to me. Not that she sheds more than a few tears a year.
Rose lowkey remids me of myself a lot.
“You have to realize that I’m just doing my job. If I didn’t write those stories, somebody else would have, and I wouldn’t be paid nearly enough to afford rent in New York City. We don’t all come from money.”
The manipulation... This just shows how fucked humanity is.
“But it doesn’t matter, Lil. We have each other, and I get your pain, I understand how badly it hurts, so I need you to block out the other people today, okay? They don’t exist in our world.” Our world.
Sex with Lily Calloway just may be the most toxic, mind-altering experience of my life.
But I know what it’s like to have emotions that war within you. To want something so cold and callous, only to feel a shred of self-worth. I get it. I fucking get it.
“Revenge isn’t a benefit, Lo. It’s self-gratification, an emotional response with very little logic and even less reward.”
I can’t lose you. So I’m really, really sorry for being so…” “Human,” she tells me, tilting her head as she looks at me again. “I can’t tell you how many times I wished ill for other people. It’s completely normal, Lily.”
Loveee a quality sister moment.
So tell me, which one of us is the real cruel bitch here?”
