Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Witch. Get up. Now, before I pay your brother to come in here and fart all over you. And if you’re not up, dressed, fed and out of the door in the next forty-five minutes, I’m gonna start uploading your baby pictures onto your precious Instagram, and I’m gonna tag all of your friends. Sixty fucking seven. Jesus Christ.”
“It’s okay to be broken. You have every right to be. Just don’t let them keep on breaking you.
“You’re a void, Alex. A vast, beautiful fucking black hole that sucks everything into it and gives nothing back. Ever. Even the goddamn daylight can’t escape you. A dark cloud follows you wherever you go. It’s impossible to miss. You see everything. You judge everyone. You think you know everything. And, underneath all of that, you feel nothing.”
“I have a temper,” he grinds out. “A bad one. I had to master it a long time ago, otherwise it was going to master me. So, yeah. I’m not exactly the most reactive person you’ll ever meet. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on in here,” he says, tapping the side of his head. “I’m not aloof. I’m not cold. I’m not distant. I’m learning. And I feel everything, Silver.”
Alex isn’t safe enough to be right for me, and I’m not whole enough to be right for him, either. That’s really all there is to it.
“That's it then, Argento. The decision's been made. You're mine, and I'm yours. And the whole of Raleigh High is gonna know about it by five minutes past eight, Tuesday morning.”
“There are people out there who poison themselves on purpose,” I tell her. “Small doses, every day.”
This is the part when I realize you’ve stolen my fucking soul and I have no chance of ever getting it back.”
You’re mine, I’m yours, remember.
It was a boy with a clean record, a winning smile and a glorious halo who broke me. Ironically, it’s the boy with the rap sheet, a body full of ink and the dangerous glint in his eye who’s putting me back together.
The Rebel of Raleigh High managed to pull down the moon…and now nothing is impossible.
