Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’m not so sure what’s more terrifying, the violent storm inside my head or the silence.” —Oliver Masters
“The two slowest deaths are absence and time.” —Oliver Masters
“If reality becomes unbearable, close your eyes. We were made with an imagination.”
“Embrace it, Mia. Every moment, no matter how long it lasts, it’s all worth it, yeah?” Ollie had once said. Yeah, Ollie. It was all worth it.
“What’s keeping me up at night is the haunting memory of that last breath you took right in front of me.” —Oliver Masters
Every way, we’d fit without flaw. Her body was my kingdom come. Her divine kiss was my salvation.
Her soul was mine’s paradise. Mia was my evermore. And I’d known since the moment my soul felt hers.
“The truth is, I’m not normal. Is that too much for you to handle?” —Oliver Masters
“I’ll wake up when the nightmare is over.” —Oliver Masters
She was my life source, and though I was confused by a lot, I was certain of one thing: I needed her. Like breathing, I fucking needed her.
“The cruel irony is you are my forever but not my right now.” —Oliver Masters
my evermore.
“Where you remind me I’m weak, Ollie reminded me I wasn’t alone.”
Tears reminded us we could feel. Pain reminded us we were alive. And I’d rather feel too much than feeling nothing at all.
“Do not fear the hurt in their eyes. Instead, fear when hurt fades to hollow. For the difference between the two is the heart.” —Oliver Masters
“When the night arrives, and all the stars have died, you are still not alone. I go through many phases, but I will never leave. When all is lost, wish upon me. —advice from the moon.” —Oliver Masters
You’re Mia and Ollie. Never broken, only bent.
She needed me. I need you more. So much that it fucking hurts.
“I physically couldn’t because I’m a slave to you.”
Despite the void, every part of me still belonged to her. My head knew it. My heart knew it.
Please, wait for me. Just stay with me, Mia.” “Even when you’re gone?” I placed my hands over her face and pulled her away so I could see her as my
eyes watered. Fuck, I was about to break. She still had belief in the two of us. Somehow, she understood me. My lips met her forehead, and I breathed in the scent of her and buried it into my memory. “Especially when I’m gone.”
There are cracks, but now the light can shine through.
Mia and I was something worth fighting for. We were written in the stars. That’s the thing about love. Once it touched you, it didn’t go away. It was laced in every breath. It was embedded in your skin. It seeped
deep into your soul and lived forever, and you spent your entire life feeding that single heavenly feeling afraid it would leave at some point. But love never leaves you. It only hides behind every temporary emotion until you deserve to be embraced by it again.
“Even on the meds, every whisper is a scream.
Every dig is a blow. Every look is a blame. Every smile makes me high,”
“If you don’t walk out of here with Mia, know there are other fish in the sea.” In an instant, my smile faded. “You don’t get it. Mia is the sea.”
“You don’t have to be afraid, love,” he whispered, and I squeezed my eyes closed to ease the burn. “I know you’re hurting, but we’re going to get through this.”
“Anything that happens to you, happens to me. Every blow, every setback, every burn, every bloody beating. You are not alone in this. You hurt, I hurt. You’re in pain, I’m in pain. Whatever you go through, I feel it because you’re a part of me. We’re in this together.”
If I were honest with myself, she never belonged to me. She belonged to this world, and the only way to truly love her was to love her unselfishly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have loved her at all.
“Kiss her crazy and love her insane.” —Oliver Masters
Didn’t he know? Love was attracted to the soul inside, blind to everything else. No one had an option—no choice in the fucking matter. Love had no guilt, fear, or negatives—only pure in form, attacking the organs, embedding itself deep, hungry, to thrive and grow. Shamelessly, love had no barriers or rules, and the real tragedy was the resistance from the close-minded. One day, love would conquer fear. It’s only a matter of time, Liam.
“Hey, if you’re a psycho, then I’ll love you insane.”
“You’re a thief in the night, robbing my gaze, swiping my hand, stripping my breath, cheating the odds, stealing my heart, and I don’t mind.” —Oliver Masters
“Fall apart so we can fall in place, together,”
“Consuming, timeless, unselfish, love. I’d loved you in my darkest hour when I wasn’t myself, and I’ll love you in every lifetime after this.”
“When the sun dies and darkness bleeds, she’s the black sheep I’m counting; A loose cannon; another’s regret. A what-if, and repeated mistake. She dances for no one and howls with the wolves. A moon child with the spirit of a mood ring. She’s my all-time love.”
Distance, demons, fate, time … eat your fucking heart out.
“The most dangerous man is a man in love,” he faced me, eyes wild and calm concurrently, “because I’d tear off my own flesh before someone hurts you … and if I’d do that to myself, imagine what I’d do to someone else.”
“Sometimes all we need is someone who will sit in the dark with us.” —Oliver Masters
Mia and Ollie, forever. “Evermore,”
