wondering how nature could produce something so beautiful in such an ugly world.

“No more running, baby. I want him to come looking for you just so I can have the privilege of ending his life for touching what’s mine.”

“I wasn’t yours then. You didn’t even know me.”
“You were always destined to be mine,”
“It doesn’t matter if he’s dead or alive, he’ll always haunt me,”
“Then I will haunt you worse.”
“That's where you will find the meaning of life. And that's where you will find a life with me worth living.”
“Non ti odio, Sawyer,”
“I wanted to say it was the truth when you asked if I hated you, but I couldn’t lie, so I said nothing. And every time I laid eyes on you today, all I could think was that I never really did.”
“Choose to live, bella. Choose me.”
“I’m sorry, bella,”
“I’ve been punishing you for something you didn’t do—something beyond stealing an identity. I’ve been making you hurt because I’m hurt, but you’re not the one who broke me. And it was never my right to break you.”
I wanted to take all her broken pieces, and fucking shatter them—turn them into dust so she could never be whole again.
“Can you, like, not make me cry right now, please? I’m trying to look like a badass.”
The corner of my lip tips up. She makes me smile,
“If worshiping you is what you ask, I’d be happy to spend the rest of my life on my knees,”
“You are so sleeping on the floor tonight.”
For her, I would.
“È impossibile odiarti quando mi fai sentire così vivo,” I start, slipping two fingers past her lips and hooking them over her teeth, bringing her closer.
“Ed è esattamente per questo che voglio odiarti. Prima di incontrare te ero un sonnambulo. Cazzo, non ero pronto a svegliarmi.”
“Ti penso ogni ora, ogni minuto, ogni dannato secondo. Non so che fare.”
“L’oceano era l’unico posto in cui mi sentivo a casa,”
“Era l’unica cosa che mi eccitava e dava pace. Hai rovinato anche questo. Sentirti su di me è meglio di immergersi nell’oceano. Neanche con questa rivelazione so che fare.”
“I forgive you now.”
“Yet, I will never stop asking for it,”
“I will never stop worshiping you.”
“You will be mine until you draw your last breath, Sawyer. And it will be my hand holding you beneath the surface, introducing you to death.”
“Ma solo quando sono pronto a venire con te. Annegheremo insieme, bella ladra.”
“There’s a place in the ocean, so deep, where not a single point of light penetrates through it. And for so long, I’ve been trapped there, unable to breathe. When I met you, you lifted me out of that darkness, and it was the first time I came up for air. You’ve become my oxygen, bella ladra, and I can no longer breathe without you.”
How do I tell her that I’m only angry because I wanted to see the life drain from his eyes, too? How do I say that I would’ve loved to see her end his miserable life and then probably fuck her for it after?
