“Her name is Wanda, not it. You will not touch her. Any mark you leave on her, I will double on your worthless hide.”
lapping this shit up just as much as i did at thirteen
again. “I don’t think I was wrong, but you did save my life. I don’t know why, but you did. So I figure, a life for a life. I won’t kill you. I’ll pay the debt that way.”
[shang voice] a life for a life. my debt is repaid
“Who’s got the crush on a worm, bro? You gonna call me stupid?”
kyle calling him out always killedddd me
“It’s not the face, but the expressions on it. It’s not the voice, but what you say. It’s not how you look in that body, but the things you do with it. You are beautiful.”

I’d no idea that she cared so much for me. Almost as much as I cared for her. I hadn’t realized that we loved each other.
🥹 sisterhood 😭
I’d been staring ahead, toward the lights of the hospital and the figures of the souls crossing in front of those lights, as I told the story. Now I looked at Jared for the first time. He was gaping at me, his eyes wide and his mouth hanging open. It really was one of my best stories.
i don't remember this scene at all, probably bc it's like ten fucking pages at least and unnecessary and boring as fuck
“You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me.”
yaaaas
“But I love her, Ian.” He closed his eyes, and his pale lips went dead white. “But I love you,” he whispered. “Doesn’t that matter?” “Of course it matters. So much. Can’t you see? That only makes it more… necessary.” His eyes flashed open. “Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it? I can keep my mouth shut, Wanda. I won’t say it again. You can be with Jared, if that’s what you want. Just stay.”
ate this uP
“I love you,” I whispered. “Don’t say that like you’re saying goodbye.” But I had to. “I, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.”
“I truly love you, Ian.” It was the only way I could tell him goodbye. The only way he would accept. I knew he would remember later and understand. “With my whole soul, I love you.” “I truly love you, too, my Wanderer.”
“Give me a lie, Jared. Tell me you want me to stay.”
tell me a lie by one direction.mp3
“I love you, Wanda.” I sighed. “Thanks, Jared. You know how much I love you. With my whole heart.”
okay this actually does still fuck me up
Thank you, Wanda. My sister. I will never forget you. Be happy, Mel. Enjoy it all. Appreciate it for me. I will, she promised. Bye, we thought together.
and THIS still makes me tear up!
you but him.” Ian squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper through all the hair. His voice was so low that I was the only one who could hear. “I held you in my hand, Wanderer. And you were so beautiful.”
i'm still pissed they cut this from the movie
I was working to put the last of the jealousy and the perplexing echoes of the love I still felt for Jared behind me. I didn’t need or want them. Ian was the right partner for me. But sometimes I would catch myself staring at Jared and feel confused. I’d seen Melanie touch Ian’s arm or hand and then jerk away as if she’d suddenly remembered who she was. Even Jared, who had the least reason for uncertainty, would occasionally meet my confused gaze with a searching one of his own. And Ian… Of course it must have been hardest for him. I understood that.
time to start a polycule !

And then he kissed me in the most unplatonic way possible under the crowded circumstances, and I was thrilled to remember that I’d been smart enough to lie about my age.
