Teen Killers in Love Quotes

“But when I consider what has been lost: his mind, his voice, his smile. It's not enough. Nothing will ever be enough again.

I knit my hands over my mouth and curl over with a sob as someone sinks heavily into the seat next to me.

'Well, well, well,' he croaks.

I whip around as though I've been slapped...

'Didn't even need three weeks.' The slow wolfish grin lights up his face as he leans, wincing a little, back in his seat. 'All it took was one night thinking I was gone.'

Erik. My Erik. Alive and well.

'Admit it, Signal.' Erik smiles. 'You love me.'

I could kill him.”

“I'm sorry - this is the only way-'

'Erik, what are you doing!'

'Setting you free,' he answers, his mouth right against my ear, his arm crossing over my chest.

And with those words his knife slides into my neck.”

“At the moment of contact a physical rush seizes my entire body, an awareness so intense it's almost panic. Most of my life I've been a head and a pair of hands, only remembering the other parts of myself when they hurt. But kissing Erik, I am the heart of an infinite universe of sensation: I'm the curved shoulder his hand has found, I am the soft skin inside my wrist as it drags against his back, I am the cheek his eyelash brushes, I am the thrashing heart and repeating thought: I can't believe this is happening, this cannot be happening. And I have never, not even once, felt so completely alive.”

“Life is a fuse, and I am the red spark shooting towards its end, each moment burning away as soon as I exist within it, bright, sparkling, then gone.”

“When he looks at me, when he touches me, it's like I transform into this beautiful girl. I know that feeling isn't true. But if a lie feels this good, does it even matter?”

“Computer genius Dennis; exquisite Nobody who saved all our lives; brilliant Erik, with his humor and intelligence and courage; gallant, artistic Javier; beautiful, burning Jada; sunny, steady Kurt - they're just 'Class As' to him. As interchangeable and replaceable as gears in a machine. He'd use and discard them without a second thought, drown all their bright gifts in blood. Because he doesn't see any of the good in us. We're just monsters to him. And if we aren't monsters yet, by the time we get back we will be.”

“I don't,' I stammer. 'Like you. At all.'

One eyebrow goes up, his dimples deepening.

'At all,' I repeat.

'Yeah, well you would if I wanted you to. Like me. Love me even.'

After a moment, I'm able to swallow. 'Not a chance.'

'Desperately.' He draws the word out. 'It'd take, hmmm...' He closes one eye, calculating. 'Three weeks? A month tops.”

“Except for me,' Erik say viciously. 'Everyone gets a fresh start except mean old Erik.

'You've been calling me a weakling and telling me I don't belong here since I got here!'

'Yeah, and I'm right!' he says with cold fury. 'Maybe that's what really bothers you about me. I don't pretend either of us is something we're not. I don't ask you to make me daisy chains in a meadow or tell you you're a flower. I'm just myself with you, terrifying though I may be, because I trust you can handle it. But you can't. You're determined to think the worst of me!”

“I've never been so dizzy. The ground bobs up and down, up and down, like I'm on a swing. Black magnetic filings eat through reality and knit into darkness, and all I know is I'm on the ground again.”
