21 " Oh, Red. If you want to turn up the heat, you’ve got to be careful not to get burned by the fire. "
― Courtney Cole , If You Stay (Beautifully Broken, #1)
22 " You're too good to me," she announces. "Not possible," I answer. "
23 " Son, you were your mother's peace. You brought her so much peace and joy from the very first time she held you, that she knew she had to name you Pax. Your mother loved you more than anything in the world. She would have gladly given her life a hundred times over to keep you safe. Whatever you do, just live a good life for her. She had so many hopes for you. But when it boils down to it, all she would want is for you to be happy. "
24 " She's the reason I came to your house, remember? She called me or I wouldn't have known that things were so bad. She loves you, Pax. And if there's anything that you should take away from this is that you need to live for today. Tomorrow is not promised to you. "
25 " Pax is worth anything. "
26 " It was nice to meet you, Mila. Thank you for saving my life. "
27 " I love you," I tell him again. "I see that," he laughs, kissing me. "Simple words would have sufficed. You didn't need to knock me down with it." I giggle. "Shut up and kiss me. "
28 " Sometimes we hurt those that we love the most "
29 " Of course. I don't want you to go through that alone. If something hurt you enough to make you want to forget it, I want to help you get through it. let's chase these dreams away, Pax. "
30 " A simple thank you for saving my life would suffice. I don't need for you to carry me off to your bed to show your gratitude. "
31 " No. I can't let you break my heart. I don't have much of it left. "
32 " You can do anything to me at all, actually. Nude or otherwise. "
33 " You don't have to beat around the bush about it, Mila. If you want to be there at sunrise, just pack an overnight bag when you come out. "
34 " You can have all the time that you need, Mila. I'll wait forever if I have to. "
35 " Sometimes love has to put boxing gloves on and be tough in order to survive. Sometimes, you have to do the harder thing-- the thing where you let someone grow on their own. "
36 " ...A veces el amor tiene que ponerse guantes de boxeo y ser fuerte para sobrevivir. A veces, tienes que hacer lo más difícil, dejar que alguien crezca por sí mismo. "
37 " If that was stressful for you, then did you ever think that maybe you made a mistake? That maybe you shouldn't have rejected me? And maybe you should give this thing a chance? "
38 " Lo que puedo ver hasta ahora es que la vida consiste de bien y mal, negro y blanco. Y todo lo que está en medio es una lucha por dominar al otro. La vida es una lucha.Y odio que todo termine en nada. Ese día, en el que simplemente ya no estás aquí.No más sonrisas, no más lagrimas, no más nada.Poof.Luces fuera "
39 " It's okay," I assure her. "I like stalkers. "
40 " I couldn't remember if I thanked you for what you did," I tell her. "And I can't get you out of my head. "
