1 " Every morning, if you are really lucky, you get to wake up. You get to make a choice of how you want to spend the next twenty-four hours on the planet. You have the opportunity to make a difference. "
― Scarlett Cole , Next Time I Fall (Excess All Areas, #2)
2 " The songs are Matt’s songs. The lyrics are his experiences. I’m just the way he shares his emotions with the world. He thinks I don’t understand him, but I do. I sing his truth, his pain, the stuff that happened to him every fucking time I stand on that stage. "
3 " You know we’re going to happen, right? "
4 " So you don’t think I’m being deliberately cryptic, you’re so much more than a distraction. I know shit’s complicated, but don’t think I don’t know the difference between a distraction and something terrifyingly real. "
5 " The next time I really fall in love with someone for all the right reasons, it’ll be you, if you’ll let me. "
6 " I want the implications, Cerys. For the first time in my life, I look forward to there being repercussions for my actions. I want to kiss you and know that tomorrow, I get to kiss you again. Until you’re ready to do something more than kiss. I want the steps to have meaning. I don’t want to blast through them all in one night and then have nothing to look forward to but an awkward goodbye the next morning. "
7 " You’re my choice, Jase. I don’t know where this will go, but I’m committed to figuring that out with you. "
8 " I’m sorry. Did I go too far?”… “You went further than anyone else has . . . and I needed to hear it. Your faith in me makes me feel like I could conquer all of it. "
9 " You turned out to be so different from who everyone thinks you are … beneath the ink and swagger, there’s a sensitive guy with complex emotions who I already feel more for than is probably healthy after only two weeks. "
10 " Have I told you I’m going to fall in love with you? All the way in love with you.”Her heart exploded in her chest. “You might have mentioned it.”“Have you had any thoughts on whether you might do the same?”“Jase, come on,” Matt yelled again. “Flirt with Cerys later.”Jase looked down the corridor. “Gimme a minute.” He focused his gaze back on her. “I need an answer, Cerys.”“Yes, Jason Palmer, I think I’m going to fall in love with you too.”Jase grinned and walked down the corridor with his fist in the air like Judd Nelson at the end of The Breakfast Club. She couldn’t help but laugh. "
11 " Some bonds are so fucking durable they can be tested every day our entire lives and they just won’t break … I might fucking stumble. But I know the next time I fall, you’ll catch me … I won’t feel like I’m on my own. "
