2 " If you’re far from the enemy, make him believe you’re near. "
3 " A scar means I survived. "
4 " Sometimes the king is a woman "
5 " I watch her closely. The slight twitch in her nose as she laughs. The few stray strands that fly all over her face. The flushed skin due to running. The rosy lips. She’s so fucking beautiful. And she’s happy. The fact that she erased me this fast deepens the dark hole inside my chest. If she can get over me so quickly, why the fuck has she told me she loved me? Empty words. Empty promises. "
6 " Teal’s T-shirt for the day reads, I’d agree with you, but we’d both be wrong. "
7 " She’s wearing a pullover, with the words, If you see me jogging, kill whatever the hell is chasing me written on it. "
8 " Death or life. Darkness or hope. "
9 " Even when I laugh and smile and act completely normal, I can still sense the void inside. The terrifying hollowness. It echoes through my empty chest like an old rusty bell. It hurts. It really fucking hurts. The worst part is that I can’t even talk about it to anyone. They’d think I’m broken beyond repair. "
10 " when you feel bad, you should keep that energy inside.” “Why inside?” “So you can store it for later. Bad things happen for a reason. "
11 " What I feel for you isn’t only love, obsession, or addiction. It’s all of those and more. Do you know what that means, sweetheart? It means I can’t live without you, so don’t you fucking dare leave me. "
12 " The truth screws you over before it sets you free. "
13 " There hasn’t been a day where I haven’t thought about you. Every time I manage to sleep, I dream of you. You were my obsession since we were kids, but now it’s way fucking worse. I don’t know how I managed to spend eight years without you in my life when now I suffocate if I don’t see you for hours.” My eyes fill with tears. “Aiden…” “Choose me, Elsa. Choose us. "
14 " My intentions towards your daughter are simple,” I say with the calmest, most determined voice I can manage. “She’s mine. "
15 " I couldn’t care less about families clashing. I’ve already taken a side and it’s Elsa’s. "
16 " We have a problem, Jonathan. "
17 " I don’t remember my dreams,” I tell the boy with grey eyes. He pinches my cheek. “I’ll dream for the both of us.” “Promise?” “Promise, Elsa. "
18 " My eyes widen at his wild heartbeat. I always forget how erratic Aiden’s heartbeat can go. Like thunderstorms. Deadly, but also alive. So, so alive. “You owe me from the past, Elsa.” A different type of flutter snakes into my heart. This one is painful and destructive. I stare at my lap. “T-that was my mother, not me.” “She’s dead. You’re alive.” He tilts his head. “I’ll take what I can get. "
19 " Elsa isn’t the reason.” “Her father is.” “And so are you.” He pauses for a second, his jaw ticking. “What did you just say?” “You heard me,” I speak in my deepest, lowest tone. “You burnt that factory down, knowing Ethan would retaliate by harming your most precious things. But you know what? That’s not why Alicia died. She died because she was trapped in this world when her soul lived elsewhere. All she needed was you and me to root her here. You knew her needs, but you barely spared her your time. Your hunger for power and your ambition came first, and we were an afterthought. "
20 " Sometimes the king is a woman. "
