❛  that’s part of her charm.  ❜ ❛  it was just a dream.  ❜ ❛  you’re fighting your own private wars.  ❜ ❛  i’m still thinking about that kiss.  ❜ ❛  not that i know a damn thing about love.  ❜ ❛  what the hell was wrong with that guy?  ❜ ❛  kissing didn’t mean a damn thing.  ❜

   — remember the rain

❛  are you going to spend your life beating up on yourself?  ❜ ❛  maybe i’ll fall in love.  ❜ ❛  i’ll never lie to you about anything.  ❜ ❛  maybe everyone loves differently.  ❜ ❛  she always made me feel so loved.  ❜ ❛  i don’t understand why you’re so upset.  ❜ ❛  do you wish i was dead?  ❜ ❛ it feels so crazy.  ❜ ❛  the world would be lucky to have more people like her.  ❜ ❛  i hardly recognized her.  ❜ ❛  there are too many secrets in the world.  ❜

   — all the secrets of the universe

❛  i thought you two talked about everything.  ❜ ❛  we’re just like everyone else in the world.  ❜ ❛  how well do you know him?  ❜ ❛  i knew i had to say something to him, but i didn’t know what.  ❜ ❛  i should’ve been here.  ❜ ❛  everybody needs a friend.  ❜ ❛  i wanted to beat the holy shit out him right then and there.  ❜ ❛  what do you want me to say?  ❜ ❛  don’t screw with me, asshole.  ❜ ❛  i need you to tell me why.  ❜ ❛  i didn’t know i could love you this much.  ❜ ❛  to be careful with people & with words is a rare and beautiful thing.  ❜ ❛  the bastard left you there to die.  ❜ ❛  in my head, i was kissing you.  ❜ ❛  why would you risk your own life to save him if you didn’t love him?  ❜ ❛  how can you love me so much?  ❜ ❛  this whole friend thing, i can’t do it.  ❜ ❛  i don’t want to talk about that.  ❜ ❛  i wasn’t afraid anymore.  ❜

roh’s favourites: Andrew Minyard & Neil Josten's relationship in All for the Game by Nora Sakavic

A group of people shouldered their way up to the bar counter at Neil's back, pushing him into Andrew. Andrew didn't budge beneath his weight. He was something solid to lean against, something violent and fierce and unmoving. Neil couldn't remember what it felt like to have someone hold him up. It was terrifying and liberating all at once. His life was out of his control now; he was giving it to Andrew and hoping Andrew would keep it safe.

❛  they never let you be famous and happy.  ❜ ❛  perhaps it’s the greatest grief to be left on earth when another is gone.  ❜ ❛  he’s a weapon, a killer; do not forget it.  ❜ ❛  i will tell them nothing.  ❜ ❛  no man is worth more than another.  ❜ ❛  he is half of my soul.  ❜ ❛  name one hero who was happy.  ❜ ❛  i would know him blind.  ❜ ❛  there are no bargains between lions and men.  ❜ ❛  i will never leave him.  ❜ ❛  he did it to himself.  ❜ ❛  fame is a strange thing.  ❜ ❛  i feel like i could eat the world raw.  ❜ ❛  it is right to seek peace for the dead.  ❜ ❛  nations are the most foolish of mortal inventions.  ❜ ❛  you will not keep me from him.  ❜ ❛  go, he waits for you.  ❜ ❛  i would know him in death, at the end of the world.  ❜ ❛  you can use a spear for a walking stick, but it will not change its nature.  ❜ ❛  i am glad that he is dead.  ❜ ❛  he was always better with words than i.  ❜ ❛  do not touch me!  ❜ ❛  i cannot save them all.  ❜ ❛  there is no law that gods must be fair.  ❜ ❛  i had not seen a death of a human before.  ❜ ❛  you have never deserved him.  ❜

    — the different rules of summer

❛  sometimes when people talk, they don’t always tell the truth.  ❜ ❛  laughter is another one of life’s mysteries.  ❜ ❛  i was ashamed of myself for being ashamed of myself.  ❜ ❛  the world is a dark place.  ❜ ❛  i was mostly invisible.  ❜ ❛  why couldn’t he just talk?  ❜ ❛  maybe everyone is a little sad.  ❜ ❛  how do you put up with this guy?  ❜ ❛  someday, i’m going to discover all the secrets of the universe.  ❜ ❛  i’ve never seen you that mad.  ❜

❛  i’m always looking for you.  ❜ ❛  don’t be an asshole.  ❜ ❛  you’re not afraid of anything.  ❜ ❛  i have bad dreams too.  ❜ ❛  all i did was smile at him.  ❜ ❛  we’re too nice, you know that?  ❜ ❛  i don’t always have to understand the people i love.  ❜ ❛  where does that leave you?  ❜ ❛  i woke up and i felt lost.  ❜ ❛  everyone expected something from me — something i just couldn’t give.  ❜

    — the end of summer
