I reach him and he can barely look at me, and that alone feels like he’s shoved his hand inside my chest and ripped out a chunk of what’s left of my heart and threw it on the floor. It’s so hypocritical of me to be hurt when I’m the one doing the hurting. Constantly.

📚What We Broke

It’s another late afternoon of coming home to an empty house, and I don’t know how much longer I can do it. It doesn’t matter that he sleeps here every night; the absence between us is so profound I feel it every hour of every day. 
A house without him hurts more than the thought of fighting with him. 
At least if we’re fighting, he’d be here. 
No matter how angry he is, or how much his words hurt, I want him here. I don’t believe in distance, I don’t believe in taking a break. And he knows that.

📚What We Broke

“What are you asking of me, Leo? Are you really asking me to let you go?” 
“Please,"
“The only way I’ll ever let you go is if I’m six feet under. It’s till death do us part, baby. And we’re both still here.”

📚What We Broke

Logic told me he was spiraling. We were spiraling. We had been all year. But my heart didn’t care. My heart was his and had been since the moment I laid eyes on him. To have and to hold. To love and protect. But there were also the unspoken vows. Like how my heart was his to wreck and to ruin. To damage and destroy. 
I was confident we were the forever type of love, even if right now we are nothing more than a hollow center and frayed edges.

She is the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
The sun after a rainy, cloud-filled day.

📚What We Broke

“I caught their boss in the tunnels and cut his head off. He had long, greasy hair, so I wrapped my hand around it…I cracked about four bodyguards’ faces in with it. Then I threw on their uniform and used the radio to track where everyone was.”
“Jesus,” Luciella blurts, screwing her face up. “I didn’t need to picture that when I feel so sick already.”
“Sorry, sweetheart.”

I was shocked when I saw that he was alive, but now, I’m starting to get pissed the fuck off. I mourned this motherfucker for months, and the whole time he’s been shacking it up here, sleeping in one of the new beds, using the shower room and eating from the kitchen while I was losing my fucking mind thinking he was gone.

“Make my shitty life a little better by being Stacey Mitchell.”

“Name three of your favourite things.”
“You.”
“Two more?”
“The dogs, — And my family.”

“Before anyone else, love yourself, Miss Rhodes. You cannot give your all to someone if you aren’t doing the same for yourself.”
