Quote by Braelyn Wilson

“He thought about it for a moment and laughed. Laughed this vibrant, spirited laugh that I wanted to hear on a loop for the rest of my days. It was the kind of laugh that you wanted playing from a stereo and having it on full blast while you drove in the car. The kind of laugh you wanted to be reminded of whenever you forgot it, which would be hard to forget, but in the case that you did, an instant reminder was in store. The kind that would never get old, no matter how many times you heard it. The kind of laugh that made your heart want to dance. That was his laugh. What his laugh was to me.”

“He looked like the prime definition of someone who was at peace. At peace within themselves, at peace within the world. Caspian Marks was at peace, and I knew at that moment that he would be all right and would continue to be at peace whenever I left this world. Seeing him like that, right then and there, I think gave me every bit of reassurance I ever needed. Reassurance I wasn’t aware I needed in the first place.”

“You are one of the very scarce souls that are left truly pure- hearted, Caspian Marks. I need you to promise me, to stop depending on me, thriving on our friendship, and detach yourself from me, because I will not allow myself, I will not allow this—what is to come—to corrupt you. Corrupt all that you are and all that you can be.”

“I wanted to shove him off of me and tell him that he couldn’t love me, that he didn’t know me long enough, and that we were too young and he was too foolish and he didn’t know what he was talking about. He may have not known me long enough, but he knew me better than anyone else. And we may have been too young, but he was wise beyond the ages. And what he said may have been foolish, but he was the least foolish person I knew. And I couldn’t say he didn’t know what he was talking about, because Caspian Marks always knew what he was talking about, and he knew that he loved me.”

“He cried and he cried, and his heart beat and leaped and danced and pranced, and for that moment, I thought, my heart is about to run off with his, and I’m not going to stop it. But I did. I stopped it. I grabbed my heart in the palm of my hands and I squeezed it. I squeezed it so hard. So hard so it was crippled enough to stay in place and not have the ability to move and feel every emotion and feeling it wanted to feel. And I cried. I cried and I cried, and my heart beat and leaped and danced and pranced and... I didn’t know what to say or what to do. I didn’t know what to feel and what not to feel.”

“I am not okay with you attempting to fix a girl who is already broken beyond any sense of repair, Caspian Marks. It is not your job to repair what you have not broken. It is not your job to take time out of your life, your very meaningful life, all to help a girl who has never asked for it. You are always trying to rescue me like some damsel in distress when I do not want to be saved. I refuse to take away from you living your life, when I am already letting mine slip out of my hands, willingly. Let me go, Caspian Marks. You have to let me be.”
