Rhys took a long sip of whatever was in his cup. It didn't look like tea. 'Good morning, Feyre.'

He studied my teal and gold clothes, a variation of my daily attire. If I had to admit, I didn't mind them. 'That colour suits you.'

If you have trouble coming up with an answer then you're one of the lucky few who were following your heart right out of the gates.

We all live in fear but those who live in the least amount of fear are the ones who never care to look back.”

To me it felt like it was only yesterday that all we could do was talk to each other
To me it felt like it was only yesterday that I'd fall asleep with you on my mind and be awakened with a smile from your morning messages

To me it felt like it was only yesterday when you left my mind and heart in a million pieces”

Then Justin, afraid of what it meant, afraid of how he felt, afraid of what it made him, ran and has been running from and avoiding Lucas for these four years.

Now Justin wants to try to make things right with Lucas; he wants his best friend back. But maybe it's too late. Maybe Lucas has moved on. Read the story to find out if Justin is successful.

“It's been more than thousands of years and we're still grappling with common issues and fighting for our identity, beliefs, freedom, food and expression. Nobody seeks redemption. No one wants peace. If that had not been so we wouldn't have the arms and ammunitions factory as the world's largest industry in the world.
It is like we are hopping from one delusion to another and the endless cycle of multiple human cravings. Wise is he who fixes his basic needs very naturally and is idle left alone. One who wants nothings. For only he can think and look for what he really wants.”

“It’s been my experience that ninety-five percent of the people who walk the earth are simply inert, Johnny. One percent are saints, and one percent are assholes. The other three percent are the people who do what they say they can do. I’m in that three percent, and so are you. You earned that money. I’ve got people in the mills that take home eleven thousand dollars a year for doing little more than playing with their dicks. But I’m not bitching. I’m a man of the world, and all that means is I understand what powers the world. The fuel mix is one part high-octane to nine parts pure bullshit. You’re no bullshitter. So you put that money in your wallet and next time try to value yourself a little higher.”

“It's been nice
having your van in my driveway.
Maybe for just two weeks before you go,
I can have the vision come untrue,
long enough to forget
when I thought I was going to have your van
in my driveway every morning,
and your sleepy noises
the first thing that I heard in a day,
as you whispered how you couldn't stay,
but "wished you could,"
in independence's place.
I told you,
"I never revise a poem.
Make sure, in your moment of self-defeat,
that you are sure,
because once I hit 'save',
your decision will never
delete.”

“It's been over a year since they've visited their son's market. As they walk through the parking lot they take in a number of improvements. Brian admires the raised garden beds made of cedar planks that flank the sides of the lot. There are stalks of tomatoes, staked beans, baskets of green herbs- oregano, lavender, fragrant blades of lemongrass and pointed curry leaf. The planter of baby lettuces has a chalkboard hung from its side: "Just add fork." A wheelbarrow parked by the door is heaped with bright coronas of sunflowers, white daisies, jagged red ginger and birds-of-paradise. Avis feels a leap of pride as they enter the market: the floor of polished bamboo, the sky-blue ceiling, the wooden shelves- like bookshelves in a library. And the smells. Warm, round billows of baking bread, roasting garlic and onions and chicken.”
