Eli, shhh, your mom would forgive youuuu.
- Quote
- “I’m sorry, Mom. I’m – I’m sorry.” You rubbed your hands hard against your jeans. “I don’t know what happened.”
I loved this line.
- Quote
- It was a question that people couldn’t bring themselves to ask because they didn’t want the answer.
Aaaaaaa
- Quote
- and you smiled because it felt okay for once.
I love Jasper... so much.

- JASPER // 3:16PM
Miserable Birthday then!!
Jasper, please.
- Quote
- Jasper said, “Because there’s a serial killer on the loose that’s targeting cute boys and I’m genuinely worried you’re next.”
Ouch.
- Quote
- It had stopped feeling like home when you started feeling like an unwelcomed guest.
I really loved this line, because there really is no casual way of saying it. The weight will always be there.
- Quote
- You discovered in that moment that the weight of the words would never change, no matter the time that passed, no matter the delivery you gave.
Same, Eli, same.
- Quote
- he dipped his breakfast sausage in maple syrup, which you were fine openly making a disgusted face at him for.
For some reason, I love that Jasper finally asked a question like this. I feel like it shows just how comfortable Jasper is around him, if that makes sense. Like, it's one thing to take someone out for pancakes, and it's another to ask someone a question like that. Then again, Jasper is pretty straightforward, so that might not have been what you were going for.

- “I don’t know. Distant, uncaring almost. It’s like you just don’t care.”
I can see why Eli would want some peace and quiet while visiting his mother, but at the same time, I want to shake him and say, 'HONEY, HERE IS A BOY THAT WILL BE THERE FOR YOU. TALK TO HIM.'
- Quote
- Frankly, you didn’t know how you felt about him because sometimes—when he was especially quiet—you could handle his presence, but a lot of the times—when he wouldn’t shut up—you wanted him to go away.
This line really packed a punch, tbh
- Quote
- In reality, when you lost your Mom, you also lost your Dad.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Is it because of what Eli was saying, or was it the fact that Eli wanted to ask what brought Jasper to the cemetery???
- Quote
- He put his hands in his pockets and this was the first time he didn’t offer you a cigarette.
THIS! I want to say so much more, but I feel like it would just be rambling and I don't want to do that, so just.. THIS.
- Quote
- And it had been, in that fifteen-year-old kind of way. In your naivety that came with being a teenager, you loved Declan. At the time, you didn’t really care that people told you that fifteen year old kids don’t know what love is. You knew that this feeling in your chest was akin to it, at the very least; where Love started, like a seed. This was your first love, you knew it with every fiber of your being. You never said it to him, though.
I can relate to this so hard.
- Quote
- Maybe you had a deep-seeded fear of cars, but nothing could really touch the fear in your heart when you felt yourself being poked at. You had made that mistake before and your Mom always told you to learn from your mistakes.
OKAY, BUT SAME AGAIN!
- Quote
- “Me too.”
I'm still loving his sense of humor
- Quote
- “You didn’t escape being a loser by going to college.”
I'M YELLING!
- Quote
- You actually kinda smiled. “I bet.”
OWWW
- Quote
- Whenever you did this, you could see and understand why your Dad didn’t like to look at you. You looked too much like her.
I'M SO READY, OKAY?
- Quote
- He laughed, light and soft, and you accepted that you liked it.
And this is where everything else began.
Me in high school, I swear. But it also carries much more weight, as he goes from basically pushing away his friends to clinging onto whomever he can get to.
- Quote
- You had met her at the end of junior year because she was overly friendly and you were painfully lonely.
Okay, but I laughed really hard at this.
- Quote
- “That’s strange considering they’re full of people,” you mumbled over the top of your knuckles, fist against your chin and partially pressed against your mouth.
