Citations de H. D. Carlton (48)
The atmosphere has only worsened, and I can’t tell if it’s because I now know he’s some vigilante, saving children and women from evil people, or if it’s because he confessed that he’s only ever turned into a psycho for me. Still, both prospects have shifted the way I look at him.
When you make someone fall in love with the darkest parts of you, there’s nothing you can do that will scare them away. They will be yours forever because they already love all the fucked up bits and pieces of you.
And I have no fucking shame. I never claimed to be a good man. She slides into her bed, curls up under the duvet, and picks up an old leather book. Her great-grandmother’s diary. After Addie had left one day to run errands or some shit, I flipped through the pages. Her great-grandmother also had a stalker. It made me smile when I realized history was repeating itself.
Too often, I’d hear my mother telling my father that I was a freak. That something was wrong with me. No one in their right mind likes being scared. But I do. I love it. Which is why having a stalker is the worst thing for someone like me. I’m susceptible to enjoying the fear a bit too much. My love for horror is going to get me killed one day. It’s like I was meant to be hunted. Little mouse. That name is going to haunt me. I’m not prey. I’m not.
But I refuse to run. I can’t explain it, but it feels like I’m letting them win. I’ve only been back in Parsons Manor for a week, and already I’m being pushed out of it. I can’t explain why I have the need to stick it out. Test this mystery person. Challenge them and show them I’m not scared of them.
All I want to do is break her. Shatter her into pieces. And then arrange those pieces to fit against my own. I don’t care if they don’t fit—I’ll fucking make them. And I know I’m about to do something bad. I know that I’m going to cross lines that I will never be able to come back from, but there’s not an ounce of me that gives a fuck. Because I’m obsessed. I’m addicted. And I will gladly cross every single line if it means making this girl mine. If it means forcing her to be mine.
'There’s a place in the ocean, so deep, where not a single point of light penetrates through it. And for so long, I’ve been trapped there, unable to breathe. When I met you, you lifted me out of that darkness, and it was the first time I came up for air. You’ve become my oxygen, bella ladra, and I can no longer breathe without you.'
'[…] Life has a funny way of throwing people into your path when you’re meant to collide. It’s up to you to choose to make it permanent.'
