“Alex,” she says. “He likes you. He’s freaking out. You’re gonna have to decide how you feel about him and do something about it. He’s not in a position to do anything else.”

but this is me swallowing my pride standing in front of you, saying sorry for that night, and i go back to december

‘But he thinks of Henry, and, oh. // He thinks about Henry, and something twists in his chest, like a stretch he’s been avoiding for too long.’

[fandomscraziness22]

I'm self destructing With a calm facade Praying someone will notice Hoping no one will

“I don’t know whether this feeling is universal, but I have some way-down vibrating part of my subconscious that needs to self-destruct, at least a little bit.”

"He wants to set himself on fire, but he can't afford for anyone to see him burn."

How can dizzying desire and blinding hatred of yourself twist until they're intertwined and seeded so far within you that you cannot fathom separating them?

it never ends

Alex Claremont-Diaz to Henry Fox in Red, White & Royal Blue movie:

"It's like there's a rope attached to my chest, and it keeps pulling me towards you."

Rochester to Jane Eyre:

"I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly."

“You know, in a lot of ways, your mom and me were a stupid idea. I think we both knew it wouldn't be forever. We're both too fucking proud. But God, that woman. Your mother is, without question, the love of my life. I'll never love anyone else like that. It was wildfire. And I got you and June out of it, best things that ever happened to an old asshole like me. That kind of love is rare, even if it is a complete disaster. Sometimes you just jump and hope it's not a cliff.” — Oscar Diaz, p. 195

“You are the absolute worst idea I've ever had” — ACD, p. 273

“We’re just gonna fucking fight. Because you’re it, okay? I'm never gonna love anyone in the world like I love you.” — ACD, p. 232

“He [Alex] wants to set himself on fire, but he can't afford for anyone to see him burn.” p. 233 + “I thought, this is the most incredible thing I have ever seen, and I had better keep it a safe distance away from me. I thought, if someone like that ever loved me, it would set me on fire.” — HFMW, p. 225

“He [Alex] thought he was reckless before, but he understands now—holding love off was the only thing keeping him from losing himself in this completely, and he’s gone, stupid, lovesick, a fucking disaster.” p. 203

“But the thing is, jumping off cliffs is kinda my thing. That’s the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose.” — ACD, p. 253
