centrum permanebit

Didn’t you just say I’m brilliant and know everything? Then trust me on this. Always, I said, letting her pull me back down to her. Always.

Let me endure whatever there is to come.

We are the center and the center will hold.

You and I have been through too much together. We’re too close, too connected.

Her face the picture of serenity.

Out of old habit, I put my hand on my collarbone, touching a cross that was no longer there. Don’t let them change me, Let me keep my mind. Let me endure whatever there is to come.

But when I touch you, your aura… it smolders. The colors deepen, it burns more intensely, the purple increases. Why? Why, Sydney? Why do you react that way if I don’t mean anything to you?                                                                                                                          for clara ♥

My muscles didn’t feel as though they could sustain me, and there was a great swelling in my chest, the result of a tangle of emotions I couldn’t even begin to describe. Love. Joy. Relief. Disbelief. And mixed in with all of them were the emotions that I’d endured these last few months as well: despair, fear, sorrow. It spread out from my heart, and I felt tears form in my eyes. It wasn’t possible that one person could make you experience so many emotions at once, that one person could trigger a universe of feelings, simply with the sound of your name.

Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you’re less. Do not ever let anyone make you feel like you’re invisible. Do not let anyone push you around.

Being with you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, the one perfect decision I’ve made in a lifetime of fumbling and poor judgment.

Did you dream of what it might be like to see the light again? You know I didn’t.

Out of old habit, I put my hand on my collarbone, touching a cross that was no longer there. Don’t let them change me, Let me keep my mind. Let me endure whatever there is to come.

I told you before.

Sorry, Sage. Last I checked, you aren’t an expert in social matters… At least I take action. You? You let the world go by without you. You have no spine. You don’t fight back.

“All right,” I managed to say, just before I crumpled to the floor. “Let’s see what you’ve got.”
