I wandered through the silent corridors of Willowbrook. Moonlight spilled through the stained-glass windows. The academy appeared peaceful. Almost ordinary. Almost. As I passed the ruins of the library, I stopped. The fire had long since been extinguished. Only blackened shelves remained. Burned pages drifted across the floor. I knelt and picked one up. Most of the writing had been destroyed. But one sentence remained intact. "The greatest betrayal is born not from hatred... but from love." A cold shiver ran down my spine. "What does that mean?"

, " You're wrong; I desperately want freedom; my soul indeed feels lost, but it's still drowning in an endless pit of hell. What I want, is to be free " " And how do you think you can be free when you reek of anger, when your voice carries a heavy weight of pain? How do you think you can be free when your actions scream for revenge? If you think dying sets you free, then you might have just deceived yourself a big time".

It was the way he seemed to encircle me, always there, never too close, never too far, his presence both reassuring and suffocating. I sat up, hugging my knees to my chest. The room was quiet, save for Mia’s soft breathing from the bunk above me. She’d fallen asleep ages ago, blissfully unaware of my emotional turmoil. Lucky her, or lucky me, don’t know! I glanced around our tiny, shared space, hoping for a distraction. The walls were covered in mismatched posters—Mia’s were bright and cheerful, featuring K-pop stars with jawlines sharper than my wit. Mine were moodier: abstract art and a single poster of an old movie Ethan had forced me to watch. It was called ‘Dead Poets Society’, and I’d

I could remember nothing. I lowered my head, apologetic. “I’m sorry, Professor Sharp… I truly was wrong.” “Wrong? How could you be wrong?” He scoffed. “Weren’t you the one who said a woman should chase love, while only men chase their careers?

"Come bitter conduct! Come unsavory guide! Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on. The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark! Here's to my love. O true apothecary!" "Thy drugs are quick," I added in a hoarse whisper as Zane leaned down, tilting my chin toward his lips.

"when Whitman wrote, "I sing the body electric" I know what he meant I know what he wanted: to be completely alive every moment in spite of the inevitable. we can't cheat death but we can make it work so hard that when it does take us it will have known a victory just as perfect as ours. -Charles Bukowski. This is our victory. And it's perfect. Marry me." What? She read it again. She looked down at him and there was ring in the box now. It was a beautiful oval diamond with gray pearls set on each side.
