And When I Ask You To Leave Me Be. Let Me Go. You Say You Cannot Do That. What You Do Not Realize Is

And when I ask you to leave me be. Let me go. You say you cannot do that. What you do not realize is that you already have.

The Heartbreak Theory & The Loss Complex 

Can we just talk for a second about how Warner and Julliete (I refuse to call her Ella) being in love since forever makes Shatter Me even more heart breaking? Like Warner, this ruthless young dictator, suddenly has this seemingly unfound intense attraction to a lethal girl and he can't even fight it because every freaking molecule in his body his telling him he loves her. And he doesn't know what's happening and he dosent understand how he could be so "weak". And no matter how much he tries to protect her from his father he can't because his father knows from years of observing them, that no matter what, Aaron will be in love with her. And Julliete, unconsciously feeling the same way. But imagine all the trauma she had to go through to get that rooted soul mate bond instinct out of her. Then feeling like crap and overcome with a kind of guilt when she finally falls in love with the guy and everyone gives her crap for it and even she can't understand 100% why she did.

"You think Aaron fell in love with your friend of several months, a rebel girl named Juliette. You don’t know. You don’t know. You don’t know that Aaron has been in love with Ella for the better part of his entire life"

" The reason he had to keep wiping their memories was because it didn’t matter how many times he reset the story or remade the introductions— Aaron always fell in love with her. Every time"

Anyone awake and want to talk...

Alec had one hand in Magnus's, and his other hand on the hilt of his seraph blade.

Alec Lightwood in one sentance (Red Scrolls of Magic~ Pg. 156)

“I--I don’t think you should face me when you do it,” she is so quiet. So pure. So young. So gentle.

“I am so sorry,” my voice and heart shatter. Here she is, hope, telling me how to snuff her out. Home, telling me how to burn her down.

I am sobbing. Again. All over again. My heart scabbing and splitting apart, again and again, and again.

“Lucy…” I am crying, like a child, screaming her name. Shaking her head she presses her forehead into mine, squeezing my hand tighter, and I scream again. Scream. Loud. Screeching. No words. Words have failed me too many times before. I yell, feel the sharp pieces of my broken heart stab me, and I scream.

“Andrea, Andrea please, Andrea there is only one song. Andrea, I love you. Andrea, please. I love you. Please.” she is trying to be kind, trying to speak over my outburst, but I cannot focus.

“I love you,” and she is crying too, murmuring it over and over again against my forehead, and I am crying too, throat sore, voice rasping.

“I am so sorry Lucy. So, so, sorry…”

“I know, Andrea. I know. I am too.”

The music comes back into focus and I too quickly recognize our place, in the music, the timeline, the countdown.

“I’ll do it with you…” a brush of her nose, I whimper.

“I’m sorry,”

“I know,”

A graze of her lips.

“I love you,”

A kiss. A breath.

“I know,”

A few more notes.

“I don’t want to do this,”

A few more breaths.

“I know,”

My other hand is now covering her’s, the one with the dagger. It is warm to the touch, her palm is damp, my breath is shallow.

“I’ll make it quick, I--I'll make sure it doesn't hurt,” My voice cracks, my soul fractures.

“I know,”

I wrap my hand around the hilt gripping it, fighting back vomit. Close my eyes, another tear rolls down, she kisses it away.

“I wanted to keep you safe,”

“I know, you did what you could. I don’t blame you. For anything,”

I open my eyes, I can read a million things in her eyes. Too many things. I am already overflowing, I can’t take anymore, but I do. Because I take it all in. Every emotion on display for me, every emotion I would never get to see again. Because I would put that light out. Stomp on it. Crush it.

“I remember when I played this for you, in the sitting room. I wanted to give you something, something you would remember,”

“I remember,”

My dressing gown has slipped off a shoulder. Her eyes brush over it before she leans in to press a small light kiss on my neck, and goosebumps ignite all over me. She pulls away, her fingers leave mine to brush my hair over one shoulder, and then covers the hand with the blade so she has encased it, one hand under it one hand over mine. I brush my free hand over her knuckles and find my fingers reluctant to lift again.

“I’m going to turn around now,” her voice almost blends into the music. Like she is meant to be there. In it. With it. I do not reply, just look up at her. Her burning eyes. Such fire. Such beauty. Such life. That life that had lit my own. Set me alight. Set me up in flames. Bonfire, no sign of fading. But here we were being doused in water. Turning to smoke and steam. When you are done burning alive, all that is left are the burn marks and scars and the absence of the warmth that once flooded your veins. That once reminded you that you were alive. Her hands leave mine as she moves stiffly and I cross my legs, shifting my aching muscles. As she sits in my lap leaning into me, as I wrap my arms around her and bury myself into the crook of her neck, trying to inhale the universes that exist there, I know that if she is not alive, neither will I be, and I suppose that is the point.

Just like I know I will have to hold her lifeless body in my arms before someone comes to get her and I know that is the point.

Just like I know this robe and these hands will be stained with her blood and that is the point.

Just like I know this song will never be the same for me.

Clair de lune. Moonlight will never be the same for me.

And that is the point.

The point is to tear me apart into so many tiny lifeless pieces, that no amount of happy drenched memories or hopeless love affairs could put me back together.

~Excerpt from the short story ‘Dance With Her’~

I often think falling in love is like being stabbed, for more than one reason. See, it is forced upon us without much choice. Plunged into the depths of our soul and we call the pain a blessing because at least something has reached us. Has touched us. At least we feel something. I often think falling in love is like being stabbed, for more than one reason. It is fast and violent, too quick for you to realize what is happening until you stagger back and realize what is really going on. You stare at the hilt jutting out of you, mesmerized, terrified. Because it hurts when it happens, but we are more scared of the pain that will come with the extraction of this thing killing us. We call the removal Heartbreak when really our heart was fractured as soon as we were hit, yet we only start to feel it when the blade that was keeping us together, filling the wound is taken back. And we choose the torture that is love every time Because we know we can either live with this ache or bleed out alone.
