"Once the rain starts falling it doesn't stop just because you tell it to. I guess it stops in its own time. My tears, like the rain, kept falling as I made my way home through blurry vision. In truth it's difficult to describe a broken heart. All I know is that unimaginable pain-this throbbing, sharp ache that almost incapacitates you-centers in you chest and radiates out. But there's more than the ache. Denial lodges itself in your throat, and that lump is its own kind of pain. The affliction of heartbreak can also be found in a knot in your stomach. The knot contracts and expands, contracts, and expands, until you're pretty sure you're not going to be able to hold down the vomit."
-Jocelyn Pg.263
"Jealousy is a horrible thing-the pain of it is almost as consuming as heartbreak"
- Jocelyn Pg.283

Favorite Quotes from Stolen - Lucy Christopher
“Why?” I whispered.
“I had to take you.”
"I chased the money, pretended to be someone else to get it. It got easier the longer I did it... but that's the trap, see? When the deadness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself."
- Ty Pg. 166
"But I hated you for something else, too. Right, then and at every moment since you'd left me, all I could think about was you. I wanted your arms around me, your face close to mine. I wanted your smell. And I knew I couldn't - shouldn't - have it. That's what I hated most. The uncertainty of you. You'd kidnapped me, put my life in danger.. but I loved you, too. Or thought I did. None of it made sense"
- Gemma Pg. 289
"And lets face it, you did steal me. But you saved my life, too. And somewhere in the middle, you showed me a place so different and beautiful I can never get it out of my mind. And I can't get you out of there, either. you're stuck in my brain like my own blood vessels."
- Gemma Pg. 292
"I can't save you like that Ty.
What you did to me wasn't this brilliant thing, like you think it was. You took me away from everything - my parents, my friends, my life. You took me to the sand and the heat, the dirt, and isolation. And you expected me to love you. And that's the hardest part. Because I did, or at least I loved something out there."
- Gemma Pg. 297
